We join Max, 99 and the Chief as they are
meeting to discuss their latest case.
|
Chief:
|
This is a
picture of the Tequila Mockingbird. It is worth a fortune
in diamonds, rubies and pearls.
|
|
Max:
|
So
this is the little devil that caused Conrad Pommadore his
life. |
|
99:
|
The
millionaire art collector? Did he own the Tequila
Mockingbird? |
|
Max:
|
Several
times. When he was 30, he bought it from a Hindu sailor in
the city of Tequila, Mexico. Then, 10 years later, it was
stolen by a Chinese accountant. At the age of 52, he was
able to buy it back at an auction in Beirut. Then, 10
years later, it mysteriously disappeared again. He spent
the next 50 years searching for it. |
|
99:
|
You
said the Tequila Mockingbird cost him his life, Max. How
did he die? |
|
Max:
|
Old
age! |
Welcome to Control, Agent GC. You will be teamed with Maxwell
Smart, Control's top secret agent. Your first case
involves retrieving the Tequila Mockingbird. It was last seen by
Control Agent Esperanza in Mira Loma, Mexico, but she has
disappeared. Before she disappeared, Esperanza was able to tap
out the following coded message on her secret agent castinets.
11 - 14 - 15 - 22 - 17 - 22 - 10 - 34 - 11 - 14 - 15 - 22 - 17 - 11 - 34 - 13 - 15 - 22 - 10 - 34 - 22 - 2 - 18 - 15 - 22 - 17 - 29 - 33 - 5 - 19 - 35 - 26 - 36 - 8 - 2 - 22 - 17 - 22 - 2 - 15 - 33 - 19 - 22 - 2 - 18 - 15 - 22 - 26 - 33 - 35 - 29 - 19 - 5 - 26 - 35 - 22 - 10 - 33 - 35 - 22 - 17 - 14 - 35 - 19
Her transmission stopped before we could get
the key to breaking the code. You can start on
the case by picking up the first part of the cipher key from 39, who I have stationed inside a
geocache. To get to the geocache, use the coordinates given as
the starting point for this hunt. And remember, as soon as
you step outside, you'll be facing death, torture and extreme
danger.
Max:
And....Loving it.
