== Summary ==
Professor Barnaby Badger, Adventure Town's beloved astronomer, comes to S.A.R.T. in distress after his precious family heirloom - a rare pallasite meteorite called the Starfall Stone - is stolen from his observatory. The meteorite, over 4.5 billion years old with beautiful olivine crystals, has been in his family for five generations. A ransom note leads the team to Shadowcliff Cove, a seedy coastal town where stolen goods are auctioned. Adventure Koala leads an infiltration mission with Felix (as undercover merchant), Penny (stealth specialist), and Gerald (attempting to be a mysterious collector), while Bella, Pedro, and Tina stand by on the Adventure Boat for extraction. Despite Felix's expertise, Gerald's enthusiastic incompetence creates chaos - from falling fake mustaches to bidding fifty thousand dollars they don't have. When the lights go out during the planned extraction, Penny successfully grabs the meteorite. During their escape, they're surprisingly aided by Wally Walrus, who intervenes because stealing from 'sweet old astronomy teachers' crosses his personal moral line. The team successfully returns the Starfall Stone to Professor Barnaby, who decides to donate it to the Adventure Town Museum so everyone can learn from this piece of cosmic history. The mission showcases Gerald's unconventional effectiveness, reveals Wally's developing moral code, and emphasizes the value of preserving scientific treasures for community education.
