"You say Lewis failed at his mission?"

"Y-yes sir. Mutant 777 took care of almost the entire group. Only one person survived, Foster, and that's because he took a wrong turn and caught up with the rest of them right after the carnage began."

"And why did Foster not try to detain the girl?"

"Sir, the girl's power is far greater than any of the group suspected. She destroyed the cars and motorcycles, and the men standing around her were incinerated. Foster did not think it would be prudent for him to--"

"PRUDENT? Who does Foster think he is? I'll tell him what's prudent or not."

"Yes sir."

"And the girl escaped?"

"Yes sir."

"Where did she go?"

"We believe she returned to Xavier's school, sir. That is the only place we could imagining her returning to."

"What is the damage toll done to the hideaway in the Catskills...their 'Bungalow'?"

"We captured six younger children whom we have detained before. Also, we captured three new children that all show signs of mutations. One boy was killed because he was using his powers to harm the troops."

"Does Mutant 777 know this?"

"Not all of it sir, not yet. We believe she knows of the boy that was killed, but not of the missing children."

"Of course...She will not be scared for long. According to our records, she bounces back quickly from severe trauma, and she will retaliate if she gets the chance."

"What are our new orders, sir?"

"Study how the mutant children we detained before react to being here once again. And keep an eye on 777's friend, the mutant we just discovered. See if he can be used in anyway to get at her. Continue surveillance of Mutant 315 as well."

"Yes sir, Sergeant Trense."

"Make sure that this girl does not get the upper hand again. The Department of Defense does not like to be kept waiting on research."
