The '''Moltara Mystery''', also called '''Aboard the Coincidence''', was a mini-[[plot]] in which the machine responsible for generating [[Random Events]] broke down, and players had to help fix it. It began on 19 March 2014, and concluded on 3 April. It culminated in the release of a new [[daily]] activity aboard ''[[The Coincidence]]''.

On March 19, 2014, a new "[[Plevent]]" began in which users worked together to fix the broken ''[[Random Event]] Machine'' created by [[Dr. Landelbrot]]. Thus far, the event has no official title.


==Synopsis==
== Synopsis ==


To commemorate the purchase of [[Neopets|the site]] by [[wikipedia:Jumpstart|Jumpstart]], [[The Neopets Team]] decided to increase the likelihood of [[Random Events]] occurring around [[Neopia]]. By the following day, however, the increased number of Random Events caused "something to go wrong", and all normal Random Events stopped. The only events that would appear were garbled messages from a [[Lutari]] called [[Dr Landelbrot]], which guided players to the [[Water Tower]] in [[Moltara]].
In the [[Month of Running]], [[Year 16]], following the purchase of [[Neopets.com]] by [[JumpStart]], [[The Neopets Team]] decided to increase the likelihood of [[Random Events]] to commemorate the occasion. This all went wrong, however, when ''too many'' Random Events caused "something to break", thus ceasing any form of Random Event all together.


There, with the help of [[Scintilly]], a [[Robotic Petpet]], players repaired a portal leading to ''[[The Coincidence]]'', Dr Landelbrot's spaceship in orbit above Neopia. He revealed that he had built the machine that had caused Random Events to occur throughout [[Neopia]], and that it had broken, hence why all the Random Events stopped. He needed players to go and bring him lots of different [[items]] to help him mend his machine.
Days later, a new type of Random Event featuring a [[Dr Landelbrot|mysterious Lutari]] began appearing on site, eventually leading users to the [[Water Tower Laboratory]] hidden in [[Magma City]]. Here, they were instructed by a [[Robotic Petpet]] to repair a portal leading to ''[[The Coincidence]]'', a spaceship orbiting Neopia.


By the 3 April, repairs were complete, and Random Events started appearing again. ''The Coincidence'' became home to a new activity, where players can bring Dr Landelbrot the items he requests [[daily|once per day]] in order to receive a special random event, that may be good or bad.  
Once aboard the ''[[The Coincidence]]'', users were introduced to [[Dr Landelbrot]], the [[Lutari]] who had previously attempted to contact them via Random Event. It was then revealed that Landelbrot had created a machine that had caused ''Random Events'' to occur throughout [[Neopia]], thus making their existence all together his responsibility. Explaining the lack of Random Events lately to be the fault of his machine, Dr Landelbrot then asked users to collect various [[item]]s around Neopia in order to help him fix the machine.

The items requested by [[Dr Landelbrot]] are generally common or numerous, often being given out by [[Dailies]] or [[Event]]s and thus are usually low in [[Neopoint]] value.
