They've been there for almost a decade and soon it will be time to leave. In the meantime they've been procuring gold and sending it to the future-and sharing limited information to these people in the past. Another big business is giving tours to modern day sight-seers. But why aren't they concerned that they'll change the future? Because each time they open a portal to the past it establishes a new reality, a new Earth.
