[ WP ] The lottery is an Institution designed to catch Time Travelers .

R - `` It's nice to meet you too Ms. Daniels. As far as how my employment with the department has been going, I have to say I'm really disappointed. I thought it was going to be a lot more exciting, and it feels like I could just as easily be replaced by a mid level AI.'' 
 
 Ms. D - `` Oh really? Would you care to elaborate?'' 
 
 R - `` Well, I've been stuck in the lottery unit for three years now, and the whole `` woah time-travel cop'' has quickly worn off, replaced with the daily boredom of making a bunch of spreadsheets. I became a `` defender of reality'' to have epic battles and be a time traveling hero, but in this unit you never see any real action. The closest I've gotten to being able to use my gun was some lanky ass schizophrenic in a labcoat who tried to run, but before I could drop him, the idiot caught the side of the door frame and knocked himself out cold. 
 
 Why are we even interested in these fucks? Anyone important is going to come from the future, and those guys already know all about us monitoring the lotteries; we just prey on the sad, smelly, hikkimori scientists from the past who managed to figure out how to travel on their own, under our radar. 
 
 And for what? Every time we change the past a new bunch of them are created and the lottery, Nazi, and religion units are constantly busy rounding them up. Of course sometimes normal people win the lottery by pure chance, but when we go back in the same timeline and alter the numbers; only naive time traveling idiots continue to win.''

 It just seems so pointless... I mean, the government is just going to change the timeline anyway when the next major disaster inevitably comes. Starting the endless cycle of paperwork all over again. 
 
 Ms. D - `` I understand, but you still are defending reality, without you guys all of those mad scientists would change the roots of our reality and they could even hurt the government if they ever became aware enough to hide.'' 
 
 R - `` I know, I know.... It's just ( sigh ), I guess could I just have some of my duty split with the Nazi group? At least they see some action every once and a while.'' 
 
 Ms. D - `` I do n't see why that would be a problem. Your one of our top workers and I would n't want you to burn out too quickly''
