EPILOGUE
Beast had dropped the rest of X-Factor off before attending the meeting. He had a feeling they wouldn't approve of what was it was about. He wasn't sure if he approved either.
He entered the laboratory to find Shaw examining the head of one of the destroyed Sentinels. Guyrich was standing over him. "I trust you've discharged all your duties, Doctor McCoy?"he asked with a certain amount of sarcasm.
Beast shrugged. "My time is yours, Mister Guyrich. For the moment." He turned back to the Sentinels' creator. "Have you come to any conclusions, Mister Shaw?"
Shaw sighed. "The programming needs some improvement."
"The programming was not at fault. The Sentinels were hijacked."
"But if we could make a more sophisticated Sentinel, one immune to outside influences…"
"There will always be people like Onslaught out there."
"Exactly,"Guyrich snapped. "Humanity needs defences now more than ever. Your friends in the X-Men fell under Onslaught's influence, do you see that as a reason to disband them? Of course not. The Sentinel project will continue. It must."
Beast turned to Shaw. "Is that your assessment as well?"
"It is."
Beast sighed. "Then it seems inevitable."
All opinions welcome!
