Have you been wondering how the version of Jean's "final" transmission in X-Men: Onslaught compares to the original version, as seen in Bishop's flashback in UXM #287 - but you either don't have access to both comics or just don't want to dig out and unbag your precious collection to find out? Well, you don't have to - we at AX have done it for you. Jean's words appear in quotes, and Onslaught's psionic speech is in brackets. The text that appears in both versions is in black, text added in to fill the static and seen only in X-Men: Onslaught is in red, and finally, the "malfunction" text from the original version - where the tape stuck or skipped is in blue.
“Alex?! Kurt? Sean? Cable...anyone?
The mansion has sustained massive damage. I don’t even know if this
transmission is being received. If you can hear me -- you need to know what
happened here. The X-Men have been hit hard... worse, we were taken total
taken totally unaware. Both teams -- Blue and Gold -- have been decimated!
If you respond to this distress call, be advised that mansion security has
been deactivated activated... activated.. deactivated from within! As hard
as it is for me to say this... you need to know...we’ve been betrayed by
one of our own! Incredible as it sounds...
Professor Xavier has gone insane.
The most powerful psi on the planet is no longer in control of his mutant
ability! As near as I can tell... Juggernaut was the first to die. I’m the
only one left standing who can make this message... and he’s seen to it that
my power’s negated. It’s our own fault, really... after what I saw in his
mind... ...we should never have trusted that there were no after-effects
from Professor Xavier shutting down Magneto’s mind! We knew so little about
the psionic damage that would result from -- Wait! I... sense... ...he’s
here.
[[Of course child. Did you truly believe even for an instant, that you would
escape the same fate which befell the rest of your team?]]
“I don’t believe you -- I can’t believe you! You may have killed the
X-Men... ... but the dream will never...!”
[[... Die? On the contrary, Jean Grey-Summers. The Dream is dead.]]
