Approaching the now active portal in Moltara takes you to The Coincidence, a spaceship in orbit above Neopia. Here you meet Dr Landelbrot, the Lutari scientist who send out the messages asking for help.
| Aboard The Coincidence Before you is Dr Landelbrot, a brilliant scientist. He's standing between you and all of the shiny buttons. It's like he wants you to focus on the task at hand instead of going wild flipping toggles and pressing keys. This is a spaceship, though! Who is he kidding? Eh, maybe you should be listening to what he's saying. "You made it!" the scientist cries. "Oh, thank goodness, I thought I was going to have to resort to smoke signals. Scintilly guided you through the portal, then? Good. I'm Dr Landelbrot. This is my spaceship, the The Coincidence. I'm glad you're here; we can begin immediately. Begin what? Oh, I've gotten ahead of myself again." He coughs. "My Random Event machine is malfunctioning. What, you thought Random Events just happened randomly? Pish tosh! Back in the early days of Moltara, I invented a technology to create chaos. Just as Moltara maintains balance with the fiery magma at its core, so too must we balance order with chaos. I took it upon myself to spawn random events, er, randomly. But I couldn't reach enough of the planet from underground, so I was forced to invent a spaceship. From space, I can cause probability vectors to instantiate virtually anywhere on the planet and its surrounding orbital bodies. I laid in a good supply of Cog Stew and Ionised Onions and have been here ever since. Only -- no doubt due to an aspect of chaos theory I haven't been able to interpret yet -- my Random Event machine has, well, stopped." Dr Landelbrot brightens. "That's why you're here. I need your help to fix it. Don't worry, it isn't hard, but I appear to be missing some key materials. I need you to acquire them for me. Will you help me repair my machine? Your Random Events are at stake." |
Refusing to help will take you back to the Map of Neopia. If you click on "yes" Dr Landelbrot will ask you to bring him several items he needs to repair the machine.
The three items you will need to find are different for everyone and the quantity of the items varies between 2-5.
Once you have found all required items, refresh the page for Dr Landelbrot to collect them.
In return you will recieve a random console piece which will be added to the Random Events machine.
Once you have done this, you will again have the option to leave the ship, or to promise help.
Promising to help will set off a timer, which runs for about 10-12 hours. This is the time you have to wait until you can get another console piece.
| Back again? I'm still working with the materials you gave me. Don't worry, I was able to calculate how long it would take me to finish this part of the Random Events machine. Here is a handy timer you can watch while you wait. Or you could go outside and play. You might need a spacesuit, though. It's cold out. |
Clicking on the petpet to the right of Dr. Landelbrot will take you to the NC Mall portion for this step.
