Scott was working late in his office to finish up some notes on the team competition that day and to work on some official school business. A note was being put in all dorm room mailboxes and sent to each student in their email.
Dear Team Members of the New Mutants, Hellions, Excelsiors, and Alpha Squadron:
This semester's humanitarian credits are coming close to being due in order to pass this semester. Each team in the school are going to be assigned various projects over the next week. Your humanitarian project will constitute of a good will project in Genosha.
Project Genosha is a volunteer organization that provides relief to the survivors on Genosha. All four of your teams and your advisors will be traveling to Genosha for a seven day trip to help rebuild homes that were destroyed in what is called the Astra district. Each team will have one house to work on. Your efforts will help rebuild the lives of families who lost everything.
If you have any questions, please see me.
Your flight will be leaving on next Friday. Bring one suitcase only. Also bring your team uniforms because there may still be team training due. Bring assigned homework and laptops as well because school work will not disappear.
-Scott Summers

"Emma, you know your presence is going to be needed for your team in Genosha," Scott gave her a very stern look, but he knew he wouldn't win this argument.
"Scott, I cannot and I will not leave my telepathic students hanging for a week to run off to help people who are better off leaving that island as it is. I have been doing some extensive work with the Cuckoos, and I wish to continue. Beside that point, both head masters of the school should not be gone at the same time."
Slam. She won that match. He knew it and decided to push back at her no longer. Scott picked up his own suit case from his couch, "And who is going to be your replacement?"
"Your time displayed daughter, Rachel Summers," Emma found the whole notion of Rachel Summers existing as an adult humorous.
Scott didn't mind the choice. Rachel was a capable teacher and X-Man. She would be good with the students on the trip having seen much hardship herself from her various time lines.
"Contact me immediately if trouble arises," Scott said to Emma as he left his office, "You have the keys to the castle this week."
Heading to the X-Jet hanger he hit the comm, "New Mutants, Hellions, Alpha Squadron, and Excelsior squads... be in the X-Jet hangar in thirty minutes. If Logan has to come find you, you won't be happy."
Heading down to the jet, he saw that Rachel Summers, Bobby Drake, and Logan were all awaiting and ready for the teams to board the jet. All supplies were prepared. The trip was going to be insightful and he hoped the students would get something out of it.

"I'm glad to see that everybody has joined us," Scott said into a speaker standing at the front of the jet. He and Bobby had just finished a student count and roll call to make sure nobody was missing.
"This is an important trip for us and the people in a town called Coral Bay who we will be helping," Scott started off.
"Coral Bay is a scenic area that was a popular tourist site before the Genosha attacks. We are going to help several families and build three houses while we are there this week. The next group of students who go will also have the same task. By the end of this semester, we will have finished rebuilding one street of houses," Scott hoped that meant something to somebody. They were going to help families who literally had nothing at the moment but scraps and broken homes.
"During the day, we will be doing our work on the houses with an hour lunch break and several fifteen minute breaks. We will help build structure, build roofs, paint walls, whatever the construction teams need us to do. We have brought supplies with us as well in the X-Jet to aid the workers and families. We will all be staying in a house that the relief workers have set up for volunteers. Do not expect a four star hotel. Within the first few days, myself, Logan and Bobby will have the water system up and running. Until then, if you want showered, go for a swim in the bay. Only drink from bottled water that we provide. There is a beach, so after work is done at 4pm, you can have fun.
"You do not leave our designated safe zones without permission. There can be crime in Genosha due to the state of living. You will always travel in a group of three or more and let your teacher know where you are going. Rachel Summers will be serving as Emma Frost for this trip."
"The flight is going to be at least five hours. If you haven't been on the X-Jet before, we travel slightly faster than a regular commercial jet."
"Buckle up!" Scott commanded feeling the sway of the jet as it began moving. The students all listened and he remained standing as he was used to taking off.
"Does anybody have any questions about the trip?"

Evie listened to Scott but watched her team as she sat herself. Watching Alex a few rows ahead of her, she was somewhat disappointed that he distanced himself so much. But what did she want? She couldn't make up her mind on any given day if she was angry at him or not. Still, he was always a valuable friend to her. Not to mention, when he was leader of the team, they both were valuable to each other for field ideas. Now it was just her...
Maybe that wasn't a bad thing. She could prove she knew what she was doing. Determination filled her on Genosha to do a good job and an effective job.
The five hour flight was amazing to watch. She had been on the X-Jet a few times and each time had a different scene below. This time they flew over the continent of Africa to get to the Genoshan island. One who would look closely enough could see herds of elephants running on the ground like tiny ants from the height they were at. She was particularly interested in the giraffes that had an uncanny grace to them for their height.
Five hours later as Scott said, they were on the ground. The X-Jet landed in an open field towards a small forrest of trees near Coral Bay. Around the perimeter, a group of volunteer workers who had various looks to them (being all mutants themselves) were waiting. A blue skinned male, who looked a bit like Mr. Wagner, and a pointed eared woman walked over to the group of students who were all stretching and standing outside of the cargo bay hatch.
Evelyn flipped her sunglasses down onto her nose and almost wished she wasn't wearing her baggy jeans. It was warm under the sun. But the breeze off the bay was calmingly nice. It was strange. From where they stood, Coral Bay looked like a regular beach town. Still, if one was able to take a good sniff of the air, they could still smell death on the horizon. Evelyn was able to take in all of those subtle scents. So she hid the pain in her eyes behind her glasses.
The two head workers greeted the team, "Hello, everybody! We're so glad you're here. I'm James McGrady and this is Ella Hammond. We're the lead on this project here in Coral Bay. We'll be working with you. Right now we're going to have all of you take your suit cases and come with us to the volunteers house. The rooms are limited so we're going to have to have four to a room. Once everybody gets settled in we're going to get right to work. One of the houses that you will be working on has all of the structure built; however, it needs shingles and painting on the inside. That's our first project."
The volunteers walked them over to the newly built house they were staying in. Evelyn knew that most people there weren't so fortunate. Throwing her bag on a bed, she was distracted by the view out of one of the windows of the ocean. What did they see over the horizon when the Sentinels came? Distracted, she was caught off guard when Julian tossed her other bag to her and it hit her in the stomach.
"Ufff," She said and then tossed the other bag on the bed, grabbed her sunscreen, and then punched Julian in the shoulder, "Thanks buddy."
Standing outside, she started putting sunblock on awaiting further instructions. From the front porch, it was obvious which lots they were working on. Next to their house was one completed building and then three in a row. The first was unfinished and the next two only had the base built to it. As students started coming back out of the building, James and Ella started telling them all what was going on.
"For today, you all can choose where you work. We need five people up on the roof putting on shingles. Everybody else can choose a room to paint it in pairs of two or three. Each room has the paint colors already in it and any supplies you need. Tomorrow we'll get supplies from the X-Jet for building of the second two houses. Myself, James and other team leaders will be around to give you further directions."
Evelyn had her mind made up already. She didn't want to get stuck inside painting. She wanted to sit on the roof and shingle. She wanted to take in the world that was Genosha from that roof top. Raising her hand, she yelled, "I'll put on shingles."

After postings by several mutants (not Xavier Students) about their mysterious abductions, the Sugar Man makes his appearance. Sent by an unknown master to Genosha six months ago, Sugar Man kidnaps mutant teenagers for genetic experiments to try to make super soldiers for a boss only known as HIM or HE.... or the Master.

Current Status:
All prisoners have either teleported or shadow walked back to the Institute and will examined by Marvel Girl or Iceman for injuries. If the prisoner was not a student of the Institute, they will be offered a place at the school by Cyclops.
All other students have been carried back to the Instiute by the truck Wolverine is driving.
Cyclops will give further instruction that they are waiting for a second Jet and will be heading back to the Institute early. Members of the Alpha Squadron and Excelsior teams will stay behind with Marvel Girl and Iceman to finish the work.
