So.

We've got a very basic sort of pick-up that needs doing in Maine today. I think it's a good opportunity for some of our less long-in-the-tooth X-Men to get some solo experience. So, Terry, I'd like you to take Forge, Kyle, and Jan - I think the four of you can probably handle 'young and possibly anxious' pretty well - and make the pick-up in the 'Bird.

And remember, quick and discreet, so no fancy acrobatics or challenging F-22s to races on the way home.

ALERT

The Blackbird's gone down. I was just heading into the Situation Room to check on their ETA when the automated crash signal came in. We've got no coms contact with the team in it.

I want everyone on standby, trainees included; I'll call down who I need when I've arranged transportation.
