Review/plot:
It turns out that as a result of Phalanx activity during the Phalanx Covenant, Cable's Professor AI now has a body, and wants to be called Prosh.

However, Prosh's presence causes electro-magnetic disruption, causing equipment failure and, more critically, causing Cable to lose control of his techno-organic virus.

So Prosh heads out to space.

In order to launch himself, though, X-Force's entire Camp Verde base has to be cannibalized, so X-Force will need a new place to live.

"PROFESSOR--?! The sentient operational program that runs Cable's cybernet systems?! It's perfectly natural for me to include a helpful expositional explanation of what I'm talking about in the middle of my shocked reaction!"

I weirdly loved Professor/Ship, but I can't stand the transformation to Prosh. It took a wise, caring digital spirit and made into someone who mirthlessly wisecracks like a Gruenwald character or maybe a technological Plastic Man without actually being any fun. I generally like Nicieza's work, especially on this period of the title, but this was a real misfire.
