Ah, Commander. It's a pleasure to meet you. Your computer construct convinced me to observe this potential time loop you've encountered.

The fact that your logs record multiple instances of encountering the same ship support a theory of mine. I believe the USS Newton may be stuck in a localized temporal loop.

There's a concentrated chroniton cloud forming around the sun in the Tovla system. If we cause a controlled detonation, that will give us information on how to suppress the particles.

It's one of the things that helped us reach the stars. How the Vulcans ever allowed us to form the Federation, I have no idea…

Let's try this out, anyway. 250K Dilithium should be enough to trigger a reaction.

Can we eject 250K Dilithium into the sun, Commander?

Curious. I am detecting a stopping point in the flow of the tachyon explosion. Some external force is preventing the particles from flowing in a heading of 871 mark 42…

There is a reading in that direction… It is not a star, but possibly the anomaly responsible for the temporal loop?

I don't believe it will be possible to travel towards it. This force will prevent our entry to the system.

I can see that the effect of the Dilithium explosion is causing a chain reaction in a nearby planetoid. A tachyon surge, perhaps?

I have contacted Doctor Beth Thielen, a professor of quantum physics on Earth. She has agreed to meet with us in the Tovla system.

Tovla is in a similar state of flux to Mina, in that it exhibits the presence of chroniton particles.
