Plot Setup

  • Iconoclast scientist Doctor When has attempted to demonstrate his time machine before an audience of VIPs.
  • But it malfunctioned due to a faulty key component. The players have helped fix that.
  • The malfunction is causing the Doctor to bounce around randomly in time from era to era, facing untold dangers!
  • Repairs also required access to the Doctor's supercomputer, but the team successfully hacked the password.
  • Along the way they learned someone named "Buffy" was important to him back in high school.
  • The players found a strange pattern in the eras that Doctor When has bounced to...which indicates that the next place he'll materialize is the Big Bang!
  • With that information the Institute can lock onto the Doctor and stop him from bouncing through time
  • The player are coming to this location to watch the Doctor at the Big Bang (since this is one of the few places where the temporal fault lines will allow the time machine's View-O-Scope to pick up a strong enough signal).
