Once the Eggs and the Momma Gremlin were left at the Junkyard / Dump, the GB Team headed back to the HQ, but on the way there, they heard an Advertisement for one of GBI's competitors, "Exorsystems" on the radio.

Once back at the HQ, they did an assessment and began some clean up before going to bed.

Walter Calls the Team back to the HQ in order to finish cleaning, while he waits for them to arrive he picks up Tobins Spirit guide and looks up information about Gremlins.

1. They Either love, or Hate Technology
2. They are intelligent, and have their own language
3. They breed in hordes, but the numbers are kept down by most of the young eating each other.
4. They vary wildly in appearance.

Anything you to know specifically?

After a quick search on Ebay, you find that you could sell all of the vintage equipment in the HQ, working and non working for about $2000 over the course of a week. Radiation Suit, Old Fallout Shelter signs, Geiger counters, vintage canned foods, etc.

>>14063075
Keep a geiger counter if it still works. Keep it in the equipment room in case one of the packs springs a leak.

>How about life-cycle, whether they will stay within one specific area or will ruthlessly expand, and if any records exist of peaceful co-existence with the things, or are all human-paranormal interactions inevitably doomed to end in proton streams and ghost traps?

They generally stay in any area with an artificial boundary around it. They have a massive breeding season about once a year. There is a current theory that this breeding season is directly related to release dates of the most popular technological item of the year. They are thought to be related to or even a sub species of brownies or boggans, both of which have had friendly relations to humans. During WWII some mechanics claimed to have befriended gremlins, taking them on a bomber or fighter mascots. The Squadrons doing this did have noticeably fewer mechanical failures.

Contrary to popular belief, Proton Packs use no atomic fuel. They are entirely electrical in nature.

"The GB Team arrives and beings to clean the HQ.
The Elevator has been fixed and most of the lights replaced the previous night."

Dr. Anneliese Morgen approaches Walter and asks him a question.

"Hey Boss, I was wondering if I could get 150$ out of petty cash to put together a proper field medical kit, and set up a first aid station here at the HQ?"

Remember to Roll 2d6 with your Action Suggestions,

>>14063200
"Sure, Dr. Morgen. When I get a chance, I'll see if GBI HQ has any manuals or info-bulletins on any paranormal medical conditions you'll need to look out for."

And when we get a chance, actually do so.

>>14063200
Yes, but if you think we can't afford the first aid station now, make sure to prioritize the field medical kit first. If you get hurt in the shelter, its easier to mend it up than if you were out fightan ghosts.

Barry Mentions that once he finishes up cleaning the bunk rooms, he can start adding the graphics and Official GB Ecto Conversion kit to the new Ecto 13.
He also mentions that he has plenty of experience in modifying Vehicles for better performance, and will be happy do do so once we get some more petty cash.

Furniture for the office is going to be another matter.
Your a little low on petty cash atm ($275). Abraham Abraham suggests using the old Exercise area, (Area 10 >>14062757 )

Walter and Dr.Morgen head up stairs to the enclosed parking area where the Ecto 13 is parked.

Once they get to the Vehicle its clear, some one slashed the drivers side tires. There is a note left under the drivers side windshield wiper.

The Note reads "Fuck You Dickbusters, Leave now"

I read all the suggestions, and the dice rolls give them more weight, remember you can link to a suggestion you like and roll as well. Also this isnt like a classic table top game at the moment, we have like 30 people playing so I have to have some way to narrow down the choices. Besides its working well so far. There are times in which I will ask people to roll actual skill checks and the like for characters based on their stats too.

>>14063783
I agree; we need to figure out if there's a way to seal the surface garage.
I'm also liking the idea of security cameras when we have the money to buy them.

>>14063783

The upper parking area is like a large warehouse, 1 big double entrance that currently has to be opened and closed manually, so its been left open for the time being. The came in that way. While looking for clues you come across something in the tire. Its half of the metal end of a Screwdriver, the tool used to blow out your tires.

What will you do now Ghostbuster?

>>14063819

Walter runs the MK.1 PKE meter over the Note just to be sure, and there is indeed a very feint PKE trace on it, as if the paper or possibly ink on the note was exposed to large amount of PKE energy in the not too distant past.

>>14063851

Nice to know I was missed.

Right, as to out slashed tires situation I second the motion of reporting the incident to the police, but we also need to improve our security.

So far we've got two suspects: the competition (ExorSystems) or another ectoplasmic entity (possibly a gremlin that we missed or another ghost).

Rolling for cops suggestion.

Walter and Dr.Morgen load up the cheap office furniture, and bring it back to the HQ, once there Walter calls the cops, who send a squad car...

I'd hold back on the gremlin idea.

So many ways that could go wrong. Besides we just spent the last two sessions trying to get rid of them. (And besides the momma we really don't know any other tech-friendly ones since the eggs haven't hatched yet, as far as we know.)

A dig might be good, though maybe we should wait.

>>14064111
Seconding this, we need to gather more information on the competition.

Lastly, we still have the dad gremlin trapped, right?

Walter and Barry pull up to the junkyard, and disembark from the Ecto 13, which is now deck out with Ghostbuster Graphics and Useless attachments that are simply there to make it look cooler. It is a Replikit after all.

You and Barry walk in on foot, Professor Aleron has his PKE Meter out while you keep him covered with your proton pack.

"Hmmm, this Entire area is active, Im getting readings from all over." Professor Aleron Remarks.

As he does so, you hear a skittering and a clang of metal behind you, then a chorus of small voices laughing and whispering. There is a nearby Television
not far from where you are standing now.

What do you do Ghostbusters?

Nope, I don't know what I would call myself beyond a Jack of all business trades from web design to marketing.

We can tape the duct tape up discreetly in various locations and map the exposures on a google map to get a paranormal map of the city

Make the Vulcan symbol, using Walter's Cool and Fast talk as follows.

"Live long and prosper. We come in peace, and we're dropping off a friend. Show yourselves, so we know you won't, y'know, turn us inside out." Nothing like a little humor.

I love it. "We have no money, only ideas!" *ker-ching* "Well that was nice."
I'd hold the money until they tell the ideas to HQ, as an incentive to actually put them in motion.

This isn't exactly relevant to our current situation, but there's something that's been bothering me.

Pine Box is a high risk area for paranormal activity because 100 years or so ago, half of the town spontaneously died under mysterious circumstances.

I think it would be highly beneficial to our operation if we were more intimate with the town's history, it coudl give us clues as to what might be out there. As I understand it, most of our current knowledge into the town's past comes from old legends and rumor.

Is there a library or something where we could do some research? We could look for tragic events that might have spawned some unruly spirits -- fires, train wrecks, plagues, stuff like that.
(Obviously not something that needs to be done RIGHT NOW, but maybe in the near future)

rolled 2, 5 = 7

>>14064891
wileat follow,

Agreed. We need to research the town we're operating in.

On a related note: Are any of our employees natives of Pinebox?

Walter holsters his Neutrino Wand, and walks up to the Television and places one hand on it, while making the vulcan sign with his other. Professor Aleron, starts to hum the original star trek theme song.

"Live long and prosper. We come in peace, and we're dropping off a friend. Show yourselves, so we know you won't, y'know, turn us inside out."

There is another round of the many tiny voices laughing, and more chattering and whispers, and a few moments latter Momma Gremlin walks out from behind an old junked car. She walks up to you showing the Vulcan living long and prosper sign to you.

What do you do now Ghostbusters?

Idle question OP, but is this a real town?

>>14064984

Momma Gremlin points to the trunk of an old car.

You try to impress the mental idea of an exchange of services. She keeps an eye out for "Romulans or Klingons" Crossing over into federation space, and she will receive Historical artifacts of the great Kirk.

You place the trap in to trunk of the car, and close the lid, once you are at the full length of the pedals cord, you open the trap.

*BZZWUP!*

There is a screeching and clanging, the sound of metal being hit and torn....

Momma Gremlin quickly slides in to the trunk, lifting the lid just enough for slip in....

After a couple of seconds, the screeching and banging calms down, a chittering exchange between the two seems to take place, some cooing and eventually a rythmic bang clang beings to come from the trunk, the car shakes a little each time.

What will you do now Ghostbusters?

>>14065009
As long as we're trying to forge a mutually beneficial partnership with the Gremlins, I wonder if we could get them to scavenge the junkyard/dump for parts and gadgets to dig up for us.
I mean, who knows what kind of cool stuff might be buried out there?

>>14065077

Nope, its not, but it may as well have been.

I really don't want to disturb them if they're doing what I think they're doing, but we need to get the empty trap back somehow.

rolled 6, 6 = 12

>>14065124
We can negotiate the possibility of "Federation archeological expeditions" at a later point in time.
Right now, I don't think we should go a-knockin' while the trunk is a-rockin'.

Let's spool up the trap, and go home. And make sure that Walter and Barry scan each other with a PKE meter to make sure one of the kids hasn't hitched a ride.

>>14065189

Walter attempts to slowly reel in the trap, and eventually manages to get get most of it out of the car's trunk.

Its going to need some repairs before its ready to go again.

Let's get back to base. And make sure to scan each other and the Ecto-13 to make sure we don't have any hitchhikers.

Walter and Professor Aleron head back to the Ecto 13 which is parked outside of the junkyard.

They both board Ecto 13, but only after giving each other and the truck Thorough scan with the Mk.1 PKE Meter. Everyone comes up clean.

Its about 10pm now. As Walter pulls away from the junkyard, and on to the street his Phone rings... Its Dr. Morgen...

>>14065203
"This thing is a mess. Think you can fix it?" I ask Barry.

Scan the Ecto 13 with the PKE meters to make sure we don't have any stowaways.

If we're clean, go back to base and call it a night.

>>14065298

Now's the time to get friendly with Stanz. Out of them all, he's most likely to get a geeky relationship well enough for him to hand us out some of those earlier mentioned blueprints.

Although I'd advise just sticking with just one quest at a time.

>>14065372
MiB is going to cut into more possible Ghostbusters Quests! MiB is only good because of Tommy Lee Jones, also. Ghostbusters is just all-round awesome

Questions and Comments are now welcome. : D I really have a lot of fun running this quest.

Are the proton streams simply protons? like hydrogen plasma?

why do proton streams hurt ghosts?

rolled 2, 5 = 7

>>14065430
>>14065415

Where's our dog?

>>14065481

The proton stream is a positively charged stream of mainly protons, that latch on to the negatively charged Ectoplasm of ghosts. When a Ghost is struck by the beam it is literally shorted out, resulting in vaporization of the ectoplasmic body, faster then the ghost can replenish it. Some Ghosts have a large reserve of PKE that must be siphoned or drained off by repeated use of the Proton back, before it can be held immobile in the particle streams for trapping.

>>14065558

Dog is in the works. >: 3

Are we going to have the chance to buy upgraded tools like the slime guns or the shit from the game?

Are we going to be able to, eventually, develop similar tools?

>>14065567

Hmm I could set MiB Quest in Pinebox too.

>>14065600

Yes, and Yes.

You will be able to buy Tools from the HQ, or Plans to build your own. You are also welcome to develop your own tools and ideas.

Want a Proton Grenade? Sure tell me how it works and why, and you can research it.

It will cost you time and money.

>>14065604
Ghosts and Aliens in the same town?

That would give a whole new meaning to "Something strange in the neighborhood", but I wouldn't advise it.

Also, putting in my vote for a German Sheppard or Husky if/when the team gets a dog.

>>14065641
Working similarly to a camera flash. About the size of a soft ball, you set it where you want, and upon being triggered, a small emitter pops out of the top, and fires a small arc of charged protons into the immediate surrounding area.

>>14065641
On that continuing thought train, if we end up developing something really amazing on our own, without plans from HQ, would they buy our idea from us? Or some other similar reward?

>>14065750

Yes! Very much SO!

>>14065836
I don't suppose I could squeeze an example of such an occurrence happening out of you? An item's description or something along those lines?
