Summary

  The X-Men find Lilandra being tortured by the Phalanx. Deathbird realizes she traded her life to protect the unborn; she and Bishop go to save the Nest.

  Kelly visit the Hulkbuster base with Gyrich, realizes it's a large military operation, and have second thoughts about its effects on society.

  Bishop and Deathbird, who has still not recovered from her wounds, stand back to back in the Nest, surrounded by Phalanx.

  Hank starts to reprogram a Shi'ar scanner to separate techno- from organic. Joseph sees the carnage on Chandilar and flashes back to the Nazi death camps. Furious, he begins attacking Phalanx, so the rest of the team backs him up. Hank gives the signal, and the Phalanx split apart, leaving nothing but mechanical and organic remains.
