- Readings indicate that the vessel is a Freedom-class starship. These rudimentary ships were typically operated by Starfleet during the 22nd century. The ship is most certainly not of this time.

- Now, if you’re quite finished with the drama, I’d like to make sure that we get out of this encounter in one piece. Those Freedom-classes may be old, but they pack a punch.

- Ah, the Progenitors! A little bit before my time, but I’ve heard wonderful things about them. How prescient of them to think of mapping time itself.

- Protocol Origin has analyzed fluctuations in the time vortex. Analysis suggests corruption has occurred across five distinct timelines. Failure to correct these unraveling timelines could prove disastrous.

- Following the activation of Protocol Origin, our abilities to travel to and interact with other timelines will be augmented. We will need to personally oversee the corrections of these corrupted timelines.

- You see, I’ve recently become hopelessly adrift in a sea of boredom – an unfortunate state that the omnipotent and the immortal tend to find themselves in from time to time.

- Straightforward, aren’t we? You’ll be asking me my age, height and weight next. And didn’t anyone tell you not to interrupt? Now, where was I…

- Ah, yes… As I reflected on the infinity of time itself, I couldn’t help but become transfixed on the inner workings of it all.

- Dialogue
- So I thought, “What better way to sate your curiosity than going straight to the source?” One little trip across time and space was all that it took to bring me to the time vortex.

- Character
- Trelane
- Dialogue
- I thought that by understanding the workings of the time vortex, I could understand time itself. The curiosity ate away at me like a parasite. I had to look deeper into the vortex. I had to know.

- Next thing I know, timelines are unravelling and the vortex, it… It almost seemed like it knew I was there. Like I had angered it somehow.

- And with that, the time vortex opened up a rift and spat me out. That’s when you came along.

- Your interference with the time vortex could have caused multiple distortions across a myriad of timelines. If we do not remedy this issue, the consequences could be catastrophic.

- How delightfully ominous. I don’t normally make a habit of following strangers back home. But if you think that you can put this right, I’ll make an exception for you. Lead the way!

- Target disabled. We have successfully managed to push the Freedom-class vessel back into the temporal rift. They should be able to make it back to their own time in order to call for assistance.

- Dialogue
- We take no pleasure in cruelty, Trelane. Now, we must insist that you disembark from our ship so that we may focus on closing this temporal rift.

- Trelane
- Dialogue
- Well, actually, I’m afraid I might have something to do with that. In fact, I was just mulling over how to clean up this little mess when you just happened to show up.

- I don’t think we have time to get into that now. It looks like there’s another ship emerging from the rift.

- Commander, Trelane’s assessment is correct. Our sensors have detected a Romulan ship emerging from the rift.

- Dialogue
- Ah, yes, I know this design well. Still on the primitive side, but more than capable of getting the better of you. If you thought the Freedom-class was hostile, just wait until you get a load of these guys.

- Dialogue
- However, the emergence of ships from both the 22nd and 23rd centuries would suggest that this temporal rift does not lead to one potential fixed point in time, but several.

- My internal codebase contains several references to a “time vortex”. According to these references, the time vortex is postulated to be the nexus of all known timelines.

- Yes, that’s the one! You seem to know your stuff. I’d like to delve into this further, but it looks like another guest has decided to join our little party. I think you know what to do by now, Commander.

- Commander, our Station’s sensors have detected a stream of tachyon particles emanating from a source situated within the local system. This could indicate a potential space-time fracture.

- Space-time fractures are typically associated with temporal distortions. These anomalies are known to be potential byproducts of time travel or other interferences with spacetime.

- It is imperative that we further investigate this matter as soon as possible. If someone, or something, is interfering with spacetime, then it is our responsibility to prevent them from doing so.

- I have obtained a set of coordinates that will lead us to the source of the tachyon particle stream. We should lay in a course.
