M I S S I O N: Bring Mega Home
These are strange times…
Soldiers, as many of you have probably already heard – a few days ago, one of our most important team members went missing. His name is Mega. He was in charge of planning the event, keeping it safe, and making sure the whole mission was running smoothly. His disappearance left a big gap not only in our team but in the whole operation.
I have no choice but to announce a mission called: “Bring Mega Home.”
From the information we have, Mega was flying to Vilnius, but suddenly disappeared from the radar near… a 4 fort. So, soldiers, your task is to go to the last known location of Mega and find out what happened. Time is running out. We must bring Mega back home.
The Place Where Mega Disappeared
We have the location. Soldiers from many countries in Europe and around the world have arrived. Everyone is worried and curious – what happened to Mega?
The fort where Mega’s plane was last seen is known to have unfriendly muggles, who like to spend time there and often cause trouble.
The soldiers were alert, listening carefully, and ready for anything. Soon, one of them shouted:
- Commander, look! Wreckage!
It was Mega’s plane. The area was silent. No one around, just wind and rustling leaves. But Mega was missing.
The soldiers searched everything – every metal piece, every mossy corner. Nothing. Until...
- I found something! – shouted a soldier from the right wing. – This... this was left by him. Look!
A small container was hidden in a old wall, with a folded piece of paper inside. Mega’s handwriting. The message said:
“Soldiers, I know you're trained to find hidden things, so I believe you will find this note. My plane was shot down by muggles. Lately, they’ve become very bold. I heard they plan to take me to… .”
You can validate your puzzle solution with
certitude.
The Chase
As soon as the message was read, the soldiers took action. The mission was clear. That area was known to be dangerous, and the muggle gang activity had been going on for years.
- I’m sure they’re hiding him there. We need to move fast, – said the commander. – Quiet. Fast. Precise.
While one group prepared for the rescue operation, another searched the crash site. Then they noticed something.
- Wait, what’s this? – said a soldier, kneeling in the grass.
Under a piece of metal, they found burnt documents, scattered parts of muggle uniforms, and… a GPS device – damaged, but still barely working.
- They tried to destroy everything. Classic sabotage. They don’t want anyone to know what they did, – said a soldier, checking the ashes.
- Look at this. This device is ours. They reprogrammed it to send the plane into their trap.
This was no accident – the plane wasn’t randomly hit, but purposely sent to the arms of muggles. Mega’s kidnapping was planned.
- This was planned. They were ready, they waited for us. Mega was in the way and they knew it.
The Secret Attack
As the soldiers got closer to Aleksotas, they saw more signs of muggle activity: roads were blocked, radio signals were being jammed, and a nearby radio tower had been destroyed.
- They’re trying to slow us down. They know we’re coming.
The group split up: one team worked to disable the signal jammers and restore communication, the other prepared to break into the possible hideout.
Outside an abandoned warehouse, it was quiet. Too quiet. One scout noticed a strangely lit guard, standing too still.
- That’s… a dummy?! – shouted a young soldier. – They’re trying to trick us!
A gunshot rang out from the other side – a blank warning shot. The trap had been triggered. But the soldiers were ready.
- We have to go now. If we wait – it might be too late for Mega, – said the commander and gave the signal.
During the night, using only night vision gear and encrypted radio signals, the soldiers entered the area. Everything was mined, fenced, and every step was a huge risk. Finally, they found another note from Mega:
“Soldiers… I don’t know if you’ll get here, but if you do – they took me to this place…”
coordinates at the stage.
The Rescue
At last, the soldiers reached the main muggle base. It was protected by only one guard – it was too good to be true.
- This is probably a trap. But we’re going. Quietly. Now.
The door was broken down and inside it was only darkness. You could barely see cold concrete floors, scattered tools, and one camera still recording. Tied to the wall – Mega.
- Finally! I was starting to think I’d have to write and hide a third message! – he said, trying to stand up.
The soldiers ran to him, cut the ropes, and Mega was free. He looked tired, but smile was not gone.
- They kept me here for three days. They were talking about “taking over the mission.” But I managed to leave them a little surprise...
- A bomb? – one soldier asked.
- No, worse. I played a recording of me singing karaoke – the same song – four times in a row. They couldn’t make it.
A Happy Ending
Mega was brought back to base safely. The place where muggles’ operated was shut down. All collected evidence was sent to the International Fort Tribunal.
That night, a quiet gathering took place by the campfire in the fort yard. Mega held a cup of tea, looking at the stars.
- Sometimes you need to get lost… to see how many people are willing to find you, – he said softly.
