You’re a time cop who’s just saved the day again. After pulling many strings, Command’s authorized you to chill in your favorite era (the 00’s) and take in some concerts. You’ve got a doohickey to warn you if your actions have any impacts on the timestream. Halfway through a Jay-Z/R. Kelly concert, both performers pause to thank Eddie Kipko—the mad genius behind their careers. Curious, you google the nerdy looking cat and discover that he’s signed 9 out of every 10 platinum music acts since Madonna. Eminem, Bieber, Kanye, Rihanna . . . all under 30-year contracts with this guy you’ve never heard of. As Kipko takes the stage (to thunderous applause), you scan him and detect residual tachyon emissions. Shit. Somehow, this time traveler’s ‘jacked the music biz. You rush outside and make to send a message to Command when you feel the barrel of a Glock .70-cal at the back of your head. That particular gun won't be invented for another 20 years.
What happens next?
