Spelunking with Sam... Wise?

[GreyWolfVT]

Roy in a daze apparently sorry forgot i was tagging along on this one. is glad he grabbed a trap and a blaster. "I hope we have the correct gear to handle this."

[Taaz]

Yeah underground you want as many people to cover you, Jason looks up answering Mac, Plus we could probably use some more light before we go charging in.

[Bluehorse]

Please stand by

[Urson]

Joker
Joker chuckles at Jason's reaction. You could say that. They were my grandfather's favorite brand.

Yes, we should make sure that everyone is here- or at least is very clear on the situation.

[Bluehorse]

A new Blue Ford Flex pulls up to the spot just behind the Ecto. This isn't exactly screeching tires, but certainly in a hurry. You can see it is Lionel riding with that spunky reporter friend of his. She is already on her phone talking excitedly as she turns off the car.

Lionel, coming from here:

Lionel "Freight Train" Williams

Getting out of the car and fixing the Ghostbusters with a withering gaze, Lionel is clearly irritated. Day off, guys! Day. Off. Whose brilliant idea was it to screw up our day? He asks, gesturing to Jamie. We're here, and there's ghosts to bust, so I guess there's no point in whining now, huh? So...what are we looking at? What's the plan, and did anyone grab a pack for me?

[Rex]

Mac

"There is one in the Echto for you, sorry but we have a class 4 in the sewer."

[Scott308]

Lionel "Freight Train" Williams

Class 4, huh? The sewer is not my first choice of location to take on one of these bad boys, but I guess we can't pick where the ghosts want to haunt. I'll get my stuff. Lionel goes to the Echo and gets his gear on. Turning to Jamie, he warns her of the dangers they will soon face. This is a dangerous situation. I'm not going to tell you to stay away. You're a reporter. You're going to go where the story is- I know that. I just...I just want you to be careful. I'd feel horrible If anything happened to you.

If one of us tells you to do something or to stop doing something, you have to do as asked. Don't argue. Don't complain or question, just obey. Someone can get hurt real bad- or worse- if things get out of control.

[Bluehorse]

Jamie stands with an umbrella and her phone already recording video with the light on. You bet your bacon I am coming along. she says with that I dare you grin of hers. She does nod to the instructions. Got it. I will tag along in the back of the group, okay?

assuming that is all settled

Spelunking with Sam... Wise?
The underground tunnels: Downtown.
Investigating the Hospital Tunnel
August 26, 2018, 10 am.
Storming!

The whole team plus one reporter make their way into the Tunnel. Once you are down with multiple lights, you can see this tunnel is old. It looks like it was originally cut out of the bedrock and shorn up with stonework on the walls and arched ceiling. The bottom, as before, is covered in a thick layer of gravel. The passage runs north to south and is relatively level.

Joker's dedicated PKE picks up two class 4s ahead, one much stronger than the other. There is a third on the outskirts of the tool's range, it is also weak but seems to be recovering more quickly.

[Samwell Turleton]

Sam heads down the tunnel in the direction he ran from, “it’s just this way a little bit, can you believe the network of tunnels that are beneath your city? You could go anywhere...access the whole city and no traffic.” Sam gives a little whistle at the idea. “No traffic”

“And some of this brick work, you just don’t see that quality construction in brick anymore...”

Sam wonders if a bicycle could be ridden down here. He makes a mental note.

[Taaz]

Seeing the blue car pull out and Lionel and Jamie get out Jason starts to stand up, Dont, like wander off. I am not filling out the paperwork for losing a 'buster in the sewers. Tully will have a coronary. He finishes standing up and walks over to the guys and the Ecto. Yeah sewers arent ideal, the entity in a sealed off part of the hospital and I've heard about him from another spirit that haunts their. He didnt say much but it had him scared. Most ghosts dont scare easy so I definitively suggest some strong tactics. I tried looking into schematics of the building but couldnt find much, I do think we can get closer and set up via a manhole. We need to get some more gear and lights. If yall think its ok, I can run back get the gear and meet you closer. You can go with Sam and get to the last manhole you can find before, even its its way before, he caught its attention. Then start poking around. he looks at the group, I also call not it, trying to talk Sam out of the sewers for future reference.

[Urson]

Joker
Joker nods at the various comments about not getting lost. That is why I brought this. I will mark the wall as we go, to keep us on track.

He reports the newest readings to the others- and continues reporting as things develop. Two class 4 and a weaker one at a distance.... Jason, I suspect your friend Jack is one of the two closer ones. Do you have any guess about this third?

[GreyWolfVT]

Roy not thrilled in hearing there are more readings "I'm starting to think we should have brought more gear."

[Taaz]

It could be, but I'm not a huge fan of that, he told me... Jason tugs at his beard He said something about a lady ghost, that could be the second.They way he talked the Big bad could hurt other ghosts, maybe feed on them. He was unhelpfully vague, but I think hes definitely the biggest threat.

[Scott308]

Lionel "Freight Train" Williams

Checking to make sure his pack seems to be functioning properly, Lionel replies. I'll go down and try to corral Sam until we get everyone ready. Head back and pick up any extra gear you think we'll need, we'll wait...well, we'll try. Can't promise the guy who is running through the sewers voluntarily isn't going to do his own thing. After descending, he'll wait for the other 'busters to get down before helping Jamie down. Sam, slow down a bit. Jason's heading back for more gear. We'll go to the last manhole before the ghosts and he'll meet us there, but we don't want to draw the their attention before he's back and we're ready.

[Taaz]

Ten roger, Jason says and nods to Lionel, I will meet you here, He points to the street nearest to the PKE pings on the phones. Anyone want to come load up just hop in He says getting into the Ecto.

I dont know if anyone else wants to come but Jason will go pick up any spare packs they might need, a Slime Blower for himself, plus traps and goggles just in case, and like all the flashlights.Just to make sure we have the extra gear nearby.

[Urson]

Joker
Joker goes down into the tunnel with the others. He paints an X on the west wall, along with an arrow pointing up.

[Rex]

Mac

Mac moves along, keeping an eye out for anything that might give the ghost away.

Storming!

Everyone splits up, the majority of the team going down into the tunnels while Jason leaves in a hurry to grab some more gear. Luckily they are about as close as you can get, being less that a 1 minute drive from the Firehouse to here. Other than a few minutes to grab the equipment and get it loaded, he is back rather quickly (We'll say 15 mins all together for run and drive time.)

Once there are plenty of flashlights down in the tunnel. it looks like it will be easy enough to navigate. Jamie ask a few random questions about the equipment and what it is for, what the PKE is reading and how to understand it. She takes some time to make sure she had correct spellings for all their names, general pre interview stuff.

At this time, Jason is back on the scene with the slime blower and a couple of extra traps.

Joker and the rest of you via the comlink on your phones are able to get a good long study at the ghost it is picking up on the other end.

Ghost 1 the stronger of the 3, is currently moving around in the basement area ahead. You are unable to see an actual map or anything, but the distance is about right.
Ghost 2 the weaker of the 3, is slowly recovering and mostly staying put.
Ghost 3 that is somewhere in the middle floats in and out of the far range of the PKE, and seems to have recovered somewhat quicker, and seems less anchored than the other two. Based on the previous readings from before, you know this energy signature belongs to Jack Feelgood. He seems to be playing it safe and staying back, though it does tend to move in now and again, attracting the attention of the first entity, drawing it away for some time, and repeating now and then before it moves back over to the second ghost.

Ok, what's the plan? It looks like this one, he says, pointing at the strongest ghost, should be our main target. Do we take the others? Jason, this is your call, since you know Jack. I know firsthand that not all ghosts are harmful, so I'm fine with leaving them alone if they aren't going to be a threat. If that changes, however, I will not hesitate to light them up.

The safety of the living, especially since we have a civilian here, has to be our top priority. If that means we are in a bad position and have to walk away to bust again another day, then that's what we need to do. Same with if the aggressive ghost is harming one of the others. If we can't prevent it safely, we don't.

Anybody have anything to add? Questions?Comments? Concerns? Random observations? Movie reviews?
