Order
1.06
Status
::PROTO-READY::
Location
Likely delivered via DVD at the Long Now Foundation.
Type
Mandatory Puzzle
Plot Setup
Prof. Chronus nearly has the machine working properly with the new pep rings, the password, etc. But it still needs to be "calibrated." The View-O-Scope has recorded the different times and places the Doctor has bounced to. (Players are seeing where the Dr. has been while they were doing the previous puzzles - it's not supposed to be "live".)
Props
(Delivered via DVD.)
Plot Point to Convey
General time hijinx, ending in Dr. When bouncing to the Big Bang.
Short Description
DVD containing short clips of famous movie scenes, with Doctor When inserted into them in humorous ways.
Detailed Description
Players receive a DVD containing the View-O-Scope recording of the different times that Dr. When has bounced to. Each of these is a short clip from a famous movie scene (Dr. Strangelove, Titanic, and Gone With the Wind are a few examples), with Dr. When inserted in a (hopefully) funny way. The players' goal is to figure out where Dr. When bounced to at the end, so that they can "calibrate" the time machine appropriately and "lock on" to him. Additional details that are relevant at other points: 1) Dr. When loses the envelope during the Vertigo scene at Fort Point - they'll need this information later to get to the Retrieve the Letter event; and 2) in Act III, players will use the sequence again (which will end partway through) to figure out his next location quickly.

Hints
Response to Correct Answer
Lab assistant, over phone: "Great! Now I'll just refocus the Temporal View-O-Scope to fourteen billion years ago. You'll want to get remote access too - you should go to Location X [location for the Send Me Back puzzle - possibly the Presidio, or thereabouts]. Once you get access, we'll watch the Doctor and he'll tell us what to do!"
To Do
Produce the video. Make copies of DVDs.
