Assisting the Heist

AtH is a concept of what could happen instead of ItA.

## Prologue

Henry walks out and checks his mail.

His letter says:

*City library.*

*Midnight.*

*I'll be waiting.*

*J.N.*

You can...

**Ignore the message:** Henry goes to sleep. He wakes up at the start of ItA

**Meet J.N.:** Cuts to a shadowy room.

A figure steps forward.

"I am Jeoffery Nickum, leader of The Network." (I made this OC BEFORE I knew about Geoffery the Toppat)

"Help us steal the Olmec Opal, and you will be rewarded." Henry shrug-nods.

## Official Start?

Henry and Jeoffery are in helicopters.

"The opal is in that base." he says over the comms.

You can use...

**Teleporter(fail):** Henry is teleported to The Wall.

MSG:"No! Not Yet!"

**Parachute(fail):** Henry grabs the backpack under his seat and jumps with it. He falls to his death.

MSG: "Haven't you learned? Don't assume! Or should you?"

**Batman:** Henry dons a Batman costume. He uses the grapple gun to get to the roof of the base.

Once he lands, an alarm goes off, and three guards rush out.

You can...

**Timeout(fail):** The guards see Henry and shoot him.

MSG: "Seriously bro, work on your reflexes."

**Dance:** Henry does the distraction dance. The guards join in and are distracted. He slips through the door which gives you Path A

**Defect:** Henry defects to the Government. He offers to help protect the Olmec Opal. The guards agree and call reinforcements, AKA Charles. (Because Wynaut) and this gives you Path B

## Criminal Path (Path A)

There are three hallways...

**Left(fail):** Henry runs left and activates a tripwire. The ceiling crushes him.

MSG: "CRUNCH"

**Right(fail):** Henry goes right and runs into a group of guards. They arrest him.

MSG: "Look first!"

**Straight:** Henry creeps down the hall and sees the opal in a reinforced case. Red lasers point everywhere.

You can use...

**Infinity Gauntlet(fail):** Henry snaps, and the case turns to dust. He levitates the opal to him. The power overload makes him explode.

MSG: "Didn't you watch the movies n00b?"

**Teleporter(fail):** Henry is teleported into the case.

MSG: "HELP! I'M STUCK!"

**Acrobatics:** Henry flips through the lasers and jumps on top of the opal's case.

You can use...

**Laser Plane(fail):** Henry takes out a drone that cuts through the case below him. He falls in, shattering the opal.

MSG: "Wasn't the point to *steal* the opal?"

**Metalbend:** Henry metalbends the top of the case off. He picks up the opal.

Quick time...

**Timeout(fail):** Guards come in and shoot Henry.

### Network Path

**Jeoffery:** Henry calls Jeoffery.

"You got the opal? Ok, I'll get you out of there." Jeoffery crashes through the roof of the base à la Charles. He drops a rope down and pulls Henry up. They fly off to the sky vault.

Jeoffery thanks Henry for his help, and offers to let him join The Network.

You can...

**Accept:** Henry accepts the offer and is given some night vision goggles and put in the thief division, led by Carl Redbeard.

(In this path, Henry is hired to steal the Romanian Ruby FOR the Toppats)

### Solo Path

**Teleporter:** Henry teleports into the snow facedown. he grabs a snowmobile and drives off with the opal.

This unlocks the Traitorous Robber ending. (You get the Ending: TR medal)

## Government Path (Path B)

"Mm hmm. Yeah. The arctic vault." Chad Hansen says over the phone. "Charles's coming." he says to Henry.

A small shape appears in the sky (helicopter). It comes closer and lands. Charles steps out.

"So... Henry right? You say The Network is trying to steal the opal? I've heard of them. Kinda like the Toppat Clan. I'm Charles." He says.

They get in the helicopter and fly up to where the network helicopters are.

"What the-" Carl says.

You can use...

**Charles(fail):** You know the drill. Charles rams his helicopter into the other helicopters, singing *"I'm the action maaan with the greatest plaaaan!"*

MSG: "Charles truly has the best plans."

**Missiles(fail):** Two missiles fly from the helicopter. They hit Ace and Carl's helicopters, blowing them up. Jeoffery shoots the propeller on Charles's helicopter.

MSG: "You only needed one more missile..."

**Canon(fail):** Henry starts playing Infiltrating the Airship.

MSG: "That's caNon, not caNNon. Two different things."

**Launch:** Henry is launched out of the helicopter roof. He lands on Jeoffery's.

"You were supposed to destroy the Government, not join them!" he exclaims. (Star Wars reference)

**Timeout(fail):** Jeoffery leans out and shoots Henry

MSG: You have the reflexes of a fossil."

**Saw(fail):** Henry saws off the propeller. The helicopter falls

MSG: "You idioooooot!"

"He's a good guy, right?" Charles asks.

"I think so." Chad says.

This unlocks the Government Allied Protector ending (ItA can be played after this ending) (You get the Ending: GAP medal "Someone's probably going to sell that on a T-shirt or something.")
