Search Canal City for thief

Search Canal City for thief, Investigate wharf area, and Purchase Transmission are missions in Going Commando taking place in Canal City, Notak. Ratchet and Clank arrived on Notak after intercepting and tracing back a transmission from the Unknown Thief to the Thug Leader. They saw the Thief leave as soon as they arrived, and searched the Canal City for any signs. This led them to a large Megacorp factory, with robots who had some information on the Thief's whereabouts, and were willing to share it in exchange for a small fee.

This is one of two missions that can be completed upon arriving on Canal City, along with the mandatory "Explore the Promenade".

Walkthrough
It is a good idea to complete "Explore the Promenade" first to earn bolts, and also because the nanotech boost earned from that mission is a good bonus. The Synthenoid becomes available at the Megacorp vendor upon arriving to this world, which creates a group of robots guardians that will shoot at nearby enemies when deployed. Though useful, it is not necessary against the enemies here, and is not affordable unless you have completed every single side challenge (space combat missions, hoverbike racing, and Galactic Gladiators arena battles) up until now.

This mission is commenced by taking the bridge seen after taking the elevator shaft down from where your ship lands.
