Yeah, it's been forever since I've read it but from memory it's an evolutionary thing, millennia.

Person Of Interest re-watch.  Still stunning as ever.

Something similar: about how long did The Ellimist Chronicles take place over? I pictured thousands or even millions of years?

Hate to necromance, but someone reminded me of this thread, and just noticed this post and can't help but find something funny.

He had decades as a Ketran, decades, maybe centuries or more (can't remember, too lazy to look with father) when around the galaxy enough times to pass generations of various species, probably decades to centuries at least fighting Crayak (probably says millenia in 26, but whatever), the adult life of an Andalite, more fighting Crayak, however long in a black hole alone, at a time where dinosaurs walked the earth, and has been there with Crayak ever since, so definitely long ass time.

But what just caught me is that TEC is the story he told to Rachel.  A story he told her from outside time. Did he place it all in her head in an instant? Tell her over hours? Show her over a "time" equivalent to the eras through which he lived it?
How long did telling that story actually take, even though it took no time at all? Mind. Blown.
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

There was an earlier case where he stopped everything around the Animorphs in order to have a private conversation with them, which is what he likely did for Rachel. So it may have taken a while, but in reality it was just an instant.

That's very interesting. The answer is that there is no a clear time to set the events.

I did this scheme, form 1 to 35, I have to finish it :

From 1 to 4 : 5 weeks *
4 to 5 : one week more
From 5 to 8 : two more weeks
8 to 10 : ??
10 to 12 : less than a month
From 6 to 14 : about 2 months
From 15 to 18 : no more than 2 months
20,21, 22 : 6 days
23 : 6 days
24 : one day
25 : 4-5 days
26 : no time
27 : 2 days
28 : 2-3 days
29 : more than 3 days
30 : about 9 days
31 : 3 days
33 : 2-3 days
34 : more than 4 days
35 : more than 2 weeks

* #1 is from Friday night to Tuesday morning. In #2 Rachel says that Tobias is a hawk "from more than a week". In #4 Ax says that he's sending messages from "weeks" not "months" so it's probably more than a month but less than two months.
