Summary

  The team goes to Genosha (first time since the end of the New Mutants). They fight both mutates and magistrates, and meet Wisdom. He had sent one of Delphi's memory boxes to Sam, which showed himself as a boy, being saved from two battling giants.

  Wisdom has been working with ex-Black Air ops to retrieve dangerous weapons; he wants X-Force to help recover the CPU from an experimental spacecraft that crashed in Genosha. Delphi trades memories with each teammate, to prepare them. Jesse gets the knowledge of martial arts.

  Roberto is living the high life in Brazil but is bored, until he sees two thugs abducting a woman. He intervenes; they are gargoyles; she is Selene and takes care of them herself. She has an offer for him.

  Ransome alerts Quicksilver to X-Force's presence, and he demands they leave. Sam distracts him with a memory box and clobbers him. They enter the lab and find the CPU, but it activates the rest of the lab. And Magneto is alerted.
