Upon arrival to the secret location to meet Doc, the Megas found a locked door.
The entrance was locked
Doc had left some clue on how to enter:
-a Celtic knot warning sign
-a circular emblem with 8 slices
-a sign stating "Open Year Round"
-a reminder to "use all that was discovered to find a way in"
Reviewing all the information that Doc had left for scientists at the lab, all 16 pieces of information previously collected were reviewed.

Reviewing the remining information, a common connection can be found between a Celtic knot, an 8-piece wheel, and the phrase "year round". This was a reference to the Celtic Wheel of the Year, an annual cycle of 8 seasonal festivals observed by pagans.
Reviewing the 16 phrases previously collected, it was noticed that all of them shared similarities with the seasonal names of the wheel where each seasonal name could be created by combining 2 phrases from Doc with one letter left over.

Reading the extra letters in order around the wheel revealed the phrase APERTURE, which allowed entry to the building.
The Doors Open
As thanks to all the scientists who put in the hard work to bring all the Megas together, Doc allowed both Gold and Silver keycard scientists to claim the Death Bot trait for their keycard.
