These books are set in the Uplift Universe, where each intelligent species was uplifted from pre-sentient (animal) intelligence to spacefaring level - since the days of the Progenitors. Except Humans, the wolflings of Earth, for whom no one has found the Patrons.
This timeline is just a part of the full Uplift Timeline. There are three Uplift Timelines:
Like my other timelines, I have put some arrows to help the reader follow some characters. However, I decided to represent uncertainty by a color code, from green, representing a direct quote from the canon, to red, when the canon can only give an approximate date. Or: Error > 100 Days, Error 10-99 Days, Error 1-9 Days, Error 1-23 Hours, Exact Day and Hour.
I am going to add another hypothesis: that Streaker follows regular 12-hour shifts. There are enough hints that corroborate this hypothesis in Chapters 3, 10, 19, etc. The only problem would be with Akki only knowing about Creideiki's accident in his next shift - because Akki would be in his shift during Creideiki's accident. This can be solved if we suppose that the accident happened close to 18:00 GMT, then Akki left his shift without knowing about the accident, and then someone found Creideiki.
