Two hours later, the heroes have finally arrived near the entrance, and they land the box and walk (as Brainstorm constantly checks his radar, but it only picks up things in the air), while Brainstorm himself shuts Socrates up and tries to find another way to activate the transmitter.
At around one hour left, Brainstorm analyzes Socrates' brain and finds the chip shortly before the other four burst in, and Calvin battles him while Sherman attempts to get the new chip in. Hobbes and Andy then proceed to distract him.
Meanwhile, Sherman inserts the new chip, managing to get the old one out seconds before it explodes.
