Blackpool

Since James became tall enough to ride most of them, the number of roller coasters that Tyson has been dragged onto has increased exponentially.

Tyson feels oddly proud and yet somehow betrayed at the way Jethro weaponises his son to get Tyson to agree to things.

Usually, they’ll meet in Blackpool for the day: a comfortable mid-point in travel for them both, from Cumbria and London. First to the Sandcastle Waterpark, picnic lunch on the beach, then into the Pleasure Beach (themepark), a break for fish and chips on the pier, before driving out to see the Blackpool Lights; on route to drop Tyson back at the train station.

Tyson isn’t afraid of any of the rides, but he does become antsy on longer rides, feeling caged in and wanting to escape. He also does his best to avoid any that involve getting wet out of principle.

Calling Retreat

Though Tyson is never afraid to make a call when assigned a job by the Moriarty Mirrors, he is also one of the last to call for a full retreat.

He knows that many employees will hold off on calling a retreat at all, fearing the consequences of failing the Moriarty Mirrors, but no matter how servile Tyson maybe, when he is tasked with an assignment he will act to the best of his judgement and refuses to buckle from what he believes. It’s why he’s an asset to the Moriarty Mirrors in the first place.

Instead, Tyson’s lack of full retreats comes from his more cautious approach and meticulous planning. He will gladly pull out before being an offensive, replan, and approach once more a dozen times before committing if that is what is needed.

He also isn’t afraid to approach again when a temporary retreat is forced, rather than abandoning the job completely. Tyson is the furthest from reckless, but he knows how to use confusion and panic as weapons in his favour. Once a retreat is forced, few would expect the next assault to follow immediately.

Rather than letting the dust settle, Tyson uses it as cover.
