Right. Our job was to preserve what they called the "sacred timeline." Supposedly the one true path reality was supposed to take. Which meant pruning variants--versions of people who went 'off script', resetting timelines, and making sure people did what they were supposed to. All in the name of preventing multiversal collapse.
That was a lie. We were being used. Somebody--I don't know how--wanted that one true timeline, for their own reasons, and used variants from culled timelines to work the TVA.
Hell of a thing to find out the job you've been doing for literally forever wasn't what you thought it was.
