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.

Kids... I hate that so many of you seem to have come from worlds where that sort of thing is necessary.

[There's a flash of bitterness in Pepper's tone, but it's a brief thing -- there and gone again beneath poised attentiveness.]

Keep in touch with Wing, and with Tony Stark and whoever volunteers fromt he hospital. And good luck.

Mostly just the mutant kids. But, uh, yes ma'am.
