[Erik isn't in talking to any of you. Not verbally, at least. So he resorts to text, at one of the terminals.

Normally, he wouldn't contact anyone, at all.

But he's noticed that the population of the Tower has suddenly gone down--people missing. Things gone.

This includes one Charles Xavier.]

I assume most of you are astute to notice some people are gone.

Does anyone know exactly when they disappeared?

Or if anyone saw them leave.

[He's attempting to gather information. He needs to know that they are actually back home, and not taken out for some other sort of experiment. He wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter, though for Charles's sake, he hopes it's the former.]

But that doesn't line up. They obviously want to keep us here - that's why they told us our worlds were destroyed, so we wouldn't try to find a way home. They're ruining their own story by saying they sent people back.

I know I'm new, but that seems pretty fishy to me.

You haven't been here long enough--but that strange voice--I don't think it's the other two who have spoken to us.

There seems to be more than just one force at work, here.

Dissent within the enemy ranks? Huh.

Might be easier if we could speak to them consistently. Someone mentioned there was someone stuck in the computer network or something?

I have no idea. Charles spoke with them once, but that's the extent of my knowledge.

That's your friend that's missing? I'll have to ask him when he shows up again.

Have people disappeared before?

[token_vengeance]

Right.

...not that I've noticed.

But I've been distracted.

It happens.

Let me know if you need me for anything? I'll tell you if I find something.

[token_vengeance]

Of course.

And it goes the same way. We need to stick together.

Exactly. I'll be happy to work with you, Erik.
