         The Stainless Steel Rat was born in 2500 the most notorious outlaw of the 25th century which was a period during which the collective empire reached its peak like an empire comprising different star systems with intelligent life oh united through room or technology the human race was the dominant race in the 25th century but there were 29 other sentiment creatures throughout the empire,

         He was half-human and have a Reptilian shapeshifter from Sirius. He was known throughout the Galaxy as the “Stainless Steel Rat” and a folk hero Robin Hood of the 25th Century, and was wanted everywhere because he mocked the corrupt political and business elites of the Galactic Empire and was widely popular among the vast lower classes of the Galaxy and had quite a following and was seen as a potential revolutionary leader according to Cosmos the Emperors secret AI mastermind.

         He broke out of prison and stole a Time Machine which was illegal technology, and traveled back to 19th century America, where he became known as Wild Bill Hitchcock.

         Sam Adams was a junior agent for the Time Lords, the secret masters of time whose job was to police the timeline to prevent unauthorized time travelers from going back in time and changing the past and thus the future. His boss, the mysterious Maria Lee, was a shape-shifter reptilian from the planet Sirius. She was abrupt and aloof and did not like anyone asking too many questions. She gave you the assignment, answering only process-related questions, but refused to explain why the assignment was given.

         One day she summoned him to her office and as usual, barked out his new assignment.

{font: times} "Okay, Sam, you are going to the 19th century, Earth to assassinate The Stainless-Steel Rat who has fled to the Wild West and assumed the identity of a famous criminal Wild Bill Hitchcock. He died during a poker game when he won and was accused of cheating. His winning cards were a full house, two black aces, and three eights. You need to read up on the history of the period, learn how to play poker and learn how to hang out with cowboys and western folks circa the 1880s. You will be inserted into Deadwood a week before the event and befriend Wild Bill Hitchcock. To make it easier to blend in your cover will be that you are a British newspaper writer doing a tour of the Wild West. You will join in the game, and shoot him dead. Then get out to the pickup point. Do not get picked up by the local authorities and do not reveal your real mission. Now get studying. You leave in two days.”

         She went on with the standard lecture she gave to all the rookie agents. The time Lords' mission is to preserve the timeline by preventing people from traveling back in time and changing things. Each planetary system had its time lords, but the Time Lords worked together across the galaxy.

         In dealing with time, space, the universe, and multi-verses there were just so many things that could go wrong and it was too complicated for anyone to understand all the ramifications anyway. The bottom line was

         Don’t screw up.”

He went to his room and studied poker, got outfitted like a gunslinger or a Reporter covering the West would have looked like, and practiced his British accent. Then he was ready. He went back to the 19th century and started hanging out with Wild Bill Hitchcock, whom he soon bonded with and decided that he would not kill him after all. Wild Bill was a fun guy to hang out with and besides, Sam was getting tired of being a time lord. Time to do something different with his life he thought.

He had told Will Hitchcock that he was from the future and that someone would try to assassinate him that day. On the appointed day, he was playing cards with six people, including Wild Bill. A man stood up and accused Sam Adams of cheating and attempted to shoot Sam Adams but missed and shot and killed Wild Bill.

         Sam Adams was detained as a witness and as a known acquaintance of Wild Bill Hitchcock.

         Jake Lee, the man who accused Sam Adams of being the cheat, was a time bandit whose job was to track down and assassinate Time Lords. He told Sam while they were in jail that the Time Lords were master criminals and that his organization had been battling them for centuries and offered him a position.

         You see, Sam, the Time Lords work for the Committee that controls all the various planets and works to make sure that corporate interests are always protected, and radical revolutionary changes can never take place. On Earth, they are going to let the corporate interests destroy the planet before evacuating the corporate elites. That is what they do. Come join us and assassinate the Time Lords and their masters the corporate elitists.”

         
Sam Adams found himself back in his time and was charged with violations of timelord rules and regulations, including fraternizing with time bandits, and was fired.

         He called up Jake Lee and asked him if the offer was still good. Jake said,

         Of course.”

         They returned to the future, revived the Stainless Steel Rat who became the CEO of the Time Bandits mafia and continued carrying out his criminal enterprises and thought of creating a revolutionary movement to overthrow the Empire. Sam joined The Stainless Steel Rat’s time bandits the next day and never looked back or regretted it.

inspired by the Stainless Steel Rat character. BING AI provided more info on this character who is one of my favorite characters.

James Bolivar diGriz, also known as “Slippery Jim” and “The Stainless Steel Rat”, is a fictional character in a series of comic science fiction novels written by Harry Harrison1. He is a futuristic con man, thief, and all-round rascal who is charming, quick-witted, and a master of disguise and martial arts. He is also an accomplished bank robber, a criminal mastermind, an expert on breaking and entering, and (perhaps most usefully) a skilled liar1.
The character was introduced in Harrison’s short story “The Stainless Steel Rat”, first published in 1957 in Astounding magazine. The story introduces the Rat, who has just carried out a successful larceny operation, and subsequently details a complex bank robbery the Rat pulls off with ease; however, he is outfoxed by the mysterious “Special Corps”—a crime-fighting organization staffed with former criminals—and recruited by them in order to fight crime1.

The infamous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place on October 26, 1881, in Tombstone Arizona. The incident has become one of the archetypal symbols of the American "Wild West" -- though the actual historical events of the day are rather different than the popularized accounts in subsequent media. For example, it didn't happen at the O.K. Corral!

For tomorrow, write a story or a poem involving a gunfight that occurs in the American "Wild West" of the 19th century. Your choice is whether to do historical realism, alternate history, or a magical/fantasy version of that period. Make sure your reader knows the reason for the fight, the motivation of the participants, and the consequences of the result. One of your genres must be WESTERN.

Due Oct 27th, 2023 before noon, WdC time. === ( Deadline: 17 hours 11 minutes 45 seconds )
