Geocache Description:

Seventh (and hopefully final) episode of MI6 - Cache Mission Secret Agent Series takes the finder to another park in Nutley. This cache is located in Nicols Park.

- - - Mission Briefing - - -
MISSION: May-Day! May-Day! It has been almost three years since you thwarted the Evil Mastermind’s sinister plot to seize the PICASSO satellite and to throw the world into chaos. We are going to have to pull you out of retirement for the Evil Mastermind has apparently escaped! You will need to use all of your wits and knowledge. Your mission, if you choose it, is to find the Evil Mastermind.
Make sure you follow the directions in the OBJECTIVES section carefully. For the final stage, find the cache container and retrieve the secret formula card. It should lead us to the hidden whereabouts of the Evil Mastermind.

MISSION INTEL: We will be inserting you behind enemy lines. Do not be fooled by the terrain, this a secret enemy complex disguised as a suburban park. There is a enemy training complex for small agents nearby, don’t get sucked into their antics for long. A good pair of eyes is also a valuable asset, look for the virtual clues that our informant has left and please use stealth! Be careful, the roads are supply lines frequented by local hostiles. They won’t hesitate to run you over! Due to it's sensitive nature this is a day mission, we can’t risk sending you at night.

MANDATORY GEAR: * G.P.S. receiver and extra batteries * Mission briefing documents * Writing utensil and personal log pad * Bug Repellant

OPTIONAL GEAR: * Non-reflective camo face paint * IR Flashlight * Parachute * Evac. Signal flares * Standard issue lighting device * Breath Capsules * Advanced Hydration unit

ASSEMBLY AREA: It is preferred that you fly in by hang glider but the previous agent was blown off course and got tangled on some power lines, so insert by land. Park at the following coordinates: N40 49.940 W74 09.439

OBJECTIVES:
Stage 1: The above coordinates lead to a virtual clue left by our informant. The clue is a four-digit number ABCD (you will know you have the correct number because the digits add up to 18). Once you have the number plug it into the following formula:
N40 49.XYZ, W074 09.xyz
Where X = C, Y = (B-C)+B and Z = (A+D). And x= A+(B-C) y= A-(B-C) and z= A-D-(B-C)
These are the coordinates to stage 2.
Stage 2: Proceed to the second coordinates where the informant has left a five-digit number EFGHI (you will know you have the correct number because the digits add up to 20). The final cache is located at N40 49.G(F+I)(E-G) W74 09.F(E-G)6 Locate the cache, sign the log and copy the formula to your personal log pad. Please return the formula and log to the cache.

HOSTILE ACTIVITY: Be discreet! The area is saturated with enemy spies walking guard dogs. It is imperative that you are not seen, heard, or discovered by the enemy. If you become lost, captured, or discovered, Cache Mission HQ will disavow any knowledge of you or your mission. Other operators may be in the area, feel free to team up to complete the mission. Beware of double agents!

EXTRACTION: The extraction will problematic. There are no beacons to guide you out and a chopper pickup is considered too risky so you are on your own.

LAST WORDS: E-mail the formula to Cache Mission HQ. An operator will direct you to proceed with a mission command log. Should you find cache compromised please immediately contact Cache Mission HQ.
