This is some speculation on how the WWWA team the 'Lovely Angels', Kei and
Yuri, (better known as the 'Dirty Pair') work.
It has been speculated that the reason they are employed as 'trouble
consultants' is that they have some psychic powers, which help them out in
cases, this power being shown on one of their cases...
The secret is in fact something else, they can not fail!
The logic to this is that they manipulate probability, sucking 'luck' out of
their surroundings and into themselves, so the more pressure they are put
under, the more luck they absorb to survive, and the more unlucky their
surroundings get. So they can not fail, as they will get as lucky as they
need to to succeed, but if they need to absorb that much luck...
So really, it is not their fault, but the
Central Computer's, as it knows what the consequences
are likely to be of sending them in, but what happens in
consequence is calculated as being less worse than the
consequences of not sending them in.
