Operation Michigan - reinforcement agent #01 CoinsAndPins Geocoin

Mission brief:

Several geocoins have come up missing in action in the Michigan area. These coins have served faithfully in the line of geocaching duty, but they still have missions to accomplish. We fear they have fallen behind muggler lines. Intelligence has provided information that shows some of this may even be an inside covert action by unknowing geocachers to hold back further geocoin movements.

We can only hope they have not been tortured for the secret coin activation codes. We also hope the mugglers are abiding by the Geoneva Convention rules.

Location: The area(s) in red indicates your target area:

Mission objective:

You will work alone. Several of you will be air-dropped in strategic locations around the US to start your mission. These areas are where you will start your intelligence gathering to find the inside scoop of muggler operations. Then you will work your way towards Ground Zero. There you will search out every cache in your designated area locating these missing, trackable geotroops.

Risk and Resources:
This is a risky mission as you will be directly subjected to muggler activities, and even possibly severe weather conditions from poorly latched and damaged container units. However, it is imperative these geocoins are recovered in the name of geosecurity. You will also be required to conduct night time operations. You have been equipped with night vision goggles secretly stored under your lapel pin. You are also equipped with aircraft radar technology to help locate hidden caches. We could not supply you with GPS units due to defense budget cutbacks. You will be required to use your skills to convince nearby geocachers to use their GPS units.

Transportation:
During this mission you must seek the help from geocacher tactical transportation vehicles. These could be geomini-van troop carriers, SUV (Special Ultra Velocity) troop carriers, JEEP (jump 'Em Everywhere Potholes) terrain vehicles, 4-Walkers, EGSHENPV (Eco-Green Super High Efficiency Non-Pollution Vehicles), TAVs (Tubular Aero Vehicles), and any other necessary safe modes.

Stealth is key!
During transportation, hide yourselves in fabric containment units which the geocachers carry. Some geocachers may even help hide you closer within their sight such as in small fabric linings located on either hip of their two self propulsion systems they use to move their torsos from place to place. Use caution in these areas as they can subject you to heat stress and closterphobia. If you find yourselves at a geoevent, seek cover immediately! Some of our geocoin troops have come up missing in these areas with no chance of recovery.

Reporting:
You are to report back at each stage of your trip at geocache recoveries and insertions. We require you to electronically transfer photographs of the areas and geocachers you come in contact with. This will greatly help in intelligence gathering as satellite imaging will be limited due to an overuse of muggler TV viewing.

Finds:
Once you locate a lost geocoin, help it fight to move on for accomplishment of its designated mission.

I wish you good luck.
