The council begins to discuss the matter, and a vote is held whether to accept Hope outright or to continue reviewing other candidates. Sinister, having experienced this day before, is well-aware of how the votes will go. Wanting Hope on the council, but wishing to hide his intentions, Sinister votes no, believing the motion will carry anyways. He is surprised when Destiny votes no, when he was sure she would vote yes. Sinister hurriedly changes his vote, but begins to suspect that Destiny is on to him. The ending of issue #10. Xavier removes his Cerebro helmet, revealing a red Sinister diamond on his forehead. In other words, this Professor X has actually been a Sinister clone or chimera for an undetermined period of time. Issue #13 as a whole suggests that with Cypher's condemnation the Quiet Council might be able to course correct before things get too bad. Then, quite suddenly, Krakoa grabs Doug and spirits him away. And in-between there and issue #14, Fall of X starts.

Hope lobbying for the Five to have a representative on the Quiet Council once Magneto's seat opens. This is the culmination of the Five becoming increasingly discontented with the Council and their questionable stances on resurrection policies throughout Reign of X (especially in Vita Ayala's New Mutants and Leah Williams' X-Men: The Trial of Magneto). Moses Archetype: In issue #14, in the aftermath of the Hellfire Gala, Exodus leads the banished Krakoans through a desert.

Prepare for sinister secrets to be revealed and learn that some secrets are more sinister than others... Hypocrite: In issue #11, Ororo is at one point unsettled by Rasputin's rather aggressive (if understandable) self-righteousness towards the Quiet Council members infected by Sinister in Sins of Sinister. Her own self-righteousness throughout the issue is rather bluntly punctured by Emma towards the end, who points out that Ororo really has less cause to be getting high and mighty towards Xavier, herself and the others than she thinks considering that, in the Bad Future, things only got as bad as they did in large part because Ororo failed to notice anything was wrong for five years, until it was far too late. And that, for all her claims about "no thrones on Arakko", in that timeline she appears to have gotten rather comfortable with her people regarding her as some kind of god-monarch. What also goes unsaid, but is also a factor, is that it is also revealed in the main event that the only reason the timeline lasted as long as it did was because Ororo secretly refused to reset it when she had the opportunity because of a hope that things might get better; they didn't, meaning that despite her best intentions Ororo also has some inadvertent but nevertheless direct responsibility for perpetuating the thousand years of horror everyone in that timeline suffered.

The short answer is yes!

The very first scene starts with one for Edward Elgar, with a reference to the Enigma Variations. That's swiftly followed by a more subtle shout-out to John Cale. The scene is captioned "Paris, 1919" and Essex is soon collapsed on the ground, repeating " You're a ghost" - the chorus of Cale's song Paris 1919.Kaiju: Selene animates the External gate, made from mutant bones, as a huge undead monster, and then sets it rampaging across Krakoa. Terse Talker: Gorgon's argument for why he should be on the Quiet Council consists of just, "Me." Comprehensively averted by Beast, who has prepared a Powerpoint presentation...

If you want to understand how the Quiet Council got to where they are at the beginning of the issue with more specificity, then you’ll want to grab the recent Inferno miniseries along with X Lives of Wolverine. Nobody likes Selene, but she's not wrong when she points out that Apocalypse's departure leaves the Quiet Council without an expert on magic and vulnerable to threats that use it. After the Sins of Sinister event Mother Righteous, the Sinister clone who's pursued magical power, is in a strong position to do exactly that. In issue #12 Raven reveals to Irene she knows what her wife did in the Sinister timeline to "protect" her, and that she is furious. After their argument in issue #11, Ororo notes that while Emma was just lashing out, it doesn't make what she says to her less true.Save Scumming: Sinister's approach to his clones of Moira. If a decision leads to a future he dislikes, he uploads the details to a clone, kills her, and resets the timeline. It's implied that he's already done this 25 times, with the current Sinister being version 26 - he also mentions hoping to make it through Judgement Day this time, so at least one previous timeline he's reset was more advanced than where he was up to then..
