Description
Having been captured by Conscience and the Servitors, Cyclops, Callisto and Moira MacTaggert are taken to Master Mold’s orbital station. Learning that the giant robot is behind all this, Scott becomes angry and tries another attack against Conscience, but his optic beam bounces off the foe’s metallic hide. Even worse, Scott’s virus infection begins to spread and, as his body weakens, his power fades. Conscience makes fun of his captives, taunting them with their past failures and explains his ideology. Mutants rely only on their powers; they lack creativity and are therefore stagnant. As such, they endanger humanity’s development, which brought fourth such fine things as art, literature and music. Once they will release the Death Spores into the atmosphere, all mutants will die. Meanwhile, down on Earth, Mary Campbells’s younger brother, as well as the nurse who treated Mary, both fall ill too. Evidently, the Retribution Virus mutated, now targeting baseline humans as well. Hearing this, Moira feels even more guilty than before, while Conscience curses, as this means they’ll have to stop their plans. Yet, when he informs Master Mold about it, the robot disagrees. Mutants need to be exterminated at any cost and, according to its calculation, all mutants will die but only 92.4% of baseline humanity. The survivors could take humanity to new levels.
