The data I got was...strange. There appears to be a greater connection between floods and breaches than I initially suspected. Two phenomena take place during both events: an alteration of the person who is already here, and a sort of quantum-double possession.
During a flood, sometimes, a person just has their appearance and memory altered, leading them to behave differently than they otherwise might. Other times, they have a parallel version of themselves in the dimension that's flooding the Barge, and for a week, that version takes them over.
And breaches work the same way. Some of us possess parallel versions of ourselves that were already there. Others don't have an in-universe counterpart, and some effect of the Barge makes reality shift around them to make room, leaving them with altered appearances and memories.
