SLIDESHOW
Bentley:
(Picture of the postcard) Whatever Penelope's reason for sending us that postcard, it's clear that things are not right in ancient Egypt (picture of the pyramids). Spotlights (picture), laser security, (close-up of the tower), and these mysteriously guarded crypts (seen now!) are all things that need investigation. And of course, we're still missing our comrade, Sly (Picture of Sly as seen in the end of Game 4, Saudi Arabia).
Carmelita:
If we can't find that ringtail here, Bentley, then I swear—
Bentley:
Calm down Carmelita. Whatever this is, it's the work of a major criminal—don't you still want to bust those? (Several images of Carmelita arresting past villains).
Carmelita:
Hmph.
Murray:
So what do we do, Bentley?
Bentley:
Our goals are two-fold. If Sly is in the area, there's no way he'll agree to leave with this mysterious 'Spice Lord' around messing with things. His family's got history here. (picture of the Thievious Raccoonus.) So we need to work both to find any trace of Sly, and to see what we can do about this mastermind. And to do that, we need more information. Here's the plan.
I've recreated several pyramid-shape radio-transmitters. (picture of toy pyramids.) Sly will recognize them; he helped me create them for my middle school science project, and it's the same basic design. (picture of Sly and Bentley as middle-schoolers, pimply and awkward.) It's low tech enough not to be bothered by the locals. Murray, you'll set them up in locations around town—if Sly's around, he can use them to contact us or recharge his binoc-u-com; if he's not, it'll still let me monitor the area. (picture of the town from above.)
While Murray's doing that, I'll give Carmelita a crash course in this computer (picture of the computer) and then go to town. Getting into those crypts will take some serious work, but it's not beyond my skills. (picture of Bentley typing furiously.) Seeing what they're guarding may give us some insight into what's going on here.
Last of all, Carmelita, you go explore the tower. (picture of the tower.) I can't locate any way across, but your jumping skills should do the trick. (picture of Carmelita across the fissure.) I'll give you a few more radio transmitters to place: that should be enough to cover our bases if Sly is there, and get us a look at whatever evil is being done in this town.
We've all got our assignments. Let's move out.
