Synopsis for "Do or Die, Baby!"

Jean, Scott, and Hank are riding in a airship that gets shot down by a missile, but Jean saves them. The Sentinels think it killed them, and are also convinced that Larry Trask is a mutant. Judge Chalmers reveals Larry Trask's mutant abilities were suppressed by an amulet he wore, removed last issue. And the sentinels are still following their last orders: "Secure all mutants in the area and destroy them!". The sentinels capture more mutants, including Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Unus, The Blob, and others, then detect mutants nearby. Jean, Scott, and Hank sneak in disguised as prisoners, and trash some Sentinels on the way to the command center. There Judge Chalmers takes a blast meant for Cyclops, diverting the Sentinels for the moment. (A human was harmed by a sentinel!). Cyclops tells the sentinels the only way to save humans from mutants is to destroy the source of mutation, and the sentinels fly off into the sun. At the end we get a brief appearance of Lykos, being called by Scott Summers to help Havok with his mutant power.
