SilverFox seems to have a lot of clout/power compared to the other travelers. No one seems to undo SF’s edits, so I’m guessing there’s more than just a hierarchy of trust there, but that SF has some kind of actual power to incapacify other travellers.
I’m guessing it’s not a master reset switch (like the film Primer), since they have to physically go there and extricate the assailants physically. I’m guessing it’s some kind of physical power, or at least meticulous planning in grabbing the assailants before they commit the crime.
SilveFox makes it sound easy though, like herding children at best, so I’m thinking more along the lines of some kind of extra power/tech to teleport too(?) which would facilitate the placement of certain items (goats, olive oil, etc.) and give them a huge upperhand in grabbing travellers who probably have to do some degree of walking.
Or maybe SF’s device can travel multiple times, whereas other users have to use it more sparingly, limiting the damage they can do
Oh wow, I had no idea Predestination was based on this Heinlein story. I had a low opinion of Heinlein before this, but can now say that he was less regressive than I credited him

Everyone kills Hitler on their first trip.
Seriously tho, he’d likely be replaced with another extremist. It was period of Iron boot dictators in Europe. You could get someone even worse.

The fact that this is posted on a Fiero forum is hilarious to me! My first car.
Wonderful read
This was such a good read, although I must say please keep all time travel related posts to the “time travel shenanigans” subsection, come on guys.
I would go back to the '70s with a case of hair conditioner. It would revolutionize rock’n’roll.
