Jillian smiles at Erin, who cautiously lets go before leaving to assist Abby and Patty in collecting slime samples.

With the other are three busy with sample collecting, Jillian powers on her proton pack while moving at a slow pace in the reading room. She looks around, noticing a trail on the floor leading to the other end of the room where she notices the trail has stopped at the wall.

Jillian: ‘Kay. Whatever you are, it’s cheating if you just go through the walls. Have a little respect.

She watches as the ghost emerges from the wall. He has glasses and appears to be in a uniform with a ghostly proton pack of his own.

Jillian: Whoa.

The ghost approaches.

Jillian: Guys? He’s in here!

Jillian prepares to fire, but it is too late. He is too fast with his proton gun, firing a brief shot of energy that seemingly paralyzes Jillian in place just long enough for him to approach closer. The last thing Jillian sees is the name tag “SPENGLER” on the ghost’s uniform.

Suddenly her body feels merged with the spirited being himself. She is shaking, feeling her body being overridden by this peculiar ghost that has suddenly merged with her, all while she now drips of the clear slime from head to toe.

Her eyes widen. She can sense that he is making communication with her through her own voice as the rest of the team arrive. Jillian slowly turns around to face her team.

Erin: Holtzmann are you okay???

Abby: Did you get him?

Patty: Damn, did he hit first?

Erin: Holtz?

All three draw their proton guns upon firing up their packs. There is an almost glazed expression on Jillian’s otherwise petrified face.

Jillian: Do not… shoot. Please. I have temporarily occupied the space of this body.

Patty: Ah shit, it’s in you???

Jillian: Yes. I led you here where it’s safe. The fire station would be too combustible for this meeting. Do not worry. Your colleague is safe. She will feel a sensation of dizziness when this is over, but only briefly.

Abby: We need you to get out of our friend, whoever you are!

Jillian: She is your friend and it is my sincerest hope that you will find me to be a friend as well. My name is Spengler.
