Who: Hiro Hamada
Broadcast: Fleetwide Video
Action: Bishop
When: 5/17



[it appears that the atroma is tired of one of its star ratings-grabbers not doing a damn thing. for the entire duration of april, hiro was fixing ships and running jobs for parts. for the month of may, he's been using those parts. he's currently working with black paint of some sort, with music playing from seemingly nowhere (looks like the sound system he kept talking about got completed).

[if you haven't sought him out, and you're not regularly training him, hiro's been completely radio silent while he's been working. in fact, he hasn't even answered text messages in a couple days.

[when he finishes coating the surface he's working on in the paint, he lowers the mask he's wearing and sighs, wiping (and smearing paint on) his forehead. he looks like a mess.

[but hey, at least he's alive!]

Dude, where'd you get that paint?

[She's a frustrated artists who's been deprived of supplies, sorry kiddo.]

[everydayhero]

... Huh?

[this is hiro looking around over his shoulder, at the rest of the room. where the fuck did that sound come from??

[it takes him a few to see the comm is on.]

--oh. When did this get turned on?

[Oh hey Ino's child is alive. That's cool. He's kinda bored waiting for the rest of his crew to get back from that planet so sure- why not talk to him.]

What are you working on?

[eternaltool]

[Wait.

No.

No freckles.]

Uh. Sorry, wrong -- Shit. Thought you were somebody else, sorry.

[everydayhero]

Aaare you okay?

[everydayhero]

[goddammit it broadcasted to everyone didn't it]

Oh, hey. I'm just putting the final touches on the hyper-composting bin.

[eternaltool]

Yeah, sorry. Like I said, thought you were someone else, from home.

video forever!!!!

[everydayhero]

... Oh. Your friend, I'm guessing?

[delincuente]

[Alex gives a little snort-laugh at his job, and waggles her fingers.]

Atroma's a troll. But seriously. Paint.

[ Y e p. Them are the brakes. ]

A hyper-composting bin...? What's that?

[everydayhero]

Uh--this is... not art paint. It's industrial stuff, and I've only got black. Trying to make it conduct heat a little better. I got it on the waystations we were at I think... a few weeks ago now.

[hiro's been in a cave for a month and has forgotten how to talk to people]

[delincuente]

[Cue REALLY DRAMATIC groan.]

What are you even doing with that stuff?

[everydayhero]

It's gonna compost for all the plants we have growing, make fertilizer. I'm using pressurizing and humidity controls to make it go faster, it usually takes three to six months.

[everydayhero]

Making a hyper-composting bin so we can make fertilizer for all of our medical herbs and crops?

[delincuente]

. . .

[Buffering... buffering...]

Yeah, no. Still boring.

[everydayhero]

It's not boring, it's science. I made the sound system and the upgraded alarm system on this ship, too. It has a rave mode.

[save_the_souls]

So, in other words...it's a machine that makes things rot quicker?

[He considers it]

That's actually...rather clever. Have you been working on it all this time?

[everydayhero]

Once I got the sound system done, yeah. But that didn't take long.

[he runs his fingers through his hair.]

I'm almost done with it, and I've been working on the docking bay lock in my downtime.

[i've been working in my downtime from working]

[delincuente]

Those are basically the same thing to me. I skipped high school science more than I actually went.

[She's listening, though. Sound systems are cool.]

What ship are you even on?

[save_the_souls]

[....Wow....]

Ha...sounds like you've been keeping yourself busy.

[What a nerd]

[got_it_memorized]

You look like a man in need of a break.

[realhumanbeing]

Hiro! There you are!

[everydayhero]

Shame. I barely remember high school science, it was so easy.

SS Bishop. I'm the first mate, Hiro Hamada. You might have seen me fixing everybody's ships last month.

[everydayhero]

Well, yeah, I had a lot to do before the fleet was hit. Makin' up for lost time.

[and losing weeks more]
