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.

Criminal Path (Path A)
There are three hallways...

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.

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.
