Replaced During Apparent Transport

"Faked Up"

Numerous criminals claim they are innocent people, worthy of rescue, and then arrange for themselves, not those innocent people, to be transported, and effectively rescued.

Then those criminals often claim those people who really, rightfully, would have been rescued, are merely automated bodies left behind, or even that they are individuals who are impersonated those who were falsely rescued, in order to inspire rescues of their own, and are therefore dangerous time traveling criminals that need to be eliminated, thus ensuring that the real criminals' deceptions go undiscovered.
