There is a new permanent puzzle in Fed II DataSpace. The Magellan Society, an organization that sponsors expeditions and explorations to new planets, are on a recruitment drive to gain new members, and as a test they have organized a treasure hunt that spans many planets in the Solar System. Those who complete the puzzle are granted membership in the society, as well as some little extras as a prize - including a voucher for a ten-day customs exemption certificate. Your name shows up on the SpyNet Review when you complete the puzzle, and the SpyNet Notice tells everyone you are a member of the society.
To start the puzzle, visit the Magellan Society Exhibition, in a new location in Earth's spaceport, and talk to Victor, who is in charge of running the treasure hunt. He will give you a succession of clues, each of which should guide you to a specific location. For each clue, when you find the correct location you will either be given an object, or you will have to pick up the correct object. Go back to the exhibition and Victor will take your object and give you the next clue.
The puzzle is aimed at Commanders and Captains, to encourage them to explore the planets. Anyone can do the puzzle, but those lower ranks get some extra help - they are told which planet each clue relates to. More experienced players are expected to be able to work that out for themselves.
You should be aware that none of the objects or solutions can be obtained by going through the tour of the Solar System, which is just holograms!
Don't worry if you don't finish the puzzle all at once - your progress is saved over resets, so you can carry on where you left off. If you lose an object that you haven't yet taken back to Victor, you can just go back and get another one.
Congratulations to Angel, who was the first player (outside the test team) to solve the puzzle and join the Magellan Society. Altogether, 21 people completed the puzzle in the first 24 hours.
