Labs scuttled, research material burned, scorched earth with salted soil so that none would ever be aware of I.O.'s unholy works. The island itself was believed to've been sterilized of mutant life, along with a member of Team 7 whom was listed K.I.A while on mission. But in the same vein of Caballito island remaining intact after the raid, so too did their wayward lab animals survive the decimation of their testing ground turned island home.
