Hello, intrepid Interns. This is just a friendly reminder that your debate on the ethics and dilemmas of time travel is this Wednesday, so you'll want to pay extra attention to your classes on maintaining the timeline, temporal law, and paradox risks in the coming days.

Before I came to work with TEA, I spent over a decade as a Time Bandit, which gives me a unique perspective on these topics. Feel free to ask me anything on this post in the name of research and I'll do my best to answer honestly.

Do you want to play Devil's Advocate or should I? I'm happy to do it but it does feel a little on the nose.

Sébastien & Theun

Do either of you know why Teddy doesn't like Gus?

why’d you join up?

[boucle]

I turned myself in because I wasn't interested in living as a fugitive anymore, and I was orphaned from the timeline. I joined the intern program because it was the most interesting and challenging work available to me in this time.

Constance.

[tedora]

This is a very bold choice.

Teddy/Constance.

[boucle]

I don't mind talking about it.

[einar]

She also knows her shit so take this seriously newbies

[boucle]

A valuable testimonial.

Are there many reasons to like him.

I was going to say something like I thought Teddy was the kind of girl who liked everyone, but... I mean.

She could probably find something in there.

[…] This is helpful. Thank you.

If you were able to change something and no one else remembers what you changed because the ripple effect was so severe, do you think you could be held liable for the consequences?

[boucle]

Maybe not by TEA, but anyone looking to make changes to the timeline has to be prepared to take the responsibility of the outcome on themselves. I'd argue that's a heavier weight to carry than any bureaucratic consequences, anyway. The unfortunate thing many of us come to realize is that it's much easier to make things worse than it is to make them better, even if your intentions are noble.

[tamotsu]

A unique perspective.

[boucle]

Do you disagree?

maurie.

[marisoling]

hey.

[otttto]

[...] do you regret it?

[boucle]

I would've died otherwise, so I suppose I don't regret it in a big picture sense.

[logiquement]

Not an intern but I think it's cool as hell that you're so open about this

[boucle]

Thank you.

[timedout]

over a decade? and how long have you been here now?

[boucle]

I joined last summer and just finished my intern program.

[bernardino]

do you think time travel should be less exclusive

[boucle]

No, I don't.

[mallodrama]

Do we get to come and support?

[boucle]

Are you going to be disruptive?

[horometry]

I appreciate the advanced notice.

What was your motivation to become a [...] Time Bandit?

[boucle]

I was adopted into the lifestyle, but when I decided to go it alone it was because I was interested in the time period I chose to live in. It was an era of considerable technological acceleration and political instability. The sort of point in time when a very small change could have significant effects. That fascinated me.

[coureuse]

A time bandit!

[boucle]

And a very disreputable one at that.

[jackscrew]

You could have joined us much earlier. The offer was there.

[boucle]

I remember.

Let’s switch it up! You for sure have a unique perspective on it which will be great for challenging their assumptions if you’re playing it straight.
