Victor Creed drummed his claws on his forearms as he waited for the briefing to begin. Tabitha Pryde, also called Ghostsabre and newly added to this team, though a familiar face within the Exiles homebase scowled at him. She looked at the others that had been assembled. " Sorry I haven't had much time to get to know you first, but this mission is critical. There's been a SHIELD helicarrier that has been crashed and Timebroker claims that several key heroes from that dimension are in jeprody if we don't intervene. For whatever reason, we can't just stop the crash for some reason." she paused for a moment.
" And?" Sabertooth asked, catching there was more to it.
" I have a personal stake. The woman who will become my mother is aboard that carrier." Tabitha looked at the others. " I'll admit it, I'm new to this leader game and didn't really want it, but a Tallus got dumped in my hands as soon as we found out Shadowcat was on board. So I'm gonna need input from each of you to keep me from screwing up." she pointed at Sabertooth," Except you, furball."
" Whatever you say, Tabbycat." Creed smirked, causing Tabitha to grit her teeth at the pet name she did not care for.

Henry glanced up at Ghostsabre from his portable laptop pc, empathizing with her being as new to the group as he was and also thrust into a leadership role "want me to incorporate Nair into his next flea dip? I had planned to do it anyway next time he referred to me a "Pympdaddy". closing his notebook computer "but seriously, there's not much we can even speculate on without some intel or logistics. what do we have to go on? a location even?"

Tabitha smiled slightly. " I don't think we have to go that far yet. Details are a little sketchy, but we know the helicarrier went down on the tundra in Canada, in the middle of nowheres, and they couldn't have picked a more remote location. Whoever hit it worked fast, or SHIELD's defenses should have repelled an attack, so I'm guessing the attackers had people in place already. The hardest part will be sneaking aboard once we get there. I've got an insertion point set just out of visual sight thanks to the depression made by the impact. It looks like it was AIM behind the attack, but from which dimension we don't know."

Gabrielle listens quietly as Tabitha explains the situation and answers Henry's questions. "If possible it would be nice to know what kind of numbers we're looking to go up against, if any."

" Sorry Gaby, but we don't know how many are involved." Tabitha replied, sounding frustrated," I don't know if they even had a chance to fight back."

"now let's not have any of that" Henry encouraged "temporal dynamics and mechanics aren't my forte, but I'm going out on a limb to speculate your mother is still alive, considering your still sitting here with us"

" That wasn't what I meant, Henry." Tabitha replied, forcing a smile, but thanks."
Sabertooth turned as he sniffed the air," About time you got here. You almost missed the party." He turned to looked at Blink approaching with a smirk.

"Mister Creed, I would be a sloppy X-man if I didn't keep up. I searched a long time to find you after Apocalypse was defeated,I'm not about to lose you again." she smiles back him, "Did I miss much?" she took a seat beside Sabertooth glancing around the table.
Blink mostly kept events pertaining to this 'Age of Apocalypse' to herself, as Sabertooth likely told them already. After the fall of Apocalypse humanity was safe and restructuring when she left to find 'Mr. Creed'. That was all she spoke of that place.
What she didn't say, that it was against Magneto's orders when she went searching. Blink wanted tell Creed that when it was appropriate. That moment hadn't yet arrived. Oddly enough she still called herself an X-man despite being away from her earth.

Henry winced realizing his faux pas "ooh ... awkward, sorry about that." he quickly tried redirecting the subject "so, er, AIM? did that come from the Tallus? can't say I'm up to speed on current events. what has it told us?" Henry nods in greeting to their late arrival, Blink.

"So the magic 8-ball has been quiet." She nods back grinning momentarily recalling Creed call him "Pympdaddy." Restraining the urge to ask where Pym left his hat and fur coat she continued.
"I can just port us there and we deal with it when we arrive," She shrugs "That's how it usually works..." showing a typical 'impulsive' strategy she seemed to favor.

" I didn't even know AIM had dimensional jumping abilities until this. For that matter, we don't even know with dimension this AIM is from." Tabitha replied, not bothering to hide her frustration," For that matter, no one can explain to me why we can't just show up on the carrier before it crashed and prevent the whole thing from happening. either AIM has figured out how to block us somehow, or something screwy is going on here, which I wouldn't put past Hyperion or Holocaust being involved. Either way, we better watch our backs for now."

"How do you guys sleep here?" Cal asks with a yawn walking into the room, a bandanna around her sleep mused hair; obviously used to keep the constant light dulled down so she could sleep. "It's so bright in here." She takes a seat where ever she can and listens to the others. "Um... what's AIM?" she asks after a few moments. Cal looks around confused noting the concerned faces. "Well... um... if we can't teleport to right before it... couldn't we you know... port someone in like MONTHS before and do recon?" she asks. "Or is that a stupid plan?"

" I've been on one of those carriers before. They're bustling with people usually." Tabitha replied. " We could recon it if we have to, but I think we're losing time."
" Tabbycat, we use time." Creed grinned.
" You know what I mean, Victor." Tab sneered. " I doubt they will be expecting a rescue party to come in from the north, so I think that would be our best bet. Blink, then it's up to you to get us on board. Cal can copy Creed and they can sniff out where the others are. Henry can help there if need be, and can handle if we need to get into the computers, right? Gaby, you and I stay loose in case there's trouble and watch everyones back. If need be, I can sneak off and do some recon. " she looked around at the others," Look, I'm not used to making plans, so I need your input."
Creed looked a Mimic " AIM is what happens when scientist think they can run an army to take over the world."

Cal had an Ah look upon her face. "Does it normally work?" she asked. "It would make sense that with super science it would..." she looks to Tabitha and nods. "Sure; I can take do tracking, I'm not going to have much finesse with it though but I'll do it."

" Just you that copycat mumbojumbo you do on me, kid." Sabertooth grinned. " Your sniffer will do the rest."
