Ed's workplace is on the third floor of a commercial building that is part of what the Adjustment Team codifiedly calls Sector T137. The sector is scheduled to be "adjusted," and it is imperative that every person and thing (or, officially, an "element") involved in the sector be present therein. Ed's tardiness caused him to arrive at the area while the adjustment, of which he was supposed to be a participant, is in progress. Every person, every thing, every element has been turned to a terrifying, strange gray. Ed, at the risk of sounding deranged, later tells Ruth, "Yeah. Strange is hardly the word for it. I poked my hands right through them. Like they were clay. Old dry clay. Dust. Dust figures." Taylor, Angus (2008). "Electric Sheep and the New Argument from Nature", in Jodey Castricano (ed.), Animal Subjects: An Ethical Reader in a Posthuman World. Wilfrid Laurier University Press. p. 188. PKD writes with mystery. You wonder where you are, who are these people, pigs, stuffed animals, toy soldiers, aliens, robots, etc... When you get a grip on the scene, many plot lines intensify toward the crisis, and many lead to a revelation or plot twist. PKD has a deep, unique way of thinking, unbound by the parameters of what we as a united humanity call reality. He has a searching mind, a hunger for the unknown, as if he has to find it.

Chi Hyun Park, Jane (2010). Yellow Future: Oriental Style in Hollywood Cinema. University of Minnesota Press. p.54. Adjustment Team begins with an uninteresting remark on the day's weather ("It was bright morning. The sun shone down on the damp lawns and sidewalks, reflecting off the sparkling parked cars.") but soon manifests its tendency for the surreal, with a shady character referred to as the Clerk and a sleepy, speaking dog whose job is that of a Summoner. Apparent members of the mysterious titular group, the two wait outside the house of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Fletcher, carrying strict instructions from a higher authority to ensure that on this particular day Ed comes to his office building early. No sooner or later than 8:15 should the Summoner bark and call on a Friend With A Car to offer Ed a ride, but as one would expect from a plot introduction involving a character who is barely awake, something goes wrong: the dog falls asleep at the most precarious of times and barks a minute too late.
