My mistake it was just a week and a half. It is mentioned in Episode 7
on the website-- http://www.bluething.org/overdrive/ad01ep07.html.
When there is a time dilation that is large like that, I'll mention it in the
start of the scene. For instance, in episode 8 it is a day after the
meeting in the hangar--

also help in this way if you need to reference back to earlier scenes.

There was a breathy huff at the other end. "Good morning, Mr.
McMartin. Sorry, I did recognize the voice," Silas confessed. "Pardon
my temper, but I'm dealing with a fresh team this morning, and your
//Juliet// jumped the gate already. You didn't catch me in the best of
times."

"OK?" Silas replied to Terry, almost sounding puzzled.

"Aw," Silas acknowledged. "So, you brought the trideo star, eh? And,
what's this about a reality show? I.... damn it. What now! Excuse me
Terry, I have to tend to something. Mr. Chance.... In Prophet's Na---"
Silas' channel then closed.
