[Dirk, sitting in his apartment, speaks into the camera. He's got his iconic shades covering most of his face, but even if his eyes aren't visible to express his interiority he speaks with clear, purposeful statements.]

I'd like to check with anyone else out there: I've noticed that the news from yesterday was identical with today's, and all media outlets continue to list today's date as the 22nd, despite the fact that it should be the 24th (if we are going by how much time has chronologically passed). Yesterday I was beginning to get suspicious and so I made an experiment of drawing a shitty face on my arm in permanent pen, and this morning I wake up and it's gone.

There was a movie about this that my best bro was really into for a while called Groundhog Day, about a guy who repeated the same day over and over. I'm starting to think whoever wrote that movie was a fuckin' prophet. I know I'm not imagining it, but I'd like to see if anyone else is experiencing the same phenomenon. Drop me a line, let's sort this shit out.

[The morning of January 22nd dawns unremarkably. A popular radio show plays as it always does, accessible from COMPs and other less fancy devices.]

Good morning, Hinoto-Ri! And thank you for waking up to the 8:00 Daily News.

A bar fight broke out yesterday in the Taurus District, shattering the record four days...[And then, a flicker of static for all those who fall under the sign of Aquarius. A harried, rushed voice comes through. Today it sounds even more urgent.]

Won siht xif ot deen ew! Gnorw lla pu tes era yeht! Skcolc eht!

[Nobody else will note anything unusual, although those who are Gemini and Libra may hear it very very faintly. What is that noise? It sounds like an alien language...

The rest of the news report continues, quite familiar as you've heard it three times by now... what is going on?
