Summary
To the moon! go the X-Men and X-Factor, since Wolverine realizes that is where Stryfe has Scott and Jean captive. Stryfe actually saves them from suffocation (they broke out into the vacuum in Uncanny X-Men 296), takes a walk in the moonlight with them, and broadly hints that he is Scott's son.
Cable recalibrates his bodysliding doo-hickey on Greymalkin (shown to be a space station) and takes Wolverine and Bishop. Alex leads a team of Psylocke, Archangel, Iceman, Lorna, Cannonball, and Storm.
But first, Archangel gets his "father" Apocalypse to treat Xavier's technovirus. The treatment is severe: he accelerates the virus, so that it abandons Xavier to look for a better food supply. Storm voices her appreciation, and Apocalypse offers to fly her to the moon.
