The X-Men tangle with the local militia when they attempt to investigate rumors of mutant babies being born in the small African village of Karere. Beast begins his examination of the children who appear to have grotesque mutations. He also notes that the area has very high radiation levels. Things get tense when the cybernetic dictator of the country arrives and tells the X-Men to clear out because the babies aren't mutants, they're Warpies and he plans on killing them all.
