Dealing with dates before the series started.

Couple of points I want to bring up after looking at this page: 

  1. The first two entries in the timeline, 30,000 and 2,000, are they supposed to be relative to the episodes those dates were mentioned in?  Meaning the 2000 for the Bioship, if it's 2000 years ago it'd be c400CE in the timeline, and the 30k for the birthing bucket would be c27,600BCE in the timeline.
  2. Saying at the start "Time is measured from the first year of the series." could be removed.  If we need to be expicit about when "X years ago" statements occur, say it's measured from the episode they're said in.  If the in-universe year keeps to the Current_Year+401 mentioned at the start of the page, then only counting backwards from the first season adds in a discrepency to working out a date when someone says "X years ago" in one of the later seasons.
    • This may sound nitpicky now, but we've had an announcement of a second season so it'd help straightening this out now
