February 2022

Two new faces appeared this month - Pyotr Rasputin, an artist living in District X ran into Marie-Ange Colbert after stopping a car from plowing into a pro-mutant demonstration and received an invitation to the Institute and Sarah Rushman, the daughter of a local mobster who was given refuge when her anti-mutant aunt began targeting her family. At the same time, Wanda Maximoff went on an extended mission to Germany.

The repercussions from the Olivier mission continued, but this time in a good way as Abigail Brand and Garrison Kane struck a truce in their hostilities and Brand honoured the deal they had made for the X-Men's help and Amanda Sefton was chosen as the point of contact for access to the promised SWORD intel about mutants. It was during an X-Force briefing on this new resource that Artie Maddicks made his antipathy and distrust towards humans very vocal, resulting in a conversation with Kevin Sydney and Artie taking a more analytical role instead of operational runs.

More repercussions from Laurie's defection as well, with Darcy Lewis discovering that she had limited electrokinetic abilities, about the same as her beloved taser.

Controversy arose in the Winter Olympics, with an ice skater testing positive for the X-gene and being disqualified, an action which created much discussion on the journals.
