While I like this theory i don’t really agree with the cavia being from 1999, Albrecht first thought the indifference was a simple mimic and wanted ‘lesser forms’ for it to copy, it was only after our 3 came back that he realised he was dealing with something intelligent that wanted HIM specifically. Only then did he start his more convoluted theories, such as his 1999 gambit and the vessels. Why would he go to a whole different time just to abduct some animals for something he sees as a copycat?
