[Crush injury? Gangrene? As the guy who programmed Baymax, Tadashi's retained a pretty respectable amount of medical information, but one doesn't need all that much medical know how to recognize just how bad Baymax's immediate diagnosis sounds. That knowledge does, however, provide him with a very unpleasant chain of possible events that, while already awful to read about in books, are downright horrifying to be presented with in real life. Gangrene can lead to infections in the blood, which can lead to sepsis, septic shock, death...
Whether he recognizes his little brother's instinctive step back for what it really is doesn't matter just now. It's not something he has time to consciously consider once the microbots move, and the big brother he needs to be automatically steps in. The microbots take hold of Baymax and Tadashi moves without thinking, stepping quickly around Hiro, using one hand to try and press him back while he stoops down closer to Callaghan's eye level.
It's the same reaction they saw during that night on the pier. Pain and disorientation leading to panic and lashing out. It's lucky they're not at the water's edge again, but such an enclosed space isn't doing them any favors either. This can't be allowed to escalate.]
Professor... [He starts soft, hesitating for a moment before switching to a slightly harder tone. No yelling, no accusing, but still strong (stronger than he feels at the moment). It's time to pay attention.]
Robert. No one's going to hurt you. [He spreads both arms slightly to each side, risking an opening to prove there's no danger.] No armor, no weapons. Please, let us help you...
