New York 1975 Mission

== Background ==
In 1938, historian Martin Elphinstone wrote a book entitled A Treatise on the Jewish Influence on the City of New York. As of 1974, the only surviving physical copy was held by the New York Public Library, although in 2004 it was scanned electronically, leading to the existence of many digital copies. At the top of page 316, the fifth word was (originally) "commerce".
On February 17th, 1975 - President's Day - the library was closed to public. Due to a scheduling mix-up, there were no security guards on duty that day.
== Infraction ==
=== The Circle ===
As part of the Circle's experiments into ontological paradoxes, Nate Cotter devised a plan to replace the original book in 1975 with a replica that was exactly identical but for the fifth word on page 316 being changed from "commerce" to "trade".
=== Washington Field Team ===
The team were alerted to an infraction in which a 21st century digital camera appeared suddenly in the library, in 1975.
== Mission Outline ==
=== The Circle ===
Nick arrived first and planted a series of cameras which would feed into three laptops. Ethan Taylor, posing as Bill Collins, was to observe the feed while Corley made the actual exchange.
=== Washington Field Team ===
Captain Josh Hannigan and another Agent caught Ethan and captured him, bringing him back to 2020. After interrogation, during which Ethan revealed his true reasons for being with the Circle, Hannigan eventually released Ethan, allowing him to Jump back into the mission and conclude it for the good of the QIA.
== Repercussions ==
The book was successfully replaced, with the future digital copies reflecting the change in wording on page 316.Category:Missions
