Something of an odd request.

x_teamI have just received a letter from someone claiming to be a student of a man with whom I studied many years ago, while I was still mastering my abilities. Zz'ria was his name, and he was the abbot of a small monastery in Switzerland, devoted to a philosophy similar to Buddhism, that taught enlightenment through physical and spiritual discipline.
His student, named Kylun, says in his letter that Zz'ria and all the other monks are dead, but that his teacher told him to write to me for help in extremis. Cerebro confirms that only one presence, a mutant, is detectable at the site of the monastery, although I was unable to discern any further detail.
From the tone of his letter, Kylun seems desperate, bewildered, and grieving, and a mountaintop in Switzerland is no place to endure such pain alone. I intend to take the Blackbird to investigate his story; Scott, on the chance that the situation is not as simple as first appearances would have it, I would like you to assemble a team of X-Men to accompany me. I anticipate no trouble, but it is always best to prepare for the worst.
I would like to leave in good time to arrive in Switzerland at a reasonable hour.
