3. GAZZOLINE Outpost:
LOCATION: 28040 Barstow Rd, Barstow
TIME LIMIT- 30 mins
MISSION:
Welcome, brave adventurers, to a crucial juncture in your journey through the wasteland: The Gazzoline Depot. Here, your wit, courage, and allegiance will be tested by none other than Master Blaster, the guardian of the most sought-after resource- Gazzoline.
Upon Arrival:
As you enter the gates of the Depot, you will be greeted and guided to refresh and prepare for the meeting that could change your fate. ENTER THE FRONT DOORS OF the facility and stay inside the compound. Enjoy a meal, for it might be the calm before the storm of challenges you're about to face.
Meeting Master Blaster:
Once you are finished with your meal the guard will take you to meet Master Blaster. This is your chance to join forces with the Depot in an alliance that promises not just survival, but prosperity.
The Bracelet of Allegiance:
Your first test? Show your allegiance. We are impersonating the Dust Devils tribe, but wearing their symbol on the correct wrist is key to signifying your status as a warrior or entertainer of the tribe. Choose wisely, for this simple act speaks volumes in the language of the wasteland. For those who pass the first test, a greater challenge awaits.
Review the coded message below received from a spy who has infiltrated the Dust Devils tribe. The message contains crucial information about a cultural tradition important to Master Blaster—a tradition involving wearing a bracelet to signify allegiance. The spy, however, couldn't confirm which wrist the bracelet should be worn on for the upcoming meeting. Teams must decipher the code to learn the correct wrist and prove their loyalty.
Intercepted Code:
"Among the Dust Devils, strength and honor guide our path. The hand that wields the power also bears the mark of our allegiance. In the presence of our warlord, we show our loyalty, not with the hand that strikes, but with the hand that holds the heart. To meet Master Blaster with respect, And wear our tribute with no defect, Choose the wrist that's truly right, But not the one that's in plain sight. The hand of power, might, and fight, Is opposite the one that's right."
Which wrist will you wear the Bracelet of Allegiance?
Your Mission:
Each team will be tasked with a vital mission: transport Gazzoline through the dangerous terrains of the Russian Territory to Barter Town. Success is not just about the cargo but INSTEAD being able to track down the location of the Russian Scientist who created Project Starfire being held by Master Blaster.
If you choose the incorrect wrist for the bracelet you will need to concoct a clever distraction to keep Master Blaster entertained to get a fuel pod. Here are a few suggestions to consider:
-
The Inexplicable Spontaneous Dance Routine:
-
The Spontaneous Stand-up Routine:
-
The Masterpiece artifact for sale… They may even buy it….
-
The 'Spontaneous' Karaoke Session:
-
or something you come up with on your own....
Remember, this mission demands resourcefulness and quick thinking. The success of this operation relies on you.
RECONNAISSANCE

RUSSIAN CHECKPOINT
LOCATION: TIME LIMIT- 5 mins
We have intel that the Russian SPETSNAZ has set up a Inspection CHECKPOINT in the area. Make sure that you have the correct code number sequence on your driver side door placard or you may need to pay a bribe to get access.
The Wolverines have intercepted a transmission that the Russians are sending in a convoy disguised as wasteland vehicles to retrieve the PROJECT STARFIRE. Intel suggests that each vehicle will be marked with a 6 digit code to signify that it is a Russian Vehicle. This is perfect for our mission. To gain access past the checkpoint you will need to have a correct vehicle reference number displayed on your Vehicle. We were able to have one of our agents create the door placard which is being used in the wastelands to identify the Russian vehicles. Now you will need to decipher the number sequence in order to gain access without any problems. You will need to improvise your best Russian accent to get past the guard. The wrong code could land you in trouble and require a bribe of gold coins at the checkpoint.
A "numbers station" is a radio station that broadcasts only a series of numbers, representing coded words with instructions to agents operating on foreign soil. Our agent was able to gain access to the station and broadcast a brief message consisting of the vehicle display reference number- but encoded in such a manner that the information would not be obvious to the Wastelanders. Figure out the correct sequence of numbers you will need to use in order to gain proper access to the Wastelands?
The broadcast consisted of the following codes:
"Kroner. Ufo urgent. Network. Stealth Reentry. Canine. Weighted.”
ANSWER (6 NUMBERS): _ _ _ _ _ _
DECIPHER THE CODE-Once finalized place the number decals you received on your vehicle placard for your disguise prior to arriving at the toll booth to gain access. If it is incorrect, hopefully, you can bribe your way in with some gold.

6. The RUSSIAN WEAPONS FACILITY escape hatch
OPEN FIRE
MISSION:
Find the Russian weapons facility escape hatch and the engineer, decipher the FINAL INTERCEPTION message to find the 4 digit numeric code to open the safe and retrieve the PROJECT STARFIRE TEST UNIT!
LOCATION: TIME LIMIT- 10 mins
OVERVIEW:The Wolverines have successfully located the escape hatch of the Russian Weapons facility, which is situated approximately 3 miles away from the actual facility. An intricate tunnel system is used to access this exit. One of the Russian Engineers was able to escape through the hatch and sent out an encrypted message, which we managed to intercept. Upon deciphering the message, we discovered that there is a 4-digit safe code required to gain access to PROJECT STARFIRE, which is currently stored in the safe. The Engineer has the PROTOTYPE in his possession and is awaiting an EVAC from the Russian infantry. We believe this second message contains the encoded code for unlocking the safe. It is essential that your team travels through the Wastelands to reach the escape hatch before Dragov the Russian special forces leader arrives to retrieve the safe. Once you arrive at the hatch, use the 4 digit code and open the safe.:

7.1-FIND TOADY IN BARTERTOWN in order TO SELL THE FUEL PODS TO MASTER BLASTER and plant the tracking device
7.1 Mission:
When arriving park in the designated area below in the satellite image. Find TOADY and Meet Master Blaster. We will use the deal to sell the fuel pods as a distraction to place the tracking device on the vehicle without being caught and don't blow your cover or there could be a consequence. ONCE THE DEAL IS DONE , GET FOOD AT THE OUTDOOR BBQ PIT AND EAT THEN GAMBLE IN THE BLACK JACK TOURNAMENT THEN LEAVE TO THE NEXT CHECKPOINT.
Overview:
Master Blaster the Wastelander Warlord will be transporting the Russian engineer with the schematics. We need to have a tracking device on the vehicle to see where they move the engineer.
The General was able to arrange a deal with Toady, Master Blaster's Henchmen to sell the fuel pods to Master Blaster. Fuel pods are a highly sought-after item so we piqued Master Blasters interest. We will have an ulterior motive than simply selling the fuel pods.
A team member will sell fuel pods to distract Master Blaster while another team member plants a tracking device using a Pro Eagle jack on Master Blasters vehicle.
Your team will need to do this without being caught. Once the tracking device is planted, wrap up the negotiation deal, sell the fuel pods for as much gold as you can, and get out of there before Master Blaster changes the deal and things go south.
supplies:
- Magnetic Tracking device to plant underneath Master Blasters car
- Fuel pods to sell
