My interpretation is that her face is black as a negative photo, which is kinda kewl. The X-Men woke her too early from her stasis/hybernation/healing and she didn't complete her beauty sleep cycle to full power. That is why she was running away from the X-Men aka loose wild gods, 'cause she was weak.
Truthful telling. I subscribe to it.
Lol, well extra points for an 'explanation'.I can buy it if that is an explanation or if it was her level 2 upgrade when originally she was level 1.Though it is a bad choice, 'kewl' for a bit ,but not indefinitely.I would prefer her real look not this blackface/negative effect
Why would Darwin, Laura and Synch want to talk to the CotV after they blew the elevator they were on, and were clearly aiming to kill them? There's no inconsistence but just totally different scenarios. Serafina didn't try to kill Storm and Polaris. Not sure why you seem to have got the impression that the mutants attacked first when they were responding to a murder attempt
Well for a start the 3 at least in that scenario, could try to de-escalate the situation, but for me the fact that Laura and Darwin are for all intents and purposes immortal, maybe even Synch (coz I'm not sure he needs contact to borrow powers) gives them more of an opening to not to resort to lethal force but try glean some information first and only react if self preservation is really needed.
Having said that ,presuming the CoV can kill even immortal mutants because CoV operate in ways mutants may not be able to counter we have the protocols as the failsafe.If mind saving is impossible across the vault membrane, then all the more reason to not be brash and cocky ,but stealthy.
I mean it is more likely when you actually do fact finding ,instead of killing the sentient beings who can give you information that you'll fulfill your mission.Short of that we have to assume that Darwin could bio hack the machine (when it could try to negate his hacking or try killing him in the process)
Has it been explained why Serafina was being held in the Orchis facility in X-Men #5?
Not yet, but my guess is they are building a database or repository of superpowers or genes imbued with them so that they can upload them into Nimrod when he is complete ,so that he has a few powers in his arsenal before he mimics more on his own or to test his adaptation against his catalog of abilities he may face to make him a more lethal killing machine coz he will have countermeasures ready

I agree with everything you said, Odd Rödney. I like reading the discussion about what happened in the issue versus how a writer is treating a character, which is of course subjective. I enjoyed the issue and thought all three X-Men shined, as well as the CotV.

What an underwhelming read. So much anticipation for a nothing story. The only thing we learned is Synch has a crush on Laura and dying gave him a power boost which now allows him to mimic powers from anyone, not just mutants. The children of the vault went down like chumps in 2 pages.
Exactly. Laura isn't Cassandra Cain. Laura refuses to ever be on a team like X-force again where you're killing people left and right and will do everything possible to avoid killing. But in extreme cases and as last resort she will do what is necessary.
In this issue Laura was just like Yost's Laura, someone who's very methodic and tactical whereas Logan is a snip first and ask questions later.
The children of the vault are basically organic versions of Nimrod so I highly doubt Laura feels any sort of kinship to them.
Also, why are people complaining that the plot wasn't resolved in one issue, don't we want to see Laura as much as possible? So the more issue this story arc has, the better?
I'd prefer an entire 3-4 issue story arc with them in the Vault tbh.
