Yes, but there is a quite a huge differences in regard to being wrong about something like in Indiana Jones and then experiencing what V is. Then one would have to assume that all the characters etc. in the story weren't really there. Also there are a lot of information about people, corporations etc. insider knowledge that wouldn't really make sense. And would be impossible to reference in an expansion, because it weren't actually real. So almost all the stuff we learned is pointless in an expansion, because it was all just on the engram.Honestly, the whole point of the story was that it was a wild goose chase in the beginning wasn't it? It was kind of an enormous RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK storyline where Indy goes to elaborate lengths to rescue the Ark only to note that as a literal weapon of God, it was going to never be useful to the Nazis save as an oven they burned their hand on.
V could never save themselves so discovering they were never in danger is kind of their Kafka-esque karmic reward.
I mean, wouldn't Vic or Misty have told V, that these people were just playing them as a fool? Vic is the one that starts off telling V that there is nothing to be done and that V is going to die, then he is quite an asshole to do that to a friend
