Lab assistant on site says,

Thank heavens you're here. For some reason, sending the envelope back to Doctor When in 1986 blew out almost all of the tachyon midi ether co-keypads.

Now that we have access to the Brain-O-Matic 9000 supercomputer (thank you very much!) we got it to compute starting specifications for all of them. But we need everyone's help to complete the designs and get the time machine working again.

Please grab a schematic and get to it. When you finish, please grab another. As soon as we finish them all, we'll be able to restart the time machine and finally rescue Doctor When. You can see our overall progress on the screen.

Puzzle Answer

The event is over when all co-keypad puzzles are solved. GC will regulate the pace by having "lab assistants" artificially solve some puzzles, timing it to end shortly after the last team arrives.

Puzzle Solution

Same as Co-Keypad A event.

Response to Correct Answer

Lab assistant on site says words to the effect of:

Hooray, you've done it! By working together you've rescued Doctor When. Let's watch.

The Act I Scenes 3 & 4 are played on the big screen. Then lab assistant announces:

Hooray, you've rescued Doctor When! Now it's time to return to the lab for debriefing.

Hold it...there's a bit of residual tachyonic radiation at the lab...probably wouldn't cause sterility.

Well, those darn OSHA government regulators might object. Why don't you just let it die down a bit. Wait till 9 PM. Perhaps you could get yourself some dinner between now and then--here's a list of nearby restaurants.

But definitely don't go back before 9 PM.

• Design server software.
• Test deployment with LAN.
