Starship Enterprise
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) is a starship in the fictional Star Trek universe, depicted in four network television series, six feature films, and countless books and fan-created media. The original Star Trek series (1966–1969) features a voice-over by Enterprise captain, James T. Kirk (William Shatner), which describes the mission of Enterprise as "to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before". The ship's design "formed the basis for one of sci-fi's most iconic images," though the ship has gone over many changes over the course of its television and cinematic appearances.
The Puzzle.
You will need to solve the below puzzle to work out the location of the cache itself.
While at High School Brother Colin met a most excellent dude, Rufus, who had a phone box that could travel through time. Brother Colin needed to pass his History subject with an amazing presentation so he headed back in time to find a few people to help him out.
After receiving a ‘catch you later dude’ from his other self, Rufus and Brother Colin stepped into the phone box with a ‘brace yourselves Amigos’ they were on their way through the circuits of history. They landed firmly in 18N5, in Austria where the French had just invaded as part of the Battle of Austerlitz. Returning home and with Rufus leaving him, Brother Colin turned and was a little surprised that Napoleon had been sucked back through the circuits of history with them.
With this one simple mistake Brother Colin had a great idea to go and collect a few others to ensure he would pass his history presentation.
With a quick flick through the pages of time, the western movement through the 19th century was settled on for his next stop. Arriving in New Mexico in 18E9, Brother Colin was feeling a little parched and made his way to the saloon. Without being carded, he was handed a beer to rehydrate. Billy the kid was in town looking for a couple of blokes to help him out in a card game and Brother Colin happily put his hand up. When things didn’t go to plan it was time to move on and move on fast … to Ancient Greece.
A big jump back in time to M10BC, Brother Colin grabbed his history book and checked out So-craz and was reminded of the great quote that true wisdom truly consists in knowing that ‘you know nothing, dude’.
With Socrates on board, Brother Colin was feeling confident with his history report. The next stop saw them in England, to check out the castle of Prince Henry in the 1Qth Century. But as it turned out he wasn’t there for Prince Henry, he fell in love dude, and wanted the Princesses to help him with his history report. With a knight’s battle fought, a threat of the Iron Maidens and a near death experience avoided they had the babes, I mean Princesses, well almost.
After a little mix up in times, Brother Colin, So-Craz and Billy made their way to 1R01 for a little extra credit. The stop was a short-lived stop in Vienna with Billy quickly lassoing the Freud Dude and back into the phone box and onto Kassel in Germany to listen to a little Ode to Joy produced by the great man Beet-hoven. As quick as that, they flashed into 18D0 they flashed out.
After the quick stop in the 19th century it was time to flash back to the 15th century. 142B to be exact to visit the Noah’s wife, Joan. The stop in Orleans, France was a surprise to Joan and with Brother Colin stretching is hand out to her mid pray she happily joined the adventure.
Rolling further back in time to 1A09, Brother Colin came across someone a little closer in his resemblance. They landed in Outer Mongolia to a rather ravaged Genghis Khan, Brother Colin asked ‘Want a Twinkie, Genghis Khan? Say please!’ … ’mmmm ...’ responded Genghis. With that simple offer of more food he had another part of his history assignment in the bag.
He needed to visit ‘The House’ in 18C3, the 16th American president would ensure his history assignment would get him the A+ he needed. With just one more stop the phone box went a little out of their way and was in need of repair, the antennae were broken.
They were back in San Dimas, with everything Brother Colin needed for his history assignment, but this was just a pit stop … a minor ‘Prehistoric pit stop’ dated P,000,000 BC. So, make things just a little more enjoyable Brother Colin handed out canned chocolate pudding and chewing gum. With some dodgy repairs and fingers crossed and everyone back into the phone box and final repairs were made to the antennae.
Finally landing in San Dimas at the right time with all of history assignment intact, it was time for Brother Colin to finally pass a subject. Party On Dude!
