Dan sat in a chair in Egon's lab, as Egon asked questions on Dan's strange encounter...
Egon: Did you say a girl's voice?
Dan: Yeah. It was saying, "Help me, Jupiter." Then it screamed. I didn't see or hear anything after that.
Ray stood by the shelves on the opposite side of the lab, turning on various kinds of equipment, and messing with knobs on each device he activated. He then turned his attention to the conversation...
Ray: Who's, "Jupiter"?
Dan: That's a good question. I think it was referring to me.
Egon: I would believe that to be impossible. That is, unless, you're Jupiter, also known as Zeus or Jove. Jupiter was the almighty king of the gods in roman mythology. Oak trees were sacred to the thunder god of the sky, who easily controlled and manipulated the weather. Many feared him, but Jupiter was not cruel.
Dan: But still, it's kinda odd that someone calls out Jupiter, there's no one in the room but me, in turn I'm the only one that hears it. Case in point: I think I'm going nuts!
Ray: Trust me, Dan... I've met many people that are crazier than you, so believe me when I say this... you're not even remotely insane.
Dan: Thanks, that just... lifts a burden off my shoulders! Look, if you really think I'm whacked out of my mind, just say so! Just because I'm your partner doesn't mean you have to lie to me about my attitude, just so I can feel better about myself! We're way beyond bullshit here!
Egon and Ray exchanged glances. They realized the man wasn't in too good a shape. For the time being, anyway...
Egon: Daniel, I think it's time you took a break. After what happened today, you could use a day or 2 of rest.
Ray: I would take his advice, Dan.
Dan looked at the floor, as he thought about Egon's advice. He looked back up to the scientist...
Dan: No. I don't need rest. I'll be fine. ::stands up:: I just need to put this out of my mind.
Dan walked out of the room. Ray and Egon walked to the desk in the very back of the lab. Egon held out his hand as he spoke to Ray...
Egon: Did you get the readings?
Ray: ::hands Egon PKE meter:: All there. Recorded and ready to go.
Egon turned on the meter, and set it to "View" mode. The reflection of the LCD screen appeared in the scientists glasses as random bits of information ran across the screen. As the list of info stopped, Egon's mouth hung open, as he took note of the readings...
Egon: Oh Mother of Pearl!
Ray: What is it?
Egon showed Ray the meter. Ray did the same. They looked at each other, as the soft beeping of the meter filled the silence of the room.
