(I can't edit the comment anymore, so here is a revised section.)
Does your character have any powers that the hexarchate would consider "exotic" (magical)?
One day, Alaric will be a certified master of calendrical manipulation, able to change local calendrical values at will so as to demonstrate how alternate systems might function to an enraptured audience. Sadly, he is still several graduate courses from getting that certificate. Oh, how he aches under these archaic professional restrictions!
He has, however, gotten pretty good at creating a calendrical null-space, where only invariant technology functions. He can turn this on and off as desired, in a space up to about a football field. (Usually as desired, at any rate. Occasionally there have been... mishaps. He blames the universe.) Mostly he uses this as a party trick to show how some piece of technology works.
