Being a Time Agent was a bit of a juggling act. Not a lot of privacy, since so many factions monitored his actions, reactions, correspondence, scanned and so on. It was a matter of safety, as well as a mystery, as no particular group had a monopoly on all the data, or if they did, they could hide it from themselves for their own benefit.
It gave a bit of wiggle room for not being perfectly in sync with everything else. It also allowed for a more interesting connection scheduling. It wasn’t just for his benefit. There’s a lot that could be learned from having to break out of the routine.
There was a few places he could go to make things ‘public’ and this was one of them.
Public and well read were two different things however and he didn’t know how long any particular hint or breadcrumb would have to last before it was found. He knew that if it was the will of anyone in charge, it would be used when most useful.
He prepared to make another report to the AI which served as an intermediary between him and the other groups scattered throughout time and station. It was a good source of feedback, if it was being helped, as the superficial value of it was insignificant. Or so it might appear...
