Ghostbusters: The Rift to Hell
Chapter 2

"Good, you made it," said Egon as he walked through the door, carrying a stack of papers underneath his arm. Seated at a long table, next to Jason, was Egon's old colleague, Ray Stanz.

"Egon, you interruped my lecture on the Nocturnal Habits of Ecto-Plasmic Entities off the Southern Coast of Africa. The kids were enraptured." Ray had an annoyed look on his face, which faded away and became concern. "Anyway, what did you want, Spangler?"

"Sorry about calling you away from Columbia, but this is important." Egon signaled to Jason, and the young man told his tale. When it was over, Egon handed the stack of papers to his old friend. "My friend at NYU gave me a report of the psycho-kinetic energy readings from the recording devices we put in the city after our...artistic difficulties a decade ago. As you can see, there has been a steady increase throughout the past two weeks. Most of the activity seems to be centralized at Times Square. I've also heard reports of New Yorkers acting obnoxious, rude, and at some times insane. This can only mean that something very...bad is coming."

"You call Venkman yet?" inquired the man seated at the table.

"No, he's been on tour with Dana. I hear their singing career is going quite well. I've managed to contact his agent, Chris Ashton, and he simply said that Peter isn't dealing with any fans right now...I don't know what that means though. For now, I thought you and I should conduct our own scientific investigation. If the situation calls for it, we'll bring Peter and Winston in."
