“	"We got what we came for, he's not worth the trouble."	„
	― General Hubert Galeforce

Pure Blooded Thief is one of the four endings of Infiltrating the Airship.

After being captured by Captain Hubert Galeforce with the task of taking down the Toppat Clan for his pardon, Henry sneaks onboard the Toppat Airship and scatters the place for incriminating evidence though his greed soon catches up with him and he soon finds himself trying to steal the gigantic Romanian Ruby from the Airship's vault leading to an array of chaos.

Plot

Using the Grapple Gun, Henry boards the exterior of the Airship. Locating a door locked to authorized access, Henry has to figure out how to enter the ship:

• [X] Joy Buzzer - Henry attaches a joy buzzer to his palm and uses it on the door's keypad. Instead of opening the door, the entire airship loses power, sending it into a freefall to the ground. (Message: Remind me to never shake your hand.)
• [X] Expanding Foam - Henry shakes the canister of foam and attempts to use it, with no results. He shakes the canister again, causing the foam to explode. (Message: I think it said do NOT shake well.)
• [X] Bomb - Henry prepares a massive bomb to breach into the airship - after setting it, however, he realizes there is no place to run. The bomb then explodes, killing Henry. (Message: Should've used the remote bombs.)
• Wait - Standing outside the door for an extended period, Henry waits until a Toppat member, Cuppa Joe, opens the door and comes out, allowing Henry to sneak in, leaving Cuppa Joe outside the airship.

Now inside of the airship, Henry can choose where to go from here.

• [X] Elevator - Henry boards the elevator, but it turns out to be an escape pod, which sends him away from the airship. (Message: Could've sworn that was an elevator.)
• [X] Computer - Henry locates the Toppats' secret files on the computer and finds "incriminating evidence" inside but decides to open "Civ V" instead. Hours pass, and Henry is shown to have made progress in the game. Eventually, Joe catches Henry on the Toppat computer. (Message: ...Just one more turn?)
• Vent - Henry enters a vent, allowing him to move deeper into the airship.

During his ride inside the vent, he notices the giant Romanian Ruby in the vault. When the vent curves upward, he crashes through it and lands on one side of a pit in the Engine room. Although he is on the side that leads to Records, Henry has his mind now set on the Ruby, and the path to the vault is on the other side of the pit. Henry now must find a way across.

• [X] Teleporter - Henry gives a displeased look towards the player before he attempts to use the teleporter. After activating it, Henry ends up teleported to the valley of nowhere. The teleporter itself is then deactivated and made unusable as a result. (Message: Well I'd better get going. Have fun here by yourself!)
• [X] Stretch Chewies - Consuming the chewies allows Henry to extend his arms to any length. Attempting to grab the ledge with his extended arm, Henry misses and catches it onto a gear instead, which drags him into the pit. (Message: That really grinds my gears. ROFL)
• [X] Magic Pencil - Henry uses a pencil to sketch out a glider. However, it instead comes to life and strikes Henry in the nuts. (Message: Why did you draw a Nutshot Crawler?)
• Leap - Henry jumps towards the other side of the pit in a leap of faith but is suddenly launched rapidly there. Over the PA, the pilot of the airship and leader of the Toppat Clan, Reginald Copperbottom, informs the Toppats that a flock of ducks flew by, prompting evasive maneuvers. This is what helped Henry get across.

Henry leaves that room and enters the airship brig. He finds the door to the vault shut behind another authorization panel.

• [X] Wizard Magic - Henry attempts to employ magic to breach the door but ends up freezing himself to ice in the process. (Message: ...Rolled a 1...)
• [X] Hack - Tearing apart the hand scanner next to the door, Henry attempts to open the door by sabotaging the security device; however, he is electrocuted and launched back. (Message: Watt are you doing? That's quite shocking! I'm glad I'm not in your current situation. I bet you can't wait to go Ohm.)
• [X] Retroglove - Donning the Retroglove, Henry attempts to use it to open the door but nothing happens. (Message: You look like an idiot...)
• Paperizor - Henry uses the mechanism to turn himself into a flat sheet of paper. The paper is thin enough for him to slide under the door, allowing him to access the vault.

Reverting back to normal, Henry finds the Romanian Ruby, but it is too big for him to haul off the ship.

• [X] Clawpack - An autonomous robotic claw emerges from a blue backpack Henry is wearing. The claw attempts to pick up the ruby, but is shocked by the gem and proceeds to attack Henry. (Message: Take care of your bird! Err.... Claw.)
• [X] Gravity Manipulator - Henry attempts to pick the ruby up with the weapon, but accidentally launches it off the ship. (Message: I think you pulled the wrong trigger. That one launches.)
• Shrink n' Grow - Henry attaches a device which shrinks the ruby to a size Henry can easily handle.

Moving to leave the airship, he accidentally triggers an alarm within the airship, alerting Geoffrey Plumb. In the helicopter, Charles detects the alarms as well. Realizing that Henry has gone rogue, Captain Galeforce has Government reinforcements called to combat the Toppat Airship.

While Geoffrey calls in the Toppat Clan on Henry, a Government helicopter strikes the airship, the knockback sending Henry onto the middle of a rotating propeller on the airship. Henry now must find a way to escape:

• [X] Shell - Henry stuffs his head in a green shell. A bullet hits the shell, causing Henry to be knocked back and get shredded by the propeller. (Message: ..What exactly was your plan there?)
• [X] Propane Tank - Henry attempts to use a propane tank to fly away, but it explodes shortly after takeoff while a Toppat, Jarsh Finx, watches in disbelief. (Message: Hank Hill Quote ...Tell ya h-what.)
• [X] Umbrella - Using an umbrella, Henry is able to cover some distance but ends up dropping and getting chopped by the propeller. (Message: Maybe a spoonful of sugar will make you feel better.)
• Armor - Suiting up, Henry dives into the propeller, destroying it and bringing the airship down. Falling to the ground, Henry is able to survive both the propeller and the impact of the ground.

The Toppat Airship crashes. An all-out battle begins between the Toppat Clan and the Government, with Henry and the ruby caught in the crossfire. In a nearby Center for Chaos Containment base, Wilson Stone stays behind to deal with the chaos while other CCC operatives begin to evacuate.

Running through his desk for options, Wilson encounters four disks for four CCC plans.

• [X] L. Cut mk. II - Two lasers cut away the area of the Earth where the battle is taking place. The piece of land is then launched into space. Henry, having been on it, suffocates to death in space. (Message: We'll take our problems and PUSH them somewhere else!)
• [X] D.E.B. - A ball of dark energy is launched to the battlefield, causing an explosion which begins to vaporize everyone who gets caught up in the blast, including Henry. Seeing the blast approach his position, Wilson looks at a photo of his wife and son one last time and tearfully bids them farewell before perishing. (No message)
• [X] G.A.B.E.N. - While loading the disc, it begins to error out, before a data recovery saves it. While the "G.A.B.E.N." weapon is in the process of revealing itself, Infiltrating the Airship stops responding. (Message: error: stack overflow System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file C:\Program Files\HL3\GABEN.dll Dump cache;)
• Prototype - An army of mechanized CCC employees, Mert Steel, Kert Steel and Mortdecai Booker, arrive at the battlefield and starts attacking Toppats and Government forces indiscriminately.

The Right Hand Man notices Henry with the stolen ruby, but Reginald urges him to leave it behind and retreat for the sake of the Toppat Clan's longevity. When Mert Steel leaves the Prototype armor to urinate, Henry steals it and uses it to fly away from the scene with the ruby.

In the air, Henry stumbles upon Charles and Captain Galeforce once again. Galeforce determines that Henry should be let go, declaring him to be "not worth the trouble" after succeeding in their mission of taking down the Toppat Airship. Now being allied to neither the Toppats nor the Government, Henry flies away with the Romanian Ruby.

Aftermath

• Ruby Stolen from Toppats - The Romanian Ruby will play a role in all three PBT pathways. The Toppat leaders often mention the Ruby while interacting with Henry.
• Airship Destroyed - The Toppat Airship is absent in all three PBT pathways as it was destroyed in the Government raid.
• Government Annoyed - Galeforce is annoyed by Henry going rogue and Henry is not pardoned. He does not gain Charles Calvin as an ally, and government soldiers are shown being hostile towards him in Pardoned Pals/Toppat Recruits. However, at the end of Pardoned Pals, Galeforce forgives Henry and Charles and Henry possibly work together.
• Toppat Leaders Fled - Reginald Copperbottom and the Right Hand Man fled and continue to lead the clan. As such, the Right Hand Man is still human in the three PBT pathways.

Pure Blooded Thief can be combined with Ghost Inmate to get Jewel Baron, Convict Allies to get Pardoned Pals and Toppat Recruits, and Presumed Dead to get Stickmin Space Resort.

As Henry did not ally with either faction in this path, it cannot be combined with The Betrayed or International Rescue Operative for an ending.

References

Bomberman

The Bomb used by Henry in this game is a reference to Bomberman. In Bomberman, bombs serve as obstacles, meaning you are just as likely to explode as the enemies are. You can easily corner yourself like Henry does. The fail references Remote Control Bombs, which can be blown whenever you want, but they wouldn't have worked either, since Henry would still stick himself in a corner with nothing else to do.

The Computer has several files on it which reference different things:

Civ 5

The real game with the same name. In the legacy version, a theme song from said game plays, but it was replaced by a similar sounding song composed by Puffballs to avoid copyright.

Dropbox

"Plopbox" is a reference to Dropbox, a file preservation program.

Piracy. It's a Crime.

"Downloaded Cars" is a reference to this early 2000s anti-piracy public service announcement. It depicted a man stealing various things, and compared that to downloading pirated movies. The line "You wouldn't steal a car" was featured, sparking several memes about "You wouldn't download a car".

One Piece

The Stretch Chewies reference Luffy. When he accidentally ate the Gum Gum Devil Fruit, his body gained the properties of rubber, allowing him to stretch and bend his limbs freely.

Family Guy

The Stretch Chewies fail message is a reference to Peter Griffin's famous line "You know what really grinds my gears?"

SpongeBob

The Magic Pencil is a reference to the episode Frankendoodle, where SpongeBob finds a magic pencil and draws a 2D version of himself named Doodlebob, who gains sentience and threatens to kill his maker.

The fail message for the Laser Cut is a reference to a famous quote by Patrick Star: 'We should take Bikini Bottom, and PUSH it somewhere else!"

Dungeons and Dragons

The Wizard Magic fail message is a thing that can happen in this game.

Power Glove

The Retroglove is a reference to this failed Nintendo + Matell product. It was originally called Power Glove in the legacy version, but was changed to avoid copyright,

Banjo-Kazooie

The Clawpack, as well as how it looks and behaves, are a reference to Kazooie, who would come out of Banjo's backpack in the game and make similar sounds.

Half-Life

The Gravity Manipulator is a reference to the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2. It was called that and looked the same in the legacy version, but was changed to avoid copyright.

The G.A.B.E.N is a reference to Gabe Newell, owner of Valve, creators of the Half-Life franchise. Half-Life 3 has infamously been delayed, cancelled, and restarted multiple times since 2007 due to problems with the Source 2 engine. Not until 2020 would Half-Life Alyx, the prequel to Half-Life 2, be released.

Super Mario Bros.

The Shell is a Koopa shell.

King of the Hill

The Propane Tank and its fail message both reference this show, with Hank Hill working for a propane company in the show.

Mary Poppins

The Umbrella is similar to the one Mary Poppins uses, and the fail message is a reference to the song "A Spoonful of Sugar".

Fallout

The Armor is a reference to the T-45 Power Armor from Fallout. It was even called Power Armor in the legacy version, but was changed to avoid copyright.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

PuffballsUnited confirmed in The Henry Stickmin Collection Developer Commentary Part 1 that this scene was made and inspired by Age of Ultron before it came out.

Super Smash Bros.

According to PuffbalsUnited, the Dark Energy Bomb fail was inspired by "that one scene from Super Smash Bros. Brawl".

Trivia

• This is the only route in Infiltrating the Airship that has no quick-time events. (Not including Lightning Quick Larcenist, as it's a fake ending).
• The only time the Government helps Henry in this ending is with the Grapple Gun and initially sneaking around the Airship to find incriminating evidence on the Toppats.
• All endings stemming from this ending in Completing the Mission have no extra achievements apart from the Ending Achievements.
• This is the only ending that causes Henry to only go solo on his missions in Completing the Mission, as he brought down the Toppat Clan and annoyed the Government. He can later choose to side with one faction during the "Pure Blooded Thief"+"Convict Allies" path which leads to either "Toppat Recruits" or "Pardoned Pals".
• The alarm when camera detects Henry in original game is from Half-Life 2. Another alarm from Half-Life 2 is used in Stealing The Diamond when the CCC calls the robot in during the Just Plain Epic ending.
