Doctor Thielen, yes, I know who you are. Your experiments have led to the destruction of our galaxy! You've caused all of this to happen.

This has not happened in our timeline, Captain Wilson. We are attempting to prevent the events that have led to your temporal incursions.

Haven't… you're from before the collapse? You mean there's still a chance to reverse the apex's destabilization?

Yes. Please, do not attack this ship. We are trying to help. Let's work together. We will come closer so that we can speak face to face.

Dialogue
Doctor, your experiments at the Singularity Apex result in the collapse of a black hole. The result is devastating. Entire systems of space were dragged into oblivion before our very eyes.

Then you must tell me everything about what happened so we are not doomed to repeat the events of your past.

This paradox is impossible to overcome. Merely acting counter to the Newton's previous actions will result in the cataclysm occurring again.

Your AI is correct. It is destined to repeat. But, we must try!

Come with us to the Nikola system. We may be able to do something different. Or at least learn for a future repeat of the loop…

If we enter the Mina system again, perhaps we will be able to experience the beginning of the time loop.

Yes, I believe that is likely. While the Newton appears to be the ship involved in the loop, it ultimately meets its end when it confronts your ship, Commander.

It would be logical to assume that this will continue to happen and the loop will begin again. Let's try to learn from the mistakes of the past.
