History Headscratchers / ThirteenSentinelsAegisRim

** This game is so confusing with all the alternate versions but there are 3 Tamaos. The Tamao in Sector 5 (1944) is the "true" Tamao of the current loop and the one who is compatible, she dies in the simulation and Universal Control pulls her out to preserve the life of her real life body. Then there is the older grandma Tamao of Sector 4 (1984) who is an AI a general NPC controlled by Universal Control just like everyone else in the city. Lastly we have the Tamao of 1 loop ago whose data was stored in Sector 0 and partially recreated in the current loop by Ida who brings her back as an android and Sentinel AI. Yes, this does imply there are older AI versions of all the compatible, but that's all we know we never see them. This also implies that if the compatible shifted around before the kaiju invasions they may have inadvertently deleted those alternate older AI versions.

* How does simulated environment of a world war work in the long term? Is there an area that is constantly at war? Are there simulated American planes? Or are Hijiyama and Miura constantly preparing?

** (this was very hard to parse) In the loop we play through there are two Tamao Kurabes. The AI version from a few loops back and the one current iteration. The AI version has a body resembling her real one that she walks around in, always wearing the modern school unform. The Tamao that disappeared in the 1940s wasn't deleted but pulled into Universal Control for safe keeping. Any in consistencies from that probably arise from the nonlinear storytelling and the fact that 426 took AI Tamao's body for a while and was technically a seperate entity.

* At first it seems that the Tamao Kurabe in 1985 is simply the Tamao from one loop ago as evidenced by the fact that it was that Tamao that allowed Megumi to live with Juro. However, the files reveal that this is not the case and that the Tamao from Sector 4 is a completely different character from the Tamao of one loop ago and in fact the Tamao of Sector 4 was deleted upon the Tamao of one loop ago arriving in Sector 4. This of course begs the question: who the hell is the Tamao of Sector 4? The fact that Universal Control is able to delete her seems to imply she's and AI but why the hell is there an AI counterpart of one of the compatible running around when it doesn't seem to be a version from a previous loop? Hell does this mean that there are other older AI versions of other compatible? Is there an AI version of Hijiyama and Miura in Sector 4? Are there AI versions of Ogata, Minami and Takamiya in Sector 3? The fact that there is a Tamao in 1985 seprate from the Tamao of one loop ago raises so many questions.

** If I recall correctly, Fluffy can appear to anyone with the Nanomachines in their system. It is just easier when Juro is nearby, and Megumi is always near Juro.

* What is the deal with Professor Douji? Did Okino somehow convince Douji that he made the Sentinels, "Victory of the Daleks" style? Did he also convince him that he is his daughter? And if Okino had that kind of pull over Douji, why did he still call the MP on him?

* If Megumi is the only one capable of seeing Fluffy, then how come Sekigahara can see him at Kurabe's house?

** Cloning makes this more complicated but presuming Iori's DNA wasn't altered from Chihiro's at all that would make her more a genetic twin than a daughter biologically. Which, again biologically, would put her closer to being Okino's aunt.

* Since Iori Fuyusaka is a clone of Chihiro Morimura and Tsukasa Okino is the latter’s biological son, wouldn’t that make the two of them siblings?

* Given that the 13 protagonists are simply clones inside of growth pods, which are apparently spartan enough that they don't even provide clothes, a lot about their appearance makes no sense. How exactly did Iori, Gouto, and Megumi get glasses? Who is cutting/styling their hair, especially given the rather intensive hairstyles for characters like Tomi's braided twintails or Nenji's pompadour? How did Iori get a decorative flower in there? And how did Miura get a prominent scar if he's never been out of the pod?

* Is the "world" completely virtual, or is it physical to some extent? The strictly limited size of each sector (abruptly ending at the 15km radius and exiting into space at a 2km altitude) and the presence of the mainframe buried underneath wouldn't make much sense if the world is purely virtual, but there also doesn't seem to be any reason to use a physical space.

* What's up with the free roaming androids? They don't shut down after reaching the mainframe like the Kaiju, but are single-mindedly aggressive toward humans. Ida was making use of them to make false bodies but it doesn't make sense for there to be so many unoccupied bloodthirsty androids roaming the land with no purpose.
* So they say that the ship contains the genetic information of many flora and Fauna, as well as humanity (Not unlike the Andromeda Initiative from Mass Effect Andromeda funnily enough.), but given we only see Japanese characters does that include any genetic information from Humanity outside Japan, or is it only the DNA of people from Japan (And all the Implications THAT raises.). Also, are there any intentions to use said Genetic Information to attempt to make a race of enhanced humans (And, again, all the implications THAT raises.)?
