[The screen is showing a very anxious little boy. He doesn't use the comms very often for just anything at all - no, Takeshi's all about being practical, using it for when he has a question or something to that effect, or maybe threatening somebody. So it's no surprise that he's kinda serious right now. Like he's working on summoning up the courage.]

Um... I dunno if - if it's bad to ask right now, but... Uhhh... I wanna... talk to some doctors...

I'm not hurt! I'm okay! But - can you - check my head? 'Cause at home... I had a chip. It's called a chip, my dad said. They put it in my head, and it makes people's heads a'splode. I don't think it works no more, 'cause - 'cause I talk about stuff I shouldn't talk 'bout, and I'm okay still, but I don't want my head to a'splode. Someone said I need to see if it's okay. So I am!

[A pause.]

I'm okay, though! Heder - Ned - don't worry.

[Because it's TOTALLY NOT A BIG DEAL

RIGHT? RIGHT. 

oh lawdy, child.

Suddenly the camera turns to a panda bear, sitting on Takeshi's second bed, chewing quietly on a stick.



He looks at the camera, pauses, and then goes right back to his task.]

And!! This is Hoi Hoi! Please don't shoot him! He's a nice bear. He just likes hugs. I gotta find bamboo for him. I think he'll like that more than the people food he eats.

Why the hell did they put that in your head?

[And he's not touching the panda thing okay.]

[throwsdown]

They don't like when we talk about the room.

So they make sure if we try to talk - if we talk 'bout the room - someone said it goes ka-blooey! And it does.

But it didn't do that here. I think it doesn't work now.

[elvenking]

[This sounds awful, but...yeah, medical personnel will get it sorted better than he can.]

There is plenty of bamboo in the gardens, pinig. I should very much like to meet Hoi Hoi.

[throwsdown]

[He smiles big at that.]

Hoi Hoi would like to meet you, too! He's really nice.

I gotta show him the bamboo... He'll be so happy...

[oh my GOD]

You need to come to Medbay and see Doctor Brink, all right?

Voice

[throwsdown]

[Dude, but - ]

- who's Doctor Brink?

Is he good at fixeding - fixing people's heads?

voice;

[handelaar]

Should've asked -

[WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HERE WHAT THE HELL, CHILD. Don't worry his flat pasty ass.

But he's still carefully trotting around everything Takeshi, and so he cuts himself off. Takes a breath. Just. Regroups and all that shit.]

Who said. That you need to check.

voice;

[throwsdown]

[He frets a bit at telling Netherlands, because... he doesn't want him mad. He doesn't, not after all the stuff that's happened. But he doesn't show it.] Mr. Edgeworf... I told him once and he said I need to go to the doctor. So they can look.

Just 'cus that's safe, and it's... good to be safe.

THREADJACK HA

[sweetmotherofgod]

Really? That's your question?

[darkforce]

[bad thoughts bad thoughts bad thoughts. because this is familiar. this is something he had to deal with for the first ten years of his life. an explosive chip only ever means one thing-]

...are you a slave?

[throwsdown]

[He's quiet for a moment.]

A slave? What's — wassat? A slave?

[sweetmotherofgod]

[NOW you're mentioning this just now???

you little shit]

Just so you know, that never works. That "don't worry" thing.

video; wait this comment works better here

[throwsdown]

[TOO LATE I LISTENED TO YOU AND NED.]

I was gonna tell you!! I was!!

[He shrinks inward a bit, hesitating. Well, there's a reason he didn't tell her in person. It's easier to tell someone something you should have told them a long time ago..]

I — I was gonna tell you.... but Chase died, and everyone was sad — and then I... I forgot to.

[That's genuinely the answer, too.

His attention span. Not that great.]

I didn't want to make things worser...

But they always get worser.

[chromosomes]

What?

[ no just

WHAT ]

video;

[throwsdown]

I — a chip. S'a chip.

[Did he say it weird? Did he not make sense?]

video

[askedtobe]

[ welp. that's somewhat TERRIFYING. ]

Who actually put a chip in your head?

video

[throwsdown]

The man in the ball did! Gantz did. He puts chips in all the heads in the aparpment.

So people don't talk 'bout him.

That's what my dad says.

[so so mellow rn]

[fallasleep]

[ ... They have kids on this ship. Roy rubs at his eyes, and hisses out a breath before he switches on the communicator. ]

Hey. [ Look what's behind him: medbay. Yay? ] That's an interesting bear you have there. He's come pretty far from home, hasn't he?

[ He's not even going to think about a kid with a chip in his head jesus. ]

video;

[throwsdown]

[This is a good change from all the other replies; not that they're bad — Takeshi just... didn't expect so many, as strange as that sounds. He's admittedly a little more nervous after hearing a few. So he breathes out and smiles hard and nods.]

He's very far! But I want him to be a happy panda. And happy pandas need lots of bamboo.

And trees, I think. I think he likes trees; I like them, too...

Video

[whynotzoidberg]

[The fact that the kid has a chip doesn't even phase Zoidberg. He just hears "I wanna talk to some doctors" and here he is.

He looks fairly nonchalant as he looks at the screen, poised in an almost professional manner.]

Sure, I'm a doctor. I can look at your head maybe.

Video

[throwsdown]

.......

Your face is really red.

[what, that seems like a good way to start a conversation]

voice »

[hypospray]

[ You've got to be kidding him who puts chips in tiny kids' heads. Simon may have already said something, but kids can be stubborn creatures and— it never hurts to say it again. ]

Kid, you should have told one of us before now. Doctors can't help if we don't know something's wrong. [ A beat. ] Dr. Tam's right though, Dr. Brink specializes in heads and brains and fixing them.

voice »

[throwsdown]

I know... I was gonna, but then lots of stuff happened. I forgot I was gonna say — I was gonna, but I forgot.

I know, I gotta get it fixed. I gotta make sure my brain's okay.

voice.

[ironsights]

[ goddammit takeshi ]

... is this from that game you were talking about?

voice.

[throwsdown]

... Uh-huh. It's from the game.

But I feel okay. I just gotta fix it, the doctor's can look and fix things.

[northerner]

That's like no bear I've seen before, Takeshi.

[ but that's really not the priority here. ]

Have you spoken to someone from medical bay yet?

[throwsdown]

Um.... Y-yeah. Mr. Ned's gonna take me.

... Maybe I shoulda' remembered to tell them before... I think they're mad at me now...
