Silik had no choice but to warn Humanity about the United Federation of Planet's History and hope they would start over with that knowledge before the Jem'Hadar invaded their past in larger numbers.

Silik had come to this time after the Xindi attacked the Humans and was ordered to build the Temporal Sled Prototypes for the Humans in case Captain Jonathan Archer failed. While the NX-01 Enterprise stopped the Xindi Threat, the Temporal Enforcement Commission prevented the Eugenics Wars from happening and the whole Suliban Cabal was sent back in time to keep an eye on them.

Silik tried to protect Humanity so the Vulcans would still make First Contact with them and help repair the timeline for the Suliban Cabal.

When the Jem'Hadar fleets started showing up, the Suliban Helix defended the Humans in the year 2010 with their lives and now 17 years later Silik knows that he needs Captain Archer of the Enterprise to save Starfleet from being erased from the Temporal Wars for good!
