Det här behandlas i filmens officiella novellering . Kortfattat känner inte soldaterna själva identiteterna för de barn som var i herrgården och har absolut ingen skyldighet att gå på en cross-country manhunt för att försöka jaga dem. Efter att Peter Rasputin (Colossus) guidat dem till säkerhet längs stormkanalen, är det troligt att de helt enkelt spridda för att stanna hos några närliggande familjer som var sympatiska, precis som Rogue / Wolverine etc stoppade vid Bobbys hus.
The only alternative would be to widen the search parameters and try to pick the mutants up when they emerged onto the surface. But that would mean significantly degrading the resources available to monitor the prime target, Xavier’s mansion. Again, given mission parameters, not an option.
Barring a miracle, any kids who’d escaped into the tunnels were pretty much free and clear.
Unaware of this, Peter Rasputin led his party into one of the long tunnels burrowed deep beneath the estate. Its terminus was a thick stand of woods outside Xavier’s holdings, a nature preserve. He had no idea what would happen after that, or what would become of a score of terrified, bedraggled children in their nightclothes, with no money between them and no one close at hand they could trust.
Right now, though, for Peter, that didn’t seem so important. He just wanted to get them, and himself, out of danger, to a place where no one would chase them or threaten them with guns. He wanted a breather, time enough to gather his wits and take stock of both the situation and his resources. Of the ultimate outcome, though, he had no doubt.
Awful as things seemed now, in the end he was sure they’d work out all right.
Som sagt kan åtminstone ett av deras antal gå genom väggar. Det finns en rimlig möjlighet att hon tömmer närmaste bankvalv och att barnen tillbringade resten av filmen hål i Kejsarens svit på Caesars .
