Wang replied, "yes, but, yes, we will only have events that occur only a few seconds, a maximum of a few minutes, before the Reference Point." "Again, you are right," said Harso, "but what if we then make point T minus that much as the next Reference Point, and then repeat the process recursion?"

But it seems like the 'jackpot' that's gonna change our lives for the better. Drowned in thoughts, I wasn't sure when the clock ticked midnight. A glance to the clock got me jumping to my feet. I packed up the plates and deposited them in the kitchen. Second -churning- thoughts crept into my mind about going to my room with Meg. I decided to crash on the couch instead.

"The clock is playing back every second I spent away from you. Every second we spent as monsters. It’s trying to tell us that our time has Run Out" "File 99: The Final Clock," the Liquidator spoke, his voice sounding like a thousand shattering watches. He manifested as a giant, translucent pendulum that swung across the sky, his cyan suit now a blur of moving gears. "Status: Overdue. Recommendation: Immediate Liquidation of the Future. The Star-Child’s record has exceeded the storage capacity of the Loom. We must Truncate the Timeline". "Leo! The Buffer!" I cried out. My son was at the base of the tower, his indigo runes turning a terrifying, surgical blue as he attempted to "Jam" the gears

"The frame is frozen. Move." Lina jammed the USB into the terminal. The monitor flared, washing her face in a ghostly blue glow. "What’s the window on the server reset?" Lina asked. Her pulse was a frantic hammer against her ribs. "3:15 AM sharp," Noah said. "When the bank server resets, the verification logic goes blind for ten seconds. It’s 3:14 and forty-five seconds.
