Who: Tadashi Hamada and everyone!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide.
Action: On Marsiva.
When: 3/10-3/14

[ it's probably unfortunate that the network is left open and broadcasting, because tadashi awakes with a jolt and a gasp and sits up fast in his bunk on the marsiva. he isn't sure where he is, but he knows this wasn't where he was, and it's clear there's some mental scrambling going on as he desperately tries to slot in place the very few pieces of the puzzle he has. ]

Professor Callaghan?

[ had something happened? was this the hospital? ]

Hiro? Guys - what's going on?

[ ACTION: ]

[ and until the shuffle, tadashi will be found... pretty much investigating everything he can about the marsiva. he might not have an engineer augment, but he still finds it all pretty ridiculously fascinating. if he's not too absorbed into whatever he's doing, he's equally likely to flag any friendly-looking faces down.

might as well get to know his fellow... space... travelers, right? (wow, that was gonna take some getting used to.) ]

[ that? that gets tadashi to reach up and grip his shirt, right over his heart. ]

Please tell me there are pictures somewhere.

Uh, of course. One second~!

[ Give her a moment while she ... tries to figure out how to attach a damn picture. And encrypt it. Thank you, augment, for helping her out on that one.

Anyways, after a few moments, he'll receive 108478264.jpg -- a selfie taken by her of the two of them, all dressed up in their finest. Oh, and if you look behind them, they are very clearly sitting on the top of a VERY tall building, oops ]

[ okay, one: that's adorable.

two: ]

--where did you guys manage to find a skyscraper in outer space?

Oh, it was on one of the last moons we were docked at. They were all about the fancy, shiny, tall architecture.

[ haha mostly to himself... ]

Well, at least he didn't fall off.

[ oh my god this picture is pretty great though, he has to admit that much ]

Kid cleans up pretty well, I gotta say.

I wouldn't have let him fall!

[ SEEMS VAGUELY INSULTED. Probably because she ninja jumped the poor child up there to begin with. ]

I told you he looked handsome.

Huh? No, I mean - Hiro just has a knack for getting himself into trouble.

[ bot fights bot fights bot fights bot fights.... ]

Seems like he was having fun.

[ aaand maybe this place isn't too bad. not great, per se, but could be worse. ]

[ Well, she can't argue that. He is a bit of a troublemaker. But she's not about to tell Tadashi about the illegal jobs and stuff they were doing, so ... conveniently ignores that part. ]

Well, it seemed like it, anyways.

[ After he stopped wanting to pee his pants, of course. She'll leave out the part about how they got up there, though. Being in outer space and alive is enough madness for one day, he can find out about the ninja thing later. ]

I think he's been having more fun trying to fix up the ships.

[ thank you, ino. he might need to be sitting down for that one. ]

Do they need repairing? Or is he just adding modifications?

Modifications. But the ships aren't all that great to begin with, so you could say it's a little bit of both.

I'm just glad he finally has something legal to keep him busy.

[ Aha ha ha ... yeah ..... sure does ]

Sounds like he's caused you all kinds of trouble.

You know that phrase "too smart for his own good"? They had to retire it after Hiro came along. No one else measures up.

[ She laughs ]

I can see it.

Well, I can't guarantee there won't ever be trouble, but I'm sure the two of us combined can keep him out of it.

[ and tadashi will just duck his head to hide his quiet laughter here. ]

Guess there's a reason they made me lab support.

Oh, a medic? Is that what you do at home? You did say something about a health care thing ...

Huh? -- oh, no, um. I'm a robotics engineering student. I don't really "do" anything yet, if you don't count class projects, but - soon. I've got a lot of ideas. The health care bot is one of them. He's almost finished, and he needs a lot of work and a lot of testing, but he's getting there.

[ and you can see echoes of some of hiro's excitability when he gets on the subject of robotics. ]

[ Double the Hamada, double the cute, it seems ... ]

A health care bot? Like a robot?

And just because you're a student doesn't mean you aren't doing anything.

Yeah. A robot exactly, actually.

[ can't be helped, hamadas got it goin' on. ]

And no, I know, I didn't mean to downplay it. I just meant - going to school is my job right now.

So it ... acts like a doctor, then?

You must have had to do some research for that, at least. I'm sure it'll come in handy for the sickbay.

Yeah. Most of his library was programmed automatically - [ it was that creating that programming that kept tadashi up for days ] - but I can recognize some of the words, I guess.

[ his smile is a little wry. ]

I'll make it work.

I'm sure! My augment isn't lab support, but I have experience as a medic, so I'd be happy to teach you whatever, too.

Oh, and I'm sure Allen would be happy to help, too!
