We would like take a moment to update everyone on what has been happening at Stark Industries. Normally this would be done via normal media outlets, but considering the circumstances this is the best we can manage.

Stark Industries is currently under quarantine orders along with the rest of Orange County. Luckily the majority of employees were at home or seeking medical assistance when the quarantine orders came through so only essential personnel are still within the building.

Stark Labs are working on finding a cure around the clock. We've been in contact with the CDC throughout this entire process and currently have a representative working alongside our staff to crack this thing. Currently the CDC believes that what they are calling the Blue Shadow Virus ~~is an alien~~ ~~will run it's course~~ is something they will be able to cure. We've already had several breakthroughs at both the Stark Labs and at our sister labs throughout Orange County that we've been working closely with.

We ask for your continued patience and as a token of our gratitude and sincerest apologies we have started up a relief fund with an initial donation of $1M. Money from the relief fund will go to families who have been effected by this recent outbreak, to providing inhalers for those who cannot afford them and to continued research into the phenomenons in and around Orange County. For those of you who wish to donate to the relief fund please contact Pepper Potts directly at Stark Industries.

Thank you.

	My company is producing inhalers around the clock. We're working on a more potent formula to hopefully ease the stronger symptoms. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pep 2013-01-13 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	That's great news. Would a monetary donation to your company help at all? The relief fund has been set up for just this sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prince_snape 2013-01-13 03:18 pm UTC (link)
	Honestly, it's more a challenge of finding the people to do the actual assembly. We do our manufacturing locally, and half of our work force is out with the bug. If you have any available workers at Stark who aren't actively searching for a cure, we could use the manpower. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pep 2013-01-13 03:22 pm UTC (link)
	I think what this calls for is volunteers. I'll get together with the CDC and my contacts at CHOC to put together a team of volunteers to send to you. How many people do you need? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prince_snape 2013-01-13 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	If we have another fifteen capable workers, we can continue the manufacturing around the clock. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tell me we can afford more than a million right now. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Tony pep 2013-01-13 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	A million is more than enough to start a relief fund. If funds get low we can always make another donation, but let's not overdo it. We don't know the extent of the damage yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pepper exitthedonut 2013-01-13 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	I just know a lot of people aren't working right now. Because they're saying so on the network but also logic. We've gotta try and help them, Pep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know how much money I have? Just the people who were hospitalized or quarantined. And maybe only half rent. I'd feel like garbage if I didn't do something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As a member of local government, I feel it's my duty to give a donation as well. I do hope it's tax deductible, however. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Of course. All donations come with a receipt that can be used at tax time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd like to donate as well. I've been very lucky lately and the community here has been very supportive when I've needed it. I'm volunteering at the hospital, but there's only so much I can do. I wish we had a fully-dreamed up telepath around. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's very kind of you, Thor. Thank you. What on Earth would we need a telepath for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stark/Potts thepowerofthor 2013-01-14 05:26 am UTC (link)
	My dream self spent a lot of time in class learning the science, medicine and wherewithall of Asgard, and then forgot it, in his upper mind. A telepath would be able to dig that out. And I know that the Asgardians almost never got or stayed sick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Stark/Potts pep 2013-01-15 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Thor, that's an amazing idea. You might not even need a telepath for that. Why not try a traditional hypnotist? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
