Hmm... This could be a problem.

― Right Hand Man

Government Supported Private Investigator is one of the four endings in Infiltrating the Airship.

After being captured by Captain Hubert Galeforce with the task of taking down the Toppat Clan for his pardon, Henry Stickmin teams up with Charles Calvin to steal sensitive, incriminating Toppat documents for the Government by sneaking through the airship.

Plot

With a communication connection to Charles via Earpiece, Henry lands on the roof of the Airship. Locating a hatch, Charles informs Henry that there is a Toppat member, Hatchman, guarding the hatch from the inside. Henry must find a way to safely enter the airship from there.

  • [X] C4 - Strapping C4 to the hatch, Henry blows it up. The hatch door is launched in Henry's direction, hitting him and forcing him off the ship. (Message: You know when they blow stuff up and say "TAKE COVER!!"? That's why.. )
  • [X] Knock - Knocking on the hatch door, Henry catches the attention of Hatchman, who immediately holds him at gunpoint. (Message: They probably would have let you in if you had Girl Scout cookies with you.)
  • [X] Acid - Henry pours acid on the hatch in an attempt to destroy it, but the wind redirects the acid to his legs, melting them away. (Message: I can't stand acid either.)
  • Vacuum - Henry attaches a vacuum to the hatch. The vacuum sucks up the hatch door and Hatchman, clearing the way for Henry to enter the airship undetected.[1]

Charles suggests fetching incriminating evidence to use against the Toppats to pin them to the charges against them. Stumbling upon a Toppat meeting in progress, Henry must find a way to pass by undetected.

  • [X] Disguise - Donning a top hat, Henry enters the meeting room, where the Toppat clan members immediately notice him. One member, Slice, recognizes him as "Smith," whose wife had recently gone into labor and is expecting a baby. Having to blend in, Henry is forced to take up their offer to use an escape pod and leave the airship for the hospital. (Message: Oh congratulations! Happy Father's Day!)
  • [X] Transdimensionalizer - Using a device reviewed by Gadget Gabe, Henry activates it; however, This sends him to the first dimension, where he is unable to do anything else. (Message: You went to the 1st Dimension. It's ok just flip the switch up to get back to.. Oh right...)
  • Glue - Henry coats his hands in glue and attaches himself to the ceiling. With the Toppats busy with the meeting, Henry avoids detection.

Henry finishes crossing the room, but is then forced to dive into a trash chute when he notices an elevator about to open with Toppat member Douglass Murl inside. Busting through the chute's vent, Henry lands on one end of a pit in the engine room. Charles informs Henry about the sign leading towards the "Records" room on the other side of the pit and offers his assistance for Henry to cross it.

  • [X] Platform - Charles teleports a platform to Henry in order to bridge the gap. Not only did Charles miss the placement of the platform, however, but he also catches Henry inside of it, dragging him into the pit. (Message: Targetting system must be a little off.)
  • [X] Gravity Bubble - Henry is encased in a gravity bubble. From his helicopter, a confused Charles attempts to make the bubble levitate by reducing its gravity with the bubble's Up or Down button. he unknowingly increases the gravity by pressing the wrong button however causing Henry to be crushed by the bubble's pressure. (Message: So wait... Does 'Up' increase gravity or does it lift you up in the air?)
  • [X] Charles - While singing a triumphant fanfare, Charles rams his helicopter into the airship. (Message: Hey look! Charles is here!)

Arriving at the door leading towards the Records room, he finds a Toppat member, Wilhelm Krieghaus, attempting to open the door as well. Charles tells Henry to leave this job to him.

  • [X] Mind Control - Charles hijacks Wilhelm Krieghaus' mind, attempting to use his card to open the door for Henry, however, Charles has difficulty controlling Wilhelm's actions, and the card is accidentally smashed, leaving it unusable. (Message: Controlling another person is harder than it looks, ok??)
  • [X] Gatling Gun - Charles whips out the helicopter's Gatling gun and fires on the airship, attempting to eliminate Krieghaus. While he succeeds in doing so, he also takes down Henry in the process. (Message: Wow he didn't even hit the door..)
  • [X] Remote Access - Attempting to hack into a door, Charles accidentally triggers a trap which launches Henry into a pit. (Message: Woops, wrong subroutine.)[2]
  • Bone Melt - Charles, through unknown means, melts the bones in Wilhelm's body, causing him to collapse. Henry steals the access card and uses it to successfully open the door.

Inside the Records room, Henry finds Handsome Harold, reading some documents detailing the history of their crimes. Determining that documents to be useful for the Government, Henry must find a way to steal them:

  • [X] Timeout - If the time runs out and Henry stalls for too long, Charles witnesses a duck getting caught in the airship propeller. His reaction is radioed to Henry, which causes Harold to notice him. (Message: This isn't a good time Charles.. But still, that sounds crazy!)
  • [X] Ninja Star - Henry attempts to hit Harold with a ninja star, but he hits the document with it instead. (Message: "You missed! How could you miss he was three feet in front of you!")[3]
  • [X] Falcon Kick - Henry charges up the attack, but the energy released burns him to ashes. (Message: I think you put too much energy into it that time.)
  • Spook - Henry uses a stick with a spider attached to it by a string and dangles the spider in front of Harold, expecting a scared reaction; Harold, however, greets it in a friendly manner, leaving Henry with no other choice but to knock him out with the stick.

Henry seizes the evidence and begins to make his way out of the airship. Charles stops him, citing the amount of armed guards in the next room, and advises Henry to enter a nearby vent.

In the vent, he finds an electric defense system. Charles manages to hack into the ship's power grid and asks Henry what he should do with it (with a Mass Effect-like conversation wheel showing up).

  • [X] Shut off the power. - Charles disables the airship's power. without the engines running however, the ship begins a free-fall to the ground. (Message: Let's hope the landing gear still has power.)
  • [X] I don't need your help! - Henry rebukes Charles' assistance and bolts for the vent's exit on the other side. He however, is struck by an electricity current and collapses. (Message: Good hustle.)
  • Make an animal noise - Henry imitates a sheep's call, much to Charles' confusion. This does not cause a fail, nor gets Henry any further. It instead bringing the player back to the choice screen.[4]
  • Reroute the power. - Charles directs power away from the vent, and into a dark room where Al Kohaul is developing photos.

Henry exits the vent and encounters the storage area of the airship, finding two more Toppats, Benjamin Bourseious and Matthew Norbert. Being informed by Charles that he is right outside, Henry opens the bay doors, which alerts the Toppats. To assist Henry, Charles can use:

  • [X] Flashbang - Charles fires a flashbang into the airship to stun hostiles, but Henry runs right into it. Blinded and unable to stop running, Henry flies right off the airship. (Message: Wow, that was bright.)
  • [X] Sleeping Gas - Charles attempts to fire sleeping gas into the airship, but the wind blows it in the opposite direction. Henry then gets shot. (Message: You snooze you lose. Or I guess in this case you... Don't snooze you.. lose?)
  • [X] Banana Bomb - Charles launches the explosive into the airship, intending on taking out the Toppats in the storage. It is powerful enough to damage the airship, however, and bring it down. (Message: Dun dun dun dun OOoohhhhh BANANA! Dun dun dun dun)[5]
  • Force Gun - Charles tells Henry to press a button on his earpiece, which transforms into a force manipulator. Henry blasts Matthew and Benjamin off the airship.

The Right Hand Man, A major antagonist, alerted to the commotion in the storage, finds Henry with the evidence and the force gun. Before he can react properly, Henry propels himself into Charles' helicopter with the force gun and they withdraw. Finding out that the Government was involved, the Right Hand Man expects trouble for the Toppat Clan.

Sometime later, Henry is at home, and he tunes in to the news. A report reveals that Reginald Copperbottom, the Right Hand Man, and hundreds of other Airship division members were incarcerated by the Government in the DDP, while the vehicle was impounded. Many more evade capture, although they are now pinned to criminal charges thanks to the evidence. Henry is pardoned for his efforts in assisting the government and now secretly works for them as a private investigator.

Aftermath

  • Evidence Stolen - The Toppats are now linked to criminal charges, and most members of the Airship Division have been detained.
  • Teamed up with Charles - Henry teams up with Captain Hubert Galeforce and the Government to become a private investigator for them. He works with Charles Calvin, who is now on good terms with him and will play a direct role in all GSPI pathways save for Cleaned 'em Out.
  • Toppat Leaders Arrested - Reginald Copperbottom and the Right Hand Man are absent in all four GSPI pathways, with Sven Svensson now leading the Toppats.
  • Airship Impounded - The Toppat Airship is absent in all four GSPI pathways as it was confiscated by the Government.

Government Supported Private Investigator can be combined with Ghost Inmate to get Cleaned 'em Out, Convict Allies to get Triple Threat, Presumed Dead to get Valiant Hero, and International Rescue Operative to get Special BROvert Ops.

References

Despicable Me

The Knock option's fail message could be a reference to a gag in Despicable Me, in which Vector easily opens up to Margo, Edith, and Agnes selling cookies to him, a weakness Gru later exploits to steal Vector's shrink ray.

Elmer's

In the Remastered version, the Glue appears to be designed after this glue brand.

The Simpsons Movie

Henry climbing the ceiling with glue on his hands could be a reference The Simpsons Movie, where Homer does the same thing to climb the Dome and avoid the EPA.

Sonic the Hedgehog

The Robo Helper is a robotic version of Miles "Tails" Prower from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. Two sounds from said games play in the legacy version, but they were removed in the remastered version for copyright issues.

Mulan

The Ninja Star's fail message is a direct quote from Mushu in that movie after Mulan fires a cannon at Shan Yu but misses, though she was actually aiming for the mountain behind him. There's even an achievement referencing this, which you can get by clicking the letters M-U-L-A-N in the fail message.

Super Smash Bros.

The Falcon Kick is Captain Falcon's side B move. In the legacy version, a voice clip of Captain Falcon plays after the cursor hovers over it, but this was removed in the remastered version to avoid copyright.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive and Geometry Dash

The Flashbang is from this game. The "Fire In The Hole" voice references to the Lobotomy Dash situation in Geometry Dash history

Worms

The Banana Bomb is a reference to the same item in Worms, which is one of PuffballsUnited's favorite games. The Banana Bomb is his favorite weapon from that game.

Donkey Kong 64

The "Oh Banana" sound that plays when clicking on the fail screen during the Banana Bomb option was originally sampled from this game, and the sticker on the banana was the Nintendo 64 logo. Both were changed in the remastered version to avoid copyright.

Continuity

In the legacy version of this rank, the news broadcast at the end says that ALL the Toppats were arrested. This was changed in The Henry Stickmin Collection to reference the events of Completing the Mission.

Trivia

  • In an August 2020 interview, PuffballsUnited revealed that the Gravity Bubble is his favorite fail scenario in the series.
  • Out of all the endings in the series, this ending has the greatest number of letters for its name, with 38.
  • This can be considered as the "stealth path/sneaky ending" for Infiltrating the Airship as it involves Henry making his around the Airship avoiding detection from any Toppats.
  • As shown in the intro for Valiant Hero, Wilhelm Kreighaus somehow survived Charles' "Bone Melt" and managed to escape custody.
  • In The Henry Stickmin Collection, Sir Hatty, Hat Girl, Henry Stickman, Miss DeMeanor, Earrings, The Witch, Wallace Dagwood, Barbershop Bill, Alfonsho Cruz, Hambag, Blueberry, and Mac Dandy are all new characters who appear in Completing the Mission along with the return of Gene Fredrickson (confirmed to be a Toppat) as well as Ahnoldt Schwarz and Sureshot Sherman (from "The Betrayed" path of Fleeing the Complex) who are all part of the Airship Division. They all make appearances in Toppat Civil Warfare and Revenged, which are paths that stem from the events of Rapidly Promoted Executive and feature the Airship with them onboard.
    • While Sherman, Bill, Alfonsho, Miss DeMeanor, Hambag, Blueberry, and Mac are absent from all post-GPSI routes, the others are not (including Gene, Ahnoldt, and Wilhelm).
    • Because of this, it can be inferred that the Airship Division Toppats who appear in post-GSPI routes (Ahnoldt, Gene, Wilhelm, Sit Hatty, Hat Girl, Henry Stickman, Earrings, The Witch and Wallace) are either just passengers of the Airship or weren't on the Airship during the events of GSPI, meaning that they weren't taking into custody along with the rest of the Toppat Clan Airship Division and managed to evade capture.
  • GSPI is referenced again by Charles in International Rescue Operative, Special BROvert Ops, Valiant Hero and Triple Threat which are all paths which stem from GSPI and involve Henry working with Charles once again. Each time Charles gets excited usually stating "It'll be just like last time."
  • This is the only path of Infiltrating of Airship where Dave Panpa does not appear as Henry never visits The Brig where Dave is locked up.
    • Despite his absence, it is more than likely that he was freed after the arrest of the Toppat Clan airship division, as the Airship was impounded by the Government. They would've most likely found Dave locked up in the brig and freed him due to his innocence.
  • The room Al Kohaul is developing photos in can be found in the hallway where Henry chases Reginald Copperbottom, as that is where it is located on the Among Us Airship map.
  • Notable differences in the legacy version:
    • Unlike the remastered where Henry immediately blasts onto his ride, the Right Hand Man has a standoff with Henry attempting to shoot him before the he escapes from the cargo bay.
    • The news report at the end does not specify that many Toppats are still at large since additional divisions were not included before CtM was released.
    • James Hetfield, the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Metallica, is seen singing on one of the TV channels Henry watches after watching the news covering the arrest of the Toppats.
    • Half of Charles' headset is missing in the achievement for GSPI.
    • The abbreviation for GSPI was misspelled as "GAPI".
