Sneaking up on a Syndicate vessel is one way to get yourself killed…

I am detecting an Orion vessel nearby. They appear to be transporting something from one of the planets.

Normally I would exercise caution, as this may be an Orion Syndicate vessel. However, their experience in this region of space may be useful.

Commander, approach the ship and we will open a channel.

We can get closer to this mysterious energy barrier… if that's what it is. We won't be able to go directly toward it, but I think we can travel to the Nikola system, nearby.

We may learn more about the time loop affecting the USS Newton there.

I think I would need to see the loop in progress before I could come to any further conclusions. It is my goal to rescue the USS Newton as much as learn from the incursion.

Perhaps another visit to the Mina system will provide that opportunity.

Doctor, I have been able to get a visual on some kind of singularity on long range sensors. The chroniton emissions appear to be forming there and travelling through this system.

Yes, it seems that this Singularity Apex is responsible for the temporal loop. It is probable that the USS Newton is acting as a catalyst in some reaction.

Interesting hypothesis. Commander, we should take our findings back to the Station. Doctor Thielen and I may need some time to work out a solution to the temporal paradox.

Regrettable that you had to defend us from the Orions. What were they doing?

Unclear. They were not engaged in a mining operation, nor are there any lifesigns on the planet.

I'm surprised to see Orions so far from their homeworld. Anyway, it is of little consequence. Commander, take us to the perimeter of the system.

I will attempt to triangulate a weak point in this energy barrier that is preventing our travel towards the apex of this temporal anomaly.
