[Private Video] Seeking Sea Captains, Monday, Week 18

[Privacy is less a concern than staying out of the way of the thronging hospital crowds, but both play their part to have Pepper making this call from the quiet of her apartment. It's come together nicely, she feels, with a backdrop of her couch and some heavy drapes, hung in anticipation of winter's chill.

Mug of tea, hair neat and tidy, no sudden attacks of tooth-spinach, she appears on Captain Silene's communicator with a look of abstractly businesslike hope.]

Captain? This is Pepper Potts. I'd asked our traders to bring you one of these, so I hope it's made its way to you.

I'm certain by now some of you have realized the danger you're in. Disease is nothing to be taken lightly.

If you are not yet ill, and you'd care to be sensible and leave this city while there's still something to be left, I am departing in a day's time. You will have to earn your keep, but I will make sure you're fed, and do not stumble blindly into some monster's lair.

If you wait here and come to your senses later, I'm afraid you'll be on your own.

((ETA: Just to clarify, this is the official opt-out group - if you haven't signed up here, you're welcome to respond, but can't go with the group.))

[There's a kind of nervous-looking Toad on the network today. He's obviously flustered by something or another, but knowing him, that could be anything from Outer Authorities to an unplanned encounter with a bar of soap.]

Yo, guys! Where the heck are ya? I've been lookin' everywhere for you guys! Edmund's takin' people outa town, I wanna get goin' and you three'd better come along, a'right?

[Yeah, so this is wide-open to everybody. It's not really all that clear who he's talking to, but probably the people he's actually talking to can guess he means them. Probably. Maybe? He hopes?]
