Mid-January, 2008
RCMP/Ministry of Extraordinary Threats Emergency Hangar
Alert, Nunavut, CAEven in times of the highest tension and most danger, people find ways to keep themselves busy, and neither the Ghostbusters nor the men and women of the world's northern watch bureaus were any great exception. "Ray? Ray! Ray, check it out." Venkman shook ( Read more... )

It takes a while to gather everyone up who's still able to make it back to the hangar at Alert. The first sight that greets the returnees is a lot of Russians- very nearly the full crew complement of a Typhoon-class submarine, few of whom if any speak English. An impromptu infirmary's been set up nearby, mostly for frostbite, impact injury, and utter exhaustion. Dark Schneider will be waking up there, and at Peter Venkman's insistence will have, shall we say, some of the better scenery available in the area. Hey, the man saved their asses from a lot. Venkman figures they owe him ( ... )

There's one less-than-happy gadget hero poking at his dinner plate.

He just down one mentor, in the form of a Femme Fatale known only as The Flying Squirrel. "Ray? were you able to get anything on what might have happened to her?"

Ray hasn't been looking too cheerful himself, despite Peter's and Winston's best efforts to the contrary. He looks up at Tyler's question. "No clue," he says. "The number of dimensional rifts and reality tears in the area make it all but impossible to trace down exactly what happened to her. I couldn't even use a PKE meter up here without it shutting down and refusing to work, let alone the really sensitive stuff. We may have to go back to Milliways and find someone to do a divination or a scry for us... I'm sorry, Tyler."

"Code names?" He says halfheartedly. "I hope she's okay. She was more worried about me. And about me randomly turning invisible."

"Moon Shadow. Sorry. It's been a long day," says Ray. "Wait. Turning invisible? You didn't come down with a case of metapowers, did you?"

"God I hope not." He shudders a moment. "But I think if I was going to get metapowers, they would have happened the first time I was exploded into space."

"Okay, so it's probably something that happened here," Ray says. "In that case, when we get out of the area, I want to run a full scan series on you and see if we can't figure out what's clinging to you energetically. We might have an issue with some of the local arcane energies, or it might be something to do with what the Squirrel gave you- and if it's something of hers I might be able to use it to start searching for her universe and see if she's actually in it."

"She gave me something that'd sheild me from magic spells." He perks up. "It's still on my utility belt!"

"Terrific. She told me about that once. If I can get a good clear scan of its PKE signature, that'll be a fantastic place to start," Ray says. "Can I see it, in the meantime?"

"Sure," It takes a moment of fiddling to undo the latch with gloves, but he pushes it over to Ray once it's off.

...He's probably going to get a talking to for this later, though he doesn't know it.

Ray examines the device thoughtfully, then detaches his PKE meter from his belt and starts scanning. He has to have the damper pushed all the way over to the right to filter out the sheer residual juju in the area, though, so the scan takes a while. Eventually he pushes the device back. "I'll do the analysis when we get home," Ray says. "Thank you, Tyler."

"Thanks Ray. I'm probably going to stick around a while."

"Here, in this world?" Ray says.

"Either here or in Milliways..."
