wow she seems so interesting! axel definitely could use a helpful friend, and probably a truly egregious number of experimental hands, so i'd love to call them colleagues of a sort, especially after his ethics board swiftly defunded him and he has to continue his work independently, ie in his own body. if she could source materials or be a second opinion on his work that would be amazing, since it seems like they share a 'research progresses at all costs' kind of attitude
