GoldenDaze: TOP SECRET // ROMINT // WHITESTONE // EYES ONLY

Starfleet Command
Stardate 20150206
Mission Orders GCTCY5-D

Due to the recent thawing of diplomatic relations between the Federation and the Romulan Empire, Starfleet Command concludes that the continued operation of the WHITESTONE mission carries unacceptable risk of discovery. In accordance with Starfleet orders, the Technical Intelligence division has commanded the intelligence pod to self-destruct, fusing itself into a harmless lump of stone.

Federation starships should remain well clear of the area pending further developments.

Riker out.

Geocache Description:

New orders from Starfleet Command...

Starfleet Command
Stardate 20060210
Mission Orders GCTCY5

This is Admiral Riker of Starfleet Command. We have lost contact with the USS Henrico, a small survey ship collecting intelligence along the edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone. We believe that the ship has been destroyed. Before its destruction, however, the ship jettisoned its collected data in a small archive pod. The pod was programmed to land on a nearby planet, where it would camouflage itself appropriately for the local environment and indigenous technology.

The survey ship USS Gadsen picked up six encoded data bursts that we believe was a homing signal from the archive pod; this burst data is shown below.

Your mission is to determine the location of this archive pod, and to recover the vital intelligence data contained within. The coordinates provided will direct you to the appropriate sector.

In accordance with the Prime Directive, you must not be identified by any members of the indigenous culture on your destination planet, and you must not influence their behavior in any way.

Good luck!

Riker out.
