Forum:How time travel works or will work

So we know, or at least believe we know, that at some point, Agatha will gain the ability to manipulate time. I believe, however, that Lucrezia has already used a similar method, because we know, or, at any rate, were told by Vrin, that Lucrezia had visited the Geisterdamen repeatedly throughout their history, without her physical appearance ever changing, and that she had knowledge of the their future. It seems likely to me, therefore, that when visiting the Geister world, Lucrezia could choose when in time she would arrive, which would give her the knowledge to make accurate prophecies, at least up until she visited the present. Now what if the same or a similar process is possible in reverse? Remember that in the apparitions DuPree witnessed, Gilgamesh was wearing Geistergear, and there was a Geisterdame present; also, the background behind Agatha and the others appears strange-looking. Is it not possible that Agatha, Gil, and Moloch had traveled, or will travel, to the Geisterverse, and they are trying to determine the right moment to reenter the Europaverse? Perhaps being able to choose when to enter the alternate timeline is an inherent feature of travel between the two. Which raises another question. Consider that, at some point, Lucrezia visited, or will visit, the Geisterverse in clank body, to judge from the look of her hand and arm in Vrin's flashback; some have speculated that the first apparition, witnessed by Agatha in Beetleburg, was also of Lucrezia in a clank body. Furthermore, consider that Lucrezia downloaded her mind into a clank body, that we know of, only after those events, and that she can replace certain parts of the body to modify its appearance and functionality. What if Lucrezia, who, in her clank body, is still at large after the events in Sturmhalten, has not yet, from her perspective, appeared to Agatha in Beetleburg or exiled the Geisterdamen?
