all analogue nowhere characters are unreliable narrators and the actual plot is just a mixture of truth and brain chip glitch hallucinations
you may be closer to the truth than you realize.
Some say the entirety of the techno-mage plotline is OpenBlade relaying its adventures with the mage to Fosschild.
someone out there is convinced that "may the source be with you" is the correct way of saying it but no one knows who's brain is glitched
Chances are the chronologically last panel of it all is just a CS student waking up in their dorm, rubbing their eyes and saying 'what a fucked up dream.'
Hmm.... there are a lot of references that a current CS student isn't going to get. More like an oldschool hacker (in the traditional sense of the word) whose mind is going. But I hope you don't go that route, because "it was all just a dream" is a cliche.
This is what Neo was dreaming of in The Matrix right before the prompt awakens him.
