After the discovery of such a concentrated, massive amount of Darkseekers, Xavier knew that no single squad could handle the situation solely. Through Cerebro, he had been pinpointing specific locations where Darkseekers were gathered so that both X-Men and government officials could administer the cure to as many individuals at a time as possible.
It had been months, and most of the New York State area was cleared of the virus. It had surprised the Professor at the sudden arrival of a new group. It was as though they were traveling toward the school itself. Perhaps they were...
He assembled a team that consisted of many of the squad leaders, and set them to the task.
After their debriefing, Cyclops and Storm readied the jet and the team was off, fully armed and prepared to take on a massive number of the infected.
Once they had arrived, Storm brought up a holographic map of the campus, then pinpointed the building that housed the Darkseekers. It was the library, a good portion of which was underground. Each X-Person was loaded down with a radiation weapon. No one had been involved with a cure mission who wasn't trusted completely by Xavier or their teammates. The radio-active weapons were far too dangerous to mutants to be put in the wrong hands. They went in rounds, as ordered, checking their headsets for functionality, as well as powering then de-powering their weapons. It was time to head inside.
The first floor of the building (labeled 'Mortola Library') was lined with windows. Cyclops located the stairwell and cautiously, the group moved downward. "Mars, Psylocke, how concentrated is the group now?" The Professor said there were nearly a hundred of them, and a group of ten could technically give the X-Men a run for their money. So it was crucial information.
"And how close are they to the entrance?" Storm added. If they were waiting at the bottom of the stairs, she was coming in shooting.
