The Elite crew of the KAGon Empire Flagship "Puzzled" has now entered orbit around the Matildian Home World, where Princess Aarianahhh is now living. The Matildians, well known for their Puzzle solving skills, and endless Barrie(or was it "Berry") fields, are also known for their patience (Quite a necessary skill when dealing with the Princess). After many, many days of orbiting around the planet, and Officer Snooze shuttling delegations back and forth, the crew was getting restless.
Officer Coman978: "Captain, I have a 5/5 Puzzle I could throw at them, camouflaged in a way even I could not recognize, let me have a shot at them!"
Officer Snooze: " I agree with Coman978, my ancestors have been known to shuttle a whole clan, even pink rabbits at times, but this is getting crazy !"
Captain Bullockzzz: "Crazy is as crazy does, my friend, don't get mad, it's all about them!"
Finally, a few days later, with Princess Aarianahhh on board in the guest room (The brig) the crew was ready to go home.
Coman978:"Captain, we have a little problem, our Navigation systems are still down..."
Captain Bullockzzz:" We are on day 175 of the year, we have to be back before the 186th day, which means we will have to go at top speed , but where to????, I suppose we go to the left, and forget the rest"
Commander Kilroy:"Captain, I don't mean to go Off on a Tangent, but I drew a map of our trip, and with some basic calculations, I think we can get home in time"
Captain Bullockzzz:"Wow! Great Drawing!"
Commander Kilroy:"Yes, I know, it runs in the family, and started eons ago with Valentine's Day cards!"
Officers Coman978 and Snooze:" We want to go home!!! You know how ruthless Queen Chouchoune (Descendant of the Matounes) can be when you don't complete her missions!That is how the pink rabbits almost became extinct! "
Commander Kilroy : " OK, here is the map. We started our journey West of our Home world, it took us exactly 55 days before we left orbit on a tangent course, normally, a whole orbit would have taken us 145.843515 days. We then followed the Ferret Kingdom borders (The Ferret Kingdom being a regular Hexagon), and then bordered the AMIAG Territory, on its adjacent side to the Ferret Kingdom. Staying on the same heading, we then entered the Matildian Home world orbit, on which we have been travelling for exactly 107 days. At this rate, it would take us 181.457183 days to complete a whole revolution of this world. If I can figure out the Alpha and Beta angles, I'm sure we'll know where to go !"
Coman978, Snooze, and Bullockzzz : "??????"
Can YOU take them Home?
Author's note : I want to thank all the cachers who readily agreed to participate in this story (all three episodes : this one, GC3CXYF and GC3CZAR), without knowing what it was going to be, and also Genoxi, for inspiring me with one of his caches for this last episode. I just hope you have as much fun decoding these as I had writing them.
