Who: Tadashi & you!
Broadcast: TEXT - Fleetwide.
Action: SS Bishop
When: 5/31

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm curious: how many of you received augments that aligned with what your interests were at home? My brother and I are both really into robotic engineering, but he's an engineer and I ended up with lab support. Considering that the last big project I finished was a nursebot, I can't help but feel like Atroma's playing a joke on me. :P

Other than that... any guesses what our next stop is gonna be like? I'll buy lunch for whoever guesses it right.

Oh, it's Tadashi Hamada, by the way, on the SS Bishop. Guess I haven't really made an actual broadcast since getting here.

[ aaand he will just be chilling in the med bay, as usual, if anyone on his ship needs to find him. ]

[Belthazar bursts into the med bay, half-tripping over his own robes and dropping a couple of books. They're starter science books, for the record.]

Human-- I mean, healer-- TADASHI.

[Addressing people like that is very rude, Belthazar.]

Teach me about cells! I want to learn how your weird human science works.

[ishere]

[ tadashi flat-out stares at him for a second, briefly and utterly dumbfounded. his eyes cut down to the books, then back up to belthazar's face, before he chokes out a surprised laugh. ]

Are you alright? And did you greet me with "human?" Seriously?

[arcanepower]

[Belth didn't want to be laughed at. His cheeks color.]

I didn't realize those large ears meant you were an elf.

[BELTH NO]

[ishere]

[ WH



his own face goes pretty red in total embarrassment. ]

What? No, I just meant - my name's Tadashi, dude, come on!

[arcanepower]

I only forgot your name for a second! [He's trying to backpedal and failing. Look at this kid digging himself a bigger hole.] And-- anyway, I live in a world with at least twenty different sentient races. It isn't an insult to be referred to by your race when you're surrounded by orcs, goblins, trolls, tauren, and the undead.

[ishere]

Yeah, uh -

[ don't mind tadashi, here: he's just reaching up to absentmindedly rub at his ears, as if doing that enough will somehow make them shrink. so embarrassing. good job, dude. ]

- anyway. Science. You want to learn - science from me?

[arcanepower]

[Poor Tadashi.]

Yes! [Aaaaand here comes the rambling.] I want to know about cells and how they interact and if they share energy or mana and I want to know what a 'mitochondria' is and I want to see cells up close and how they reproduce and I want to know what they look like in comparison to different things like plants and animals--

[ishere]

Whoah, whoah - slow down a little here.

[ he'll hold up his hand to cut him off, shaking his head slightly as he does. ]

I'm not really - I mean, I can teach you that sort of thing, I'd be happy to, but it's not exactly my specialty? So we might have to ask around if you manage to stump me. And we're going to need a microscope - probably a pretty decent one, if you're wanting to look at stuff up close like that. Can I see the books you brought?

[ tadashi is so baffled by this request, but he hardly seems put out. ]

[arcanepower]

You know more than I do. [He's not even a little bothered at being cut off, he knows how he is.] Really? I thought there would be a microscope in the lab here...

[He shifts his grip on the books, then hands them over. Intro to Physics-- probably not any help. Someone's Biology 101 textbook, that might be useful. And a couple others on particulars of how the human body works.]

[ishere]

The really basic stuff in the lab isn't gonna show you what you're asking to see. I doubt I could make the modifications needed with the tools on hand, either, but we can figure something out.

[ tadashi glances at the textbooks, flipping through the biology one, before he makes a curious sound in his throat and looks back up to bel. ]

If you can tell me why you're wanting to learn, it'll go a long way to helping me teach you.

[arcanepower]

[He sighs, already disappointed. But he's trying really hard.]

Ino told me about them. She's going to give me lessons on how to heal but I want to know how it works. She explained about chakra and how it's the energy between cells and Hiro is used to this kind of stuff and I suppose you are too since you're brothers and I want to know everything.
