Plot Summary
On May 9th, acting on information from Pete, Nathan takes the team to the States where they destroy two Canaanite katarkas and a number of American military personnel at a shipyard in Yuma.
On Sunday morning the 11th, Nathan gets called to London to discuss the situation. He tells Dani he fears war is upon them. On the 12th, he receives confirmation that an American carrier group is headed their way and informs the team they’ll likely be called to go with the British fleet to meet them.
On the 16th, the team departs for the naval base at Faslane. Neal, Warren, Pete and Steve are left behind to man the War Room and serve to backstop if the carrier group gets through.
The Battle of Islay between the American carrier group, the British fleet, and Excalibur takes place the afternoon of the 16th. Owing largely to Excalibur, the American fleet is largely destroyed, thousands are dead with limited casualties on the British side.
Of note: Laynia tore a ship in half. Bobby stopped a bomb in his organic ice form and shattered; he is presumed dead. In response, Nathan destroyed the Nimitz by himself; he’s glowing. The limited number of British casualties is due in not insignificant part to Clarice evacuating sailors from the sinking ships.
Meanwhile, Fabian Cortez decides it’s a great time to attack the castle. He takes a smallish team, but they do an enormous amount of damage before they are killed, stopped, otherwise go home.
Of note: Moira is critically injured in the attack. Betsy captured Anne-Marie Cortez. Dani killed Orator and captured Shakti Haddad. Illyana and Vasya drove Frenzy and Random off. Pete saved Neal’s life and together they killed Senyaka. Fantomex and Laurie saved Sarah’s life. Jamie, Miles and Nina kill Vindaloo and Mammomax teleports away.
When Excalibur returns home, it falls to Nathan to tell Dani what happened to Bobby. She, in turn, tells him that her psi-bond with Bobby isn’t gone. They don’t know what this means, but Bobby’s status is changed from dead to presumed dead. Around the castle, many grieve and Don performs surgery on Moira. Shinobi returns to the castle to support his ‘friends’.
On the 20th, Neal is sufficiently recovered that he and Nathan can interrogate Shakti. Neal plays a trump card in the form of the location of Shakti’s sister to get cooperation. Shakti provides up to the moment intel on Genoshan infrastructure. Afterward, Nathan and Alex discuss probable targets.
Unwilling to strip the castle of telepaths a second time, Nathan gathers help from unusual sources for an attack on Genosha: Betsy, Dani, Sabine and Sarah. Pyro wants to go to Genosha, but Nathan turns him down.
The team and adjuncts assemble at Glencorse for staging on the 24th. The plan is for Clarice to teleport groups in to clear civilians from an area, teleport in a different team to destroy the target, and teleport the first group away. It goes exceedingly well. Exceedingly.
Of note: Betsy’s first military sojourn goes well for her but Warren’s unhappy at playing executioner. Nur and Lorna have it so easy they can discuss ‘salad’ while they work. Laynia freaks Jess the hell out. Frank gives Nina a chemistry lesson at the desalinization plant. Sabine’s first military sojourn goes smoothly with TJ providing a quippy and able assist. Sarah provides Nathan with information from the astral plane, her back watched by Scott. Dani and Pete fake a fire at the training center by having a little fun with Frenzy; Neal and Carol play follow the leader and destroy it.
Dani clears the harbor with a huge and terrifying projection of a katarka destroying it. Alex and Mariko make Magneto’s palace go boom! And then Nathan delivers the message to Magneto and makes Cortez kill himself, with a handy assist in the helmet department from Clarice.
The team returns to Muir with no further casualties, but the cost has already been too dear.
