Why'd they shut down? You guys didn't bang the

place up that bad last time you were here."

Ray Stantz "If this place is a mandala node, a few

burnt walls and broken ceilings are the last thing anybody's..."

Egon Spengler "And smashed furniture, broken chandeliers,

destroyed paintings, shattered vases, probably some minor structural damage..."

Ray Stantz "Thanks, Egon. My point being that there's

more to worry about here than some minor cosmetic issues."

Egon Spengler "Definitely a mandala node."

Ray Stantz "If we don't shut down Shandor's Mandala soon, most

of Manhattan will become as vacant as this. Not to mention also

becoming a bastion of absolute, mind numbing horror for centuries to come."

Winston Zeddemore "Hey! I definitely don't lay out two grand a

month for a 600 square foot walk-up to live in a bastion! Let's get to work."

12. Level 6 Return to the Sedgewick Dialogue

============================================

Winston Zeddemore "It's an ambush! Get 'em hot!"

Ray Stantz "Wait a minute...wait! I don't think they're

a threat. They may only be residual hauntings."

Egon Spengler "I think Ray's right. They haven't crossed

entirely into this dimension. They're just psychokinetic

echoes. Ghosts of ghosts. Completely harmless."

Winston Zeddemore "Great. I was hoping to meet a friendly

ghost some day, but I'll settle for 'harmless' right now."

Egon Spengler "I'm getting a strong valence spike

higher up in the building."

Ray Stantz "Ilyssa said she was called to the

12th floor. Let's start there.

Come on, kid.

They'd have shut down the power when they closed."

Winston Zeddemore "Can we take the stairs."

Egon Spengler "Well, we can try climbing but the

last time we were here, a level three animator took

out the bottom of the staircase."

Ray Stantz "Yeah, that's right. I forgot you weren't

here last time, Winston. So no stairs, no elevators...

Did you hear something?"

Winston Zeddemore "Over there! C'mon!"

Ray Stantz "I think we're dealing with a

Level Five Anchored Ambusher! Be careful."

Winston Zeddemore "It went into the stairwell!

We've got it cornered!"

John O'Keefe "Help!"

Ray Stantz "This is just how a Level Five

Anchored Ambusher lures you in!"

They go in. It's John O'Keefe, the manager.

Ray Stantz "The Manager! What are you doing here?"

John O'Keefe "Ghosts! Monsters! Everywhere!"

Winston Zeddemore "There was another voice - a

woman screamed. Are you alone in here?"

John O'Keefe "Look, I just said 'ghosts and monsters

everywhere.' Does that sound like I'm alone?"

Ray Stantz "He meant people."

John O'Keefe "Then yes...I think so.

Aaaaah!"

Ray Stantz "Well, I guess that explains it."

Egon Spengler "Sir, there's no need to fear. These

are just shadows; echoes of actual ghosts. They can't hurt you."

Winston Zeddemore "Come with us sir, we can lead you to safety."

They see an echo, a woman with a web tattoo on back, holding

a knife, and a man 'enter' elevator.

John O'Keefe "My God!"

Winston Zeddemore "Someone you know?"

John O'Keefe "I don't know. Most of the old staff knows

the story of the Spider Witch, a professional widow who

did unimaginable things in a room on the 12th floor back

in the 1920's."

Egon Spengler "What are you still doing here?

Why didn't you evacuate with everyone else?"

John O'Keefe "I came back last night to retrieve some payroll

records, but the hotel won't let me out! The doors shut on me!

And the phones are down too."

Winston Zeddemore "That means we're trapped now too.

And we have to hope that Peter figures out we're missing?

There goes the weekend."

Egon Spengler "Not necessarily. The 12th floor is apparently

the core of this node. If we can get the power back on, we

can take the elevators."

Winston Zeddemore "If the elevators don't eat us."

Egon Spengler "Yes, if the elevators don't eat us."

Ray Stantz "Where are the circuit breakers for this place?

We don't have a lot of time."

John O'Keefe "Uh...breakers. In my office. But the city came

and turned off most of our power after the electrical fire on

the 3rd floor. There's no way to turn it back on from here."

Egon Spengler "That's inconvenient."

Winston Zeddemore "We've gotta find some

way to get the elevators moving."

John O'Keefe "There's a backup generator in the utility

room off the kitchen. It's for emergency blackouts."

Ray Stantz "Perfect. Let's give it a try. To the kitchen!

Watch out!"

John O'Keefe "Aaaaah!"

Egon Spengler "I guess some of them apparently fulminate

to this place. It doesn't seem like they're happy about it."

Winston Zeddemore "Right! Now, let's find that backup generator."

Ray Stantz "The kitchen. Is it through here?"

John O'Keefe "Yes, just down the hall.

Aaaaah!"

O'Keefe passes out.

Team enters the kitchen and hears cackling.

Egon Spengler "Hello? Anyone there?"

Ray Stantz "Alright guys, spread out. The utility

room should be around here somewhere."

Winston Zeddemore "In some dark, scary corner."

Egon Spengler "I know I've said this before, but be

careful. I don't think we're alone."

Winston Zeddemore "This place is wrecked. Did you

and Venkman do all this when you were chasing Slimer?"

Ray Stantz "No, this is a lot worse that the way they

could have left it. This is the work of something big."

Winston Zeddemore "When you say 'big' do you mean 'big-big?'"

Ray Stantz "Mm-hm. At the very least. Maybe even bigger."

Winston Zeddemore "That sounds pretty big.

The manager said there was a generator

room around here somewhere, look for a door.

It has to be around here somewhere.

Keep an eye out for a sign."

Ray Stantz "Look! Cadet found the emergency generator!"

Winston Zeddemore "Look around for a

switch or something to start it up."

Ray Stantz "What's it look like?"

Egon Spengler "Probably like a switch. Or

something that would start up a generator."

Ray Stantz "All right, Egon. But you should know I'm keeping score."

Egon Spengler "What did I say?"

Ray Stantz "There's a lot of water on the floor.

Watch out for static discharge when you activate the generator.

Ah! Sweet music!"

Egon Spengler "I'd recommend not stepping in that water."
