(Binary just nods slightly in response to the mental message, then he addresses ECKS)
Binary: I found where they are coming from, and a lot of who they are....but I don't know WHY they're doing this.....anyway, they are based out of some unnamed base in Alaska......there are about 150-200 Green Berets,SEALS,and Force Reacons on detached duty there.....and they are paying wages for about 500 staff , maintenance, and medical positions. Their code-name is "Decommisioning"...........and the really fun part is, they are scanning the web for any mention of a 'Magneto', 'Wolverine', you, and someone named Starr. Also.......they have a special 'No Questions Asked' delivery service from the nearest Air Force Base......including some VERY high-tech RADAR test-beds. That's all I got for now.......umm, I am kinda tired though...is there a couch I can use?
(He waits for ECKS's response as he feels his eyes begin to close on their own)

(Liz catches Joseph right before he hits the ground. She continues to communicate softly to him telepathically.)
Liz: Joseph... Joseph are you ok?

(Binary is just barely concious enough to tell that it's Liz who caught him....he very weakly manages to sit upright)
Binary: Yeah...I'm fine....I've just been running solid for about 36 straight hours.............so, about that couch?
(At this point Varalf steps forward out of the corner he was meditating in)
Varalf: I'll do you one better, tovarich, how about a nice, quiet room?
Binary:A room!? oh,thatwould definantly be enough... but I don't want to inconvienence anyone
Varalf: Nonsense...it is my room, you may use it for the night
(Varalf turns, bows to ECKS, then Bows to Liz,helps Binary up, and escorts him up the stairs to Varalf's room)

(ECKS is still a little in shock. Hearing that these soldiers are after him, Magneto, Wolverine and even his own fiance, Starr, has caught him a little off guard. He turns to Liz and struggles to find the words.)
ECKS: "They're after us, me and Ana. Along with Wolverine and Magneto, we need to get word out to the other mansion that they need to be on alert. Lucky for us only a select few people know the location of this mansion, but if they found Magneto all the way in Antarctica it'll only be a matter of time before they find this place, too."
ECKS: "But if they're not from Weapon X what could they possibly want from us? They even called us by name, which means they know us somehow. This doesn't make any sense."
(He trails off and eventually goes quiet again.)

(Liz steps behind ECKS very carefully and gently wraps her arms around his shoulders in a hug.)
Liz: You are an amazing leader Chris. You have lead zis team through more zan anyvone could. Ve vill stand behind you no matter vhat. Kevin's gift ist very useful at zis time. Do not vorry. Ve vill face zis head on like ve have done for every ozer problem zat has been hurled at us.
(She steps away from his back and goes to his front to look into his eyes and she smiles softly as she waits for his response.)

. . .
ECKS: "You're right. Thanks, I needed that. I think we should call Kitty and Ana, we need to let them know what's going on. Especially Ana. We know for sure that they'll be coming for her and it would be best to have her here at the mansion in case they come for us. At least here we have a chance to defend ourselves."
(He stops for a minute to think over his next move.)
ECKS: "Once they arrive we need to get everyone into the briefing room. We need to let everyone know what's goin' on. Just because there are only a few names on the list Binary found doesn't mean we're not all in danger. Seems to me these soldiers will do anything to reach their goal, whatever that is. I'm gonna call the other mansion, they need to be on alert, too. Let me know when everyone gets here, ok, Liz?"
(ECKS grabs the phone, presses the button labeled "SC" for secure line, so the call can't be traced back to their mansion, then awaits an answer. Someone on the other side answers and he starts to relay everything he knows about the current situation.)

(Liz nods her dark head, closes her eyes, and sends a telepathic message to Kitty and Ana at the lake.)
Liz: Kitty! Ana! Es ist imparative zat you both get to ze mansion at vonce. As soon as you get here, proceed straight to ze Briefing Room.
(As soon as that message was sent, she send another to everyone else in the mansion.)
Liz: Attention please! Every member of Generation NeXt please report to ze Briefing room in one hour!

(Varalf walks into the briefing room and bows to ECKS, then Liz.)
Varalf: What is the matter, Moj Tovarischi? Are we telling the others about the soldiers?

(Liz returns Varalf's bow with a nod of her head.)
Liz: Ja. Ve are. Let us head down.
(She heads over to the Elevator consealed behind the book case and goes down to the lower levels.)
