Geocache Description:


Dark Kessel


City Magnetic Nano Cache

WARNING : This is a puzzle cache. There IS NOTHING to find at the posted coordinates.

Big Discovery!


With the help of latest COPERNICUS satellite technology we could locate the laboratory of the Men in Dark!
Via hyper-spectral imaging (Sentinel-10 brought into orbit by the nearby Space Elevator) we were able to take the picture below:

MiD working in Lab

Maybe this breakthrough of coordinated high-tech research and combined intelligence will bring us a step further in understanding the mystery of the Men in Dark?
We know quite a number of things about the MiD.

But certainly there is more to discover:

What the hell is a Kessel?
Why is it dark?
Does it(?) live in Brussels?
Why does Kessel only(?) like mysteries?
Does Kessel sometimes wear wadding boots and a fishing rod?
Who is that guy with a hat anyway?

Speaking to the brave researchers who were able to get this unique insight view into the MiD laboratory, they told me that with their geo-phones they also recorded a strange bit of music.
This raises a few more questions about mustachioed persons from central Europe...
As always: Wikipedia is your friend.

Unfortunately the MiD discovered that we were spying on them and retaliated. Further attempts to locate the laboratory from the surface of our planet have been hit by countermeasures from the MiD:

It seems you have to go in circles at the location depicted below:

round and round you shall go

Are you able to locate the MiD's lab and to find the dark object hidden inside(!) the Dark Kessel?
What will happen if you have to face the Dark Kessel?
