"Okay, exactly what are we doing again?" Rae questioned as her and Sly head out for their mission.
"I told you, we're blowing up the last engine while Bentley and Murray handle the third one."
"And how exactly do you propose we do that, genius?"
"With explosives, of course."
"Explosives? Does this blimp even have those?"
"Remember, Arpeggio designed this blimp, so having explosives on here isn't exactly out of the question."
"Yeah, but still... It seems a little far-fetched, don't ya think?"
"My point still stands -- Arpeggio made this convoluted contraption, so I'm sure he's stored some explosives somewhere on this crazy thing."
"Fine, but I'll believe it when I see it."
Beep! Beep!
"Hmm?" Both hummed when their binocucoms went off.
"Speak of the devil." Sly said as the two found Bentley trying to contact them. "Whatcha got for us, pal?"
"That last engine room is locked down tight, and since we can't get inside, I figure we'll just have to destroy it from the outside instead."
"Well I hope you're carrying some heavy explosives, because that engine isn't exactly small." Rae pointed out.
"Funny you should mention that, because it just so happens that there's a ready supply of explosives already available on the blimp. Get one of those TNT barrels up to that engine room and blow it sky high!"
"Okay, sounds easy enough, but come on, there's gotta be a catch." Sly said.
"Well, you're right, because the initial payload in that barrel won't be enough to do the job. You'll have to go find four magnetic charges scattered around the blimp to achieve the necessary blast force in order to destroy that engine. I'm not sure of their exact locations on the spot, but I did put waypoints in your binocucoms to help find them a little easier. Remember, there are four charges and one barrel, so you two will have to work together on this one."
"Alright, let's blow stuff up!" Sly said excitedly, Rae rolling her eyes.
"You're such a child..." Rae sighed, but Bentley disconnected before they could continue.
"What? I can't have a little fun with this?"
"Explosives are dangerous. I mean, I should know since I almost got blown up by them."
"Yeah, but this is different. We're not freefalling at 500 feet."
"Maybe, but there are guards everywhere."
"Alright, how about this then: Once we get the charges, I'll climb in the barrel and walk it up to the blimp and if any guards decide to get in the way, you take them out. Sound fair?"
Rae pondered his suggestion for a moment before she gave a reply. "Fair enough. At least this way, I can make sure you don't get blown to smithereens whenever you decide to get clumsy."
"Aww, don't be mad because you love me." He teased, the fox rolling her eyes again.
"You're right, I do love you, but not the point I'm trying to make." She retorted. "Just don't get blown up and we won't have a problem."
