Hard slog and routine.

In the late 24th century scientists had perfected a form of time travel.

It would send your consciousness back in time along your families own timeline leaving your body in the present in a form of temporal stasis.

Which would allow you to experience the past for a short period of time depending on the state and health of the body you landed in.

It wasn't long before the criminals decided to use this technology for their own nefarious deeds and the past became the best place for wanted criminals to hide  from the law and justice.

So the government set up the temple bounty hunters they would send them back in time along their own family timeline until they could find a trace of where the criminals were hiding and would flush them out as anybody sent back in time gave off a quantum signature & it was just a matter of detecting it.

Bounty hunter William Thomas was sent back in time to track down a murderer and to bring back his consciousness for trial and punishment as the government already had his body in cold storage.

But that did not matter as they could convict your consciousness without your body as your consciousness would be placed into a donor body of somebody who was legally brain dead.

William Thomas hated this part as he woke up cold and naked on the morgue table with his brains still feeling slightly scrambled as he waited for his limbs to respond.

He was now back in 1984 and according to the clipboard he was in the body of Stephanie Williams his great great great great great great great great great aunt who had just died due to a brain tumor and had only been legally dead for 1 hour.

It was not normal practice to place consciousnesses into a dead body but as long as that body has not been dead for more than 2 hours they could reanimated temporarily & according to his last scan the person he was after was not far away.

As he climbed unsteadily off the mortuary table looking around for anything he could put on as his temple wristband started bleeping directions informing him that the suspect was only two floors up.

As he pulled the white sheet over himself and started heading in the direction the wristband was indicating as it reminded him he only had 48 hours in that body as doctors and nurses stared at the half naked woman running through the hallway from the mortuary.
