We also have nothing to suggest that Elsenova has the ''ability'' to "send him back to Earth" and when she says "We have taken care of it", this feels like a lie and a hand-wave (do not look behind the curtain!). But we '''''do''''' know that Elsenova can subdue Trace at will, and it is suggested that Veruska can create dreamlike worlds.

Finally, the note Axiom 1 (was also in the trailer) points to the dream world being an important concept in Axiom Verge.

I concur. The Breach was used, nay, required to travel between Earth and Sudra, (i believe this was mentioned in the post-Vision cutscene and the The Breach note) As it stands, destroying the Breach Attractor dispelled enough of the Breach that travel back to Earth was rendered, if not impossible, then excessively risky and difficult.<br />
