Operation: Hot Sauce

Operation: Hot Sauce is the first in a series of in-game missions involving the Elite Penguin Force and their criminal adversaries. It began on April 5, 2013 and will continue on until April 16, 2013. Information was released regarding the mission in the form of a sketch, but no release date was given until Issue #388 of the Club Penguin Times where the Cove was shown with stains of pizza sauce. The name was discovered on April 3rd, 2013.

The Pizza Parlor was attacked, and Herbert P. Bear stole the giant hot sauce bottle and used it for his own evil purposes. It is unknown what he would do with it but that he used the Solar Laser from Operation: Blackout. At the Cove the pizza party was held, but then later canceled due to the lack of pizza. Herbert P. Bear will be responsible for the crime, as confirmed by Polo Field. A piece of white fur and some paw prints were found at the Pizza Parlor as evidence to finishing the Operation: Hot Sauce.

Trivia

 * This is the first case to utilize the upgraded Elite Spy Phone. It is also the first major mission after the EPF reconstruction and Operation: Blackout. The 'Fun at the Cove' event was a cover-up for this attack.
 * Very little information was revealed beforehand, hinting towards the EPF returning to more secrecy rather than the publicity of recent events.
 * It is similar to the PSA Missions in storyline, but has to be played in-game, like Operation: Blackout.
 * Herbert P. Bear, Jet Pack Guy and Rookie are meetable in this mission by anyone who completes it; Their sprites appear in the rooms.
 * Jet Pack Guy replaces Aunt Arctic in the Club Penguin Times.
 * He replaces Aunt Arctic because she is The Director of The EPF, and she needs to give orders and to make plans.
 * With the release of Operation: Hot Sauce, Elite Gear prices has increased and it has become easier to earn medals.
 * After completing the mission, you are able to replay it and you can win decreasingly less medals.
 * Using the TraceTracker 3000 or the TraceTracker 100, it can be seen that Herbert and Klutzy were making snow angels at the Dock.
 * The sneak peek for this has a typing sound, and that could have been Herbert.
