The Interloper saved the universe
>!First: don't hate me! I love the nomai and am sad that they ended so tragically. However, i am struck by how easy it was for me to break spacetime using the technology that they had developed. This thought occured to me once during gameplay, and came back again today when I read a post about setting up smaller time loop intervals daisy chained together.!<
>!See, the nomai were very wise, but they weren't without flaw. They seem downright reckless sometimes with their technology development. I think this view is canon even, evidenced by the apprehension around the sun station. they're well intentioned, but they do like to experiment and were dealing with some very powerful technologies.!<
>!Another quality of the nomai is that they are tenacious. They absolutely would have tried to find ways to combine their technologies to pursue the goal of finding the eye of the universe. We find no writings detailing the risk of spacetime continuum problems, so i do not think they were aware of it. I am now convinced that if the nomai had another generation to work on the problem, someone would have sent something through a short interval black hole, and then NOT sent it through, which would break spacetime.!<
