Peacock Protectors #2 - Penguin Research Facility Traditional Cache
KA&JWest: The whole Furon/Penguin/Rubber Chicken/Peacock thing is so 2011. And this one kept disappearing, not to mention attracting skanky looking geocachers to a kids play area. Its time is up.

Peacock Protectors have been monitoring a Penguin "Research" facility. It was recently found deserted, and the Protectors want to know why, and possibly where the scientists went.
The Peacock has been associated with light, watchfulness and resurrection in myths from India to Europe. The bird is associated with the Phoenix, another symbol of resurrection.
In the 17th century, the golden Peacock Throne was created for the Mughal Badshah Shah Jahan of India. Shah Jahan had the Koh-i-noor diamond placed in the throne. Nader Shah Afshar of Persia invaded India and took both the throne and the diamond back to what is now Iran. The throne was lost in later chaos.
Recent research in India and Iran have revealed hints of a power behind the rulers, which worked behind the scenes. Known as the “Peacock Protectors”, they were independent of the rulers, protecting the rulers when they were wise and just, and opposing them when they were ruthless and tyrannical.
The “Protectors” seem to have dropped out of sight when Persia was conquered by Islam, and there are few reports of their activity on the Indian subcontinent in recent centuries. However, as the earth is subjected to invasion by rival alien forces, there are reports of Peacock Protector activity once again. Recently disclosed documents from Penguin Intelligence mention obstruction and interference by beings appearing as Peacocks. There has been no public mention of the Peacocks from the Furons or the Rubber Chickens, but several well known Furon outposts have gone missing recently.
Who are the Peacock Protectors? Are they human? Are they alien? Are they supernatural? Only time will tell.
The nearby Sphenisciforme research facility was recently discovered to be deserted. The scientists were believed to be involved in research endangering all human life.
The Peacock Protectors are looking for any leads on where the scientists might have escaped to. Please add your information by inscribing on the provided log.
Bring your own inscription device. Beware of Furons and other muggles.
This would probably be a 1 difficulty except for the high muggle presence.
A BIG Yaa-Hoo for RobAndJacie for FTF!!
