This memory thing this week definitely does make that feel more plausible. Before this... I didn't know how it was that we were all able to see these people the others knew who we had no reason to be able to recognize ourselves.

I mean— obviously they know what I look like, so maybe it's not so amazing that they would have gotten the appearances right on mine. But I also never told anyone we were all identical... and all their personalities and everything seemed right too.
...But. Yeah. I think now that it probably was something like that — projecting from our memories just like the sim rooms. [ ... ] Just wish I could confirm it and kick the rest of this annoying doubt to the curb.
Maybe it's hard to confirm it for sure, but there's enough evidence now? There's great powers that can do that sort of thing in space, machine or not.

I don't blame you for worrying at all, and it's not a totally unreasonable worry. But — nearly everything I've heard about these trips does sound like they play with a lot of illusions. Sometimes really ridiculous ones, or sometimes ones meant to hurt us. I don't know if that's on purpose or just part of its nature, but it happens here.
It's not a great thing to take comfort in, but I hope it helps sort some of this out.
