The Furon device is *NOT* at the coordinates above!

Greetings Cryptosporidum-623!

It has been many solar cycles since we last received a meaningful update from you regarding the Furon conquest of Sol-III.

Frankly, it seems that you've gotten a bit too lazy in focusing so much attention on all those so-called "Lye-Brare-Eeee" invasions and negotiating a deal for your "Alien Overlord" line of mind-control sandwich condiments (although we do find the concept for pureeing tomatoes, toenails, and alien flatulence into a single mouth-watering product rather intriguing!)

The Furon High Council has therefore decreed that it is time to get you back into the field, doing what it is that you do best (whatever that is supposed to be!)

On that note, we have a little mission for you and your clones! 

Several hours ago, we dispatched a C.A.N.N.O.L.I (Communications Alien Noble Noting Orders & Lengthy Ideas) to your sector. The C.A.N.N.O.L.I is a little bit hairy and rather small, which is nothing like *my* C.A.N.N.O.L.I as it would have been far too gargantuan to fit into a single matter teleportation pod, let me reassure you of that!!

Errrr -- What I meant to say was although this C.A.N.N.O.L.I is small, its significance is in how it is utilized! You see, this C.A.N.N.O.L.I contains an identity "hit list" (stored rectally, of course) of all the local lifeforms on Sol-III targeted for immediate disintegration.

Using the encoded communications image provided below (or attached in the gallery), translate the location of the C.A.N.N.O.L.I and proceed to those coordinates to locate the creature (see the rules below). Carefully review the hit list and, while you're there, be certain to add your own personal identifier to the sheet as well... so... we can verify that you achieved your goal, of course!

Now, pay attention Crypto because this is VERY IMPORTANT! There are special RULES for C.A.N.N.O.L.I retrieval that you must abide by to avoid any messy situations:

• Carefully feel around for the C.A.N.N.O.L.I. Be extra thorough!
• Lightly grasp the C.A.N.N.O.L.I and pull it straight down from its hiding area
• Gently twist the tip of the C.A.N.N.O.L.I to have it reveal its contents. Remember, only twist on the TIP!
• When re-hiding the C.A.N.N.O.L.I, please be certain that it is properly inserted (and secured)

Why are you laughing? You've got an important job to do, Crypto! I suggest you get started immediately!

Still your superior officer (in case you've forgotten),

-- Pox

Grabbing a few caches that were obtainable during our quest of finding the new virtual cache in Denver. Found with fearthefish and chihuahuajill. fearthefish had a hint on how to decode this one from the aliens but needed my help in locating the beacon device. Liked the container here.

Found GC62QQR - Crypto's Space Cannoli, on September 11, 2017 using Cachly for iOS.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, Cryptosporidium-623 for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!

PayMeCache and I joined forces with chihuahuajill to complete the new virtual cache published recently. We needed to get information from numerous locations in and around Denver, and made sure to get any other caches that were near one of our stops. This is one of our finds.

Though the final for this puzzle is not very close to any of the stages for your new virtual, the posted coordinates are. I recently got a nudge for how to solve this puzzle, so we made the detour and grabbed this one. Since PayMeCache both enjoys receiving and giving rectal examinations, it was only fitting that he located the cannoli and extracted the log. We decided to sign logs today as Paythechihuahua, and inked this one accordingly. After replacing the cool container, we went back to conquering the remaining stages of the virtual. Thanks for the fun hide.

Thanks for the fun hide.

Grabbed this one with fearthefish and PayMeCache while out doing the new virtual. TFTC.

What a clever puzzle! I admit I needed a hint but when I got it I had to laugh. That was very well constructed. How do you come up with this stuff??

I was out caching with my family grabbing some of the DPL series and this lined up perfectly with one of them. As I was describing what a cannoli is to my son, he immediately had a desire to try one! Thankfully there is a nice little market very close to GZ where they had some.

As for the hide, I started off in totally the wrong spot. Hopefully others avoid my mistake as it led to a nice little cut on my thumb. But then all the hints and clues came together and I knew where I had to focus. As my wife and son headed for the cannolis of the edible category, my daughter exclaimed that wondrous phrase that's music to every geocachers ear - "found it!"

And sure enough she had avoided alien detection and was able to come up with a great find.

Thanks for the hide Cryptosporidium-623!
