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.]

[At first, Wanda is ready to fire back at Pepper with even more anger and heat. But... when Pepper continues, Wanda shuts her mouth and listens. What she says is almost exactly what Wanda expected to hear, however, there is a quality of sincerity to her tone that cools Wanda's temper somewhat. Once Pepper has finished speaking, Wanda pauses to think over her next words carefully. When she speaks, her tone is calm and level like before, but a tinge of anger still remains. She pauses after every line or so, letting the weight of her words carry. As she goes on, her tone becomes less angry and more... cautious.]

You are right. There is nothing you can do. And you are right that I do not believe Stark or his company has completely changed.

But... He is different. The Stark here more so than the one I know, but they are both different.

Stark wishes to do good. To fix his mistakes. It burdens him though. He tries to hold it all on his shoulders, and he fears that if he cannot balance it all...

It is this fear that will drive him to make more mistakes. Lives will be in danger. At some point, he will not be able to fix it all on his own. He will need to rely on his friends... his allies... He is scared of losing them, though he will not admit it out loud.

He will lose them though. If he does not trust them. If he does not believe in them.

If you care about Stark... help him to understand this.
