Create a new rule called “Earthlink”:
The Earthlink is a massive vertical, linear dark matter accelerator designed to fire and pierce a hole in spacetime - a wormhole, to Earth.
The Earthlink is Stable or Unstable, and is by default Stable. This is publicly tracked.
Each first time a Citizen changes location after the Earthlink becomes Unstable, their Doppelganger appears at their former location. Each subsequent time a Citizen changes location, their Doppelganger’s location, is set to their previous Location. A Citizen is also considered to be at their Doppelganger’s Location
While the Earthlink is Stable, all Doppelgangers are removed and cannot be in play.
A Citizen with a Toolbox can spend a Taser or Flashlight to Jerry Rig the Earthlink to set it to Stable or Unstable.
Always bothered me how Earthlink Tower didn’t have an Earth link yet.
I enjoy the trivia that while the setting to the former location can take effect up to X times at once, where X is the number of times Instability has previously occurred, the appearance of the doppleganger only happens once per Instability, and so we’ll never get more than one nor be unsure of its location.
I’d rather find more things to do with the mechanics we already have than to add more that don’t yet do anything.

“While the Earthlink is Unstable, Citizens produce a Doppelganger at their previous location and remove their oldest Doppelganger each time they change Location”
I think that the loose wording of this might be exploitable.
