“Not when you’re trained to know what to avoid. I was a Time Agent for years. But this was after my uh… retirement. There was a bit of tech stashed there that really shouldn’t have been there. A weapon. You two might be familiar with the type. You might say it fits in the palm of your hand. Anyhow, I slipped in, retrieved the anomaly and proceeded to sell it to the highest bidder. Of course, the Time Agency tends to BE the highest bidder in these cases. Which is the best part of that kind of deal. Make them look like incompetents and walk away with their money. Of course they didn’t know it was broken until after they bought it. Just as well, it still didn’t belong there.”
