What can I do about that alien keypad?

There are two cameras, a keycard slot and a set of keys with strange symbols.

--

Do you happen to have a keycard?

--

It's interesting what kind of things will fall out of people's pockets. (Not that it's obvious where an alien's pockets would be. But that doesn't concern us.)

--

Look around the island for a misplaced keycard.

--

You will find it lying on the grass as you look towards the Harbor and the Lighthouse, in the 50s.

--

Back to the Present, go to the anchor keypad and insert the alien keycard into the slot.

--

The left camera will automatically activate and scan you.

--

Too bad your features are not alien enough.

--

You will need some help.

--

Do you happen to know any friendly aliens at all?

--

Go talk to your alien buddy in the Office.

--

He is still where you left him, in the For Lease/Ad Agency/Solicitor building.

--

You can only enter the building when it's not locked up, of course.

--

Go to the Ad Agency in the 50s or the Solicitor's in the 1600s and tap your alien friend to wake him up.

--

Talk to him about the KEYCARD. (Make sure you've tried to use it on the keypad first.)

--

He's keen to help. Walk out the building and find him already waiting for you.

--

Once you start to head towards the Harbor, he'll gladly lead the way.

--

Now that you have him with you, you can reattempt to tackle the alien keypad. Bear in mind that he's there regardless of time, but you still need to time travel to the Present to access the keypad.

--

Tap the keypad (anchor). If he seems to have reservations, talk to him to hear what's worrying him.

--

Come back once he's happy to follow you to the keypad.

--

Insert the keycard again and watch the camera scan the alien next to you instead of you.

--

You'll need a dog for the other camera.

--

Or a dog substitute, that is.

--

Do you happen to have a dog likeness on you?

--

If not, you can find a DOG PHOTO in the folder at the Fishmonger's in the 50s.

--

Use the dog photo on the camera on the right. Alien face recognition technology is not very advanced, apparently.

--

Now it's time to enter the code.

--

You have been coming across alien symbols here and there.

--

How many have you got?

--

There is an alien symbol on the CARD you took from the Carnival Machine.

--

But there are also another two. Have you found them yet?

--

Come back when you have all three alien symbols.

--

You can talk to your alien buddy at any time to find out what the little numbers next to the symbols mean.

--

Press the keys that correspond to the symbols you've collected in order according to your alien friend's instructions.

(SOLUTION FOLLOWS)

--

Press the second key of the last row, the fourth key of the first row and the first key of the third row.
