“Assault troops,” Shuri came up to Menat and Karma. “Come with me. Dr. Mcoy and I found something. The group returned back to the computer panel where they had started as Beast was looking through the database. “Ah, good you’re all here, I’m sure you had found those tanks with those…creatures inside, yes?”
“Yeah they’re a creepy bunch,” Iceman replied. “What did Shuri mean about assault troops?”
“That’s exactly what they are. Foot soldiers, ones that have the skills to enter Krakoa.” Beast’s words hushed the room before Mystique spoke up.
“Are you saying that those things in the tanks were once mutants?”
Beast shook his head. “Not exactly.” He began looking up something on the computer. “They aren’t mutants themselves but have been bioengineered no doubt with the help of those mutants we saved above…we just assumed this was a typical slave ring but…”
“It seemed you were all a target,” Shuri replied and Beast nodded.
“It would appear so. This is the direst news and we need to inform the rest of Krakoa about this.” Beast pinched the brow of his nose in frustration. “Considering we are dealing with quite a high tech bioengineering…it pains me to say this but I must seek out further expertise from another denizen of Krakoa when I return.” As he spoke a portal emerged a bit further in the facility. “We will have to reconvene back to Krakoa. I trust you will be able to find your way out of here? And do not worry,” He gave both Shuri and Menat an assuring smile. “We will contact you again. We are in your debt after all. If you hadn’t told us about this then well, I don’t much care to dwell on what-ifs. Keep your phone line open,” Beast quipped.
With that, the four mutants entered the portal leaving Shuri and Menat alone in the abandoned facility. “…I will inform my brother about this. Even if abandoned we cannot leave the facility as it is. The Avengers can deal with the cleanup.” She turned towards Menat and smiled. “I believe it is best for us to leave as well to Wakanda. While I do not trust them as much as I want, I am sure the X-Men will contact us when they are ready.”
