Magneto: His name is Colonel William Stryker, and he invaded your mansion for one purpose: he wanted Cerebro, or enough of it to build one of his own.
Dr. Jean Grey: But that doesn't make any sense. Stryker would need the Professor to operate it.
Magneto: Which I think is the only reason my old friend is still alive.
Storm: Oh my God...
[Storm, Jean Gray and Magneto exchange worried looks]
Wolverine: What are you all so afraid of?
Magneto: While Cerebro is working, Charles's mind is connected to every living person on the planet. If he were forced to concentrate hard enough on a particular group - let's say mutants, for example - he could kill us all!
Storm: Wait a minute, how would Stryker even know where to find Cerebro in the first place?
Magneto: ...Because I told him. I helped Charles build it, remember? Mr. Stryker has powerful methods of persuasion - even against a mutant as strong as Charles.

[the X-Jet is pursued by a fleet of jets]
Storm: Somebody's pretty pissed.
Wolverine: [glares at Pyro] I wonder why!
