2017 or 2018?[[edit source]]
Is there any indication that this story takes place in 2018? I see from the history revision that "The Shining Man was set in October 2017 meaning that six months after places this story in 2018.".
However, Bill and the Doctor arrived in October 2017 through time-travel. Also, if anything, The Shining Man would point us towards believing this story is still in 2017. Bill mentions that the MeadowPhone 3 were coming out in August, and from the dialogue, it was understood that, from Bill's perspective, they still hadn't come out. This would give us enough space for the Monks to come on Earth, start their invasion and be defeated, all before the events of The Shining Men.
