He knew exactly what island Max was referring to. The island had more of been a base for the Brotherhood when he was younger, but eventually they moved along, as usual. They basically abandoned the island when it started to become apparent that it was at risk of discovery. Actually it had served as their base for a long time especially when in comparison to some of their other bases. [color=AC42B2]"The island was abandoned years ago, there likely wouldn't be any sort of back up to those plans there. The idea of the asteroid wasn't fully created until only a few years ago, by then the base had already been deserted,"[/color] Miranda responded to Max rather calmly. Erik had only ever really had one island that had served as a base, aside from Genosha itself of course, so she knew what it was that he was referring to. [color=yellow]"So we know what sort of thing we're looking for, an asteroid within Earth's orbit. It sounds like Magneto likely would have a way to protect it from scanners and sensors, otherwise it'd be pretty well known... And those pods seemed fairly short ranged, so the asteroid while in Earth's orbit, likely isn't all the way to the outer edge of that orbit because of the pods... So we wouldn't have to go very far... Plus the Blackbird can travel pretty quickly, it wouldn't be too difficult... Probably anyway. And if we get up there, trying to find it might not be too difficult..."[/color] [color=7ea7d8]"So, we've got essentially the secondary Genosha and all, except this time it's in space, and then we've got the fact that they basically were attacking us... I actually agree with her,"[/color] Pietro said, nodding his head towards Jaclyn, [color=7ea7d8]"As to maybe the reason why everything is going on. Especially since the Brotherhood guys, with the exception of a few of them, namely Exodus who was straight going for murder or something, were mainly just trying to focus on beating us, so maybe it was also as a way to stop us from potentially going there? I don't know, but I'd think if there was meant to be this weird contest thing and I didn't want to deal with a certain group, I'd try to send some of the stronger members to potentially prevent that group from going. Especially if there was a chance of those sort of fights to get there of happening by accident. And if there were others I'd want there, I'd send the weaker ones to go against them. But that's just me."[/color] [color=7ea7d8][i]Guina this is weird the fact that I'm basically able to get into the heads of the Brotherhood group. It is really weird. But also based on that sort of idea they really didn't want me anywhere near that asteroid considering Exodus straight up was trying to kill me over it...[/i][/color] he then added mentally to Guin. [color=yellow]"That is a bit of an idea of how things went, but who fully knows the motivations. The only one who probably knows all of that is Magneto, and he's on that asteroid."[/color] [color=AC42B2]"Be prepared when trying to approach it though, since Erik likely would have created more defense systems for the asteroid. Based on what happened to Genosha, he likely would do whatever it took to ensure that no outsiders could easily reach it or get there to cause issues. That likely would be harder then finding it. Getting there without getting blasted out of the sky or something like that."[/color] [color=yellow]"Basically we need to be careful no matter what we end up deciding to do..."[/color] [h3]Elsewhere (somewhere in space)[/h3] Even though he didn't recognize most of the group there, he was glad to at least see a few members that he had met. Since only three people actually knew him and had at least vaguely met him before, he thought it might be a smart idea to introduce himself to the others, considering the fact that they were all stuck in this situation together. [color=639A5E]"For the half of you who don't know me, my name is Frederick Flynn, though usually I tend to just go by my last name, that being Flynn. I also tend to set things on fire... But I'm still not exactly the best at it, getting better over time, but well, it's interesting to say the least."[/color] He wasn't entirely sure what it was that the guy who said he was a healer, and something struck him a bit with the way the guy spoke. It actually reminded him a bit of someone else he knew who was from Wales. [color=639A5E]"Uh, yeah sure, if you want go ahead, I will not hide the fact I understand basically nothing about magic, but sure a hair or whatever,"[/color] he said, before he handed one to Ed, [color=639A5E]"If you don't mind me asking, are you from Wales or somewhere around there or something? I just used to work with someone else who was from that sort of area, accent, the way you talk and all kind of stands out a little bit..."[/color] he figured that it might seem like a bit of an odd question, but he figured it might at least distract slightly from the fact that they were fully expecting a fight, so he was trying to make some conversation. [color=007236]"Waiting around for something, yeah doesn't sound like the best idea to me, hence let's get going... It might be quicker to explore by splitting up, however considering the fact that we're in an unknown place... Well that likely would not be the best thing. Here's the thing though... If we were going to get attacked or something, well that's the thing... They had no reason to just let us wake up here. If they wanted us dead they could have just sent us out to go die in space... So why are we here..."[/color] this wasn't entirely a straight forward scenario. Exploring made the most sense, but the whole situation of what seemingly was going on was just... Strange. [color=8493ca]"I mean if they wanted us dead they could have used those pod things to just shoot us off into the sun or something, and based on what we're seeing right now, I'm not entirely sure that this is meant to be more fighting or anything like that..."[/color] Mary started heading off towards the left out in the hallway, figuring to keep moving around to try and figure out what was going on, and to maybe see if they could find anyone. The hallway seemed to stretch out for a while, however, they'd eventually curve around somewhat down the pathway, and come across a window that allowed for a view outside. The group would definitely see that they seemed to be on an asteroid as first thought, though it was what appeared to be a full sized station of sorts on its surface. They'd be able to see out into the rest of space, and at least on the part of the station they were currently on, it didn't seem like there was a view of where Earth was. It certainly made it a little easier to figure out more about where they were. But there was the whole fact that the station they were on seemed really big. [color=8493ca]"...Huh, well this had to have been getting built for a long time. This whole station with that size, not to mention creating artificial gravity, or finding a place with natural gravity, and a full life support system? This place had to have been built over a long time. Makes you wonder more about this place,"[/color] Mira commented. That was when Guin's message eventually reached Mary, though still sounding like it was through a badly tuned radio. She turned towards the others, [color=007236]"It isn't a tournament of fighting or anything. Apparently this was meant to be a second sort of Genosha thing. Why we ended up getting dragged here, I have no idea still..."[/color] she responded to everyone else now. Further along the walkway, there was the sound of footsteps and a few voices that seemed to be heading their way.
