It's strange to have free time. Tim's taking six courses, working, and patrolling, but he still has more time than he did at home. There's no villain on the loose, or case to solve. There were strange things going on, but there was also a case of too many cooks in the kitchen, so to speak. Plenty of people were around with the skills and will to use them to help out others.

So, Tim focused on an extra-curricular activity of sorts. Eventually, something would come along and require a massive network of people to solve. It was just the way the world worked where he was from. There was an ever escalating scale of danger. He wanted to be prepared if life held true with the same lemons in the Quarantine. Hence, his trip to see Cisco Ramon. He was starting with all the allies he could find from home. Hopefully, once he'd made contact with all of them they could find people they mutually trusted to begin expanding the network with.

Tim knocks politely and waits to see if Cisco is in his lab.
