Synopsis: The "Unit Dayspring" has been posing as human for five years, slowly making their way to the city Coastcrest on the Pacific. In Apocalypse's stronghold, the ruling mutants have gone decadent. Ch'vayre is annoyed that he failed to kill the Summers family, and the Askani teachings continue. Stryfe is refusing to study and incinerating his tutors, like any pampered young monster. Jean covers Nathan's metal parts, and they try to enter the city, but the mutant guards pick on them, and a human informs on them, saying they are Askani. Turrin arrives, a human anarchist with much influence in the city, and gets the guards to back off. He takes them into the city.
