"There is probably nobody in the world who is more skilled, aside from possibly Sage." Stephanie replied. "My father relied upon her, enormously, and in days gone by- he respected her. Trusted her. And trust for a man like my father, even back then, is not a thing that comes readily."

She took a breath. "She would make a valuable right hand, for Shaw Industries, but also for the project of building a mutant community. She already knows the corporate side of things. It wouldn't be difficult for her to learn the rest of it."

She couldn't help but smile faintly. "I doubt she'd be able to pass for anything other than some version of Sage herself. She's younger, yes- but otherwise looks identical to her.

I bet my father has billions hidden away. Even severing his corporate links, he can use those accounts to recover and build up resources for vengeance. He still knows a great many powerful people, both above and under-ground.

There's something else."

She paused for another moment.

"My father assuredly has command codes for any Sentinels made under his watch. If anyone knows them and could alter them, it's her."
