After merging with the Panoptichron, Sage had to admit that she did feel like a newborn taking its first steps. After all, she had evolved from being a simple mutant into something that even she couldn't identify. She didn't regret her choice, as it prevented the multiverse from deteriorating any further than it had while quieting the voices that Merlin had put in there to torment her because of the knowledge she gained from Roma. Now, she had to relearn what she was capable of even though that in terms of her personality, she was still Sage.
As such, despite the new power she had, her perceptions were still human in nature, plus she was still getting used to her new state of being. That was probably the main reason she was now waking up after being knocked unconscious. Sage slowly stood up and looked around at the teleportation chamber which was damaged but seemed to still be functioning thankfully and could be repaired with her skill anyway. Her computer-like mind 'rebooted' as she remembered what had occurred….
The Exiles (Sabretooth, Mystiq, Valeria Richards, Morph, and her fellow X-Man from her own Earth Psylocke) had gathered on the platform ready to teleport to another Earth for their next mission. However, as they start to shimmer away, a 'tear', for lack of a better word, in space appeared and two female arms appeared and grabbed Psylocke. Before Sage or the other Exiles could react, there was a bright flash of light and Sage was thrown against the wall and knocked out.
Sage's cybershades quickly disappeared from the floor which they laid to back in their usual position on her face as she interfaced with the Palace's computer through them. Even though she could simply interface with it with just a thought in her new form, she still preferred the methods she was used to as it was familiar plus she still didn't know all she could do now. She scanned all the Earths in the database, looking for any sign of her teammates, as this wasn't the first time they had been scattered to different Earths.
*There's Elizabeth..* She thought with a very slight smile of relief as she found her teammate on Earth 616, the Earth both of the women called home. However, her lifesigns seemed…muted in some way that even she couldn't pull her back to the Palace. *I guess I'll have to leave it to our X-Men to find and rescue her…* she continued as she moved towards the main computer interface. A small part of her wanted to go and save her and the rest of the Exiles, but she knew logically she couldn't waste time thinking about it. Merging with the palace did stop the current destabilization of the multiverse, but there were still Earths in peril that needed to be fixed.
The computer flared to life as images of many people who were familiar, yet not to Sage flashed through her goggles. She hoped to find her teammates somehow, but knew what was the more important priority and that was to reform the Exiles once again….
