Plot Setup
With the players' help, Doctor When has been sent to his high school right before the 1986 science fair. Neither Prof. Chronus nor the players know why he chose this time and place.
Doctor When explained over the View-O-Scope that he lost an envelope with "technical information vital for restoring the timeline" during his turbulent travels through time. He asks the players to find the "instructions" and have it sent to him back in time.

Response to Correct Answer
Over the phone lab assistant says words to the effect of,
- Yes! We've noticed some tachyon disturbances near Ft. Point. Let's hope that by some miracle it's still there.
- Please go there now. You'll probably want to take Mason St. and park near the Warming Hut.
- If you find it, give it to one of the other lab assistants at that location to rush back to Prof. Chronos. Now go!
To Do
Cannot be tested until Calibration puzzle is complete. Figure out parking options at location at Retrieve The Letter location; add to text above.
Other Notes
