An mission to investigate Clan Akkaba went terribly wrong when the Marauders appeared, having killed the cultists for their research. The X-Men were ambushed, with varying degrees of success, but the hardest blow was struck when the "new and improved" Laurie Collins appeared, calling herself Malice and acting as their leader. She managed to fight Garrison Kane to a standstill with her augmented mutate powers, but when she tried to stop his heart with her pheromones, they somehow changed into a scent of pine. In the wake of this incident, Garrison asked Amanda Sefton for help, and when she was unable to determine what was wrong, they wrangled an appointment with the Ancient One through Abigail Brand. The news was not good - with the various curses and types of magic Garrison had been subjected to over the years, he had been severed from the natural magical order of things, and that the condition was fatal. Garrison made Amanda promise not to tell anyone except Marie-Ange that he was dying, preferring to go out as he had lived - Amanda reluctantly agreed but swore to do everything she could to find a cure.
In less traumatic news, the mansion residents participated in a WWE-style Battle Royale in the Danger Room organised by Kyle Gibney as a stress relief, and things were entertainingly crazy. Arthur Centino announced a "Trunk-or-Treat" on Halloween in District X, in which various people participated, including Pyotr Rasputin's long-lost sister Illyana Rasputin, who had was following a lead on her bloodstones and stopped to indulge in cupcakes and messing with Forge, who subsequently had visions of the Adversary and had something of a breakdown.
