Chief, Carmen and others in “Unfinished Business”

Gumshoes, Carmen Sandiego's barbaric batch of baboons have struck again. This time, it was a case of Mexican mayhem in the Gulf of California. Eons ago, the peninsula of Baja California broke loose from what is now Mexico and drifted northwest, leaving a few islands in its wake. One of them is a beachcomber's paradise named Carmen. The island is home to beaches, wildlife, an abandoned saltworks, and only one man. He looks after the deserted town of Salinas. But today, the population doubled when Vic the Slick slithered ashore. His boss's birthday is coming up and he figured an island named Carmen would be the perfect gift. Stealing it was the easy part. Wrapping it will be tough. Your mission, gumshoes: show Vic he's not so slick, return the island of Carmen to Mexico, and then capture Carmen Sandiego.

They're on to you, Vic. Hide Carmen Island on Devil's Island in South America.

You mean the famous prison?

It's not a prison anymore. Now tourists go there believe it or not, and it's in the same place that the launch site used by the European space program.

I didn't know Europe was puttin' people in orbit.

Not people. Satellites. The space program is run as a business. They launch satellites for companies and other nations.

A space business, huh? Geez, those frequent flier miles must really add up.

Okay, gumshoes. Look for Vic in Asir National Park. There's hiking, cool temperatures, and mountain scenery, and it's a Mideast nation with one of the world's largest deserts. The desert's about the size of France, but so hot and so dry that almost no one goes there. No wonder Vic headed for the hills, but you gotta keep the heat on.
