Re: Investigation #5: Joker, Roy, & Mac: The Haunting of 601 North E Street
Roy once able to and feeling more energetic will help with gear repairs and checking to make sure containment is working correctly with all the new spirits/ghosts it now holds.

There was a LOT to unpack here and I have been at it since about 8:30 this morning. If I have made and error, missed something, etc. let me know and I will amend it as soon as I can.
This was a BIG mission and gives some big hints to what is yet to come. No Joke I think I over planned but there is probably 5 years worth of story here for the pace we have set.
