Darlings, a few things:

• I've chartered us a jet to Vegas, out Friday, returning Monday. Moira has been informed.
  
• We're staying at the Bellagio - I've gotten us four suites. Pick your roommate. If you're going to fight about it, do so publicly to amuse me.
  
• Who is our current favorite trusted scientist? I've extracted some liquid from my mark and think we should have someone look at it. I'm not sure if Moira is the right choice, so I figured I'd ask all of you.
  
• Once we're back from Vegas I'll update you all on my work with Charles. I want to confirm a few more things before I say anything else.

Additionally, I need some volunteers who would be open to being mind controlled by me in the Danger Room. This is simply for my own practice and nothing nefarious.

We should probably all learn how to resist telepathic control.

[Emma]
Taking a knife to your mark was a bit drastic.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Yes, I've been pondering some things in that vein.

[Scott]

Knife does make it seem extra dramatic, I just didn't want to sneak into medical to get a scalpel.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

If you need someone to test your ideas on...

[Emma]
And you didn't want to wait.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

You are my favorite guinea pig, Mr. Summers.

[Scott]

No, I didn't. [...] I want to fix this. I'm a little af And I want to do it without Cerebro if I can.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I wouldn't do this for just anyone.

[Emma]
I understand that. [...] We'll need to find an alternative to Cerebro soon.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Such a flatterer, Scott.

[Scott]

I'm hoping we can just get enough information that we won't need something like it. Or that we'll know it's safe to use. [...] Vegas will hopefully clear my mind to better look at Charles'. Find anything I might be missing.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I actually just needed to state it in case anyone else gets ideas.

[Emma]
I trust you know what you're doing with him and will share when you're ready. I just mean that while we work on this, there are still new mutants who will need help, and we need to set up other ways to find them.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

You're breaking my heart, darling.

[Scott]

That's completely fair and very valiant to think of, but I worry that anything that will get us the sort of access Cerebro does is just as likely to be a danger. I just [...] I want to at least know what caused this. Then we can have a better idea of how to proceed.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Sorry.

[Emma]
You're right. I'm just looking for things to do. The only thing I can think of is what Professor Xavier would want us to be doing while he's out of commission. If he never [...] I can wait.

Are you worried whatever this is has singled you out as a telepath?

Scott/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I'll be more attentive when I'm out and about to anyone that pings on my mutant radar. [...] And I understand wanting to look for something to do. I don't like feeling like I lack control over a situation.

Not really. I worry that I might be more susceptible in some ways, though.

Scott/Emma

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

You have enough on your plate. I shouldn't be putting this on you.

Because you passed out?

Scott/Emma

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Shush, we all have a lot on our plates. This is part of my job.

Yes. And because I worry that expanding his mental reach is what got Charles in this position. We may be better at shielding ourselves, but we're also better at opening up our minds.

I resist them naturally by making my inner self so annoying they can't stand the environment for more than a commercial break. It works great!

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

How annoying is your inner self?

[hotfrosty bobby drake ❄️ has a perfect attendance rate.]

Imagine my outer self and everything it expresses all the time and then imagine that on your fantasy club drug of choice

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

A telepath could attack you at any time. This seems like a lot to sustain.

[hotfrosty bobby drake ❄️ has a perfect attendance rate.]

Shutting up's where I fall short, this is easy-peasy!

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I guess it would be.

Let me know how well it works after Emma's taken a shot at you.

[hotfrosty bobby drake ❄️ has a perfect attendance rate.]

Oh, I'm not playing the resistance game this time. She can take the wheel and I'll hum the Star Trek theme into her ear or [...] however this is gonna work

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

[...] Okay.

Do you think you'll be able to empty your mind enough for that?

[hotfrosty bobby drake ❄️ has a perfect attendance rate.]

[...] I didn't think about that part

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

This is good. Emma needs the challenge. And you'll get to practice quietness.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Your brain is a nightmare, honestly.

[hotfrosty bobby drake ❄️ has a perfect attendance rate.]

You ALSO sound like Mrs. Wallace

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Did she love you or hate you?
