Summary

  Note: this is part of the Maximum Security crossover.

  Kurt swings through a Danger Room jungle, where Cerise pops in and kisses him. He shoves her away, explaining that he is planning to become a priest. Cerise says she's on a mission for Lilandra.

  Rogue is in Salem Center (which now has a train station), drowning her sorrows in milkshakes. She is remorseful over using Remy's power to kill the Goth (UXM 385), even though Remy said they had no choice. Rogue knows it's important for the X-Men to hold to their ideals, or they'll become the mutant monsters that people such as Kelly fear. She pushes back from the ice cream counter, and the patrons applaud her binge.

  On the train, a conductor wakes Z'Cann, who lets her appearance slip. She is a Skrull, and the Blood Brothers immediately attack her. Rogue, nearby, comes to the rescue and knocks them out, but not before they wound Z'Cann. She touches Rogue to pass on her information and uses telepathy to boost the transfer.

  Bishop is in the prisoner processing facility beyond Pluto, where he fights off the aggressive convicts.

  Kurt is nursing Cecelia, who is in withdrawal from the drug Rave. Rogue, who is now Skrull, arrives carrying Z'Cann, who is now human. The X-Men think Rogue may be a Skrull spy, so Piotr touches her and collapses, proving she has Rogue's power. Rogue is slowly recalling Z'Cann's memories and says the alien transmat ring is on Ellis Island, and they have to stop it by midnight.

  They fight the guards, whom they realize are aliens. Rogue involuntarily takes Logan's form and in the nick of time remembers that they're not supposed to destroy the ring. Rogue takes Colossus to block Neal's blast, just as Bishop comes through the transmat.
