Plot Summary
Weapon X takes on the MLF by himself. He questions his actions but keeps fighting them all and working his way toward his goal of defeating Stryfe. He reaches Stryfe and finds that he is waiting for him. Stryfe takes off his mask and reveals that he looks just like Cable. Weapon X is surprised and confused since he has seen Stryfe and Cable fight each other. Stryfe tells him that maybe Cable is him or that neither is what they seem. He gets knocked out by Stryfe and wakes up hours later...

X-Force deals with the fall-out of their fight with the Morlocks and the Brotherhood. Sam deals with learning he's an External. Behind the scenes, the Externals plan the acquisition of the newest mutant to "ascend."

Synopsis
X-Tenuating Circumstances, Part 3
Having followed the MLF through Zero's port, Garrison Kane finds himself face to face with Stryfe. After knocking around some lower level mutants, Kane confronts Stryfe. Stryfe removes his helmet and reveals a face just like Cable's. Kane has no idea what to think and tries to rationalize what he sees. Is Cable Stryfe? Is Stryfe Cable? Stryfe simply throws out that maybe neither is who they seem. He then knocks Kane out.

Kane awakens just 10 miles from his base of operations, Department K. He storms in and demands that Weapon P.R.I.M.E. be dispatched immediately to take Cable down. General Clarke cannot okay this, but he does introduce someone with a similar desire to see Cable humbled: Rictor.
