I · The Observatory
The telescope
The great telescope is capped with a brass lid, and something is tucked behind it.
Evidence found: a note from the astronomers
“Two names charted these stars together. The vault keeps the night their chart reached the sky: month, then day.”
Need a hint?
Take the cap off.
II · The Dome
The constellation
Trace the face in the stars: begin at the North Star, then the eastern eye, then the western.
Evidence found: the chart lights up
“I · Before the first star, the sky held nothing.”
Need a hint?
North Star, Eastern Eye, Western Eye. Then think about what came before the first star.

“III · The last line reads only O.”
Need a hint?
Hold it to the lamp. What numeral looks like the letter O?

Sound on, or watch the bell. Count the notes.
VI · The Chart Cabinet
The star chart
The chart is signed by two names. One is imTP. The other has four letters, and the cabinet lock wants it.

“Signed: ANEM & imTP. A key is taped to the corner of the chart.”
Need a hint?
Who did imTP make Your Eyes with?
