In their command module they famously laughed at how we peeled them with our metal knives, boiled them for twenty of our minutes then smashed them all to bits. Their commander labelled us a primitive people.
On this occasion the Government were adamant there would be no repeat of such mockery. When the spaceship was sighted, fighter jets were scrambled and when it refused to land at a designated airfield under escort it was shot at by a surface to air missile.
The spaceship suffered only minor damage and was able to crash land on Rishworth Moor. The crew of the escorting fighter jets reported that six fragments were seen to fly into the air following the missile attack. The spaceship seems to be fitted with some form of invisibility cloak as it has not been seen since.
Your mission, should you wish to accept it is to find the spaceship. You will need to find all six fragments. All of the fragments are fitted with messaging beacons and have sent back messages to their commanders, each one using a different language.
The mission will entail a moorland walk of at least 7.5 miles so be prepared!
Once you have located the six fragments you will need to apply the following formula to locate the command module: North A X.(B*C)-5, West 002 (A-B)-9 (Y-C)-5.(A+B)+6
