Who: Hiro Hamada!
Broadcast: Text
Action: Bishop, Cargo Bay
When: 3/11, afternoon

sooooo i might have done that "project tunnel vision" thing again. not gonna lie, it was pretty nice. i've been running maintenance so much i was starting to forget what it's like to be making something new.
i've been running around the city when i need money, but it's been brought to my attention that that isn't "socializing".
so
hi, everybody. hiro hamada here. impressionable teenager who isn't getting enough people time and is going to "end up a hermit" if he doesn't say hello to the fleet once in a while.
what did i miss??

So, just curious: did you even notice when I transferred to the Three Twins?

[ spoilers: tadashi did not transfer to the three twins. ]

[everydayhero]

wait
what?!
no you didn't!!!!

[he's looking for you now]

[experiencepoints]

This happens to you a lot, doesn't it?

text

[everydayhero]

forgetting to talk to people? yeah. comes with the "engineering genius" thing.

text

[stefanged]

Hey, Hiro. Honestly, I don't think you missed a lot.

[He's also not much for checking the Network, so the world could've exploded and he wouldn't know.]

What kind of projects do you work on?

text

[everydayhero]

[#same]

at this point i do a lot of maintenance on the stuff i already made. alarms, locks, music system, the paint and lights on the ship, the compost system, etc.
but i do pretty much anything anybody asks for.
why, you interested??

[preformthisneigh]

[Sorry Hiro, until one of you nerds invents a keyboard he can use, you got voice all the way. ]

Didya make anything neat while you were in Inventing Land? That's the important question here.

Voice;

[everydayhero]

Uh, duh? Well. It's on its way, at least. It'll be done really soon, it has to go through some testing.

[huaaaaagh]

Have your critics ever heard of socializing on the job?

[Not. That he's any good at doing that, himself. But it's a thing that people do! He's witnessed it personally!]

text

[everydayhero]

when your critics are family it hardly matters

text.

[paraclete]

Is it a little difficult for you to socialize?

text.

[everydayhero]

not really
i just want to see my projects through, yknow???
and sometimes that involves like six weeks of sleeping at the desk.

text

[delincuente]

hey nothing wrong with hermits
we can all be hermits together
live in some caves far away from other people
come up with our own cave memes
it'll be ideal

[translation, she missed you boy]

text

[everydayhero]

let me guess: things are boring when i'm not around?
we should get lunch or something.
i need cooked food and i need belth to not wear himself out making/conjuring it.

[arcanepower]

[Belth is texting him from the kitchen because he can.]

I apologize for enabling you. I quite enjoyed our experiments, however. We were very productive!

text;

[everydayhero]

psshhhh you say "enabling" like i wouldn't opt for time with you
and yeah we were
minimal burns and everything!

text

[actsmagnificent]

I hope it's a useful project.

[ For the good of the ship, Captain! ]

text

[everydayhero]

useful for the guy who ordered it!
plus like
mixing magic and robotics
and also bionics
there is literally nothing cooler than messing with stuff like this for the first time.

Action

[two_jedi_sticks]

[Jaina's leaning in the cargo bay door, knocking on the wall to make sure an apparently distractible engineer realizes she's there. His text was too interesting not to come in person.]

Am I allowed to come in, or will a spoil a grand reveal for your special project?

Action

[everydayhero]

[he raises his head from the communicator, and he certainly doesn't seem to mind.]

Oh, hey. You can come in, don't worry about it. We haven't really been keeping it a secret.

action;

[winn]

[ the inevitable assignment didn't really agree with winn - kara isn't on this ship, and neither is anyone he's talked to on the marsiva. but sulking and being generally scared isn't going to solve his problems - it's not going to get him home or make space any less terrifying. so when he sees a transmission from a familiar face, he decides to get up and wander the ship in search of its creator. he was once a scary kid who was way too good with computers for anyone's good, he's not going to judge and miss out on some possibly good help here. besides, what has he got to lose?

he knocks on the open cargo bay door before poking his head in ]

He - llo?

action;

[everydayhero]

[oh hey there new friend.]

Heeeeello?

[hiro's gonna just wave from his chair at his little home-made (welded) desk over here. the cargo bay has plenty of room for the crates of supplies they have, plus the gumballs from their current mission. it also seems that half of it has been overtaken by various robotics equipment. none of it looks even remotely professional; he's been working with the basics here.]

[After her extensive stint as a bouncer on the city station, Yang was more aware than ever how badly she was missing her ember celica. However, she was finding it a lot harder to craft a replacement on her own. If only she knew a technical, engineering wiz kid who might be able to help her out... oh, wait a second...]

Hey, captain! Do you by chance have some time to talk to your faithful security officer? Or, well... one of them at any rate?

Text

[everydayhero]

always
what's on your mind?

[text]

[eyeforaneye]

Socializing is best saved for after projects are completed.

[text]

[everydayhero]

hey
psst
do you know how to make a bionic arm with the capacity to channel large quantities of energy safely (i.e., not blowing another large portion of your body off due to malfunction)?
do you know what materials are best for it?
do you know how to put it together so that it works with your nerves?
cuz i do (now)
and if you want one i am going to have to ask you to stay in your lane, because this kind of thing is really frickin' complicated in ways you, sir, are not capable of comprehending at your current level of study.
so
be nice
and let me have my playtime so that i don't go crazy
bc this thing will take less time for me to dismantle than it did for me to design and i don't do refunds.

[my brother might be a wuss and afraid of pissing off his girlfriend's friends but i am a Stupid Fifteen-Year-Old Boy with a big head (i mean look at it) and i am not afraid of mouthing off to the wrong person]

/late video ......

[ino]

[ She just looks amused. ]

I don't think you'd make a very good hermit. They don't have computers and stuff out in the woods.

video just for you ino

[everydayhero]

I'd bring a generator and build wooden technology. Or I'd make a water mill to build power.

[ frowning mightily, ]

You haven't been forgetting to eat too, have you?

[ stop pulling a dojima, hiro. ]
