Time Crime

I think, right now, that Salgath Trod is one of them. I think there are other prominent politicians, and business people. Look for irregularities and peculiarities in outtime currency-exchange transactions. For instance, to sections in Esaron Sector obus. Or big gold bullion transactions. Yes. And if they have any really elaborate outtime bases, they'll need equipment that can only be gotten on Home Time Line, Tortha Karf added. Paratemporal conveyer parts, and field-conductor mesh.
