FISHING FOR FEATHERS

Operation: Fox Fried Chicken
Bentley:
All right everyone, my analysis of that black ball in Tsao's basement was very... interesting. (Picture of the black ball). It's some sort of anchor. Tsao wasn't sent into this time alone— the tower (picture), the tea shop (picture), even the wall (picture) came with him. That black orb is keeping it all here. If we release it, then all of that—and him—goes back to the present. (Picture of the area 1 stuff vanishing).
Carmelita:
That's going to make it hard to arrest him. (Picture of Carmelita arresting him, game 3)
Bentley:
Yes, well, that's why we're going to make sure he doesn't come back. It's time for Operation: Fox Fried Chicken. (Title slide)
Henriette:
That is a darn awful name, turtle.
Bentley:
We have a few different objectives here. First things first, we need to destroy Tsao's operation. (Picture of the tower). If there's nothing for him to return to, then a fresh start would be very expensive in time and money. (Picture of the piles of gems and gold) Too expensive for him to get before Carmelita catches up to him again if he escapes us here. In order to pull that off, we're going to need to take care of his ships. All of them. (Picture of the ships). Henriette's made a great start with her fellow pirates—
Henriette:
Privateers!
Bentley:
Privateers, right. But he has a large fleet of smaller ships that can't go as far, but that he uses to bring in the loot. (Picture of the smaller ships, which look like they may be up to short sea voyages at the best). The water in that harbor is too shallow to go after them with your big ship, Henriette, so you may have to use some... unconventional means. (Picture of Bentley staring at the sea with ?'s over his head. Drawn in sharpie.)
Henriette:
Already got i' planned, Bentley. Continue.
Bentley:
Right. While Henriette's taking care of that, I need Murray to make some mayhem in town. (Picture of Murray in town). Forget subtlety: I want that teahouse destroyed, with the secret passage rendered unusable. Do whatever you have to to knock that option out of commission. (Picture of Murray being... Murray.)
Murray:
Oh yeah! I am ON IT, Bentley! It's been too long since I've gotten to engage in some high-quality destruction!
Bentley:
...Right. In case things go haywire, we'll leave a rowboat for you at the end of the escape tunnel. (Picture of said rowboat there). Between his boats being destroyed and the destruction of his escape route, General Tsao (Picture of General Tsao) will be outraged. If my psychological profile is correct (Picture of Bentley with a clipboard), he'll storm out of his tower to take care of business. Murray, you should wait at the wall (Picture of the wall) and Henriette, you stay at sea (picture of the boats) in case he tries for those, but he shouldn't get that far. Because that's when the three of us will get to work. (Picture of Sly, Bentley, and Carmelita).
Carmelita, you engage Tsao in a fight on the beach. (Picture of Carmelita fighting Tsao) I don't know if you'll be able to beat him, but you should at least keep him engaged while Sly and I take care of our parts.
Carmelita:
Oh, I am absolutely going to take him out. I'll have him cuffed before anyone else has their job half finished.
Bentley:
Sly, once Tsao is out of the tower you need to climb it. (Picture of Sly climbing it). I'll give you a special bag; if you use your cane, you should be able to steal all the items on the middle landing without touching them. (picture of Sly golfing with his cane). My analysis shows they're all made with pieces of that mind-control stone you and Carmelita got earlier (picture of the stone); if you don't touch them and they all go in the bag, you have a 98.7% chance of remaining unaffected.
Sly:
Huh. Not sure what we'll do with them after, though (picture of the jewelry). Selling them just wouldn't be right, and the idea of keeping them gives me the creeps.
Carmelita:
We're handing them over as evidence—
Bentley:
Sorry, Carmelita, but that's too big of a temptation even for an Interpol officer. It's not like one of your own hasn't gone astray before. (Pictures of Neyla and The Contessa flash by on the screen.)
Carmelita:
Grrrr...
Bentley:
We'll figure out how to destroy them later. In any case, I'll make my way back to that room in the basement. (Picture of the weird water-stirring room). I've been working on a more powerful charge for my bombs, and a remote detonation device. (Picture of a giant flippin' remote). Destroying the chains holding the black orb worked last time. (Picture of the black orb). We'll try it again this time. And if Tsao's sucked back to the future with everything else, well...
Sly:
He'll be beaten to a pulp, handcuffed, and left with nothing. Not bad.
Bentley:
We've all got our assignments. So check your weapons and pull on your masks—that means you, Carmelita—and we'll move out. (Picture of Carmelita's mask).
