He's just got an annoying hitchhiker in his head.

 [Standing on one of the offshoots of the main streets is a familiar trigger-happy gunslinger. A confused trigger-happy gunslinger. But that's not the thing that's off. It's Axl, alright. An Axl with a uncomfortably familiar color scheme. Lumine's. And the fact that he seems to be talking to himself.]

I finally got to Giga City but our radio is down

[Have a little girl robot who looks a lot like X, Axl. And she's looking you over intently before answering as she approaches.]

The farthest anyone has gotten is to the other islands. Something is jamming the signals to the mainland.

[Yeah, that throws them off for a minute, the uncanny way the little girl looked like X]

Well, damn. Anyone found the suckers jamming the signal?

[In his head] Probably not, or the jamming would stopped by now.

Shut up, Lumine.

[mega_maiden]

It appears to be the result of the experiments going on currently.

[And then he mentions Lumine and Rock starts looking around in a panic.]

Where? Where is Lumine? I'll call X!

[gunstwodefaults]

Experiments?

[the panic suprises them & Axl blinks a little]

What? Is X here? And why should you need to call X if Lumine is here? We already told X, we were coming here.
