Wouldn't it make more sense, if we're bringing years into it, to arrange it as YDDD? IE: Year 4, Day 242
What about 3015 Found a strong energy field?Year 3, Day 015?

If memory serves, you have to fight your way down to the bottom of the Deep Sea Deposit (even with Enc-None), and the random encounters in the DSD disappear if you defeat Ultima Weapon.And I thought Zell just lets you take a different path down the DSRC.
Actually if you put the right code you dont need to fight monsters on your way down.I dont remember the code right now.
