Enter the snowy bird hide and watch the short cut scene (be sure to take note of the 3 emotes the penguin performs, since they will be needed later on).

Speak to Larry again on the Rellekka docks. He will come up with a crazy scheme involving a clockwork penguin and shrinking you to control it. He will give you a Clockwork book and ask you to build it using a level 3+ crafting table inside someone's house, a Plank, a Steel bar, and a piece of Silk.

Meet up with Larry at the Ardougne Zoo (recommended), or at the docks northeast of Rellekka. Tell him that you have the Clockwork suit and you will be taken back to the Iceberg. Once there, speak to Larry again. He will tell you that the penguins destroyed the bird hide and have vanished, so you will have to test the suit on the penguins in the zoo. Larry will teleport you to the Ardougne Zoo.
-
Back at the zoo, speak to Larry and have him shrink you so you can fit into the Clockwork penguin. Once shrunk, enter the penguin enclosure and talk to one of the Penguins. Perform the 3 emotes that you saw earlier to gain the Penguin's trust These 3 emotes will now be your secret greeting to all penguins. The penguin will give you their Mission report and ask you to go to the penguin operatives, disguised as a sheep, in the Lumbridge sheep pen. Talk to Larry and he will tell you to meet him at the sheep pen just north of Lumbridge Castle.
Note: Make sure you have no weapon, shield, or cape equipped, or Larry will not be able to shrink you. The 3 emotes are random for everyone, but are tracked in your quest journal and if you mess up you can try again.
