[ If the first question you have when you see Lorna is "does she spend all her money at Hot Topic?" then you're asking the right questions. She's got on an asymmetrical leather jacket with metal spikes on the sleeve, black leather pants with straps that kept her collection of metal knives secure, and bright green hair from root to tip. The green theme is one she's clearly fully on board with. Accenting the bright green hair she's also got some deep green lipstick on and sparkling green nail polish. To fully tie it all together she's also wearing a metallic green headpiece. Nobody can ever say she's not coordinated. ]

Hello fellow inmates. Since I'm brand new here I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Polaris. [ Every word she speaks is practically dripping with sarcasm and she's got an equally sardonic smile to match. ] Just wanted to see how everyone was doing in our beautiful underwater prison today. [ Because that is exactly what it is. A prison. Nobody was going to convince her otherwise without some damn impressive skills. For a moment she looks like that might be all she actually has to say. Then she leans back and folds her arms over her chest. ]

Actually, I've got a question. I've been looking through these archives and looks like some of you have been here a long time. I get it, it's got some nice amenities. Love the view. But I gotta ask, how'd you all just collectively give up on trying to find a way out? [ And with that question she does, rather abruptly, end things there. ]

Our X-Men disappeared. Not sure if he ever really joined back with them or not.

[madeofmirrors]

They disappeared? Well, there's a rub. Well, from what I've heard, your counterpart fairs well enough apart from her father.

[ferrokinetically]

Both them and the Brotherhood just up and went poof.

[madeofmirrors]

I doubt that had much effect on the general populous.

[ferrokinetically]

It had a pretty big ripple effect actually.

[madeofmirrors]

I'm sure. They do enjoy finding any reason possible to hate you all.

[ferrokinetically]

Everyone's got to have a hobby.

[madeofmirrors]

True, and they did get to build big robots because of it.

[ferrokinetically]

I don't even want to know.

[madeofmirrors]

No one does. [A pause.] Did they run the Sentinel program in your world?

[ferrokinetically]

There's Sentinel Services.

[madeofmirrors]

And what is Sentinel Services?

[ferrokinetically]

Government agents trained to kill mutants. Oh, I'm sorry, I mean capture and subdue mutants.

[madeofmirrors]

Clones, cypernetic hybrids as well? That sort of thing?

[ferrokinetically]

Hounds and these machines that keep adapting.

[madeofmirrors]

Sentinel nanite technology. [It's spoken with understanding and a clear recognition.] For what it's worth, you have my sympathy. You could say I'm accutely familiar with the tech.

[ferrokinetically]

How are you familiar with it?

[madeofmirrors]

A far more advanced version comprises my primary nervous system. I am indeed living proof they rose above the banal and chose a more...personal direction.

[ferrokinetically]

That's messed up.

[madeofmirrors]

Undoubtedly. There's a reason the program is defunct.
