The Shield Of Time, PART THREE, p. 135.
Guion to Tamberly:
sometimes the Patrol does not know where the source of a disturbance lies;
the source might lie outside this reality;
the Patrol can only trace the disturbance back toward its source...
The Patrol might find:
(i) a traveller from a later time deliberately or accidentally changing the timeline (Janne Floris finds herself intervening in events);
(ii) a time traveller arrived from an alternative timeline;
(iii) a random quantum event.
(ii) might be treated as a subset of (iii).
If (ii) is a time criminal whose extratemporal intervention has contributed to the causation of the Danellian timeline, then the Patrol has to leave his intervention in place.

Kaor, Paul!
Such worries and complexities can be alarming, if time travel is real! And even if it's not, the idea about how precarious the universe is can be disturbing.
Ad astra! Sean
