*** Like it was said above, they've been keeping tabs on him since his bank heist, so they've at least been interested since then. A test would also help showcase his abilities. If it didn't work, he'd be promptly sent back to his cell or killed; otherwise, he would've proven his worth.

** He does seem surprised when it opens, so it’s likely that he didn’t know about it beforehand. More likely, it was sent by the Army guys as a test for Henry. Hence how they find him no matter which ending he gets in ''Prison'' — they were keeping tabs on him the whole time.

*** Note that when Henry receives his pardon, it says "All crimes ''PRIOR TO'' 2013." This means that the Airship incident and crimes later to be had still count to his record.

** What his exact goal was in ''Airship'' is likely governed by SchrodingersGun; Early on in the ''Government Supported Private Investigator'' route, Charles outright says that the point of the mission is to find evidence against them. For the ''Relentless Bounty Hunter'' scenario, him capturing the Toppat leader [[FridgeBrilliance could have been among the crimes that he was subsequently pardoned for]]--''he'' did that, not the Army, so you could argue the latter is technically not guilty. As for the ''Pure Blooded Thief'' ending, I imagine that big ruby held a similar importance to the diamond in the previous game, so the fact that the Toppat clan had it in their possession was probably sufficient proof. Granted, they didn't know this until they saw Henry with it, but considering the events of ''Bank'' and ''Diamond'', it wouldn't have been too much of a stretch for them to assume that, if Henry aborted their stated mission, it was probably for something valuable(especially since they noticed where in the ship--the vault--Henry had set off the alarm). It was a risk that they took, but not an unreasonable one.

** Remember, Henry was sent to take the Toppat Clan down by the military team that captured him in the first place, not the government. Sure, his past crimes may have been erased from official registry, but as we can see in the teaser, there's still evidence of them. Besides, [[spoiler: whatever it is he did in ''Airship'' was illegal; joining the Toppat Clan, stealing the ruby in the airship's vault, or just invading the ship and killing/taking away the people inside (since Henry's kidnappers state not having sufficient evidence against the Toppats, this would still qualify as a crime)]].

* So, in ''Airship'', the whole reason the Army sends Henry after the Toppat clan is because they don't have any proof yet that the Toppats are criminals, and thus can't arrest them. However, in the ''Relentless Bounty Hunter'' scenario Henry breaks into the ship and arrests the Toppat leader for the military. How can they do that without proof? Also, in the ''Pure Blooded Thief'' scenario, when Henry goes rogue and steals the ruby the Military moves in to personally deal with the Toppats anyway, which again contradicts what they stated earlier.
