"It was strange, yes, although the truth compulsion day was only the second event here, so it was less notable until they continued on without a followup. Even then, though, the zombies were only a few days later, not a couple weeks. There's definitely a pattern, even if it's not a very strict one."

She frowns thoughtfully. She doesn't have her notes to hand, not expecting to need them, but she's gone over it recently enough, especially after the oddity of the switch, that she knows without having to look it up. "The events occur about a month apart, with margin of a week or so on either side. It's about a thirty day baseline, although it's never been exactly thirty days, so the average shifts from event to event. It's odd, though, because the first swap was only twenty days after the language translation, which made the second swap thirty-three days afterward, almost like the first one was bumped a little early so the last one could be closer to the rough timeline."
