Geocache Description:

The Third Installment of the TMP Quest!

Congrats to Team Geofrog on FTF!

Please take note of the color of this cache container, as it will be required to find the final.

Welcome to Manor Park!

The TMP Quest has begun! This quest will be many caches, that will be placed over a period of time. In short, this cache series is somewhat similar to buzzy_cacher's Bond...James Bond Multi (my favorite cache thus far), and the It's A Small World series, started by a group of users, and added onto by other users (myself included).

This series leads up to one cache that will be a special final. You can do the caches in whatever order you choose, (however I will be placing them in order, over time), and the final will be placed last. To attempt the final, a puzzle cache, you must have done all the other TMP Quest caches in the past. This will be a fun and interesting series! Good luck!

ABOUT THIS CACHE:
This cache is placed very carefully, and you need to be careful when removing it. It is a small bison tube, and please return it exactly as you found it. I'm not a very good log-roller myself, but I suggest when rolling the log, putting it in the top part of the bison tube first, so it fits in the bottom. Enjoy!

STORY: Burder went back the next day to the area, very late at night to hopefully find something by the water, and surprise, there was something there. While Burder had been walking through the park, some sort of ship about 80 feet wide had fallen into the shore to the left of him (left of the cache).

A large crackling noise came from the ship, and Burder was afraid it would explode! However, a small hatch dropped from the orange ship, and out came 3 aliens, wearing yellow cloaks.

"Greetings Burder", they said in unison, "we come in peace, as long as you can assist us". "We come from a galaxy not far from yours, yet your people are unaware of other beings such as us. We are beings that require water, and that is why you have been closer to us near bodies of water. Our mission here is done, we have placed our probes on your planet, which will be used to transport materials and tools to your people. These probes will also help you be protected from intergalactic disasters, such as black holes and asteroids. However, these probes extract groundwater that is undrinkable to you, yet for us, it is highly useful." We plan to return to our home planet soon, but this time, we need a large open grass area for our mothership to arrive here. You must go to the land of AMILED and ELADSIT to use a probe, which will give you the coordinates of where you will direct us to our leader to our final destination. You have trusted in other beings Burder, and for that we are grateful. The Xel'Naga promise to guard you throughout your life. Now go forth! Complete your quest!

And they returned into the ship, and after 20 seconds, a glowing light came from inside the ship, and it retreated into the water. Burder could not believe his eyes, yet he knew he had to hurry....
