[Michiru only hesitates a moment before coaxing a finger over what she hopes will be the switch that turns this on to broadcast -- though broadcast to whom, she's not entirely sure. Still, they're in the dark. And they need answers, even if she's not sure how well she'll be able to trust any of the answers that come.

But there wasn't much choice.]

I'm not sure who is out there and hearing this, but we're looking for... answers. Any answers. Where is this place. Why are we here?

[All business, a plainly guarded expression on her features, blue eyes fixed steadily on the video screen.]

And how did we even get here? Who kidnapped us and who do we need to defeat to get home?

[The deeper voice comes from somewhere off screen, and a dusty blonde head looks briefly over Michiru's shoulder to frown at the screen, too. Then it's gone again, as Haruka pulls back and gets back to finishing getting her things together.]

If we were brought here, there's a way to get back where we came from. There has to be.

[Michiru's gaze flickers back only briefly towards her partner. Who do they need to defeat. It's crossed her mind too; if this is another battle they need to face to fulfill their duty, she's willing to face it.]

We'd appreciate any answers anyone has. That's all. Thank you.

You're too nice, Michiru, you should have--

[And that's all of Haruka's growled complaint that the feed gets before it shuts off.]

[JAPANESE? Yes! He knows some of these words.]

Hello. I'm pretty new here too, but I'll try my best to help you out.

[The video feed shows a dark-haired man with what appears to be a welding mask pushed up on top of his head, eyebrows lifted high in a combination of surprise and amusement.]

No kidnappers here.

[His Japanese carries a definite accent, and is a little stilted - he can speak it well enough to communicate, but he's by no means fluent.]

Do you speak English?

[Tosh gives both girls a friendly smile, trying to be reassuring...or something. Not that she's very good at being reassuring, particularly in situations like this.]

I've only been here a short time, I'm afraid, but I'm quite willing to share the information I do have. This is a planet known as Verdana; most people here woke up in the pods on the ship, but I don't think anybody has yet to figure out how we all got here, or who is responsible for putting us in stasis in the first place.

[Pepper's mien is restrained and pleasant welcome. It's funny how often her default setting when handling the overawed or irate visitors to various Stark holdings or functions is a good approach for this strange new world.

Then again, 'strange new world' has been applied to describe some Stark holdings'.]

I offer apologies for the poorness of my Japanese. If you are comfortable with English, I can explain more if you would like. Welcome to Verdana. my name is Pepper Potts.

[Not being a genius and polymath, her Japanese is far more stilted than Tony's, relying heavily on phrasing that speaks to a language learned and practised in the name of business and good will best efforts.]
