Dr. Landelbrot is the inventor of the confusionator, which creates Random Events in the hopes of balancing order against chaos in Neopia. He has had many different laboratories in Neopia, the first being in Moltara's water tower, but currently resides in orbit around Neopia on board the spaceship, the Coincidence.
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.
I certainly hope I can provide some insights! I must admit, my curiosity was piqued after hearing about a strange object that even you weren't familiar with Mira.
A conundrum to be sure! Scintilly and I will begin setting up my equipment now, but it will likely take several days of testing and analysis before I have any concrete results to share!
I'm sorry to say it, but after extensive study and testing, I still can't make heads or tails of it! The physiology of this enigmatic object is so unlike anything from Neopia that my instruments have been unable to deliver any accurate or helpful readings besides the traces of anti-matter they give off.
Wish I could have been more help, but I'll stick around in case I can be of service! Not to mention the fact I am utterly fascinated by those strange objects! I do hope someone can get to bottom of this.
Happy to lend a hand!
This is incredible. Just think about what this could mean for the discoveries of modern-day Neopia? Did these Petpets come from Neopia and adapt to space or the other way around? What would that mean about Neopia's natural Petpets? We have so much to learn from them!
Hello Neopians! If I could please pry you away from your busy lives for but a moment, there is a vital scientific inquiry underway that requires your assistance. With your help, we could have the means to better understand this puzzling rift threatening to tear our sky asunder. I only ask that you collect samples of the harmless detritus seeping from this fracture, which we’ve designated as void essence, wherever you can find them across Neopia. Based on the rate and trajectory that the rift is leaking residual energy, multiple conglomerations of void essence should appear across the same group of Neopian lands each day. Bring me enough samples each week, and I shall have Scintilly here reward you with 5 Plot Points that can be spent on any number of unusual items we’ve found tumbling through the rift. As an additional token of appreciation for your efforts, we will also grant you a special prize from the eclectic collection Scintilly has amassed over years of oddities popping through our portal! One final point on the matter- be sure to check all over Neopia if void essence seems scarce in the same lands as time passes. Conglomerations of void essence may start trickling into entirely new sets of lands as the rift expands over time!
According to my void essence container readings, we have collected more than enough of this mysterious substance to support my ongoing research. You’ve certainly earned yourself a break from collecting! Please kick back and do some Sudoku while Jerdana, Scintilly, and I get to work. We will be sure to reach out should we require more void essence!
Landelbrot is apparently very old, being present in the early days of Neopia at least one thousand years ago. The Coincidence itself has existed for centuries at least.
Landelbrot's name is likely a reference to the Mandelbrot set.
