Video. "Welcome Back Hoi Hoi" Not an outdated pop culture ref at all.
Who: Takeshi, baby Hoi Hoi (aka a panda version of baby Groot) and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Goldstone
When: Now
[When the feed opens up, Takeshi is in hysterics. Tears streaming and face all twisted up and splotchy and deep sobs heaving in his chest.
At first, extremely concerning — but then, you see what he's bear hugging (no pun intended) against his bosom. It's a panda, soft and babyish, still big enough that he's a handful for a boy who looks six or seven, but also very small for a panda bear. He's in a little black suit, round eyes peering around with some confusion at Takeshi's... very emotional outburst.]
IT'S MY HOI HOI!! HE'S BEEN G-G-G-GIVEN B-BACK TO ME — I did the trial and he was there, he was alive, and it's him; he's here, even after I lost him, he's back...!
HE'S ALIVE AGAIN, AND HE'S HERE AND REBORNED, AND HE'S — HE'S — HE'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL.
[He rubs his cheek against Hoi Hoi's fuzzy cheek, leaving a wet spot there, and he heaves a sob.]
I l-love you so much, Hoi Hoi. I'll protect you now, I'll always keep you s—safe...!!
[Hoi Hoi yawns, unaware of just how important this reunion is. Takeshi and his panda friend can be found in the captain's room; he's got him on his bed and is feeding him some of that synthetic milk from a bottle kindly given by a local. Near Hoi Hoi's foot is a half-destroyed fish plushy. Or maybe you find him in the kitchen, Hoi Hoi sitting on the table while Takeshi writes a thank you note to place in that temple later.
His best friend is alive, and everything is so good.
If you're passing back and forth you may find your leg suddenly clung to by said panda baby.
... And if you're interested in why this is a big deal for the lad, just read this completely awful and terrible thread featuring pet death from his last game.
God help you, though.]

No, not where I live. Perhaps in further lands! Is he full grown, or a babe yet?
video
So I gotta be the best mom I can be!
video
I am sure you will be - he is clearly quite attached to you!
video
He prays he can be what Hoi Hoi needs; taking care of a grown up version was hard, but worth it.]
I hope so...! I wanna make my mom proud, too -- um, my adopted mom! Her name was Heather, and she was in the other place I was trapped at. She was really really nice to me... and always helped me! She disppeared a while ago, b-but -- I still wanna make her proud, anyways...
video
I am sure you will. She sounds like a very good person who must have loved you very much.
video
My real mom was a lot different...
But Heather is a good person. A really good person. I'm sad that I can't see her, but I think... I think she's okay at home. As long as she got to go home... I gotta be happy for her.
video
[ Maglor says gently ]
I am sure she would want you to be happy, also.
video
I know she would...
I think she'd be happy to know I have so many nice people here. Like you!
video
Thank you for saying so, Takeshi. I am sure she would be - and proud of you too, for working so hard as a captain.
video
Being a captain... [He sighs a little.] It can be kinda hard, sometimes.
Re: video
Have you folk to aid you?
video
Even if some of 'em try to pretend to be serious.

I just gotta make sure nobody's too depressing.
