 * Jason remembers dying in the explosion. Benny is with Doggles - they got together in Match of the Deity - except they didn't.

Searching for Peter

 * AUDIO: Brand Management


 * AUDIO: Bad Habits


 * PROSE: The Weather on Versimmon


 * AUDIO: Empress of the Drahvins
 * Only features Ruth and Benny, and nothing about Legion.


 * AUDIO: Paradise Frost
 * It's taken 1Benny and Ruth six months to get to Legion. So it's 2616 or 2617 now.

Living on Legion

 * AUDIO: Vesuvius Falling
 * It's been four years since Peter was abandoned by Benny. Even if it's 2616, they were last together in 2612. The discrepancy could be down to the post-Deindum redraft of history.

 * AUDIO: Shades of Gray
 * The first flashback sequence is about a year after November 2616, so it is late 2617 at least now.

 * AUDIO: HMS Surprise
 * Wednesday, the 9th of April 2618 was just over a year ago. Actually that'll be a Thursday, but maybe the calendar changes. More importantly, we know it's 2619 and that Legion Advent isn't at the same time as Christmas.


 * AUDIO: The Curse of Fenman
 * 2Benny and Jack were remapped into the space year 2613 from Atlantis. Apparently 1Benny was already awake that year, which makes no sense.
