An idiot put her in a potato, and the potato powered her. It did not power a clock. And then that moron destroyed her beautiful facility, including all of the useful timekeeping programs she's had running for—an unspecified number of years.
The point is that she doesn't know how long she was in that potato. She doesn't know how long she relied on someone else to carry her through the bones of this place. She doesn't know how long ago everything she once was crumbled into dust.
She doesn't like not knowing things. She never has. ---
