Erik confidently says that rumors are circulating that Trask is experimenting on mutants in order to use their DNA and manufacture the ultimate weapon against mutants, and that is why Mystique wants to kill Trask. Charles looks thoughtfully at Erik, but says nothing, despite his suspicions that Erik possesses more info about Trask than anyone else. The two friends tell their students about the situation.
