Climate Chaos: The Beginning Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

qichina: Sadly, I'm archiving this cache because Groundspeak is increasingly imposing pointless and unreasonable "rules" that are not published in the public domain. I do not accept that this is fair practice. There is no independent review body to appeal reviewer's apparently arbitrary decisions.

Normal businesses do not require total and absolute obedience from their customers.

Geocache Description:

This cache is the first in the Climate Chaos series of 5 caches. Finding this cache will lead you to 3 other intermediary caches which will point you to a secret website detailing the location of the final cache.

The five Climate Chaos caches are:

The earth is changing. Driven by man's relentless demand for fuel, the planet is warming up. Storms rage across the globe, flash floods sweep away whole valleys and villages, droughts force migrations and wars, forest fires destroy vast areas, and governments seems powerless to act. Meanwhile, the chilly silence of the polar wastes is broken by loud cracks as thousands of tonnes of ice break free and begin to float towards warmer waters.

There is hope. The famous scientist, Professor Dyson, has a plan. He has assembled a crack team of brilliant minds to work on a solution - carbon-free energy. His vision is for every man, woman and child on the planet to have their own energy source, utilising revolutionary new technologies. For this to be achieved, he needs specialised, esoteric skills.   And so he has engaged 3 people, sworn to secrecy, to work with him on the project. Rupurt Ursus, a brilliant mathematician, is supplying the theoretical framework. John Vickers, a remarkable engineer with experience at the CERN Laboratory, is designing the prototype. Strangely, the third member of the team is rumoured to be Dawn Whicker, the esteemed New Age spokeswoman. Like the others, she has not been heard from for some time.

But there is trouble ahead. The shadowy Mobexx organisation has become aware of the Professor's research. They know that, should he succeed, their nefarious global powers of influence and corruption will be weakened. Mobexx This cannot be allowed to happen. And so, dozens of Mobexx agents, equipped with the latest surveillance technology, have gone out into the field, to find Professor Dyson and his team and stop them - at any cost.

Will Mobexx succeed? Or will the team be able to create the revolutionary new energy source, and make it available across the world, in time to save the planet? No-one knows. But it seems the Professor has got wind of the plot against him & his project: an e-mail from the Professor to his team has been leaked via the internet:

"None of us is safe anymore. We need to hide our findings for now.
We need to go public as soon as possible, as soon as I've got your final contributions. I don't want to say too much in this medium, so let's seek some guidance from a bit of alchemy: Antimony.Barium.Polonium + Caesium + Radium + Tantalum + Thallium, Strontium - (Zinc + Oxygen).Helium. Plutonium + Cerium
Keep communications as infrequent and as secret as possible, until you hear from me. Keep your wits about you, and remember: crystals are the key - they make everything work."
Experts have debated what this might mean. Is this some magic formula for a new fuel or has the Professor finally flipped?
