ACME Mission Brief
Operation:.......Black Forest
Threat Level:....Highest
Risk Level:......Extreme
Mission:
Recover deadly formula from missing agent
Notes:
One of our top agents has gone missing. He was investigating the evil organization V.I.L.E. They have been trying to create a virus to unleash on millions of innocent people. We believe our agent has stolen the formula from them and is trying to keep this formula out of the hands of V.I.L.E. At the very least we need this formula in our hands so that we can get right to work on a cure.
Our last contact with the missing agent was this message picked up on short-wave radio. The audio is very garbled but we believe it contains a list of coordinates to find the formula.
You must get those coordinates and recover the formula. Many lives depend on you. You must not Fail!
Congrats to Serrabou, Engalaand, Networkcacher and Roo for FTF!
I feel privileged that the VP of NOVAGO was FTF my first cache!
