Intercepted Transmission from Secret Transceiver on GPS Satellite 28.

'Okay, I am going to place the package at GPS coords..' The line fell silent for a moment.
'Omega?, -what?, -what are the coordinates?!' asked an anxious voice.
'Hold on. -Damn it! They've seen me, I.. I will keep this channel open - but be quiet...'
The line fell silent once again.
Minutes later the voice came back, now just a whisper 'Damn r-gerk, it's flat again...'
The whisper continued 'I will Resist them as long as I can...b..but if I don't get away return to Base 2 and check on the old Amber.'
Muffled and tinny noises were heard then nothing but static.


Seconds later sounds similar to that of an old ZX81 loading could be heard. - It was a data transmission.

The data transmission contained the information below.
