[It's good to see that Aya is in one piece (although Pepper has yet to learn that she can, in fact, be in several pieces), and the background is recognizable enough. The new language, on the other hand... there's something familiar enough about it. A pattern. Hm. Computer code of some sort? If nothing else the suit's computer can do basic pattern recognition, and it might turn something up.]

Uh. One second. Er. Like, a minute.

[She puts on the armor and replays the video while the computer does an analysis. If it can handle Chinese, it can handle binary. And in short enough order, Pepper has a translation.]

So, you're speaking in binary. That's, uh. Weird. This is totally Tony's territory, let me see if I can find him...
