(Pasted from another thread.)

Yeah, it's very detailed and definitely ties a lot of strings together. Penelope was awfully OoC in Sly 4, and since she does escape, she will most likely have a large role in the fifth (please let there be one) game, if not the driving force behind the plot. Do you think that while building the time machine, she knew that Sly would be stuck up there without a paraglider? Maybe she had used the time machine herself to travel forward and see how things were going. Her infatuation with Sly from Sly 3 was still there and she couldn't stand to let him die, so she built a failsafe into the machine that only Sly would see (maybe something to do with his thief sense), and that's why he landed in ancient Egypt, where the first known record of Clockwerk attacking a Cooper took place. Coincidence? I think not.
