So.

If we have to start throwing in our lot with unlikely allies, could we at least try and pick ones who aren't gleefully trigger-happy? Especially if we have civilians along? I haven't seen a woman that eager to get her gun off since Dom was fifteen years old. Admittedly, giving people the wrong impression about what the X-Men do isn't going to matter if the guy with the bag on his head does blow up the world, but it's the principle of the thing.

Mission not accomplished, in any case. There wasn't much more we could have done - we were lucky to get everyone out of there as it was.

Yeah, Crystal already thinks we're nuts, way to make it worse with the crazy Russian chick who wouldn't quit shooting unarmed people.

I don't like people I can't trust to stay on the same page as the team in the middle of critical operations.

Especially when we explictly tell them NOT to shoot people!

On top of the unnecessarily dead people, it was a distraction we didn't need.

I don't know, it's a scale really, with a perfect mission at one end and a total pooch screw at the other, and we were right about in the middle.

Yeah, we're not all buried in the Marinas Trench

I would say any mission where we don't achieve the objective is closer to the latter than the former. That's not to say I'm not deliriously glad I didn't have to bring anyone back in bodybags. That's so 2005.

No, we left them there. Three miles underwater, in the darkest place on earth. I suppose that's how you start to put it out of your mind.

Way to go, us.

That, or remembering that there's still a man with a bag on his head building a doomsday device.
