I think you're already in Mikoshi when you awaken in the orbital "space station". Here's why:
As V, you experience things during that epilogue that are clearly not reality. Sure, It's framed to seem like sensory failures and dreams or hallucinations as he's recovering..
But if you choose the "return to earth" option, during the final sequence when V is looking out onto earth through the window of the ship.. the camera faces V and zooms out, revealing the text "Mikoshi" painted on the top-left of the ship. Also, the phone calls in the credits address V as if he still has not returned.
After he rips off the bullet necklace, the screen fades to black and the final audio is of a painful grunt from V, right before the credits start. Admittedly this last one might be a glitch lol.
After playing the game thoroughly.. If you consider the motivations of Arasaka, do you really believe they would hold up their end of the bargain and actually return V to his body? Why would they? It's a win-win for them, and Corpos only care about winning.
Finally, the title of the mission would be even more fitting if this were true.
Anyone else thinking this?
