With the players' help, Prof. Chronus has repaired and re-calibrated the time machine. But Doctor When is still stuck at the very beginning of time. Prof. Chronus will focus the remote viewfinder on Doctor When. But all they see is a dark screen. "Hello? Is anyone there? It's totally dark here. Oops...I think I knocked something over. Hold it...there's some light now.... Whoa. It's getting bigger. Fast. You better get me out of here. Now! Send me to these time and space coordinates: garble." Unfortunately because of the intensity of the Big Bang or the long time gap, the message is garbled. (Erik's note: I like the above, but any concern about disconnect between "get me out of here NOW!" and the fact that players will take X minutes to solve the puzzle? Another option that we've discussed is to have the audio not work because of the huge time distance/Big Bang static, so the Dr. does a funny dance or something that needs to be decoded.)

Prof. Chronos notes the time/date and says something like "That's odd, that's when we were both in high school. Wonder what he's up to. Oh well!" ... and pushes the button to send Doctor When there.

We may not even have to "really" run this puzzle again. Perhaps Prof. Chronus asks for the date/time/coordinates and they simply tell it to her (much to her surprise--"are you all industrial spies? How do you know so much? Are you from the future?!")
