Geocache Description:

As is customary, the listed coordinates are not the cache's location, but it's within a couple of miles. There's no need to visit the above coordinates, and given what is produced there, you probably wouldn't want to go there anyway.

A starship from the Planet Vendidron, the arid ninth planet in the Quadriplex System, has landed on earth. Although the ship is disguised to blend in with traditional 21st Century architecture, it is easy to locate.

From the ship, a message written in Pentanese, one of the scripts of Vendidron, is transmitted. Strangely enough, the language is (mostly) in English. A second transmission is made, using Latin-style characters, but it appears to be encoded so that only someone able to read in Pentanese can decipher it.

Pentanese Script, eh?

The cache is a water-proof match container with some camoflauge. Happy hunting!
