Rule notes

Official Runlings:

This interrupt is not a valid response to battle or a dilemma, and may not be used to "escape" them. It may not target a docked ship or carried ship. See actions - step 2: responses.

Cards may not be played on a ship in a Temporal Rift, and you may not discard a Space-Time Portal to return the ship to hand. A card in a Temporal Rift is in play for uniqueness only; it is not in the present, so cards like Anti-Time Anomaly cannot affect it. Countdown effects and icons, such as Plasma Fire or Ketracel-White, also do not count down while a ship is in a Temporal Rift. The same rules also apply to a ship affected by a Time Travel Pod. See time travel, Black Hole.
