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

[pepperspray]

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.

[By the time the answer comes, Pepper is already in the thick of approximately fifteen other things, of varying degrees of related to the excursion. She still spares Eliot a quick smile.]

Some good interest levels, and some good talents. How are you doing?

[golden_retriever]

Well enough. Helpin' where I can, the usual. [ Eliot didn't sound very happy though, definitely not content. ]

Look, I know you've got lots who can help, but if you need someone else lookin' out for this exploration team of yours, I can help. I've been workin' in this hospital long enough that if this bug affects me, I should be affected already.

And... I'd rather be there where I can do more than here.

Fair enough. If I had any useful skills for this sort of thing at all, I'd be there too.

All right. Make contact with the team heading out there -- Tony Stark is one of them, as are Ms. Sato and Ms. Romanoff, if you remember them from my party. Wing's handling the transportation.

And stay safe, all right?

[golden_retriever]

Always.

Tony Stark... can't say the names are familiar, but I'll manage. I remember Wing though.

You too, take care of yourself.

I'll be in touch.
