I just got a call from Ororo in Tanzania...

... or Wakanda, rather. They ran into some trouble - the village they were staying in last night was attacked. They seem to have wound up in the midst of some local issues arising from vibranium smuggling. Rahne was hurt - not badly, thankfully, and they got her prompt medical attention.

The situation's pretty complicated, and there are other mutants involved. Ororo's going to sound things out, see if there's anything a small team of X-Men can do, since she technically has one there with her. I'll keep you all updated - she's promised to stay in regular touch.

"Complicated" seems to be used a lot these days. All you need to do is flatten anyone who looks overtly hostile, remotely hostile, or potentially hostile, and things become a lot less "complicated".

Well, given who's there, I'm sure that if there's flattening required, they'll be able to take care of it.

I've been nearly flattened lots of times and I don't look any of those kinds of hostile at all.

Wasn't the Brotherhood trying to get its hands on Vibranium a year or so back? Are we sure they aren't tied up with this somehow? Magneto isn't one I'd prefer to just 'happen' upon.

Not clear who the shipments are going to, no. What Ororo and the others got caught up in was part of a pattern of retaliatory attacks triggered by Wakanda's efforts to put a stop to it, from the sound of things.
