flashback 3

Wolverine

Gambit's scent is faint, but it's here. Mixed with... something else.

Wolverine

Been about three hours since he passed through.

Cyclops

His last transmission mentioned unusual Morlock activity. Not like them to gather in large numbers.

Cyclops

Storm, any insight from your time with them?

Storm

The Morlocks value secrecy and solitude. Mass gatherings would only happen for ceremonies or... threats.

Storm

Something must be disturbing their sanctuary.

Jubilee

Ugh, these tunnels are like, super creepy. No wonder they call them Morlocks.

Jubilee

Wait—did anyone else hear that?

Psylocke

I sense minds ahead. Dozens of them. Frightened, confused... and something else controlling them.

Psylocke

Jean, are you picking this up?

Jean Grey

Yes. It's like a hive mind. I've never felt the Morlocks connected this way before.

Jean Grey

I think I can locate Gambit within the collective, but—wait! Something's noticed us!

Rogue

Sweet heaven! The walls—they're alive with memories!

Rogue

Y'all, Gambit ain't missin'—he's become part of whatever's controllin' the Morlocks!
