[Audio/Video | 001: Arrival ]
[It's definitely a smart phone. It's definitely not her own. But, this one has signal and the other one doesn't, and she's just gotten herself out of one pod to find that she's surrounded by thousands of them. If there's anyone who knows what's going on...]
Tony?
[To most ears, she sounds carefully neutral. Calm, if you miss the little quaver that underpins the words.]
What's going on? Is it the chitauri? Is this--
[She ends the audio call on that, returning a couple moments later in the form of a video of a slender woman in a good quality business suit -- somewhere late-20th or early 21st century by its cut, and conservative enough to really fit any time that women are wearing modern suits. The backdrop is still the ship and she sems a lot more composed.]
I'm not sure who's out there, but if anyone can tell me what's going on here, I'd appreciate it. Was there another invasion attempt?

None of us are certain why or how you ended up here, I'm afraid.

[She peers at him, concern creasing her features.]
Has something happened? You look a little--

We're in the midst of rescue and reconstruction now.
[His smile fades in favour of concern.] Are you still near the ship? It may not be safe; there are still predators lurking about.
Re: Video
I'm neither an engineer 'nor a doctor, but if you need help with the organizational side of that, let me know -- I've got a little bit of experience in herding cats at a moment's notice. And, um... I'm still on the ship, actually. I have someone coming to me, though.

We can always use more organisation. The hospital's a bit hectic, honestly - for the most part, we're simply treating people as they come in, and we're stretched a tad thin.
Re: Video
What can you tell me about the hospital in terms of numbers? Doctors, nurses, semi-skilled laypeople... that sort of thing. And what kind of injuries are coming in, mostly?
Video - sorry this took so long!
The hospital was dreadfully understaffed before all this, and now...well. We've three actual doctors - there were four, but one was wounded. There are two apprentices helping with the more minor cases. There are eight nurses on site, two with the SAR teams.
There are about a dozen volunteers, but they don't have much medical training between them. ...I'm not technically qualified myself, but I've a lot of experience to go on.
Our supplies are dwindling quickly. I estimate we've a week at the outset, perhaps more with proper organisation.
There are a variety of injuries, between the predators and the debris, but the majority seems to be varying degrees of blunt trauma.
No problem! I saw the mod info post for you. :P
Organization I can do. Would they be willing to accept help from someone who's, um, about as fresh off the boat as you can be?
Video <3
They'd accept help from most anywhere at this point, I think.

Oh! And my name's Pepper. Pepper Potts.

[And the grin is back!] It's a pleasure, Ms. Potts. I'm the Doctor.
