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.) ]

A little proud. Sort of proud. He's still way more trouble than he's worth, though. Trust me.

[ it might be a little easier to believe any of that if tadashi weren't just nearly glowing with pride. hiro had come a long way in a short time, had transitioned from building bots for illegal backalley fights to creating microbots -- something that could quite literally change the world. he had worked hard, and deserved every iota of recognition that he got.

the smile that persists on his face is not one he is making a conscious effort to maintain. ]

Right now? Uh - jeez, I wish I had it here with me, he'd be really handy. His name's Baymax. He's a healthcare bot, it's - [ ahhh how to explain this ] - he can make diagnoses and do basic first aid, his scanners make getting and monitoring vitals quick and simple, and - you know, there are a lot of understaffed hospitals, or people who can't afford to see a real doctor, or places that just don't have the resources, and with enough bots like these - he could help a lot of people, you know?

[ this was tadashi, trying not to get too excited, trying not to completely and utterly geek out with terms over the head of someone utterly unfamiliar with his world. he's doing his best, ok. :') tbh even at home he doesn't spend a lot of time with people out of the lab, and this kind of stuff is just sort of innate there. ]

[ She has enough context and information to follow, more or less, and she can tell he's excited about it. That in and of itself is enough to get her kind of excited as well, never mind wishing they had the capabilities for that sort of technology back in Thedas. ]

Oh, I wish we could have something like that back home - there are so many people who can't get to anyone who knows more than a few herbal remedies, let alone a proper healer. I can't even do much in the way of useful healing spells, to be honest.

That sounds amazing. How does it know what's wrong with people if it's a machine?

[ Don't worry about going over her head too much, she'll make note of the things she doesn't follow and ask Hiro about it. ]

You'll get there eventually. [ his smile is a little torn. it sucks, he hates that there are places without the resources to give people what they need, but -- ] As long as there are people who care, things will keep getting better. You said you can't do much, but that's better than nothing, right?

[ o k a y tadashi let's put the reins on those inspirational speeches. he shakes his head, as if clearing cobwebs. ]

He can do a full-body scan like that- [ and here he snaps his fingers ] -and pull up, jeez, just about everything you could want to know. It's got the potential to do a lot of really great things. [ someone is proud of his baby :') ]

[ They can have an inspirational speech-off sometime. ]

It is better than nothing, definitely.

I'm sure he will. You're so passionate about it, I can't imagine anything less.

[ HAHA good job steffa, you've embarrassed him a little. ]

Well, if you're gonna devote your life to something... better make sure it's something you care about, right?

[ he means robotics in general, not necessarily the healthcare-bot, but. ]

Yes. That seems like a very good rule of thumb.

[ Well, with the blight over and Thedas Maker only knows where in relation to here, maybe she can start working on the things she actually wanted to be able to do. Because being a Warden? Wasn't really on that list. ]

I look forward to meeting you properly once you're on a ship, you remind me a lot of Hiro.

Hey, I'm the older brother. I think you mean Hiro reminds you of me.

[ grinning slightly, just enough to say that he knows what she meant, he's just making a joke. ]
