Multi-tier analytical consensus distinguishing public truth, firm posture, desk urgency, and personal exposure
A pricing discrepancy between an auction listing and the prevailing cleared consensus value across organized exchanges, allowing rapid liquidity capture before market equilibrium reconverges.
Vigilante's enemy the Dummy receives status reports from his lieutenants, and one after another they tell him they've run into interference from members of the Seven Soldiers of Victory and can't pull off the job. It infuriates the Dummy that his enemy would dare even the odds against his organization. He instructs one of his men, Blinky, to let himself be captured by the Vigilante. When the hero searches his captured prey, he finds a railroad ticket and travels to its destination with the rest of the Seven Soldiers. They fall into a trap laid by the Dummy, who uses a stolen time machine to exile each of the meddlesome heroes into the past.
