== Summary ==
Adventure Town prepares for its first celebrity visitor - world-famous actress Celestine Claw - who arrives for the Moonlight Picture Gala. However, someone has been leaving threatening theatrical messages, and S.A.R.T. is assigned to provide security. Celestine proves to be gracious and down-to-earth, genuinely appreciating the town's authentic character over professional polish. She particularly bonds with the S.A.R.T. team, who she finds more genuine than typical security. The investigation reveals a pattern of theatrical messages delivered precisely every 24 hours. That night, Celestine's precious Moonstone Star Brooch - a family heirloom that gives her courage - is stolen from her suite. The theft shows all the same theatrical staging as the previous messages, suggesting the criminal plans to use the brooch in a performance at tomorrow's gala. S.A.R.T. discovers trace evidence linking the thief to both flowers and theater, and tracks their movements toward the gala grounds, realizing the entire crime spree has been building toward a dramatic conclusion at the public event.
