Video; backdated to the 6th (after the log)

Hey uh, I was thinking for a while...

And I think we should probably call the date here Tower Time or something. See, I was thinking about when I left home... which was in October my time. Now it's October again.

So my birthday is in June, but I kinda did some math. So my birthday is... [He holds up some <s>really complex math calculations</s> math problems. At the bottom and circled is November 21st.] Yeah, so... if nothing happened it'd be spring '86 back home for me. Which means all this temporal crap shifted everything and now I'm turning 18 on November 21st here in the Tower.

Guess I just kinda wanted to get things straight...

But anyway, I help if you want to know your Tower Time birthday.

[Marty seems preoccupied with this birthday idea. Hey, at least he's trying to get into this temporal thing. Maybe actually help the doc with the science.]

...That's awful confusin'.

Huh? How? I understand it fine...

Well yeah, mathematically it makes plenty a' sense. But ain't it kinda tricky to just deal with havin' a whole different birthday?

Well, it isn't really different, it's more like converting it into a really way out timezone.

...Way outta what?

[LABRYS...]

Alignment I guess. Months instead of hours or days.

Oh--yeah, I guess that'd make sense. Much as anythin' does make sense when you're talkin' about this kinda thing.

You don't have to do it if you don't want to... it's just an idea.

I'd like to, but I ain't got a clue what the date was when I got here.

Oh... I could do a general ballpark if you know what month?

[She doesn't normally do the video function. It confuses her. But this... she couldn't sum up her expression of "dear lords of Hell and everything unholy why" with simple text]

What.

Huh?

"Tower Time" birthday? I would have never thought a human to have too much time on their hands.

Oh. All I got to say is there's not a lot to do here. Besides, turning eighteen, that's pretty important.

Oh? And why would such an age be so important, hm?

[Hold on here... he frowns slightly at her.]

Because then I can say I'm no longer a kid.

[Oh. Oh. She started to smile, half seductive and half predatory] I see.

[Frown frown frown. IS THAT WHAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS.]

...Yeah.

Are you... new here by any chance?

I haven't been here long. But it's been... quite interesting.

Oh yeah, I guess that makes sense...

And yourself? Are you new to this tower?

No, not really. I've been here five, six months.

Hmm. Perhaps you could show me around a bit. [Her voice dropped to a purr, inviting]

Uhhh... I... uhh I've got to [Have some awkward flailing with his papers on the terminal there.] I've got to go.

[She laughed, actually amused] Of course, little one. Do remember what I said. [Here, she paused, slightly awkward] I would truly enjoy another viewpoint of this tower.

Uh... uh... sure, yeah. I'll do that.

[ Haha it laughs at your pitiful calculations--only not really, instead have a helpful robot telling you the PROPER "Tower Time" Date. After it's done that... ]

... We are able to calculate any change between planetary timezone to "Tower" functions. It is better to function on a Galactic Timescale--this way, all times are aligned no matter what planet or system you are in. The same could also work for those here in "Tower".

[Blank. Stare.]

...but aren't we talking about time across multiple universes, not just galactic?

[ THEY SURE ARE. And this is Legion not being at all daunted. ]

On a universal scale, it would be wiser to go system by system. To calculate a planetary timescale a sun and orbit will be necessary. However, we have noted that many worlds are variants of Earth or similar. To those worlds, it is a simple matter of getting a baseline of their Calendar and time mapping functions.

Once recorded, it could easily be applied to a Universal "Tower" Time and Date.

[Marty's just going to lay his head down on the desk and sigh.]

[ It's confused. Why are you sighing? ]

Is this not a helpful proposition to the time management issue?

Maybe? But everyone comes from a different time, it'd have to be calculated per person...
