[What Pepper sees is that unobstructed view, with symbols popping up below it. Her expression is... not reassured.]

Akito? Is that you?

[Why Akito would be using symbols all of a sudden is something she's just not questioning. Invisible people are strange.]

Are you saying that a bomb went off, and that's what happened to the mountain?

Sandman, got it.

[So, Jack Frost, the tooth fairy, some sort of wind spirit, and now the Sandman. Pepper is privately counting down until someone claiming to be a leprechaun turns up. Still... there's information. Of a sort.

She's always been half-decent at Pictionary.]

Bones... demon? No, that's a-- Oh, the bone monsters. From the city? There were bone monsters living in the mountain?

[If the Hulk could text, Pepper is inclined to muse as the text is laboriously produced for her, would it look something like this? A mental note to mention this to Tony runs aground on fresh worry and she turns her attention to more parsing.]

They bombed the mountain to kill the bone monsters and it worked.

But... now your friends are trapped? Who's trapped?

[Scratch fresh worry and exchange it for open alarm.]

That will be a relief for Kaylee, at least.

[Pepper may be worried about Tony, and the news about Indrani widens her eyes, but she can still spare a thought for what must be a very worried bride to be before schooling herself to business and crisis management.]

Has anyone been told about the trapped people yet? Do you want me to spread the news? I'm out of the country, but I already have people on this communication that could get a search party organized...

Fair point.

[And one that, while Pepper would rather not think about it, knows she really ought to. She looks grim.]

I'll pass the word along to the people back in Poseidon who responded, just in case. If the trapped people are dead, well... they're Ship people, like you and I. Someone should check the pods over the next few days.

[Pepper huffs a laugh at that question, and gives it an honest answer.]

No, I'm really not... but there's not really anything that can be done at the moment. I'm glad you told me, though.

[Be very careful asking Pepper Potts if there's anything you can do. Although the question does replace her expression of internal worry with one of a to-do list gleaming in her eyes, so he's helped that much, at least.]

I've let a few people back in Poseidon know what you've told me -- Belle, Mr. Gold, and a Lieutenant Agathon. I'm too far away to help with anything, but if they contact you, you could be a great help to them, in terms of information or just being able to be on site taking a look at anything they need a closer view of.
