Who: Pepper Potts-Stark and Anyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Totally Open to anyone on the First Breath
When: Now
[Among those new crew members is one displaced CEO, although this isn’t exactly Pepper’s first time waking up somewhere unfamiliar. No, the sad truth is that her first though on opening her eyes was that the Malnosso had gone back to their old tricks, that some new experiment or war required their presence. Her first shock doesn’t come until she sits up and reflexively tries to stretch her wings—
Only to discover they aren’t there.
A look over her shoulder confirms it, and only then does she begin to worry. Being in Luceti had so often been a hardship, but at least there Pepper had some idea of what to expect. To discover she’d been taken again, seemingly by some different force and potentially to a different universe all together, doesn’t exactly inspire warm feelings.
She doesn’t have long to mull it over though; so soon after she wakes Pepper is being ushered to some other place—some other ship as it turns out, and with no real explanation she finds herself exploring an entirely new space, looking for both answers and familiar faces, one in particular. Rather than that comfort, however, her tour that brings with it some unexpected (and unwanted) surprises—particularly when she comes to the communications panel on the bridge.
Although the problem isn’t that she’s unfamiliar or confused by the numerous controls, as one might expect. As she looks over each switch and screen, Pepper immediately knows their purpose, blanks in her mind filled in before they’ve even properly formed. A stray thought questions if this might be how Tony’s mind clicks on when he looks at some new piece of tech, which isn’t exactly comforting.
Still, if she can broadcast, then maybe she can find those answers she’s looking for, not to mention the people. If not Tony himself, then someone else from either Luceti or her world or both. If this place is anything like the one she’d come from, then those connections would be vital to enduring whatever they were put through.]
Hello, everyone. I’m not sure if this is how it’s typically done, but my name is Pepper Potts-Stark. I’ve just arrived here, and was hoping someone could provide an explanation as to what’s going on? [A pre-written guide would be nice, but Pepper’s not counting on her luck being that good.]
Also, is there a way to tell who else has been brought here? Or to contact someone directly. [There’s a number of people Pepper certainly wouldn’t mind having around, especially depending on just how much this set of ships has in common with Luceti.] Thank you for your time and your help.
[Short, simple, and out.]

Action
He enters just as she's concluding her broadcast.]
Welcome aboard. I'm going to assume you're new here.
[The ship is too small to have avoided seeing anyone for very long.]
Re: Action
But still. It's Indiana Jones.]
I am, yes. [Fighting off a grin, she focuses on the console for a moment, ensuring the broadcast is well and truly off and giving herself a moment to temper her own reaction.] I was just brought here an hour or so ago.
My name is Pepper, by the way. [She tries not to look too expectant as she waits for him to introduce himself; far better she get his name straight away, than let it slip that she already knows it and prompt him to ask how.]
Action
Welcome to the First Breath. It's a marvel, if only because it has more windows than a submarine.
Re: Action
And not because it’s technology unlike anything you’ve ever seen? [Sure, the submarine comparison isn’t too inaccurate, but even for its size the First Breath exceeds much of the technology available in Pepper’s version of earth, and she heads an industry leader.] Sounds like you’re a hard one to impress.
