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.

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

Who are you thinking is most likely to defect to the time bandits?

i wasn't thinking anyone will. i just don't think she's anymore likely than anyone else to change her mind about this.

It does not seem out of the realm of possibility that at some point Constance will no longer wish to deal with being forced to work within rules that she has little regard for, and she has the connections to be able to rejoin the bandits.

everything she said here says that she's not interested in rejoining them. that she doesn't believe it's right to.
