4 January was notable for a number of highly varied events on Earth and its parallels:
 * 1969 - US Defence Forces went into Def Con 2, the "highest state of alert short of outright war", after an attack on a United States Air Force base by the Revolution Man. (PROSE: Revolution Man)
 * 1979 - Phil Tyson was born at 3:50 PM. The Vandosians believed that Shogalath had reincarnated in his body. (COMIC: Mr Nobody)
 * 2600 - Bernice Summerfield arrived on the planet Kasagrad and took rooms at "Piccolini's". (PROSE: The Doomsday Manuscript)
