- Fascinating. I can see that the USS Newton was bombarded with tachyon radiation. It's likely a result of the loop, but alternatively, could be causing it…

- We are also able to trace their warp trail echoes when comparing it against the chronitons in this system. Commander… they have repeated the time loop 973,826 times.

- See for yourself, Doctor. Many of these temporal echoes appear to correlate with the Singularity Apex itself. The Newton has been there in the majority of its repeated loops.

- Incredible. If we are able to match our course to theirs, and generate enough power to the warp engines, we may be able to break this energy barrier and reach the Singularity Apex.

- True… Unless we complete the loop without them somehow. We must be prepared for that possibility. Captain Wilson was adamant that I am responsible for the black hole's collapse.

- We may also learn something from inspecting the temporal signature of the debris. I will set a course to trace the warp engine emissions from their previous courses.
