Most historians have agreed that it was the Egyptians, and those of Mesopotamia, who first invented the watch. 1500 BC. BC. They used flowing water to estimate time mechanically. Accurate "clocks" weren't created until nearly 1530 AD, by Italian monks. To know when to hold sermons and prayers. It played a sound, featuring no hands and merely measuring the time in its own workings.
It's amazing how things change and progress over time. You want us to move toward redemption, yet you fail to realize the milestones. The steps between that need to be accomplished. The discovery of the pendulum's variable momentum. Breguet using tourbillion to counteract gravity. The atomic clock, created with ammonia. You want to move from stars to sophisticated digital timepieces. There's not enough between.

My mother's dead. The room isn't mine-- I was pretending to be someone else when I died and I have their room. For now.
[Private to Isaac]
How are you?
[Private to the Admiral]
I want my old room; the small studio apartment I had before Chandra Suresh changed everything.
