KATHRYN: We don't know anything new. We do have a new theory, though.
KATHRYN: If Object 4118-6 is a Matrioshka Brain with is tens, or hundreds of millions of years old, we can safely assume that it's much smarter than we are.
It follows, then, that if 4118-6 is behind the events we've followed, their plan is still in place, and we have neither impeded nor revealed any of it.
CDRE TAGON: So, "They're too smart, they already won, let's find out how fast the ship will go?"
ENNESBY: Devastatingly restated, Commodore.
