According to Scott Wheelock, at 20:22 on 21 Jul 99, the word on
the street was...

Snipped, because there's not much of a spoiler here anymore.

The reason I put QE first is because it was originally numbered 7205, but
then moved to 7304, while UB is 7205.

It's set in 2051, if you check the calendar for that year and clues
throughout the adventure. I'm not exactly sure how I came to pinpoint the
exact week, but you can at least tell it's '51 by some of the dates in the
handouts and other sections of the adventure.

Ah yes, I've found it. Scroll down for the spoiler space:










Just a bit further...









Page 34, in one of the files the PC decker can retrieve from the UB
system, it says Victoria Delling was initiated into the Inner Circle on 21
August 2051 (hey, I'll turn 77 that day! :) which is a Monday in 2051.
Missing Blood starts on the Wednesday after that, because Danial Simpson
gives them three days to retrieve the necklace, before Friday evening
(IOW, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday).

Note that there is a mistake in the dates -- on page 35, in the right-hand
column, it says "August 21 was last Sunday's date." but this would only be
the case if the adventure is set in 2050. In 2051, it's a Monday.
