Operation: Puffle

Operation: Puffle is a mission in the series of In-Game Missions and party in Club Penguin which is still occurring. This operation started on November 21, 2013 and will end on December 3, 2013. It will expand Club Penguin, and is something that the audience has been asking for a long time. Spike Hike confirmed that this party will involve being lost in the Wilderness.

History
This party was rumored on March 2013, due to a comic in the Club Penguin Magazine. Although this comic wasn't related to the mission, it was hinted at by Spike Hike and Polo Field later in the year. In Club Penguin's zombie video, the Operation: Puffle logo flashed across the screen for a fraction of a second, confirming that the party would come soon.

Storyline
Herbert tracks are found in the wild by Jet Pack Guy on November 1. On November 7, it's reported that there is trouble in the wilderness and agents must see to it. Herbert steals some boiler parts that same day.

Meanwhile, a cave-in has occurred in the underground, blocking access to the Gold Mine. Workers who try to excavate the rubble notice sparkles in the dirt. On November 14, when some of the rocks are cleared, penguins will quest for the Gold Puffle and have the chance to adopt one. A large item could also be found in the Gold Mine which is believed to be a drilling machine but it is not yet known what connection it has with Herbert, the EPF or even Operation: Puffle. More pages of Garianna's potion book was also found in the caves, linking to the Golden O'Berries PH and Gary had discovered.

On November 14, 2013, 4 Puffles including the Keeper of the Boiler Room, Keeper of the Stage, Plok and the Black Puffle at the Mine were stolen. This was putting Herbert's plan into action.

Later, Herbert P. Bear broke into the Indestructible Containment Environment and stole the "Puffle Transmogrifer", a failed Gary invention and modified it to create the Brain Box, which will hypnotize puffles.

As Operation: Puffle has commenced on the Club Penguin island, all of the different coloured puffles (except for the Rainbow and gold puffles they are too much protected and rare for Herbert to steal them).have been captured by Herbert! Everyday, the Elite Penguin Force makes a bit more progress and allows us Elite Penguin Force Agents to save a different colored puffle.

Saving the puffles came in this order:

On November 21, 2013, Herbert stole more puffles and then hypnotized them. The plan so far is the puffles digging treasure and giving it to him. Agents then began Operation: Puffle to find all the missing puffles, and give them back their personalities. To accomplish this, Gary started tracking down the signal between puffles and Herbert. Agents had to get a chip out of every breed's Brain Box. The agents had to save the blue puffles that day and after 5 Puffles saved members and non members got a Head Lamp and a blue chip that the agents gave to Gary

On November 22, 2013, agents carried on into the wilderness to save the red puffles. After saving 5 red puffles agents got the red chip and gave it to Gary. Agents who are members then received the Rescue Off-roader and the Hydro-tester 3000 to carry on their adventure the next day.

On November 23, 2013, agents went to the Lava Cliffs to save the black puffles. After saving five of them, they received the Rope to prepare for the next day.

On November 24, 2013, agents went to the EPF Puffle Vet Station to save the brown puffles. After saving five of them, they received the Puffle Field Medic Outfit and the Stethoscope to prepare for the next day.

On November 25, 2013, agents went to the EPF Bootcamp to save the green puffles. After saving five of them they received the Bullhorn to prepare for the next day.

On November 26, 2013, agents went to the Rapids to save pink puffles. Herbert was also found adjusting a red puffle's Brain-Box, to make sure it was harder to pull the box off. He also revealed his plan and that was: To use most of the coins to put into his upgraded Hot Sauce machine. That machine is capable of destroying Club Penguin Island. And the rest of the coins he had would be used for buying things.

On Novemeber 27, 2013, agents went to the EPF Puffle Vet Station to save the orange puffles. After saving them the received the Thermos so they are ready for the next day.

To Be Continued...

Ending of Storyline
You walk into Herbert's Lair and he traps you in a circle of fire with a hot sauce gun.

Herbert will talk to you and Klutzy.

Klutzy sees the coin stash in his lair and he inserts it into Herbert's Hot Sauce Air Conditioner.



A vent nearby breaks letting you crawl into it. The vent leads you to Herbert's Air Conditioner's pipelines.

You must avoid the steam coming out of the pipelines.

You will walk out into Herbert's other vent and you will need to get to his Puffle-Hypno computer.

You will need to use the chips from the Brain Boxes to shut the Brain Boxes off.

After you put the chips into place, you will need to press the red button.

Then, the Brain Boxes shut off and a door opens.

Herbert will talk to you again and then the Puffles carry Herbert out of his lair.

Similarities to Operation: Blackout

 * Both EPF Operations were rumored months before its official release, and in the case of Operation: Blackout, years ago.
 * They were both hinted at in a Halloween Party video. First Herbert appeared in Ghosts Just Wanna Dance with a paper with the sun crossed out, and nearly a year later Herbert made another appearance in the Halloween Party 2013 trailer holding the puffle handbook.
 * ClubHerbert.com has been used as a source of sneak peeks for both.
 * The entrance to both operations are in the Ski Village.

Revelations

 * The Waterfall of water ninjas and the Volcano both are in a river, surrounded by water on all sides.
 * The river that flows from the waterfall has two outlets into the ocean.
 * The Dojo is actually at an angle facing the Mine Shack, contrary to how it appears on the map.
 * A very large, puffle shaped cavern appears over a section of the river.
 * The mysterious waterfall placed at the Ice Falls has a sheet of ice that hangs over it. It is not the Water Dojo waterfall, because that is at Lava Cliffs.
 * The section of land behind Ski Village is much larger than it appears.

Trivia

 * Herbert was seen in the Halloween Party 2013 trailer, holding a book with a puffle on it (possibly the Puffle Handbook). This could be a hint that he will be the main reason for this new mission.
 * On October 8, 2013, Polo Field hinted in the Wikia Chat that the mission may involve puffles.
 * Spike Hike on Twitter has confirmed that the name of the EPF Mission is Operation: Puffle.
 * The mysterious secret ingredient, the Gold Puffle O, from the Medieval Party 2013, might make an appearance, and the Gold Puffle too. It was mentioned in a What's New Blog post.
 * It seems to be based on the plan mentioned by Herbert at the end of Operation: Spy & Seek, which happened 5 years ago. It is also possible that it connects to PSA Mission 10: Waddle Squad, with Herbert trying to steal the fake Gold Puffle. Herbert could be trying to combine both of those plans for this mission.
 * A new puffle species will arrive at the party, as confirmed by the Whats New Blog.
 * This will be the second time that Club Penguin will introduce more than one Puffle in a year; the first time this happened was the original puffle discovery.
 * Many things were shown that indicate Operation: Puffle throughout the years: Operation: Spy & Seek shows many things that indicate this mission, Waddle Squad also showed how desperately Herbert wanted the Gold Puffle (even risking being trapped), also he found that how easily puffles could be controlled by a catchy beeping sound in Puffle Trouble and the Pied Piper Machine is based on it. So it may be that Operation: Puffle was being planned 5 years ago.
 * The Elite Penguin Force took over #WaddleOn for three episodes for the party.
 * Herbert brainwashed the puffles so they can be his minions and find coins.
 * On the mission map, the bridge from the volcano to the Dojo is seen, but not from the waterfall or snow dojo to the dojo. However, the bottom of the volcano and the waterfall are shown in the mission, finally proving the river does run to right behind Ski Village.
 * The reason why there are no kidnapped golden or rainbow puffles, as mentioned in Club Penguin Times Issue 422 are:
 * Gold Puffles live underground, so it might be difficult to find
 * Rainbow Puffles live in the Cloud Forest, so it's too high to reach.
 * Whenever you go onto the river, a pontoon will appear as if you are riding it.
 * The Rapids area makes your penguin smaller and move faster, similar to the Docking Bay in the Death Star during the Star Wars Takeover.
 * During the party PH will appear on the Portuguese Servers, this was confirmed by a post on the Portuguese blog.
 * you could go to Herberts base 5 days before it was opened (cheats)

Glitches

 * There is a glitch which makes you go under the chat bar. Chat_bar_glitch.png
 * On the window of the Ski Lodge during Operation: Puffle, there are storms which is a bug since the storms appear on Halloween Parties and its not a Halloween Party. There are no storms outside during Operation: Puffle.
 * There is a glitch which makes an undefined notification pop up on your screen every time you move to a different room alerting that you have earned 0 coins.
 * There is a glitch which makes your boat disappear but it reappears in the next room (This glitch happens mostly in the EPF Rescue HQ (Outside)
 * There is a glitch that makes your character go on the River without a boat.
 * There is also a glitch which makes you go on land with a boat.
