Dobbsey is speaking to Brainley in the lab.

Dobbsey: So, have any plans for New Year's?

Brainley: Actually, with all the mucking about with the earth's orbit I've done to avoid annual reviews, it won't be new year's until next march.

Dobbsey: ...wouldn't changes on that scale have massive, global consequences?

Brainley: I haven't checked my voicemail in a while.

Lab voice control: - you have... 979,342... new messages. -

Brainley: It's probably not anything important.
