Soli Deo gloria
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Big Hero 6.
TAKE FIFTY-FIVE:
Tadashi manually adjusted the volume of Baymax's voice and was about to turn on Baymax again when Fred popped in. He'd run out on a sudden inspiration, making Honey and Wasabi exchange looks over where he could be sprinting to ("Probably the vending machine," said the un-helpful humorous Gogo). He returned wearing ridiculously huge red-padded headphones, like something a scared fighter pilot would wear to protect his hearing.
"See these?" Fred said, pointing to the huge headphones squeezing his head.
"It's hard not to," Gogo said dryly.
"See? I'm prepared for anything now," Fred said.
"Anything related to sound emitting from Baymax," the factual Honey gently corrected.
"What?" Fred said loudly.
"I said, Anything related to sound emitting from Baymax!" Honey called louder.
"What?" Fred shouted, and he lifted one of the thick ear cups. "Can you pl-ease, Honey, repeat yourself?"
"Even with the headphones off, it won't go into your thick skull," Gogo said sardonically.
Honey repeated herself a third time while throwing a slightly impatient look at Gogo.
"Oh. So right, Honey," Fred agreed amiably.
Gogo sighed and said, "Proceed, Tadashi. It's nothing worth listening to anyway."
Tadashi didn't say anything, thinking it a good idea to stay out of friend politics, and said to the red-blinking camera, "My name is Tadashi Hamada, and this is the fifty-fifth test of my robotics project."
—Baymax didn't do anything first off, which was a good sign (he didn't do anything bad, so that was something good), so Tadashi said, to start the trial, "Ow."
Baymax whirred to life and his scanner rang out, just as it had with Gogo, only instead of silently and stealthily as with Gogo, it sprouted out with a WHIRRRRRR and as it scanned Tadashi, it made these horrible ringing and whirring noises. Baymax's scanner beam retreated back into Baymax and Baymax took two steps forward; each step made these huge clunking noises as his joints creaked.
"Scan completed; Hamada, Tadashi," said Baymax in a normal voice. "Health status: good." Then a terrible grinding noise made dreadful unwelcome acquaintance with the students' ears as he brought out a lollipop. It was retrieved from an inner pocket popped out from his chest (it popped out with a horrible DING!, like an oven alarm from the depths of sitcom TV hell), and the plastic CRACKLED as Baymax took it out; one felt like his ears could hear every distinct twitch and bend of his knuckles as he picked up the lollipop. The pocket banged back out of sight and all cringed. And Baymax's arm WHIRRED and screeched as he held out the lollipop to Tadashi. "Have a lollipop for being a good patient," Baymax said in a normal, not-amplified voice.
Tadashi quickly grabbed the lollipop, crumpling it in his hand as he turned Baymax off with his arm still sticking out.
"I think you amplified everything except his voice," Honey suggested as an answer.
"Wow. It feels like my ears had a microscope to hear every little sound; too much, please and thank you," Wasabi said miserably, sounding as if he wanted to go deaf.
Fred pulled off his heavy-duty headphones and said, "So, what went wrong?"
Everyone, especially a sullen Gogo, gave Fred such a look.
Thanks for reading!
