Having just read HoX 3 & 4 (I'm always fashionably late), one thing that struck me about the Orchis Forge mission, besides how unbelievably badass it was, was the notion that the human crew were 'innocent civilians'.
Logan sneers at the idea, and begins to make some good points about their actions.
These people are effectively putting a sentinel-shaped gun at the head of the mutant race. Hickman does a fantastic job reminding the reader of the atrocities committed to the mutant race in the past, through Sentinels (and pretenders), as well as the future.
Now, obviously, Xavier and the X-men were never going to commit the mass murder of 3,000 people.
Doesn't really jive with what they stand for.
But, knowing everything we know about who they are, what they were up to, why they were doing it, and what happens to mutants when Mother Mold becomes active, should the human crew of the Orchis Forge really be considered 'innocent civilians'?
