Location Notes
Somewhere that we dress up as a "principal's office". Alternatively, they hack into the school computer remotely.

Mandatory Puzzle
Plot Setup
Prof. Chronus lost her bolt cutter, and so can't get into Wesley's locker (to retrieve the cursed letter!). But she knows that principal might have a master combo for all locks. It turns out that the principal indeed has a master combo for 2010, 2009, 2008, etc. - all the way back to 1987. Unfortunately, Chronos is in 1986. Players need to decode pattern to figure out the master combo to send to Chronos.
Props
After the players send back the combo info to Chronus, they should be rewarded with a video of present-day Doctor When putting a letting into young When's locker. And then after he sneaks off, Chronos sneaks in and steals the letter out of young When's locker before he can read it.
We may also need a video of the time stream 1 version of the "Science Fair Incident." This one would show that they've eliminated Prof. Chronus's science fair trauma (but not quite tipping the hand that they've returned everything to time stream 1--although that may be obvious).
Plot Point to Convey
With the players. help Prof. Chronus fixes the past. Prof. Chronus will rematerialize at XX AM. Be back in the lab by then (need radiation levels to drop).
Short Description
Teams need to figure out the master locker combo from the principal's notes.
Detailed Description
The teams have discovered that the principal keeps the master locker combo in his office. They go to his office and find - lo and behold - a list of locker combos in his drawer. However, the combination changes each year, and the list only goes back to 1987! Undaunted, the players figure out the pattern, and deduce what the 1986 locker combo was, and convey this to Prof. Chronus. (Draft of puzzle completed.)

We have a time loop problem here - in this version of the world, how does the letter get into the locker in the first place? Does this matter?
