Brief Description:
In the wake of Binary's exit, the explosive decompression in the hangar threatens to suck the X-Men into space, until they manage to seal the hole. In the meantime, Storm, alone in her shuttle, is suffering from an ethical crisis. Should she kill the Brood embryo within her, although that goes against her beliefs, or allow it to kill her when she transforms? The decision is taken out of her hands as the transformation starts but, before it is finished, the shuttle enters the galactic core and the sudden influx of energy allows Ororo to re-establish herself. She decides on a third option and channels so much energy through herself that she destroys the embryo and the shuttle as well. She floats dying in space until she is swallowed by something big. On the Z'reee Shar, Lilandra and Wolverine decide to return to Broodworld for revenge. Reluctantly, Cyclops agrees. Later, Wolverine catches Nightcrawler praying and, after a conversation about faith or lack thereof, the two friends decide to search the ship for some alcohol. Kitty, in the meantime, is suffering from a nightmare where she becomes one with the Brood. Awakening, she is comforted by Colossus and the two reveal their true feelings to each other. Suddenly, they are joined by an astral form of Storm that looks like a vampire. All the X-Men are visited astral forms of different versions of Storm until, finally, Storm, as she is supposed to look, appears before them at the same time as the ship is swallowed by something big. Ororo explains that the creature is an Acanti - a space whale - and that she and it are now one. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Mora informs Charles about a letter from Mr Fantastic, regarding a young mutant named Karma whose powers are threatening to go out of control. Xavier refuses to get involved until Moira threatens that she may take Karma to the Hellfire Club or Magneto. Better to be taught by a villain, than to be doomed from the start. She then reminds Xavier of her son Proteus and his fate. Finally, Xavier gives in and calls Reed Richards.
