Greetings, Agent ABANZR, if that really is your name! On behalf of the staff and faculty of Anatolii and Natasha’s Tradecraft Institute, AaNTI, I would like to welcome you to Dead Drop Friedrichstrasse! When your controller transmits the instruction, “Meet me at Friedrichstrasse Station”, you are to go instead to the dead drop in the green space whose coordinates are listed here.
This is the third Geocache in our Dead Drop series as shown below:
Dead Drop Grigorii GCQB7K Captured by Enemy Agents
Dead Drop Méi Guì GC1PM39 Active
Dead Drop Friedrichstrasse GC35DQG Active
Dead Drop ZZZ GC380N7 Active
Dead Drop INFINITY GC4AQXN Active
Your training scenario is set in this harmless appearing green space popular with dog owners. In this seemingly pastoral setting, your mission is to locate Dead Drop Friedrichstrasse and leave the purloined information for your controller to collect later.
Approach instructions: Park on the street a short distance away after reconnoitering ingress and egress for this drop site. The approach is well tended lawn but is TOO STEEP for a lone wheelchair.
As you near the coordinates listed, you will observe an historical stone structure in the shape of an “L” in the north east corner of the park. At the intersection of the “L”, on the inside, look for a metal rain downspout. Your GPS signal will degrade as you get closer to the stone structure but look directly beneath the downspout for a concealment beneath the downspout pipe and next to the stone wall.
Once you see or feel the container, face the park and ensure that nobody is observing you. A lawn chair or towel can be used along with a book as suitable camouflage for this purpose and you can take a seat in order to unscrew the lid of the container without attracting undue attention.
The inner container is a camo Easter egg about 2.5 cubic inches in volume with a log scroll. Bring your own writing tool. Be careful when replacing the container and please cover hide with the stone chips to blend it in again when you finish. We have followed standard filedcraft guidelines in placing this dead drop. The placement is easy to describe, easy to find, and affords the agent with clear field of view while accessing the cache.
Remember CITO: Cache In Trash Out. If you carry a garbage bag and pick up some litter as soon as you disembark from your super spy car/rocket sled, you can claim to be a harmless Geocacher if challenged by enemy agents. Just show your “bag of convincingly real litter materials” as verification of your cover story for being where you are before flashing the enemy with your memory eraser PDA attachment and then exfiltrate to EVB QR WNARVEB for a few exotic beverages, shaken, not stirred.
On behalf of all the staff and faculty of AaNTI, let me wish you all the best on your mission, Agent ABANZR!
Please report back if the log scroll is too full to sign so that it can be replaced quickly.
(Note: millions of muggles world wide have been volunteered to play the roles of enemy agents and ignorant bystanders.)
