Grid complete but I don't understand how to fulfil the first instruction...

Can anyone enlighten me?

swap 20a for something else?

There are two parts to the first instruction - you have a hint for the first and the second is linked to the new 20a.
The final message I have but cannot understand what to do with it

Thank you both - I would love to say I am any the wiser!

If you take away 20a what are you to put in its place?

I'm in exactly the same position. Googling the "title" helps not one bit when it comes to trying to work out what the second instruction means. Which "A" - the chap or the machine? If Encota is as skilled as I think (s)he is then (s)he will have enough Greek to know exactly what an "A" is (the opponent of a "P", as it were) which should imply the "A" being the wicked machine. Either way everything is a real word apart from 6D which being where it is symmetry-wise indicates that that is where the second instruction is telling us to go. And that's as far as I've got.

I wouldn't mind an explanation for the wp of 21D while we're at it.

KT17 - something by 20a, nothing to do with the title of the EV.
