Awesome Mix Vol. 1

Star-Lord has gone off-grid, and it looks like he's back on Terra! The other Guardians of the Galaxy are trying to contact him but they need our help ... and time is short. They've sent me two secure transmissions - they're supposed to lead us to a nearby 'dead drop' that Quill set up for emergency communications. If only I knew how!

  • The first of the transmissions is an audio file, with short snippets of 60s and 70s songs - the sort of music that Quill's always listening to.
  • The second is a text file. The first line of the file is readable, but it seems that the rest was put through another level of encryption prior to transmission.

Alert: You are about to download files that contains details needed to find this geocache. As the geocache owner, I ensure that these files are safe to download. They have not been checked by Geocaching HQ or by the reviewer for possible malicious content. Download these files at your own risk!

I've uploaded the two files here:

Can you make any sense of this? If you find the dead drop, please leave a dated entry in the comms logbook - if Quill is nearby, he'll soon get in touch.

 

Congratulations on the FTF to sheep!.
