Job 1: Ruins Reconnaissance
The Safe House is placed on an ancient Indian dwelling on the side of a mountain almost like that of the one in Sly 2. The Cooper Gang and Carmelita are gathered around a table Sly has his cane on the table with one hand on it, while he keenly observes his teammates. Bentley is typing away on his laptop, Murray is shadowboxing, and Carmelita is tinkering with her trusty shock pistol.
On Bentley's signal, Sly exits the Safe House and looks around there's plenty of tall trees with vines going vertical and horizontal, plenty of bodies of water, and of course in the background the ruins of an ancient temple at the forefront is a stone face of a tiger instead of an elephant like what happened during the raid on Rajan's Spice temple years ago. The guards all around are Ibexes, rhinos, cranes, and macaques. Sly goes over to a raised ruin platform and pulls out his binocucom, Bentley's face is on the left while Sly's is on the right.
"Sly we need to figure out who's causing the trouble around here and put an end to it pronto" Bentley says with authority. Carmelita replaces his face.
"This all better not be a complete Deja Vu case like what happened years ago!" she says with intense determination and anger.
"Well Clockwerk is history, perhaps this someone is plotting something similar though a little different." Sly replies to both of them, then puts away his binocucom.
He makes his way over to another side of the ruins, there's a water wheel running on a fast moving river, Sly takes a picture of it.
"Looks like someone prefers old style production, but of what?" ponders Bentley. Sly follows the rod it's connected to and finds a window leading into the temple. Inside the temple, Sly sees what appears to, a grinding wheel mechanism with some red power being produced from a conveyor belt dropping off some strange turnip-like plants. Sly takes a picture of that as well.
"It can't be! Another spice operation?! There's got to be more to this than what we see. Sly there's another window to your right peer into that one too. Sly does as he is told, in the room that he sees, there's a mouse in a yellow jumpsuit wearing glasses looking highly agitated as she assembles with fury some strange devices, Sly takes a picture of her.
"Penelope! What's she doing here?!" says Bentley with shock. Two figures enter the room, both of them are tigers, on the left side is one decked in elegant royal clothes holding a staff, and the other is in a military suit holding a katana. Sly takes a picture of the two discussing some matter though he can't make things out.
"I knew it! Rajan….and El Jefe? Why would they be collaborating, and what's Penelope got to do with all this. Sly there's a few more things we need some photos of. Check the higher grounds. Sly does as he is told, climbing vines and other ruins while either dodging or stealth slamming any guards that get in his way. At the top he notices a huge cannon, electronic and super robust. Sly takes a picture of the big weapon as well.
"Woah! What on earth are those two going to do?! This looks bad, we'd better have a plan of attack to thwart them. Head back to the Safe House Sly!"
