There's no telling what had happened 4973 years since the place told us there was a system breach and it needed help. There's no telling what would happen another 4973 years after we sent communications back. 50,000 years from now, once you get there and wake up from cryo, there's no telling what the place would look like, there's no telling if you could come back at all.  All we know is that the thing that asked for help isn't what's supposed to do that. We also know that the thing turned itself on. The thing was supposed to populate the planet it's on once it could be populated. We'll be dead once you get there so you're on your own. Use your own judgement if the thing did it job properly, or badly. Use your own judgement if the thing should be destroyed or not. -Final briefing prior to the departure of the 1st Inspection Expedition.
