Synopsis:
Stryker explains to Jay how he escaped from Mount Haven and found a new savior in the mutant hunting robot, Nimrod. He tells the boy how Nimrod has been giving him visions about which mutants are the most dangerous to his cause so that he can kill them. Jay watches on a monitor as the Purifiers kill Stryker's next target, Dust. Stryker then shoots Jay in the head. Meanwhile, back at the mansion, the X-Men and New X-Men have another dead body on their hands as Laurie has also been shot and killed. Things get worse when Stryker and the Purifiers teleport in and Stryker zaps Sentinel Squad ONE.
