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.) ]

It's what I'm in school for, actually. So- yeah, you could say that.

Oh wow, so there are schools for that sorta thing where you come from?

There aren't where you're from?

Nope. Science is only partly paid attention to. Magic's...a big thing.

Like... magic-magic? Real magic?

Real magic. We have people called Benders, who can manipulate the elements. My sister says it isn't magic, but come on, it's so obviously magic.

That sounds... pretty cool, actually. Lot of the stuff we can do seems like magic, but it's all grounded pretty hard in technology. Real magic-magic, though? [ pretty awesome tbh. ] Are you able to do it here? [ he's not asking for a demonstration, just... sort of wondering if that kind of thing works here. ]

I wish my world worked that way. It'd make way more sense to me.

[He gives a shrug. ]

I dunno. I'm not a Bender, never have been. Some of us just don't have the ability. Fire and earth benders might be okay, water and earth would struggle, unless we were on a planet.
