When the Company became aware of Zoe's history as a time traveller, they were seeking knowledge of what she had learned. Zoe refused to cooperate with them, so the Company engineered her arrest on charges that carried the death penalty, threatening to have her executed unless she could prove she had travelled in time and share the secret of time travel with them.
