I've seen people here who were on that ship, but they had no memory of it, so I can only assume... I don't know, different parallel universes, different timelines, something like that. If you remember Clara Oswald, I've known her at least three times, but she never remembers the last."

I'm not sure it makes sense to conclude that Mana does this consciously. It's too scattershot... maybe it's a side effect of her existence and the way the Ingress has been broken, some kind of strange combination. Still, we can certainly examine the subject with an eye to whether or not it's intentional."
