Chapter 7: Planetarium and Observatory

Part 1:

From the lab you go through the gate that is now open up to the planetarium.  

Take a look around, it looks nice. You see planets revolve around the sun.  

In the middle is a switch panel with a sphere above it that projects the planets, to the right of it is a pedestal of which you do not know what it is for.  

On the left is a chest on the ground with 3 squares on top, the first is now lit. The second is lit when you click on it, the first goes out. The third does nothing. Cable runs to all screens from this panel. At eye level you see 8 pictures, in front of each picture is a monitor with a symbol of a planet. There are 8 pictures with 8 monitors and 8 symbols. You can zoom in on the symbols and switch them on or off. You also see a spiral staircase to go up to the Observatory.... The gate for this staircase is closed and locked.  

The gate to the stairs must be opened and we will take care of that first. In front of the staircase to the lab, is a table with three books on it.  

You can zoom in on the green book. Do that and read it, also check the drawings.

The bottom paragraph on the left-hand page and the drawing on the right-hand page are important.  

 You read  that there are 3 stages to view the planets, the planets in the outer part of the solar system and the planets in the inner part. The drawing is for the third stage ....... You see the sun with a big planet and a small planet. Which planets, and therefore which symbols, belong to the inner part and which ones to the outer part? Zoom out of the book and also out of the table.  

Turn to the right. There you see a table, you can zoom in on the top of that table. Here you will find 2 rolled up posters.  

  Click on the left poster and you will see the inner planets with their symbols, click on the right poster and you will see the outer planets.  

Take good notice of the symbols behind each planet ..... they are the same symbols that are also on the walls here and you are going to switch off and / or turn on some of those symbols of planets. You begin with the inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These symbols must remain on and the rest must switched off. You always zoom in on the planet symbols and then click on them to switch them on or off  

Find the symbol of Saturn ........  

Zoom in on Saturn and turn off the symbol.  

Zoom out and find the symbol of Jupiter, zoom in on it and switch off Jupiter.  

Zoom out. Find Uranus and switch off Uranus  

Look for Neptune and also switch off this symbol.  

Now zoom in on the switch panel with the globe above it. Move the slider to the right and click on activate.  

You now get a projection of the inner planets around the sun. The upper light now lights up on the panel.  

Zoom out and look at the spectacle. You are now going to switch off the inner planets and switch on the outer planets.

Turn off the Earth  

Turn off Venus.  

Turn on Saturn again.  

Switch off Mars.  

Switch on Neptune again.  

Turn on Jupiter again.  

Turn Uranus on again  

Turn off Mercury.  

Zoom in again on the switch panel with the globe above. Move the slider back to the left and click on activate.  

The globe again projects the outer planets that revolve around the sun.  

If you look again in the book to the drawing, you see a small planet and a large planet circle around the sun, in the text they talk about a large gas planet and our small earth. The planets in the drawing could very well be Jupiter and the Earth. We will turn on and off planets again. Look again on the pictures and the symbols. 

Turn the Earth back on and Saturn out again.  

Turn off Neptune and Uranus again.  

Zoom in on the box at the panel and click on the middle square, it will now light up.  

Zoom back in on the panel with the globe, pull the slider to the left and click on activate.  

The next part will go by itself, you will see a number of projections one after the other.  

Blue lights appear, 1 of which lands on the Earth.  

Then the gate to the spiral staircase opens up.  

Click on the stairs and you will go up to the observatory.  

Observatory:  

Take a look around, there is plenty to see and discover. In the middle of the room is a telescope and just in front of the table is the computer with the telescope control. You have to enter coordinates here, but which, just click on the enter button maybe these are good coordinates. But no, you get an error message  

The hatch of the dome is not yet open. So look for the button to open that hatch. If you look closely, you will see a red light next to the painting to the left of the stairs.  

Zoom in on that switch and press the button, the light will turn green and the dome will open.  

Zoom in on the eyepiece / sight glass of the telescope and .........  

......... you see the stars whose coordinates are now filled in, you don’t need those stars that you see now..  

Zoom out (2x) and you will see a double rack with shelves against the wall, on the bottom shelf there are 3 boxes. Click in the opening between the boxes.  

You now see a slider in the wall, slide it down and a secret box opens. There are 4 coins in it, take them.  

Slightly further to the left is a double storage rack with shelves but now transversely to the wall, next to it is a table with a stool in front of it. On the stool is a box, of course closed. Look at the table, you see two boxes with 4x4 lights that you can turn on and off. In front of the right box there is a push button with a star on it and for the left box there are 3 buttons with the symbols water, comet and moon. In addition to the buttons, there is another triangular slab for a door lock, again under a closed hood.  

A little more to the left is another table with a number of books, plates and cutlery but that is not important because you cannot do anything with it. In the middle you see two copybooks.  

On the top sheet of paper a doll is drawn that reaches to a star with underneath III. This is an indication for 1 of the 3 steering wheels but which? Between the two copybooks you can see a piece of paper, click on it and you see a drawing. This has to do with the oscilloscope, it is also an indication for another steering wheel.  

Zoom out and turn to the left, there is a mattress on the floor and on the cushion is a book

Zoom in on the book, it opens and you see a code in familiar characters. You have to go back to the handles in the basement, next to it is the number VI. Write down the code.  

Next to the mattress is a table with above a steering wheel, you can turn it. On the edge are constellations, above the spokes are the coordinates that belong to the constellation at the top of the wheel. Between the bottom spokes you see 3 squares for the other wheels, only we have to activate them first.  

Zoom out, next to the wheel is a shelving unit with a book on the bottom shelf on top of a box. Zoom in on this book and click on it.  

Here we cannot go any further, we now have to start activating those wheels so click on the stairs and go down.  

Planetarium:

You come in the planetarium and there you stop for a while because there are still a few things hidden here.

Zoom in on the constellation of Venus. To the left of the screen you see a table.  

If you look closely, you will see something against the wall on the right of the leg of the table, click on it and you will get a strangely shaped plate in your inventory.  

  If you think that this shape looks familiar, that is correct. You saw it on the pillar in the anteroom. We will come back to that later. There is something else hidden here. There is a pillar between the constellation of Jupiter and Mercury. If you look in the direction of that pillar, you get the round cursor on the second upper step. It is a loose board.  

Zoom in on that loose shelf in the stairway .....

You can slide the board backwards and you will find a doll / action figure. There is also a note in the hole, click on it and read the note.  

We now go further down, so click down the stairs and we'll get to the lab.

Laboratory:

Zoom in on the oscilloscope and ..........

..... turn the knobs to get the wave on the screen the same as the drawing in the telescope area.  

That's how it should be  

Zoom out and now go back to the anteroom.

Ante room  

  Zoom in on the steering wheel, if you have the right wave on the oscilloscope the wheel is no longer blocked. If the wheel is still blocked, you will not have the right frequency on the oscilloscope. Then go back to the oscilloscope to do it better. But what number should be on top. On the drawing was a scribble at the bottom. 5 spokes and the top compartment open. Turn around and zoom in on the poster with the stars in the circles. There are 4 stars in the upper circle. Zoom out and go to the wheel. Zoom in and turn the wheel so that the IV is at the top.  

Zoom out and turn around to the pillar, behind the stairs. We are here now so we will immediately solve this puzzle.

Zoom in on the bottom part and drag the strangely formed plate there.  

You now have to twirl the 2 plates and drag them together, on the bottom plate you have to click 3 times and on the top plate 2 x. Then slide the plates together.  

You zoom out yourself and a panel slides open to the left of the pillar. Click in the hole and you are now in the space behind the stairs to the planetarium. You hear that bad noise from a radio, you can already see that thing on the shelf in the position. Turn off that thing, silence.  

Look around. A painting of a lady hangs above the hole. At the top of the painting you see something white, zoom in (2x) on the white thing.  

It is a note with the explanation /clue for the puzzle with the busts in the hallway to the tower with the slide projector, read it carefully because this is important.  

Turn around to the shelving unit to the left of the window, on one of the shelves you can see a few rolls sticking out.  

Zoom in and click on all 3 posters, remember the number 1566. Zoom out again.  

Now look right under the posters, just behind the box is a box with a puzzle lid.  

Zoom in on the box. It is again a puzzle box on which you have to turn the water symbol correct.  

So rotate the 4 squares in the lid and then take the 2 coins out the box.

Zoom out and turn to the left, right on the floor next to a stack of boxes and picture frames you will see a note.  

Zoom in and view it.  

Zoom out and turn around and leave this space through the hole.  

You are back in the anteroom. Go to the lab and click on the door to the corridor with the busts.  

Projector:

Walk to the other end of the hallway and click on the door to the tower. Go up the stairs to the slide projector. Zoom in on the projector.  

Press the button to show another slide, continue until you have a male reaching for the stars.  

Zoom in on the panels and move them until the lines coincide with the lines of the slide,  

Now the wheel at the bottom of the tower has also been unblocked. So down the stairs to the wheel.  

Turn the wheel until III is at the top, the wheel is now activated.  

Zoom out and go back up 1 stairs and then back through the door to the corridor with the busts. We will now also solve this puzzle.

Corridor with Busts:

In the hall you call the busts A to D, start at the bust that is closest to the door of the tower.  

Each bust is on a pillar and at the bottom of each pillar there is a switch.  

So you can zoom in on the bust and on those switches. First zoom in on every bust ...At the top of each pillar you read the birth year and the year of death of the Bust in question.

These are these years ...... A = 1171, B = 1902, C = 1284 and D = 1805.  

Read the note again with the instruction for this puzzle.  

On this note you can read that the birth year is important, the last digit of the birth year you have to set on the dial at the bottom of the pedestal. In the note you also read that the order is important, we put the dates in order so A, C, D and B. So we will do this now

  Zoom in on the bottom of plinth A and set the pointer to 1,  

Then go to plinth C and the pointer to 4.  

Set the pointer of plinth D to 5  

Zoom in on plinth B and set the pointer on 2  

Turn to the box with the gold colored plaque. Turn the pointer to the right and the lid will open.  

Grab the disc and view it from all sides, on the back you will find the name HERMES.  

Was HERMES not an ancient god and were we not looking for a name to fill in under the statue in the throne room?

Leave the hallway and go down through the lab and the anteroom to the Throne Room with the statue

Throne Room:  

  Zoom in on the mechanism at the front of the base of the enormous statue and enter the name Hermes.  

A panel slides open underneath, there is room for the disc there. Drag it to it.  

You zoom out and you see the hand of the statue coming down, in his hand he has a yellow Orb. Zoom in on the hand and take the yellow Orb  

  Go through the stone spiral staircase to the server room and from there to the basement.
