C.04: In the Blink of an Eye
=============================

Objectives:
* Talk to Sabretooth in the Sanctuary
* Rescue Blink in the Dead Zone

Areas:
* Sanctuary (X)
* Dead Zone

Items:
* Tech station (+2 Strike): first burned out airship

Recommended Team:
* Iceman comes in handy putting out fires and building bridges,
  otherwise, this is a good time for experimentation

You open with an extended cutscene in Magneto's Genosha sanctuary, which is 
home base for Act 1. Spend a little time looking around; you'll find Beast 
nearby, ready to buy and sell and, next to him, the Review Computer, where 
you can look at your unlocked goodies. You can go ahead and play the Act 1 
trivia game for some extra XP. Finally, there's the Danger Room Computer; 
but you can't do much yet as only one course is available.

When you're finished sightseeing, go talk to Sabretooth, who is standing 
near the exit.

(PC version anomaly: you can add Sabretooth to your team at the Xtraction 
point, then go talk to Sabretooth with Sabretooth. Weird.)

Victor introduces you to your first mission, to rescue Blink. He'll open 
the gate for you to continue to the Dead Zone. There are a lot of fires in 
this area, which can hurt if you get knocked into them during combat. Use 
Iceman to put them out as you go.

This first part of the Dead Zone is pretty small. There's one point where 
you can build a bridge (with Iceman, Jean or Magneto) for a shortcut. Keep 
an eye out for a burned-out ship. Inside is a +2 Strike tech station.

Once you reach Blink and talk to her, this mission ends. You can return to 
Sanctuary for the official mission briefing, or just use Blink's portal to 
jump to the next part of the Dead Zone.

**NOTE** Now that you have rescued Blink, you can open a Blink Portal back 
to home base at any time using the Blink Portal option from the game menu.
