Winston Zeddemore "That sounds like an excellent recommendation."

Ray Stantz "Looks like that power cable is causing all the trouble."

Winston Zeddemore "Get it out of the water, then!"

Ray Stantz "I know this much: we're trapped down

here like rats until that cable's out of the water."

Winston Zeddemore "How about some slime tethering?!

Tether it up!"

Egon Spengler "Pull it out of there!"

Ray Stantz "Slime Tether!"

Egon Spengler "Slime Tether!"

Ray Stantz "Come on, kid."

Egon Spengler "The elevators should be working.

Unless something...nevermind. Let's get back to the lobby."

Ray Stantz "Listen! What's that smell?"

Winston Zeddemore "Over there! C'mon!"

Cook Ghosts and the Chef Ghost manifest in the kitchen.

Ray Stantz "Look out! It's the late shift!"

Winston Zeddemore "Yeah, but this is just

the help! Where's the boss?

I can't believe I just said that out loud!"

Ray Stantz "I know that guy! It's the

mass poisoner, Chef DeForrest!

So nobody eat anything in here!

Even if you're really hungry!"

Winston Zeddemore "I'm about to swallow my own tongue, Ray.

Will that be okay?"

Firefight ensues.

Winston Zeddemore "All right. This kitchen is clean.

Let's get back to the elevators."

John O'Keefe "Thank god you're here!"

Egon Spengler "Okay, it looks like the psycho-mass has

come to rest about 190 feet above our heads."

Ray Stantz "The 13th floor."

John O'Keefe "This hotel has no 13th floor!

None of the grand old hotels do!"

Winston Zeddemore "Man's got a strong argument."

Ray Stantz "We'll split the difference. Egon, you and the

Tenderfoot go to the 12th floor. Winston and I will check

out the 14th, (to manager) Sir, if you'll please come with us."

Egon Spengler "Fine. But stay in contact.

This place is extraordinarily dangerous."

Winston hits the elevator button.

Egon Spengler "Well, let's see what's on the twelfth floor."

Winston Zeddemore on radio "Egon, what were you

saying earlier about the mandala node?"

Egon Spengler "You mean why do we keep seeing new ghosts?"

Winston Zeddemore on radio "Yeah."

Egon Spengler "Okay. Think of the mandala as a city bus line.

At the bus station, ghosts, or waiting passengers, are drawn

into the system here and trapped. This concentrates their PK

energy which is then eventually forced through the next node,

or 'station,' and so on, until it all ends at a final terminus.

At each successive bus station, the station manager absorbs some

of the energy. This makes the station manager, or Node Guardian,

stronger, so that it can keep the ghosts in line and destroy anyone

who comes to the station to interfere with the flow. These nodes or

bus stations gather the power used to feed a central point thus creating

a much bigger threat to our world. Does that make more sense now?"

Winston Zeddemore on radio "TTTC. Totally Trapped Transit Company."

Ray Stantz in radio "Yeah, you were going strong

right up until the passengers got trapped inside the bus station."

Winston Zeddemore on radio "When is my performance

review again? I deserve more stock options."

Suddenly the lights go and the Spider

Witch and victim echoes are present.

Male victim "I say, young lady, you are full of surprises!"

After you, my dear!"

They exit through the door. Lights turn back on.

Egon Spengler "Well. That was terrifying.

Be extremely careful. This is likely to be

a point of dangerous concentration.

Odd. It's coming from everywhere and nowhere.

Impossible to get a significant fix.

Ray, come in. Are you there?"

Ray Stantz on radio "Egon. What happened?

We lost you for a minute there."

Egon Spengler "We had a close contact."

Ray Stantz on radio "I've got some more information

on the Spider Witch ghost. Manager says authorities

never found her but..."

John O'Keefe on radio "The bodies were hung from

the ceiling! They were drained of blood and dragged around!"

Ray Stantz on radio "He says the victims

were found in a pretty bad state."

John O'Keefe on radio "The walls were pained in blood!

Furniture was half chewed and crushed and piled in a

corner like a giant nest!"

Ray Stantz on radio "She seems to have

vandalized the room badly too."

Egon Spengler "Hm. I don't want to be hung

from a ceiling and drained of blood."

Winston Zeddemore on radio "I'll tell you this: I do NOT

want to be found in a bad state...OR vandalized."

Ray Stantz on radio "I think that sentiment is unanimous."

Rookie and Egon stop at double doors. The P.K.E. Meter is buzzing.

Egon Spengler "Are you ready?"

A glimpse of something is seen briefly when they open the door.

Egon Spengler "Ray! Come in!"

Ray Stantz on radio "Yeah, what's up?"

Egon Spengler "What was the Spider Witch's room number?"

John O'Keefe on radio "1221. After her spree, it was

locked up. Until about five years ago when we remodeled."

Ray Stantz "Hear that? Room 1221. I think that...Hey!"

A voice is heard.

Voice of Spider Witch "Oh, greet our visitors."

Spider Crawlers attack Rookie and Egon.

Egon Spengler "We're not alone in here."

Voice of Spider Witch "The Chairman sends the little

spirits to me. They love me. They make me strong."

Egon Spengler "This floor is undergoing significant metamorphosis.

Ghostworld is aggressively encroaching on ours.

It's not even utilizing a portal. This is very bad."

Voice of a male victim "My ankles? Goodness, we

hardly know each other! No, I...

Who...what are you?! No..! Help!

No! Please...AAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Egon is silent.

Egon Spengler "It's the Ghostworld crossing through!

Happening sooner than we expected!

It looks like this is where the node is focused!

We could use some help! - (into radio) - Ray, are

you there?! Come in Ray!"

Nothing.

Egon Spengler "Looks like it's up to us...let's

find 1221 and finish this."

Voice of Spider Witch "Come play with my friends."

Spider Crawlers attack."

Egon Spengler "Come on!"

Voice of Spider Witch "Oh, you've come to play

games? Oh, I know lots of games."

Egon Spengler "1220... 1222. No 1221.

Where is it? 1221 has to be here.

Remember, just because we can't see it

doesn't mean it isn't here."

Rookie uses P.K.E. Meter to find the hidden door and slimes it open.

Egon Spengler "Good thinking! It was here all along.

Well, this looks inviting.

I don't like the look of this, but we've run out of options."
