Geocache Description:


 

 

This is an encrypted communication…

 

 

Attn all GeoAgents:  There will be a mass infiltration of an enemy compound with a rendezvous at the coordinates posted above at high Noon.

 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to locate information recovered by our lost GeoAgent, SNSpencer.  This agent has recently gone missing while on assignment in the guarded compound of Goethe/River Bend Park .  The Company believes that prior to his capture, this agent infiltrated and secured sensitive information that could ultimately bring down our most dangerous adversary, MOTTOW.  (Muggles Of This Tiny Orbiting World)  Below is a transcript of GeoAgent SNSpencer’s last known transmission…

 

[ static] Agent SNSpencer reporting, come in control.  I have acquired infor[static ] bring down MOTTOW for goo.. [static]   about to be captured and I have left a trail of clues as to where the [static] hidden.  Please send other agents to recover the pack[static ] crucial information.  I have left a series of clues that only [static] geoexperienced agent can decipher.  The first clu[static ] at posted coordinates hidden in plain sight of MOT [static]   Use extreme cau[static ]uggle agents everywhere!!”     

 

Mission:

It is your mission to pick up the trail of GeoAgent SNSpencer and complete his assignment.  From the transmission above it is apparent thatyou can beginyour search near the posted coordinates.  Look for something hidden in plane sight.  With The Company training instilled in SNSpencer, you should be able to follow his trail without too much difficulty.  Locate the information needed to bring down MOTTOW.  If the opportunity to recover GeoAgent SNSpencer presents itself I leave it up to you to make that call.  His safe recovery is preferable but not necessary.  SNSpencer’s service to The Company will be missed.

 

MOTTOW Compound Background:

The MOTTOW facility is a secluded but heavily guarded compound in an area known as Goethe/River Bend Park.  It is bordered on the north by an impassible river, to the south a heavily populated urban area.  Your best approach is from the South as you can use the disguise of a “Muggle Agent” to blend in.  Unless you have stolen an annual MOTTOW pass you will need to finance your entrance into the compound with a $5 bribe at the gate.  Be careful as there are many MOTTOW agents in the compound that utilize advanced two-wheeled technological self propelled gadgets for locomotion.

 

With the training provided to SNSpencer by The Company, it is feasible that he hid the “package” in an area that is frequented by MOTTOW agents, right under their noses.  Facilities at these locations include spy vehicle stalls, refuse disposal stations (solid and organic waste), collaboration meeting and seating surfaces, hydration sources and thermal ration preparation accommodations.

 

Tracking Parameters:

SNSpencer has been trained to “time delay” the trail clues until the morning of the recovery mission.  They will not become active until one hour before the mission start time of 11AM .

As with all agent training, you will be able to track the clues on foot.  From the posted coordinates you will find directions, a clue or a puzzle to direct you to the next waypoint.  Each waypoint will reveal a clue as to where to go next and what to do.  If at any point you get lost of off track you can contact mission control at (916) 600-4395.  At this number you have at your disposal “Ivan”, a research and puzzle solver contracted by The Company to assist you.

 

In the event that you complete your mission and find the “package”:

It is advisable that you bring with you a hydration substance and some solid sustenance to prepare or share with other agents that complete the mission too.  If you find SNSpencer alive he will be hungry as MOTTOW personnel is famous for starving captives to gain information during interrogation.

 

In the event that you are caught or killed, The Company will disavow any knowledge of your actions.  This cache page will self destruct in five seconds.  Good Luck.
