Doc has left a note about Earth's Mightiest Herons, which despite A.P.E.Bot's assumption this was a puzzle about birds, was actually a puzzle about Earth's Mightiest Heroes, The Avengers.  Each given clue could make a phrase that was one letter different from a Marvel Superhero.

For example, the first clue says "*Gathering for fans who love the computer from 2001 (3-3)*" where the answer is HAL-CON, which is one letter different from the Marvel hero FALCON.  The changed letter in the superhero was the letter F.

Reading all the changed letters gave the phrase **FIND BLACK TEMPLE GATE.**

The Black Temple is the birthplace of The Simian Path and is currently guarded by the Mutant Cartel.  To find the gate, scientists needed to infiltrate their discord (<https://discord.gg/mutantcartel>) where recent comments from Darkfang could be seen

**Darkfang**\
*search for the* path *to the Black Temple...*

Finding the gate to the Black Temple in #characters and clicking The Path symbol below to show allegiance, gave scientists access to #black-temple.  It is here that Darkfang informed his minions that "*he who you seek is not here, you must continue your quest elsewhere*".

Reviewing the pillar, it states "*To find the answer look in your core*" and then says

"*You are...*\
*GIBBONIAN*\
*PREVOYANT*\
*MUTAGENIC*\
\
*Safe Travels*"

As suggested, if a person was those three things, and they must look in their core, this indicated to look at the center of those three traits.

Revealing the message **BON VOYAGE**, or Safe Travels as it mentions below.
