I waked into the nearest pub and put a piece of paper on a table.

To find the answer you will need to look backwards.
Let's see how this works out. I'm going easy on them.
330361+2.555340 = 330363.5553 - backwards - 3555.363033
043555.2+163033 = 206588.2 - backwards - 2.885602

Here's the answer:

I ended up googling the number backwards, which was identical to the position of Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus. It's official name is Alpha Tau.

I protect Alpha Tauri.

More specifically Alpha Tauri itself...

Right ascension 04h 35m 55.2
Declination +16° 30′ 33″

Good find, but that could be who he is killing first couldn't it?

-.- I thought your post had said that it was the location of the constellation Taurus. My mistake if that is not what it had originally said.

Good catch Idaho. I'll protect IdahoSciGuy then because he's been great at clue solving in the last few games.
