"The light fades, Ms. Pryde. But we're still blind. The battle eats the soldiers. The road maps hide the road. Johnny's coming but home, but he's not marching. I don't see how he could march after being blessed like that. And the mother will cry. And the machine will sing. And we'll all go running to our places. If we can find our places---in the dark."

In the aftermath of Blinded By the Light, the Destiny Diaries have been destroyed, many of the mutants with knowledge of the future are gone, and the Marauders hold Rogue hostage. In the midst of the chaos, Weapon Plus is beginning to unveil its newest program: Weapon XVI. No one seems able or willing to state what the government's plan is, only that its goal is beyond what Weapon X started. They will control mutation, create living weapons, and cure the rest.
Mutants are being rounded up and placed in concentration camps. They are divided into two groups: the experiments and the useless. The useless are killed and harvested for their DNA, while the experiments are further mutated until they are literally living weapons.
The X-Men are furious and are trying to work to halt the program peacefully with help from X-Factor. However, Magneto, the Brotherhood, and the Red Queen's new Sisterhood, have other ideas. Humans stand on both sides of the issue; William Stryker and the Purifiers have offered their assistance, while Nicky Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. stand beside the X-Men. Mr. Sinister is secretly helping the program, posing as Dr. Windsor to further his own research and is using the Marauders to bring in new subjects. But Wolverine is preparing for drastic action and has reassembled the X-Force.
Can the X Men stop the program before it is too late and all mutants are subjected to its whim?
