Look who's at the
Archives! It's the Lenny Conundrum Lenny! Lets see what he has to say. It's that Lenny from the Lenny Conundrum! 
"Hey, you! Listen, you know Finneus, the archivist, right? I heard him say you've been helping him with some kind of... history puzzle, or something. I don't know, but anyway. Finneus is my uncle, and I want to give him a special surprise for his birthday, which is coming up soon. It's the fourteenth day after the square root of the number of Grundos you find in the--er, sorry, nevermind. Force of habit. Anyway, look, here's what I want to do: He's got this favourite Meepit plushie of his, yeah? And I want to decorate it all nice for his birthday." He grumps. "But I want it to be a surprise! He's always in that office of his, so I can't get ahold of it. If I hang around until he turns his back, he'll get suspicious. But since you're always in there, you could get it without him noticing. So, can you help me?" You need to distract him. Click the vase behind him, maybe that will do the trick.  Looks like it worked! Quick, grab the Meepit plushie!  You throw a pebble at the vase. The archivist spins around at the sound of something plinking against the vase. "What? What was that? Did you hear something?" After you click the plushie:  The archivist shrugs and turns back around. "Oh well. I'm just hearing things as I get old, I suppose. Say, I wonder where I put that Meepit plushie..." 
"Great, you got the plushie! I--" He looks at it, startled. "Wait a second, this isn't his favourite Meepit plushie. That one has, uh, um... well..." He scratches his head. "It's a little different, it's got a... a thingy... Look, I'll know it when I see it. You've got to go and get his favourite plushie. Hurry! His birthday is only 94 times the number of bolts on the Virtupets Space Station seconds away!" Oh no! We got the wrong plushie! Go back to the Archivist's office to see what's going on here.  The archivist smiles as you enter. "Well, I had to dip into my stash of extra Meepit plushies to replace the one I lost. Good thing I buy them in bulk!" Doh! He's got replacements! You've got to find them... head back to the archives and click on the other doors handel.  When you enter into the room, you will see a door at the top, and right of the screen (higlighted in red), and a smaller door next to the top door (highlighted in blue).  Try to click the small door. If you can't click either the top or right door, and try to click the small door again. Keep navigating from room to room trying to click the smaller door, it shouldn't take you too long until you see this (usually it's right 2 and up 1, or right 1 and up 2):  How interesting... a box of Meepit plushies. This must be where the Archivist keeps getting his replacements!  You hide the box of Meepit plushies in another closet. Now the Archivist will never find them! The archivist frowns as you enter. "Hm, I seem to have misplaced my box of replacement Meepit plushies. I only have one other one... my favourite." He pulls a battered old Meepit plushie from a locked cabinet, and sniffles as he examines it. "This little guy was the first Meepit plushie I ever bought!" So, he's got his favorite Meepit plushie out, time to snatch it. Click the vase to distract him. Quick! Grab the Meepit plushie! You throw a pebble at the vase. The archivist spins around at the sound of something plinking against the vase. "What? What's was that? Did you hear something?" After you've got his favorite Meepit plushie: The archivist shrugs and turns back around. "Oh well. I'm just hearing things as I get old, I suppose. Oh no! My favorite Meepit plushie is gone!" He sobs, dismayed. Take the plushie to the Lenny Conundrum Lenny. "Excellent!" he cheers as you bring him Finneus's favourite Meepit plushie. "This is the real one. Now, let me just put this ribbon on it--" RRRRIP! "Uh oh."  "Oh no! I tore the Meepit's head off! Woe!" He looks down at the headless Meepit plushie. "I--hey, what's this?" He reaches into the plushie and pulls out an old, dull, rusted dagger that was hidden inside the plushie. "Huh, some kind of dagger stored inside the plushie. How weird. Oh well. I guess you better give this plushie back to Finneus. I hope he's not mad at me!"  There's an odd pattern of marks on the dagger the Lenny is examining. A pattern in the Meepit Plushie! Extraordinary! Let's see what Finneus makes of this. 
The archivist sniffles as you enter. "Oh, my poor Meepit plushie! My absolute favorite! But at least my nephew meant well when he destroyed it by accident. And of course, it led to finding a clue! How fortuitous! Well, you best be off to the observatory while I mourn my poor Meepit plushie."
Find the pattern you saw on the dagger. It will look like this:  When you've got it, click submit! Congratulations! You've just found your 9th constellation: The Thief!  Check in with your usual characters: 
The janitor hurls a book of Lenny Conundrums to the floor and shouts, "RARRRGHH!! THESE CONUNDRUMS ARE TOO HARD!! I'LL CRUSH THAT LENNY IF I SEE HIM!!" 
The Astronomy Club members greet you warmly as you enter the room... except the club president, who grabs a protractor and threatens you with it every time you come near him. The other club members give you overly casual nods. The Wocky sidles up and whispers, "Don't worry, we'll be making our move soon. In the meantime, hang onto this. And don't ask where I got it." 
The Astronomy Club The Wocky explains, "Let's just say it might come in handy later on. Or it might not." She winks and wanders away. The archivist says, "Naturally, Kelland, the Thief, would have his constellation found on a dagger. Indeed." He lets out a sigh. "This would seem to remove Kelland from the list of suspects. It would have made the most sense, 'twere it him, but alas. I still cannot accept that Fauna, Jerdana, or even Altador himself could be responsible for this!" He blinks. "Unless... wait a moment... something is stirring in my memory..." He glances up at the ceiling for a moment, as if peering into the distance. "Ah HA!" he shouts. "Yes, I think I know where to look. This search may bear no fruit, but I must try. I will have to go into the archives for a while. But continue your search; there are only three constellations left to find, and we may not have much time left." As with the last constellation, a few other things have been updated. If you click on the statue of Kelland, then click on the tippy top of the picture, you will see the gems above his head are lit up!
