When [[Maxie Masters]]' [[time detector]] seems to pick up temporal anomalies around the [[Bank of England|Bank of London]], [[Giles (When to Die)|Giles]] phones [[Scotland Yard]] to "give them a heads' up". Sure enough, the police capture a man who wasn't showing up on the security camera footage — a member of [[Faction Paradox]] by the name of [[Cousin (rank)|Cousin]] [[Perdix]]. Deeming the suspect "too weird", they then call P.R.O.B.E. back, asking that they handle the interrogation instead of the conventional forces. Before Giles heads out for that meeting, however, he sits down to record a video diary. Just after he's completed it, time seems to wind back as history is rewritten by Perdix. | When [[Maxie Masters]]' [[time detector]] seems to pick up temporal anomalies around the [[Bank of England|Bank of London]], [[Giles (When to Die)|Giles]] phones [[Scotland Yard]] to "give them a heads' up".

In a second iteration of the recording of the same video diary for the 28th of March, 2021, Giles now reports on a state of investigation where the strange temporal activity has not been pinpointed to the Bank of London. However, even in this timeline, Maxie still manages to link the broad locations of the abnormal temporal activity with sightings of "people in black robes wearing [[Faction Paradox mask|skull masks]]". The eyewitness accounts of these people describe them as being in the process of performing "some sort of [[ritual]]". Tasha goes to investigate in the field, only for time to be wound back again. | In a second iteration of the recording of the same video diary for the 28th of March, 2021, Giles now reports on a state of investigation where the strange temporal activity has not been pinpointed to the Bank of London.

In the third account Giles gives of the day's investigations, the time detector is "going haywire" and Maxie concludes that "structural changes in the [[Web of Time|fabric of Time]]" are being performed. Once again realising that the Faction Paradox is involved, Maxie theorises, since [[daylight savings]] is coming up that very night, that the Faction are performing a ritual to acquire the [[hour]] that Londoners will lose to daylight savings. Once he learns that this is what's afoot, Giles is reluctant to get involved, noting that he fears this would make P.R.O.B.E. the pawns of [[Great House|a higher power]]. However, he does agree to send [[Az (Daylight Savings)|Az]] into the field to check things out, hoping that Az's supernatural sense for "whether things aren't quite right" will yield something useful. | In the third account Giles gives of the day's investigations, the time detector is "going haywire" and Maxie concludes that "structural changes in the [[Web of Time|fabric of Time]]" are being performed.
