Location

Doctor When's laboratory

Type

Mandatory Puzzle

Plot Setup

Machine has malfunctioned, just as in Part 1. Only the players know this has happened before. Prof. Chronus doesn't know where to start repairs. But the players have been through this all before and so can give her directions.

Hopefully the players will suggest she check the core dump. (She'll be amazed at their expertise!)

As before, when she checks it it has been corrupted (turned into a puzzle!) by the very same malfunction.

Props

Some output as in Part 1.

Plot Point to Convey

As before, the tachyon aether pep ring(s) is/are broken. Prof. Chronus will be amazed at how quickly the teams decode the core dump!

Short Description

Same as in Part 1: Something that looks like a stream of data (error log?) from the time machine. Or...we might set up a gag that the time machine runs on pineapples and they have to examine pineapple cores. (Or maybe some other "core" homonym pun.)

Puzzle Solution

Exact same as in Part 1--a pep ring reference.
