HeliX joins with several human rights groups following the release of an expose on Genosha that raises questions about the status of mutants in the country and compares it to exploitation. The UN schedules a meeting to raise questions and decide whether or not a committee should be appointed to investigate these claims. On the day of the meeting, the groups plan to stage a rally out front of the Genoshan Embassy, demanding for more transparency on their mutant programs. While the mixed group of HeliX members joins the rally, they suddenly find themselves transported, naked, into a strange holding area. In seconds, they find themselves somehow depowered and placed under arrest.

[[Image: Genosha Part 2.jpg|200px|left]]With the televising of a special report on Genosha and its mutate program, including the interviews with [[Jenny Ransome]] and [[Genoshan Government| Phillip Moreau]] that were taken before [[London to Ladysmith via Pretoria|their disappearance]], human rights groups in the US reacted strongly, announcing they were holding a protest outside the Genoshan embassy. Closer to home, the Xavier's students discussed the situation and Adrienne sought permission from Charles to take a group of students to the protest as part of a field trip. He agreed, and the group - along with a number of graduates as chaperones and Garrison there as part of the FBI presence - found themselves in the middle of a far larger protest than anyone could have expected.  
  
A member of the Genoshan delegation makes his way over to the mansion, with a quick word for Xavier. They are not happy about his interference in the Ransome/Moreau incident. They know that a number of pro-mutant organizations and people are connected with the mansion, and that Xavier has political influence to help protect his school. They know that there is some connection between the school and the mysterious X-Men.

At the height of things, a bomb went off at the protest, causing the Xavier's people to cluster together against the panic. A second bomb went off, this time masking the Xaverites vanishing in a strange blue glow, unnoticed by anyone else and leaving behind their clothes, personal effects and most importantly, their phones. On comms duty that day, Kurt raised the alarm on x_team, with Marie-Ange doing the same on x_snowvalley, but no-one was able to get in touch with those who were at the rally. Panic set in, and those remaining battened down the hatches and started the head counting.  
  
Their terms are simple; if there is any interference in Genoshan affairs that emanates from the school or their allies, the students taken will never be seen again. If he cooperates, they will be slowly returned so long as they continue not to interfere. Meanwhile, in the processing centre, the students and staff are fitted for their environmental suits in preparation for the mutate process. When their powers are returned to begin, two groups are able to escape. Unfortunately, the rest do not, and several are processed immediately as a warning to the others.

Meanwhile, the kidnapped Xavierites found themselves in a concrete room, naked and facing Thomas Moreau, brother to the Genoshan President, as well as Betsy Braddock, now a Magistrate. Jean-Paul grabbed Artie and escaped, while Sooraya turned to sand and escaped into the ventilation shafts. The rest, trying to fight back, had their powers removed by a mutant called Mudd. Confused and shocked at the sudden turn of events, branded as mutant terrorists, the kidnapped mutants were herded into prison cells within [[The Citadel|the Citadel]], paired up randomly and left in cells to contemplate what happened. In the morning, the kidnapped mutants had another meeting with Minister Thomas Moreau, before several of their number were selected for the mutate process. Yvette, Callie, Laurie, Sarah V. and Amara were all made into mutates while Fred, Matt, and Megan went through the process as well. Something went wrong, however and they escaped with their powers returned, although sealed into the mutate skinsuits.

Genosha Part 2.jpg

With the televising of a special report on Genosha and its mutate program, including the interviews with Jenny Ransome and Phillip Moreau that were taken before their disappearance, human rights groups in the US reacted strongly, announcing they were holding a protest outside the Genoshan embassy. Closer to home, the Xavier's students discussed the situation and Adrienne sought permission from Charles to take a group of students to the protest as part of a field trip. He agreed, and the group - along with a number of graduates as chaperones and Garrison there as part of the FBI presence - found themselves in the middle of a far larger protest than anyone could have expected.
