Summary

  Nate stows away (on Swiss ships?), sails, and climbs the cliffs to Muir to get a physical form Moira.

  Previously he had psychically projected his image to talk to Parker, who lectures him on the impropriety of such a stunt, then suggests he consult the X-Men about his medical condition, or at least Moira.

  So he spies around Muir, hiding himself from everyone's perceptions. But Moira has a helmet with shields, and she points a big gun at him. He gets her to call Forge, in Virginia, but Cooper reports X-Factor are all dead (Nate knows that's false, see X-Factor 132).

  Moira is amazed that he created a living being, notices his binge eating, and sees his TK is dormant. Then she starts shooting, chasing him through the lab. Just a test, to see if his TK would reflexively kick back in. She says his mind is just suppressing, to save itself.

  Dark Beast sends Havok to Muir to recruit him to their Brotherhood.
