6/10/11: Cache replaced at original drop
location
After a month of searching I have come upon a lead to another stash
that may lead to Dossier #XXX2. Looking over my mentors notebook it
appears that four years ago he had retrieved information from a
drop made somewhere near Haddon Township, NJ in the early 1990s.
Other than that I had no idea where to begin looking for this drop
until several days ago, when I received the case file on this case
in the mail from an unknown source.
The first thing in the file was a statement saying that the drop
was made by an agent known only as Oren, and his affiliation was
unknown.However it mentioned that he was born in 1961, and a
psychological profile done on him reviled he had a tendency to look
down on things first.
This is where things got interesting. Apparently the agency came
upon a cassette tape labeled “conference 31”, a
transcript of which was included in the file. The file indicated
that the tape was known to have been made two before Oren made the
drop. The transcript was very brief and contained the voices of
only two people, one male and one female. It read as follows:
Female Voice: “We have another drop for you to make, this one
requiring specific urgency, it needs to be made within the next
five days.” Male voice: “In that case I will tell Homer
to be ready; he just got his engine fixed.” Female voice:
“I only have a partial fix on where they want the drop right
now, and the full information you need will be given to you by
eighteen hundred tomorrow. Interestingly enough they had to drag my
father into this” she said almost laughingly. “Papa
said this morning he is going down to the Delta.” Male voice:
“ah so that (static),” the rest of the tape was
apparently cut off.
Stapled to the transcript was a photo. It showed what appeared to
be a hand holding an index card. The picture appears to have been
taken from a good distance away because the only thing really in
focus is the note card, Oren`s instructions? The card contained the
following lines of bold text:
NWOWL RCIEH OFESO YUILE EVTEF ST
DREDA CRCOT NOITE FINES CUAYF ETFFE NT
BTIYU AEHTP YHSOH VTEYE
At the top and bottom of the card were lines small, barley
decipherable text (mostly numbers) written in them. The top line
contained the following:
45153413411525421345322221131544324225111541131511454451133235114342134232421334125345
and the line at the bottom of the card contained these:
411534132344431212433242454531441313413235131124444341211315224342
The only other thing in the file was a photocopy of a memo which
read:
To: ***********
From: Agent **** (my mentor)
Subject:Oren
Got film from Haddon Twp drop. Ran into trouble initially since
what they used has been replaced, darn technology. Luckily they
slipped up and used our port for the info. Left what needed to be
left. Oren was good I`ll give him that.
With the information contained in this file, I believe you have all
the information you need to locate and retrieve the
“stash.” Once you have accomplished this, it is
critical that replace the stash as you found it. You must also not
leave a trace your being there, as we cannot affoard to have
civilians stumble upon the drop site. Good Luck!
The PMC2 is a series of fiendishly
difficult puzzle created by 18 of the best Puzzle Masters in the
Mid-Atlantic Region. In each of these caches you will find a user
name and password. After you enter each user name and password into
the site listed below, you will be taken to a page with a short
puzzle and ultimately a final puzzle piece. Assemble these pieces
and find the final cache!
BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY HERE
This series is designed to lead you on an epic adventure that will
require Master puzzle-solving skills and extensive travel to unique
locations. You must travel and log in at each cache in order to
claim a find on the final. Due to the extensive time and effort put
into this challenge, the cache can be done as a group but each
member of the group must go to each cache site and sign each log.
Dividing into sub groups and pooling their efforts will not be
allowed.
All 18 caches will be released sporadically between now and the
EVENT to be held in June. To make them easy to find we have
created a WEBSITE that
will have a complete list of all the available PMC caches in all 4
series as they are published.
