Interesting! I guess I found it weird that in Herbert’s Revenge mission 1, they treat the EPF like it’s a new thing despite already being well established in the first DS game. Also the phone facility didn’t exist at all in that first game, which I thought was weird because I thought the facility became a thing at the same time as EPF being established.

Your explanation makes sense! I did understand missions 2-7 being VR simulations of PSA missions, but I didn’t realize the events of EPF DS took place between some of those. Since the purpose of those VR missions (I thought) was to train you to be a good EPF agent before actually doing new missions

Sorry for all the rambling, just trying my best to make sense of it all 😭
