Location Notes
Kaffeehaus in San Mateo; Allen made initial contact; need to negotiate deal to be open at this time.
Type
Mandatory Puzzle
Plot Setup
Prof. Chronus has bounced through time; the machine is mostly fixed but the View-O-Scope is still broken, so they can't communicate with her directly to learn where she wants to go. However, the time machine has sensed significant temporal disturbances in the vicinity of [Location]. (Interpreting time machine data to find the Location can be an optional puzzle.) Doctor When will tell the players that she probably tried to find some alternate way to communicate her request...but in a way that was likely to withstand the passage of time. And she'd want to be very subtle so as to not alter the timeline.
That location might turn out to be the Louvre. Or a series of locations that are famous around the world for works of art.
Props
Books of famous paintings altered to include Chronos (American Gothic, Mona Lisa, etc.)
Plot Point to Convey
Chronos wants to go back to... the same date & place as When did in Act I (perhaps 1 hour later).
Short Description
Prof. Chronus has managed to insert herself into famous works of art to "tell" the teams where she wants them to send her next.
Detailed Description
Prof. Chronus has, while bouncing through time, managed to insert herself into famous works of art, in order to convey a message to the teams (without risking "screwing up the time sequence" by trying to create an overt message). Examples include her face on the Mona Lisa, her standing in American Gothic, and so on. Solving the puzzle reveals where she wants to be sent - Painful Memories High School, at 3pm on June 1, 1986. The answer could just be the date & time (150006011986 or 3PMJUNE11986 or something like that), or something like HSSCIENCEFAIR3PM, or something equivalent. (Draft of puzzle completed, but it doesn't quite match our vision - in particular, Prof. Chronus isn't yet part of the art pieces, and the solution rested on an element that wasn't strictly part of the art pieces.)
Puzzle Answer
time/space coordinates almost identical to those in Fix the Time Coordinates from Act I.

Other Notes
Some of the art might show her with her bolt-cutters, and some without. Also, instead of having pointers to locations, we could just have Doctor When point to a particular art history coffeetable book and say that it was her favorite--she practically memorized it.
