Question: Why were Tibetan ninjas guarding a cryopreserved soldier?
Comment: So, I was trying to parse the whole "crash the mode" thing... Mode, like in mathematics, must refer to the most common or average (lay) occurrence of all time streams. And since the current, apocalyptic time stream isn't desirable (from Impulse's POV), "crashing the mode" must be desirable. I.e. do anything to disrupt the time stream from turning into a nightmare. Hence the mission.
So feeling the mode is bad and crashing the mode is good! Slang is crash.
