In Rachael's own words:

Since the wheel of fortune is a card of chance, I tried to show several elements of chance in the picture: the bird disk cutting the cables, Joe leaping to what he thinks is his death (but isn't because of the cut cables). Ken getting shot down in the background. And the apparent destruction of X. The bird disk is half white and half black in the inner ring, reversed in the outer ring, symbolic of the way fortune sometimes turns from good to bad then bad to good without warning. There are three cables, symbolic of the three series. (The dark one symbolizes Gatch F ?) The rings around X's core mirror the inner and outer rings of the bird disk.
