have been Orac who caused the change? I mean, at the end of series one he shows the disaster happening to the Liberator/its sister ship, but do you suppose it could really have been the Liberator? And Orac changed the future so that it was its sister ship? Orac says he has infinite knowledge and that the destruction of the ship is an immutable fact, and if he had infinite knowledge he'd know how to cause a reality shift!
I've sometimes wondered if the alien from 'Sarcophagus' was trying to manipulate Orac from as early as 'Shadow'.
