Computer Expert

"Are you sure you haven't been able to get through to anybody?" Xavier asked Ororo.

"They all put me on hold," She sighed as she hung up the phone.

"This is not going the way I wanted to," Xavier sighed. "This was supposed to be an opportunity for the students to see that mutants can be more than just soldiers. It wasn't supposed to turn into 'GI Joe Day'!"

"Calm down Chuck," Logan said. "It ain't your fault they're the only ones who showed up!"

"Well they're in with Mainframe now," Ororo sighed. "Okay Psyche-Out may not have been the perfect choice to start off with but Mainframe does seem to be a bit more stable."

"I hope so," Xavier said as they wheeled their way to the computer room. "They've been in there for about an hour and there haven't been any explosions."

"All right!" Lance's voice could be heard. "Blast that sucker!"

"You were saying?" Logan asked as they went inside. "What the…"

All the students were surrounding a huge computer monitor. It looked like something out of Space Invaders. Kitty was at the controls. "Come on you Cobra Geeks," She said as she blasted some kind of device. "Eat lasers!"

"Man Kitty you are so good at this!" Lance said excitedly.

"Video games," Ororo moaned. "No wonder the room is still intact."

"You spent all this time playing computer war games?" Xavier asked.

"Uh…it's not exactly a game," Mainframe said.

"It's a computer simulation," Scott said. "I mean check out these graphics! It looks so real!"

"It is real you moron," Althea said.

"What?" Xavier asked.

"This is going on right now," Pietro pointed. "Cobra's sending some of their robot troops to destroy one of our military satellites. We're defending it. Actually Kitty is defending it."

"Are you telling me this is going on for real?" Kitty yelped.

"Yeah," Pietro said sarcastically.

"Mainframe…" Xavier growled.

"I thought this would be a perfect field test," Mainframe shrugged.

"Field test!" Kitty hit the control panel hard. Several lights and buttons flashed. Then the camera went dead. "Oops!"

"What happened?" Logan asked as he looked at the screen.

"I think Kitty blew up our own satellite," Althea groaned. "Way to go Pryde!"

"Okay boys and girls that is what we call an Oopsie," Mainframe said. "Actually there's another name for that but you'll learn it when you get older."

"Storm, try those agencies again," Xavier groaned. "Please!"
