I take it that's not the only thing you have discovered in your time spent away from us? And if so... what do you need from us to aid?
If we are made of memory, I want to know how. There is a rumbling in our location when someone dies—either after the announcement or before the end of decommissioning, and it changes magnitude based on how many bodies are arriving—as if it knows who is going to die. But there are also cases where I destroyed my memory bank, so how can I still have full access to my memories? Is it the cryopods that can still read traces of us, or something else?

If we can be given bodies for our memory to transfer to, that could be an alternative way to solve the process. My Reliver technology can manage that much, though I would need to fix everyone's emotions after, but it again requires figuring out where our memory is being stored.
There is also the issue of the so-called ghosts: your dead comrades from the past Eudora tour. What do you know of hydroponics? Of the 'jump' process that occurs on Thursdays right before everyone but a few are knocked out, and people die?

Well, we discovered we were made of memory recently. So it'd be approximately how we were in life, as long as that is how we remember ourselves.
