You have no idea if there are even people to save to begin with if you truly consider the implications of what we have learned about time travel.

There is no sign that the different timelines exist before we "create them" by splitting the timeline through time travel. To go back to Elpis and avert the calamity could potentially be you creating a whole new reality just to save that reality from a calamity you technically created by splitting the timeline, and you dont even know if you can truly save their timeline or not, or whether they will suffer more in the future.

My earlier post says this is a can of worms you dont want to open for a good reason.
