[[WMG: Alice and Clover use the transporter to get home]]
It should still be around in the Apocalypse future, and Akane has probably kept track of it. Why did they say Schrodinger's Cat was involved? Because the transporter will duplicate their bodies, and presumably their consciousnesses. Each Alice/Clover pair will wake up in one of two possible places -- there's no way to know which until they get out and see.

[[WMG: Delta isn't actually Brother]]
The real Brother is actually the religious fanatic. Based on what we know of Brother from VLR, he is incredibly scornful of humanity. Delta very clearly isn't. In fact, half of his plan revolves around him wishing to SAVE humanity. What we know of the religious fanatic lines up with what we were told of Brother: The fact that he's scornful of humanity, and that god told him to kill them. Meanwhile, everything Delta does creates contradictions with what we know from VLR. He doesn't seem to be very upset about his "brother's" death. Hell, Left is only mentioned once in the entire game. If we assume that Delta is Brother, then there's no way that Left would be mentioned only once, when all we know of his motivation in VLR is that he started despising humanity as a result of his death. And if Delta really is Brother, then there's no way he'd kill Alice's father in cold blood like we know he did in VLR.

[[WMG: Mira's Smile]]
In the post-game file Mira is mentioned to smile a real smile... being a sociopath incapable of feeling emotion... this shouldn't be possible.
The morphogenetic field is shown to be like a terminal connecting with a server with the human brain acting as the transmitter. Its also implied that all humans have some connection to the morphgenetic field due to the way the brain works.
In 999, morphogenetic field theory is being researched by Ace to see if he can't cure his condition. The idea being that his mental condition was being caused by a weak connection to the morphgenetic field and could be repaired.
In the ending of ZTD, Mira's SHIFTed which required a connection to the morphogenetic field. Perhaps, her mental condition of being unable to feel emotions was due to a misconnect between her and the morphogenetic field. SHIFTing might have re-calibrated her brain and tuned it to the morphogenetic field.
The final SHIFT actually cured Mira. Thus her real smile and her love for Eric might have been true.
