On the idea that Exile could have perhaps already been a simulation base, or at least have the equipment for a simulation base, they were discussing the idea on the LFTO Shizno that the crash wasn't an accident, and was instead part of the simulation trooper experiment and was meant to crash. They then went on to suggest that after the demise of Project Freelancer, the Chairman or someone similar didn't know what to do with the Reds and Blues, so they decided to just carry on with the simulation tests that Project Freelancer was doing. It's an interesting idea, and would explain the Comm. Tower not working, the suspicous feeling Wash has, and perhaps Freckles' appearance.
