41 Krakoa

Though since the cause for their disappearance was unknown, Richard still thought to evolve himself following their route.

His goal wasn't just to survive this world, if it was then he didn't need to sacrifice his human body. Simply creating an advanced exo-skeleton like Tony Stark did was more than enough.

[Does that mean that I should go ahead with gene optimization?] Queen asked

"Why are you so eager for this?" Richard asked noticing her excited tone

[It's technology far beyond the mortal realm, why wouldn't I be excited] Queen replied

"That makes sense... anyway any news on the mutant center"

[Construction is almost over and since I know you'll ask, Xavier has finished his negotiations with the United Nations and Krakoa is now a nation... you should be expecting a call any minute now] Queen said as she immediately reverted to secretary mode

"Seriously Krakoa... no matter how much I try to escape that bad omen, it still remains" Richard said as a frown formed on his face.

Normally he would be happy for the mutants but anyone even slightly familiar with the marvel comics or even just the X-Men series would realize just how much bad things have happened to the mutants while on Krakoa.

It was as though the writers doubled down on the fact that the mutants had gotten their own nation. Though Richard wasn't complaining about this fact rather he was complaining about the name 'Krakoa'

The name was cool and it's original owner was even cooler but the name seemed to be the harbeinger of death and destruction.

Genosha has existed for over thirty (30) years now and not a single nation ending disaster has befallen it and it was also a nation of mutants but as soon as Krakoa came along and annexed it.

They were all slaughtered, it was mutant race ending disasters everywhere from the nuclear problem to Wanda then the inhumans etc. The name was simply bad luck.

[It may sound generic but Mutantia is a wonderful name, why Krakoa, they could have simply gone with Genosha]

Richard complained all the way back home while Queen simply ignored him as he drove home. Several minutes later, Richard was in the house and ready to rest for the day

Meanwhile in the hidden part of the workshop, several tiny drones could be seen flying around as they all perform some task or the other.

[Optimizing gene sequence.... 87% compatible] Queen's familiar voice resounded throughout the lab

[They truly are compatible with human genome, is that why the Celestials are so interested in humanity?] She said as she continued her testing

Meanwhile elsewhere, a bald man in a seemingly self-propelled wheelchair could be seen riding out of a large plane and following him, were three people.

A young white haired woman and beside her was a familiar man in a suit. The trio walked out the plane and into a rather large airport.

The airport could be seen filled with people of all types and shapes literally. As they trio walked, two amongst them could be seen smiling while the man had a dumbfounded look plastered on his face.

"How does it have so many people already?" The man asked

In response to his question, the other two simply gavw a satisfied look as they watched the man have a mental breakdown
