Time Agent

*"If we don't shut these place down, its gonna cause rifts in space and time."*

Time Agent (real name Tom Stallworth) is an agent for T.I.M.E, whose mission is to maintain order in space and time. His boss, Delta V helped him out in many of his missions, including sending him to The Under. Tom's mission was simple: kill The M.C. and shut down The Under. According to Delta V, The Under's existence posed a threat to the entire universe and could potentially rip it apart. Much of this was due to The M.C.'s penchant for playing with time. In the eyes of T.I.M.E. this was unacceptable, as such careless temporal manipulation was turning time into a soggy sandwich.

Tom spent months recruiting Junior Time Agents to aid in his plans. Meetings were kept highly secret on account of the content being discussed. Any info heard by the wrong ears could quickly make its way to The M.C. and ruin his mission before he could finish. For Tom, failure wasn't an option. Agents who failed their missions were sent to black holes by T.I.M.E. so their power could not be used by adversarial agents to further corrupt the flow of time.

The Time Agent loves eating fast food, especially fried chicken legs. Junior Agents would often identify themselves at meetings by wearing a burger hat to indicate their trustworthiness.

### Mission Plans

The Time Agent once appeared at the Underground Pool with a song. He sang of how The Under was causing Space and Time to fall apart, and how The Under needed to be shut down. He gathered his Junior Time Agents in a meeting at the Guts and revealed his various plans. The first was to smash the gold essences and mud essences together in the workshop. The second, to tear a hole in spacetime at one of the areas where sunlight shines down in the Cistern. The third was to set off a potato bomb at the pipes below the Observatory. When all these plans failed, Tom and his Junior Agents resorted to their final plan: opening the boxes in the janitor's closet near the Main Stage.

### Mission Failure and Void Entrapment

Just as Tom and his Junior Agents were about to employ these final plans which would hopefully nuke The Under, they were interrupted by The M.C.'s right hand man, Russel. Using the power of The M.C., the sweeper fought and imprisoned Tom in a black-hole-like void, nearly killed the agent in the struggle. Though Tom had escaped the ordeal with his life, Russel had succeeded in severing the agent's connection with Delta V.

After a period of silence, Tom found a way to briefly escape from his void of torment. He explained how he was nothing more than The M.C.'s slave within the void, continually being tormented in unrelenting agonizing pain. Now free, he desperately sent a communication to Delta V, begging for them to rescue him despite having failed his mission. Unfortunately, Delta V believed the call was a prank. They stated he had been missing and declared dead for 40 thousand years. Distraught, the Time Agent attempted to reason with Delta V, but eventually they hung up on him. Before long, The M.C. discovered his prisoner had escaped and forcibly yoinked Tom back to the void where he remains imprisoned to this day.

### Return?

Tom has been seen in the Waterway, mumbling something about an "escape from pain."
