“So what’s the plan? Can we break the parameters of the simulation, like you would on a malfunctioning holodeck? Assuming you’re right, if we do something that the original Yeager wouldn’t do during the war, would that break us out of the ‘time echo’?”
Cassidy continued prepping the sickbay as he thought. He still had a responsibility to the crew, whether this was real or some kind of hallucination.
