I remain unconvinced… Is there anything you can say to prove your worth, Commander? Why should I trust you?

We have been able to verify a match with the wreckage you found of our ship. Now, tell me this, Commander… How did you come across this debris?

There are signs of phaser damage. Who was responsible for the destruction of my vessel?

Captain, this may be difficult to hear, but it was us. We were forced to defend ourselves. Your previous incarnation refused to listen and opened fire on us…

I would never open fire on a ship without good reason. And now, here in this system, we have no indication of your intentions.

The paradox, Captain Wilson. It is your ship. When the Newton is destroyed, we believe that the tachyon radiation in the surrounding systems dissipates.

It then triggers a collapse of the Singularity Apex due to the concentration of chroniton particles there. Time… has nowhere to go. So it reverts, and brings you back. The cycle repeats.

This theory of yours is farfetched, Doctor, but it correlates with some of our findings. We have had shipwide issues due to excess tachyon radiation in our warp engines.

No time – Captain. Listen to me. This is imperative. We have wreckage from your ship in our cargo bay, at least a previous incarnation of it.

We will transport the wreckage to you. I have a plan to break you from this loop, but you need to trust us. We need you and your crew to follow us. Will you meet us in the Sotavi system?

I feel that this may be a mistake, but we will at least entertain the notion that you are telling the truth. Send over the wreckage, give us time to analyze it. We will speak again in Sotavi.

My theory on resolving the paradox is that the Newton will need to fly directly into the apex itself. In order to get there, we first need to position ourselves for safe passage.

Yes. In fact, I believe it is imperative that we bring the Newton with us. The wreckage from our last encounter may prove invaluable in persuading them to join us.
