Temporal Interventionist Tom and his implanted assistant Jeannie are at the start of the
American Revolution, a decidedly TI-crowded time, when they run into Tom’s love interest
Pam, another TI from Tom’s future who is trying to figure out who fired the first shot.
The steath-suited TI leveled a weapon, then droped as a stun charge hit. Moments later
the other TI weo’d fired the stun charge fell, then two more TIs appeared and took out
whoever had nailed the second TI. But then the stealth-suited TI reappeared, having
recovered somewhen in the future and jumped back to try to finish the job.
