[Nate sounds exhausted, drained of all emotion when he speaks]
I've walked a future destroyed to try and kill a single girl. Australia was nuked. South America was burned to completely to ash. In Europe, most of the key water supplies were poisoned. The resulting riots and wars took care of most of the rest of the population. Africa and Asia, bioweapons and chemical agents. Many of the people left in North America were... converted. Humanoid cockroach. The self-declared President of America bled green. An attempt to destroy them wiped out most of the rest of the human population as well
To my knowledge, that future no longer exists. Reset, by stopping the man who perpetuated the atrocities - I hope. Only three people remember it - the three who lived it and came back to the past - or the present, to the perspective of everyone I knew.
[There's a long silence - that hadn't really been meant as an argument either way. Just. Food for thought. When he finally speaks again, he sounds marginally more himself.]
I've got a harddrive from the UE compound - almost certainly heavily encrypted, and without proper hook-ups. And some samples of animal blood from the Outlands for toxin and DNA testing. Anyone have the resources to handle them?
And for those who knew him, Charles Xavier [there's a pause because no he is not going to let his voice crack in a public post] is no longer in Exsilium. He has an important future ahead of him, in his world, and... I'm glad he's not here to see this. [Because he knows Charles and he knows this would have crushed the young man's idealism, totally and completely]

Yeah - he's not on the island, and he wasn't in the UE with the rest of us. And his name is gone from the network.
It's probably for the best, though.

Oh? Why's that? [He actually sounds genuinely curious and not simply patronizing]

Those are good reasons, I think. I knew... a different Charles Xavier than the one you've met, but by and large the same man. He taught me a great deal, and helped me fit in with a different era than the one I'd grown up in.

If his world is anything like mine - yes, he has a good life waiting. Not always an easy one, but a good one. And an important one, too.

I'm Feferi, by the way. Thanks for letting us know.

Nathan Summers. And you're welcome - I wasn't sure who he'd met here, so a general announcement seemed best.
