Nightstalkers are the elite Special Ops unit that take care of the things that go bump in the night; and worse. They correct the mistakes of scientists. They’re also a little bit crazy and a long way outside the bell curve, and not necessarily on the good end. And in Time Patrol, they transition from being Nightstalkers to becoming the Time Patrol.
