Geocache Description:


THERE IS NOTHING AT THE POSTED COORDINATES SO I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND GOING THERE. All containers have Rite in the Rain log sheets. When stopping please try not to interfere with the flow of traffic.

I remember how much I enjoyed watching the original Star Trek series when I was younger. Over the years I have continued to watch the various Star Trek series and movies and I have many favourite episodes and movies. This series of puzzles relates only to the 79 episodes of the original series not including the pilot episode.

Episode 73 - The Lights of Zetar

In this episode, the Enterprise is en route to Memory Alpha, a planetoid that is home to the Federation's central library. A storm-like phenomenon moving at warp speed is also on course to the planetoid. The Enterprise intercepts the storm, which bypasses the ship's shields and penetrates the hull. The exposure to the storm affects crew members' nervous systems, each in a different way. Lieutenant Mira Romaine, who has been assigned to Memory Alpha, faints from the effects of the storm. McCoy examines Romaine, who seems unresponsive apart from strange grunting sounds. The storm proceeds to Memory Alpha, with the Enterprise in pursuit, and destroys the stations's computer core. Kirk, along with Spock, McCoy, and Scotty beam to the station to inspect the damage.

PUZZLE

I'm not sure how the Federation's central library is organized but knowledge of the system your local library likely uses will help.
