All righty... maybe I'm just tripping balls, but I noticed something that could be relevant. No idea whether it's been brought up before, but here is a little something that got me thinking...
*puts on his tinfoil hat*
Remember the Syndicate recruitment poster we saw on Ion?

I'm normally wary of interpreting visual evidence as clues in VNs because it can be very misleading; what might look like a clue is simply a result of an asset's default look, the dev recycling assets or something of that nature. Here, however, both assets seem to be custom-made and if that's the case, this is probably not a coincidence.
Make of that what you will...

So either Cari commissioned for that map asset to be made WHILE he was still working on OIAL (possible, considering that he may have been playing around with HS2 already at that point), or he took that asset and said "you know what, I can use these numbers..." and just wrote it in his story accordingly.
Or all of this is just a mighty coincidence that has no connection with one another (like '2139' could be the current year in Ion, something like that).
Still, could be something, so...

(Also, if we're gonna go full Harold Camping on this one, adding all of the numbers gets you 15, and

(I'm looking from that because of the Gems of Doom - Sefirot connection), we get..."Fifteen always represents the elevation from physical to spiritual. From this we can understand the Kli Yakar that fifteen is often used to represent the bond between man and wife, as we shall soon see.
The elevation, mentioned in the previous paragraph, has a corollary: The number fifteen always signifies the fifteen steps necessary for the attainment of a lofty objective.
The physical world was created in six days and a spiritual dimension was added to it, the seventh day. The number eight begins the spiritual realm beyond this world. Through the performance of certain mitzvot (commandment, duty), one can connect the physical and spiritual realms and this is symbolized by the number 15 [7+8=15] Thus, the number 15 represents a synthesis of heaven and earth."
...well that's just one instance of the importance of the number sooooo...make of that what you will, I suppose?)
