"Now to answer how I do what I do, as I mentioned before I use a combination of scientific and non-scientific methods. Primarily I go with my abilties to tune into so to speak the frequancy of which they vibrate at, some spirits I can hear only, sometimes I can only see them and then they use images and symbles to communicate with me. If their energy is strong enough they are able to fully mannifest as what us in the business call apperitions. Then it's possible for not only me,but others as well to both see and hear them." As they continued to talk the drink server and food server both came and went delivering their orders. Starla had gone into deeper details about the non-scientific methods she uses to talk to the dead, and Brennan had actually found it very interesting though her logical rational mind kept trying to convince her that this was completely illogical and impossible.
Little Joe spoke up then as he had remained passively quiet during most of the conversation so far. It was now nearly 8:30pm acording to Booth's time piece. "Starla, why don't you explane to Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan about the scientific methods we use..." Starla nodded "Well that's more Jareth's thing than mine,but I think I can share the load of explaining things..." Starla laughed. Jareth pulled out a couple different small boxes with dials and such on them from his bag he had by his feet. Starla picked up one that looked like some type of meter "This is our main tool that we use, it's called a EMF Meter. This one is called the cell sensor EMF Meter, in short the EMF meter is used for detecting the electromagnetic feilds that spirits generate..." Brennan couldn't help but interrupt "How does it tell you which electromagnetic feilds are spirits and which are say a television or some other object that creates the same feilds?" Starla didn't miss a beat she was use to being interrupted with questions like that and was there for already prepaired to answer.
"Well, as I mentioned before spirits and ghost essences vibrate on a different frequancy level than anything currently known to man,bar the technology that was lost when Atlantis sunk during the major flood along with it's sister continent Lemuria. The EMF meter we use is able to differentiate between the feilds of known objects and spirits." Jareth picked up the next one that looked something like a light meter "This one,we use to track sudden flucuations in temperature. Do to the nature of spirits and their ability to cause sudden major temperature drops. This has come in handy quite a lot, along with this we have night vision sight goggles that we can wear that have been fitted with temperature reading sensors. With a push of a button instead of being the shades of green the goggles become different colors depending on the temperature reading allowing us to scientifically determin the exsact location of the spirit or in some instances the gateway."
"Gateway?" Brennan inquired, Starla spoke up as Jareth put their tools back in his backpack. "Gateways, are what the spirits use to go between their dimention and our dimention. Basic quantom physics." Starla said confidently, Little Joe then spoke up placing his camera on the table as they had already cleared the plates, and refilled all their drinks "We also use this camera which has both night vision with inferred technology and the raidating temperature technology as well for backing up our temperature reading devices." Brennan nodded. Booth was growing ever more anxcious to talk about the case, they obviously hadn't come all this way to get a crash course in ghost hunting.
Booth leaned more towards Starla,Jareth reguarded Booth with a curious look "So, could you tell us about your expearince with this spirit that says his body is above the goldroom?" Starla nodded, she was growing more tired as the night grew later. More spirits continued to come out and it was getting more difficult to block them out. "I was outside the Chrystal Ballroom with my crew, and we were filming a segment for our documentry Haunted Hotels. I'm sure Joe still has the raw footage considering we only edit once a week. Anyway, I was about to start my dialog on the history of the hauntings surrounding the Chrystal Ballroom when I became very dizzy and I heard a man's voice screaming in my head 'Help me!' frustrated and in pain he continued to scream at me. Then I had to sit down. Normally when I'm doing a segment I block out everything so I can think clearly. Otherwise walking into a situation like that is no different from a normal person walking into a full club and trying to have a clear thought."
Brennan and Booth both nodded "I can assume then it must be very difficult." Brennan interjected still trying to come to terms with what she was telling them. Starla nodded "yes,sometimes it can even cause mingraines. Which this guy almost did trying to tell me about how his body which I assume is long been skelotonised is hidden in a crawl space which is part of the secret room above the gold room. Back during the time of the prohibition the patrons of the hotel use to hide up there during the raids. But I think he was killed during the time that the mafia was around here." Booth nodded "Do you know the guy's name or where his body might be located exsactly?" Starla nodded staring between Booth and Brennan as though she sees someone behind them. Booth and Brennan both look but don't see anything. "Is there someone behind us?" Booth asked, his sniper training kicking in. Starla flicked her eyes back to Booth as she felt Jareth give her hand a friendly squeeze. "I'm sorry, yeah, I was just listening to the spirit trying to tell me more about where his body is and such."
Booth nodded "Would it be possible for you to lead us to the body tonight?" Starla looked from Booth to Jareth who spoke up then. " I think it would serve the whole thing better if she was rested, we've spent most of the day researching and contacting spirits. I'm sure though we could atleast provide you guys with the likely name of the victum if that would be of any help." Booth nodded and pulled out his little flip note book and a pen. Starla looked as though she were consentrating very hard for a brief moment. Then she looked directly at Booth "Lawrence Nichols,he says he's from the San Francisco area. And he says he died in 1932." Brennan thought for a moment as Booth continued with the questions. "I'm just surprised they haven't found the body prior to this.." Starla nodded "Me too,but then according to Janet there hasn't been anyone up in that room since the end of the prohibition,which if my memory serves me correctly was in 1933." Starla looked at Booth as though she were expecting him to affirm the answer, he looked at her with a 'hunh?' look on his face his beer bottle paused mid-way between his mouth and the table.
Just then Jareth stood to his feet,followed by Joe. Jareth then reached down picking up Starla's hand and pulling her to her feet "I think we should all call it a night, and reconvien in the morning? Say about 9am in the lobby?" Booth set down his almost finished beer and stood up wiping his hand on his jeans before shaking Jareth's ,Starla's and Joe's hands. "Sounds good to me, I'm sure Bones will have me up though much earlier, I know she's anxcious to get her hands on those bones. Jareth I'm sure you and Joe could sympathise, with as much as Starla loves talking to the dead. So does Bones." Booth said with a joking tone, the three younger ones laughed while Brennan stood protesting "I don't talk to ghost.." Starla smiled as Jareth slipped his arm around her waist "Dr. Brennan, I am sure Booth meant no ill will and was simply referring to your uncanny ability to coax clues about one's life and death from their very bones." Booth nodded, then Brennan lightend up hitting him playfully in the arm. They all then made their way out of the patio area and up to their respective rooms to settle in for the night.
