[Audio: The Hot Zone] Monday evening, week 18

This is Pepper Potts.

I'm going to keep details thin in an open broadcast like this, but I've gotten information from a contact that suggests a potential location for the start of this current disease outbreak.

It will require travel over water, so air transport or the ability to transport yourself or others will be required to accomplish this in a timely fashion. There's also a risk of active disease agents still being present, so some sort of containment gear might be good.

My talents are very much not medical research ones, so don't ask me for details, but this might, I hope, help people who do have those talents figure out just what's going on here.

I'm afraid that isn't in my personal area of expertise, but there are some people who have been working on the ship. At least one's going on the excursion, but if you can contact Dr. Bruce Banner or Ms. Toshiko Sato they can bring you up to speed -- tell them Pepper's concerned about there being a secure workspace if samples are brought back.

Oh -- and a dinosaur named Darwin was asking similar things -- you and she might work well together, I think.

Oh! Yes, I know Mister Banner. I'll definitely get on it right away. Thank you. Um. For the information.

Information is something I'm very good at handling.

[This is a small understatement, but Pepper is nothing if not polite. She smiles briefly at some internal joke before her expression grows serious again.]

Just be careful not to let Bruce overdo. -- he's currently sick, and not always the most sensible about taking care of himself. But good luck, Drift.

Well, I definitely know the value of such a skill set.

Yes, ma'am. I promise I'll try to look after him. Thanks again.
