*****TOP SECRET FOR GEOCACHER EYES ONLY*****
After previously helping to locate The Blob (#GCANFG2) -and especially for news of the incident not being leaked to the media which would have caused panic, the Men in Black (M.I.B.) must once again reach out to the Geocaching Community for assistance with another sensitive matter involving hostile Extraterrestrial Forces.
We have confirmation that the recent incident involving "The Blob" in South Lancaster, Ontario, was actually the first wave of a coordinated Invasion. Our enemy call themselves the "Intergalactic B.R.I.C.S. Alliance" which, not to cause any confusion, represents the Blobs, Rigellians, Insects, Critters, and Shoggoths.
This time we need your help to locate an illegal alien species known as the "Krite", aka "Critters".
The recent capture of the Blob Agent has caused the Alliance to reassess their plans for the time being. However, an Elite team of Krite have been dispatched on a Search and Rescue mission to recover the Blob. M.I.B. Agents typically refer to this species in their plural using the term "Critters". These are relatively small but violent and voracious creatures yet they are not very threatening on their own. They will attack in great numbers and can even join their mass together to combat much larger opponents when neccessary.
We know that the Critters have landed in the area to begin their search not far from where the Blob was intercepted. We have managed to scramble their communication devices leaving them awaiting instruction which buys us some time to locate where they are hiding. While very aggressive and obedient warriors, these simple creatures identify in large groups and are typically incapable of handling decision-making or successfully leading each other. Planet Earth will be safe for as long as we can prevent them from receiving instruction.
Its a big Universe out there. To further complicate matters, there is also a pair of Extraterrestrial Bounty Hunters named Ug and Lee that are pursuing the Critters. While they do not pose a threat against Humans, if they track down the Critters before we do then any opportunity to interrogate our enemy will be lost. Ug and Lee are shapeshifters who do not trust our species and can assume the form of anyone -including people you know. So, be alert! If any of your friends in your Geocaching Party should start to act strange or behave in some mildly inexplicable manner you should absolutely ditch them at the first Rest-Stop and notify us immediately. You can never be certain who may have been compromised.
Your community and the planet both need your help to prevent these Invasive Species from destroying our way of life whether they are Blobs, Critters, or something worse still to come. We must be ready to rise and meet these threats.
If you succeed in locating the Critters, you need only log your find on your Geocaching App and we will take it from there.
While you are doing your research on where to hunt the Critters, take a moment to learn about other Invasive Species in the area that are NOT of the Extra-Terrestrial kind. Maybe you can take a Rod and Reel and bag more than just some "Critters".
Good Luck, Geo Agent and Voluntary M.I.B.

***Men In Black - Field Notes***
The M.I.B. will acknowledge the following accomplishments amongst their Volunteers:
FTF Day and FTF Night (with a photo of only the actual log In-Hand).
Remember to arm yourself with a pen and DO Not publish photos once you have located the Critters. Under NO circumstances can we risk this information being made available to the general public so be sure to keep details of the GZ to a minimum.
Thank You for your Cooperation - M.I.B.
Congratulations to the V-Clan: Grace, Kat, Kevin, and Lynn for a very fast FTF Day! It was wise not to approach the Critters alone.
Congratulations to NancyandAlpha for FTF Night. Unstoppable.
