I just want to make one big score--on the temporal probability market, of course--before the end of the school year. Something entirely unpredictable, but a sure thing. And I'm tired of the racket and the app and the rigged set ups. I want something clean, and true. A real TP upset. Something NOBODY could see coming.

How can we make that happen?

Today I witnessed a case of TPT (Temporal Probability Tampering). There was a cluster of jobs around a particular address so there were a good number of us there (you can always pick us out of a crowd/takes one to know one).

You never know for sure where the fall-line is on a job—the intended direction of action. You just play your small part. You've got no idea how things are supposed to turn out.

But this time a bunch of us got flummoxed — when you can’t complete the job because there's been such a big disruption of the action you can't even perform your small part.

This one was caused by the insertion of a large No-beast in the lobby of a bank. It affected everybody's path, even though they couldn't see it. Well, all us jobbers sure could see it.

Anyway, something like that doesn't just show up--it was planted in a contested temporality zone. Which means TPT.

So I reported it. I'm sure we all did. You do it in the app. No idea what happens after that (they keep it all secret for privacy reasons).

So it sounds like I'd have a better chance of influencing Temporal Probability if I just started doing jobs for them on the app? I suppose there are rules about not betting on the outcomes you're directly influencing, right? Because if not that would be weird. Right?

Yeah I'd be interested in getting to this Temporal Probability Control Room @Olive Black. So you're saying we could sneak in and... set everything up just like we want it? Temporal Probability-wise? Because I know just how we ought to set it up....

Betting in the school's underground temporal futures market is really tricky. Sure, on one hand, you're up against precogs and sooth sayers and the like, but on the other hand you're up against the time-machine crews who are always looking to flip the script. Sometimes you'll lose a bet that you won two weeks ago.
