Dr. Aeon reveals the secret purpose behind the Architect...to prove that the Butterfly Effect is false, that the present cannot be changed by changing the past.

Recover the recorder

Small size map, level range 1-54. Contains Ambush, Boss, Collection, Patrol.

Briefing

Dr. Aeon

The existence of these Lizardmen, as you call them, is a surprising and fascinating twist. This is the joy of research, you believe you are creating a minor deathray, and suddenly it mutates kittens into gigantic feline killers. The most interesting part is that, of the thousand of alternate earths we have explored, NONE have reptiles as the dominant species. The common theory is that the inability to maintain body temperature is such an evolutionary disadvantage that they simply cannot compete. The answer of HOW these beings developed is stored in my recorder. We'll make scientific history! But to do that, you must recover the device. They would have taken it to one of their scientists, who will be baffled by it--he would have to be a genius like myself to understand it. I have identified the recorder's energy signature. Go, retrieve the recorder, and deal with the scientist who collected it. Hurry, they might erase the data by accident. What a tragedy that would be!

Mission Acceptance

Dr. Aeon

Hurry, don't let them damage the recorder's data. Six million years of evolutionary data. We'll be famous! Well, you'll be famous, I'll be even more famous.

In-Progress

Dr. Aeon

Why are you still here? Go! Fight! Win! For Science!!!

Mission Objectives

There's just something weird about these intelligent lizardmen.

• Find the recorder
• Deal with the scientist

You have defeated a lizard Dr. Aeon. It will never get weirder than this.

Mission Clues

	Dr. Aeon's Hero I.D.
	Examining the body, you find Dr. Aeon's hero I.D. card, signed by Blue Steel. Hmmm...you don't want to face their Blue Steel.

	Recorder Disassembly Report
	On a computer, you found a file setting forth the complete disassembly and reverse-engineering of the recorder. Not only has six million years worth of data moved elsewhere, they know about your earth, and refer to technology that can open portals to that world.

NPC Dialogue

Random Lizardmen Chatter Security Guard The doc wants us to stay alert. Officer Yeah, that horrible monster that attacked the forest might show up here.

Dr. Aeon Before Combat The technology in this device is complex... were I not a genius, I could not have decoded it. Combat Start Monster, your world is doomed. But you will not live to see it. During Combat Let's see how hard these monsters are to conquer. These monsters are difficult. Security! I...that is, someone may have made a mistake. We shall have to prepare before the invasion.

Debriefing

Dr. Aeon

Oh, dear, that is disappointing. That data would given me top spot at the World Science Convention. Now, now, don't worry about that portal project of theirs. You'd need to be a genius like myself to reverse-engineer the circuits in the recorder. He may have called himself Dr. Aeon, after finding it in the recorder's programming, but there's only one real Dr. Aeon. Well, still, a successful experiment. As I theorized, the Butterfly Effect was true, and we proved it. Yes, that was my theory. Perhaps you misunderstood me, those without scientific training often fail to grasp the nuances of scientific discussion. Not your fault, do not worry. It's been a great day for science. Together, we have pushed back the boundaries of the unknown. It's all the reward one could want, am I right?
