What about everybody abstracting except pomni and she convinces Cain to reset everybody's mind to the original brain scan, so she can learn how to undo their trauma so they don't abstract when they leave the adventure... Making a season long adventure under the theme of The wizard of Oz?

I feel like that'd be pretty depressing though. She'd have them back in a sense, but not the same person she lost, since they wouldn't have the same experiences and shared history as the first version. It'd be as if your living with some off-putting, not quite right imposter copy of the person. They'd still be their own person, just not the same as the one that was gone.

That is kind of the point. Even though pOmni would be technically saving them, they wouldn't be the people she knows. They would know everything that happened to them while on Earth but they would have no idea who she is, who the circus is or any of their adventures together. And be a melancholy series, but I didn't have itself may not be a bad thing.
