zerotohiro | Some Legends Are Told, Some Turn To Dust Or To Gold [CEREALIA INBOX]

Good. I'm glad you see things my way. :)

Hey wait one more thing. I can have help with this quest or whatever, right?

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely, that'd be awesome. There aren't a lot of people here who know how to build machines or robots so...it'd be really cool to see the difference in design. [He thinks on that for a moment.] Baymax couldn't be too big if he was designed to be a nurse, but he's still pretty big. I've built smaller robots myself but not as advanced as he is.

...does the military use a lot of tech like that where you're from or what?

[ > Draw out specs for mobile suits.

Fully noted, somewhere in his head. He'll deliver them pretty promptly once he sits down and does them. ]

That makes sense. Anything bigger would be rather intimidating, which defeats the purpose of having nursing programming. [ He wouldn't want something huge looming over him in a doctor's office, regardless of how cute it looked. ] Who built him? Or did you help?

[ So many questions, SO LITTLE TIME. ]

Yeah, all the time. Most of the technology deals with transport from Earth to space or something weapons-based. Space colony tech was developed a little over a hundred years ago, though they're always looking for ways to make it closer to organic planetary functions.

He was built by some giant nerd for a school project? The guy worked on Baymax for a long time, wrote the original programming himself and built the original body, too, and ran a bunch of tests to make sure he'd work. [He drops the act soon enough and there's a light huff of laughter.] He's also my older brother. Baymax was probably his best invention. But I wrote his other chips and built his armor myself. [And rebuilt the body but only a few people know this. Tadashi's not one of them.]

...wait. Space? [Space???? That shouldn't be so unusual for him all things considered but it's still pretty mindblowing.] What're you doing in space?

[ Trowa is listening intently– this story seems kind of... ah, yeah, there's the twist. When Hiro reveals it's his older brother who invented Baymax, he laughs quietly as well. A good lead up. ]

My compliments to his engineering, then. I've only seen a fraction and Baymax is impressive as is. [ Bonding over robots!!!! ] And to you, of course. The armor design is trim but functional.

[ Of course he'd appreciate defensive and offensive additions. ]

There are space colonies. People live out there and have been for a while now. I grew up on one and only set foot on Earth recently.

You need help for something like this?
Very well. I don't suppose why not.

I didn't say I NEEDED help, just-- --ugh. Whatever. I'll get cotton candy, a whole bunch of it. I'll send it to the castle as soon as I find it.

Thank you!

[ this was easy! ]

Baymax is pretty amazing. [There's no doubt there.] Tadashi put a lot of work into making sure he'd be able to help a lot of people, but he never considered him to be something more than a robotic nurse. [He can probably hear the grin in Hiro's tone.] I only had a couple of days to really perfect it and maybe I'll make some upgrades some day, but it did what we needed it to do. Baymax's exterior's made of vinyl so protecting him at all costs was important.

...and flying just seemed really cool. [It's true. Sometimes he has childish desires.]

So you're probably from even further in the future than I am. [He might just be impressed about that.] What're the space colonies really like? Why did you come down to earth?

He had no grand ideas to make him into a battle nurse? [ A joke??? ] You only had a few days? What spurred that on?

[ Now he's curious. ] Flying is not a bad asset to have on your side.

I suppose so. [ At the questions, he's silent for a moment, thinking them over. How much does he want to say here? ] They're modeled after Earth in a lot of ways. Except they're circular. A ring formation, to assist with the gravitational axis. If you're not used to seeing buildings sticking out from the side and over your head it can be disorienting.

[ He'd grown up in that environment, so he'd been more weirded out by how much space the Earth had. ] I came to Earth out of curiosity. I'd never been before.

[ A LIE. ]

You'd be surprised, but think about it. What's better than a bot who can fight and heal simultaneously? [It's okay, he might be a little sarcastic, too. The question causes him to pause though because…that's a whole other story.] But I figured if we were going to be superheroes, we needed to look the part. I didn't want to waste time designing and re-designing so I worked a lot to perfect everything for battle.

[That's making it sound a little cooler than it really is, but what Trowa doesn't know won't hurt him. He's more interested in space suddenly because…honestly, Hiro's just as big of a nerd as his older brother. The Hamadas have a telescope in their room back home and Hiro in particular has been fascinated with space since he was a kid. Tellus has been an experience, and learning about other timelines and planets has been more than exciting for him despite the circumstances.] I think that'd end up being confusing after a while. How're people supposed to get inside buildings that're over your head? [Hm.] The colony itself is sort of shaped in a ring, too, but not exactly like that. I have a map from a friend of the whole planet that he ended up drawing. Are you in a contained bubble like Cerealia is or is the air actually breathable?

[He slows down finally, regarding his CereVice carefully before he seems to take that for what it is.] Of all the places you could have come to, you chose Earth. I guess it's not a bad choice. I mean I live there, but it's just kind of an interesting choice when there're so many other planets out there.

Can he really do both, simultaneous? [ A valid question..... ] You're superheroes? Like the kind from films?

[ He's heard of the concept before, especially in regards to the early parts of the war. Everyone had been waiting, waiting, for someone to rise up and stop everything once and for all. Instead, they'd gotten great warriors. Amazing soldiers, like one Zechs Merquise. Like Treize Khushrenada.

(Like the Gundam pilots. Trowa doesn't think he's a hero though, not with all the blood on his hands.) ]

You adjust. And you just walk there. There are roads and sidewalks, just like anywhere else. It's not a bubble, not strictly. I can't tell how it compares to here, since I don't know the dimensions. All the colonies have breathable air, so you don't have to walk around in a space suit. It's recommended to wear one, though, if you're going to be close to the exit hatches.

[ BECAUSE SPACE. ]

All that's on the Moon is a Lunar Base. Military only, nothing exciting. There's been wind for a terraformation project set for Mars, but I don't know if that'll ever get off the ground. Venus is too hot. Mostly, though, everyone's too busy fighting each other to make real progress.

[ Oops got a little too real. ] Earth surprised me. We have technology to imitate seasons in space, but nothing like what Earth has. And the weather is different everywhere. It could be raining in Hong Kong but be bright and sunny in Brisbane.

Sooooooo. How would you feel about going to the library with me?

[A pause, and then a scoffing noise on her end.]

You know--assuming the books aren't going to make us act all funky again.

I'm still making some upgrades to really allow him to do both since his armor sorta hinders some of his skills…but yeah, definitely. He's still capable of scanning everybody and collecting data and diagnosis. With some adjustments he'll be even better. [This…is the first time someone's specifically mentioned fictional media as a comparison for being a super hero. It doesn't bother him, but it's kinda cool. It's what he used to associate heroes with, too.] Less freaky powers and there's not a specific school for us to train in or anything, but yeah. Mostly like the kind from films.

[Then again, hearing about space is like hearing about life right out of a sci-fi movie. He's hanging onto Trowa's every word, even going as far as to set down whatever project he was tooling with to give him his undivided attention. The idea of just…dealing seems so simple.]

It's basically a biosphere. And I assume you can change and grow everything inside of it so that you're continually expanding. This place is kinda like that, too, I think. After the flood from a little while ago we had to restructure a lot of stuff. Anyway, I never thought there was anything actually on the moon. [This is actually very fascinating, considering he received a whole history about the Sailor Senshi.] …guess that makes sense though if there's a war. [Isn't that what the military's for? And Trowa did just let it slip that they're fighting, not to mention he's seen his gundam at its full size. You don't make something like that if it isn't going to be used.

…well that's a lie. He might build something like that just for fun, but no one ever said Hiro wasn't a little crazy sometimes.]

Doesn't sound that different from here. Usually the colony's climate controlled, too. [He ponders for a moment.] I've never really thought about how weird it is that the weather can be so vastly different. San Fransokyo's pretty consistent and I haven't really traveled a lot of other places.

[ It's a two-parter, the first text just being a small pile of chips that have been labeled with the title of the book each individual one came from. ]

this will probably net me a couple dozen library fines but they should've hidden them better if they didn't want people taking them out.

Depends. [But he already sounds open to the idea.] What are we researching today?

[He doesn't react at first, namely because he's looking at the chips curiously and trying to parse out just how Kon actually pried them off of the books. Or where he found them in the books. But that doesn't matter too much at this point since they're there.]

So what kind of data do they contain?

People. Things. [A pause.] Mostly people.

[That's not helpful, Korra...]

I wanted to see if there's anything about Julius Vincere, Bellona Recreare, and Mosley in the books anywhere. It'd be kind of boring going through all of that myself, sooooooo...

[Hey, at least she's honest.]

Historical documentation and maybe some biographies? [That's totally helpful, actually.] It'd also probably take you forever to look through everything. Do you guys even have libraries where you're from?

[Don't look at him it's a legitimate question okay.] I think I've got some time. When did you wanna go, now?

[ Specific school? He's not sure about that, but okay, no weird powers. Just man-made; something normal people wouldn't think to do. ] That's pretty incredible. Both of those things. Were his fighting skills implemented through a secondary chipset?

[ Baymax is so cool............

Though, just as pertinent: ]

Do you know how to fight as well? [ He figures yes, but still. ]

Things are rearranged with some frequency. Mostly for upgrades and changes in the building structures or during routine certificate sweeps. The nice thing about colonies being smaller than Earth is that it's easier for upkeep. Then again, Earth mostly suffers from having a lot of battles. Their buildings are redone all the time because of the damages.

[ Oops. ]

Having the base on the Moon put it closest to all the natural resource satellites. It's also a good mid-point to launch off of. [ Strategic. It makes him nervous, because he's not sure when they'll start putting production into overdrive. The Gundams are already pushing OZ to the ledge– have, with Heero being out of the picture for the most part. If they end up with another mission though, once their hands are untied, the retaliation could come in the form of a full army chasing their tails. ]

I've noticed the weather patterns here. [ Controlled, as usual. ] Someone mentioned there being something outside of this place, though. I imagine the jungle has changeable weather.

You should try traveling when you get back. [ Not if, when. ] Earth has a lot of bad points but it's like nothing else.

[bzzzzt!

there is now a video in hiro's inbox at 3 am

good morning]

when i'm not sneezing we need to recreate this video are you up for the challenge

[Lucky for you, Tenka, Hiro's actually awake. And trying not to wake Tadashi up by laughing at this stupid video.]

Duh. I know just the star, too. [Give him a second and he'll be sending along a picture of Mochi who's curled up at the foot of Hiro's bed.] Not sure where we're getting the shark costume though. The roomba should be easy to build at least. Man, are you sick, too?

[Ding! Files attached: log.txt]

Attached is the file you requested of me during that time in the mountains. I trust in your ability to analyze and encrypt it properly.

[But he's got his own encrypted copy, just in case. Better safe than sorry. He knows that CERES is probably monitoring their CereVices like this, but since CERES has been watching them through their eyes anyway, they most likely already know that he has it, so there isn't much point in hiding things like this.

................Yes, this is a month and a half later than the time a normal human being would expect it to come in, but hey, better late than never...?

Aliens are weird.]
