While Cable and the rest of the team stall, Siryn & Warpath help Pulse escape by beaming his mind off the planet, then feigning ignorance while turning over his robotic shell to the Shi'ar. Just then, the Shi'ar forces arrive and demand Pulse. He explains that he was drawn to the Shi'ar technology in the Danger Room, where he combed through the databanks for similarly-cybernetic beings as he tried to remember who he was. Upon seeing a surfboard near the boathouse, Warlock transforms into Pulse, his memory restored. Eventually, X-Force manages to break free of the room, at which point "Warlock" escapes.

As Cable & Domino try to figure out what's wrong with the room, Deathbird contacts them, ordering them to help apprehend Pulse. Manifestations of Ultron, Deathlok and Warlock appear, each doing battle with X-Force.

Meanwhile, Cable & Domino are overseeing a training session of X-Force in the Danger Room when the room suddenly goes haywire.

Pulse, a cybernetic being composed of Shi'ar technology created by a rebellious faction of the Kree, flees the Shi'ar, ending up near Earth, where he covers his escape by destroying his ship.
