Operation: Hibernation

Operation: Hibernation was a major operation of the EPF. It's objective was to locate Herbert, and put him into hibernation, so he won't be able to attack the EPF.

The operation took place in August 24th, 2011, when the Great Snow Race began, but it was planned much earlier, in the Track Herbert level of the System Defender, in order to track Herbert's location.

Description
It is an operation to capture Herbert. When you complete the final System Defender level, you find out that Herbert is hiding out at the Toughest Mountain, the site of the Great Snow Race. At the Toughest Mountain, you have to put him into "hibernation", but first, you must get through a Laser Mazes. Once you have gotten through the Laser Maze, you must use the Expedition Key Pin to unlock the door, taking you to the Classified Area. Throw snowballs at the control panes to dismantle the alarms. Then, using the parts that G teleports into the Classified Area, you must build an air-conditioned box around Herbert and Klutzy. Once you have defeated him, you earn the AC 3000 Pin and 3 Medals. Also, Klutzy escapes.
