As Cable tries to get Rogue help from the medical personnel on Providence, Lady Mastermind uses hypnotherapy to force out the psychic parasite she discovered in her head a few issues ago. The parasite is revealed to be Ev Teel Urizen, a mummadri that seeks to warn the Earth of an approaching uncontrolled Shi'ar superweapon.
