[Emma doesn't advertise the fact, but she's pretty good with electronics. Which means she knows to dial back the resolution and select a highly redundant compression algorithm when she decides to make a video post over the currently-unreliable network.

So there's Emma, grainy and with some fuzzing around the edges, as unimpressed as ever, hair pulled up into a messy knot that somehow seems like she meant it to look like that.]

There are ground troops looking for the catacombs.

[How does she know that? Telepathy. Clever deduction. ]

Unfortunately, the surface is...inhospitable. If you don't need to breathe, or can otherwise shrug off a gas attack, I want to take a group up and see what we can do about thinning that herd, and perhaps getting a few answers.

[If you don't already know that Emma can turn into diamond, she looks ludicrously unqualified for what she's proposing, but her bearing shows no uncertainty at all.]

...Stark, that means you.

Don't tell me you haven't got armor.

[You're the goddamn Iron Man.]

Did I say that? I didn't say that at all. Of course I've got armor. I was just saying, you know, it's not nice to exclude me from aerobic organisms.

[There's a brief delay while Emma does some quick video editing, then sends a clip of herself saying "...or can otherwise shrug off a gas attack."]

[fe_male]

[ Yeah, gas isn't like, normally a thing that breathing things can -- whatever ]

Are you gonna tell me where you want to meet or just send me videos?

[She is giving him A Look. If the armor can't filter his air supply, he's doing it wrong.]

At [location somewhere idk].

[ Hey he doesn't have an actual workshop or anything here, he made his armor out of spare parts from wherever he could find them - he's a genius, not a Jesus.

I'm glad to see you do specifics the same way I do. ] Awesome. That'll work. Race you there.

[Emma doesn't care about his excuses.]

Mm-hmm.
