"So, after all of the celebrations died down, was there any real change?"
Dear shrugged. *"Some residual excitement, I suppose. There were some little things that lingered, however, and stuck around. Secession Day, of course, but that is the date that we started using systime in earnest. The actual number chosen as year zero, day zero for systime is almost two years before Secession, and was tied to the creation of the reputation market, such that there was always a time to which it could be synchronized. Before Secession, we still commonly used the calendar they were --- and presumably still are --- using phys-side, but after, almost everyone switched to using systime. It made logical sense, yes, what with sims not being tied to any particular schedule bound by Earth's rotation or procession around the Sun, but also it felt like a sign that we were becoming our own nation. Our own people."*

The table grew quiet after this explanation, as the last bite of pie was eaten and the last fry dipped in the last bit of shake.
