"Hmmm. Maybe since this is our first attempt, we'll just use the audio equipment. See if maybe we can't get some voices." The looks on the others' faces ranged for speculation to near complete disinterest. Too bad for them Fran was so giddy to begin testing that she hardly noticed. She took her place in the circle and laid the Ouija board in the center. "Wonderful." Pulling some candles from her pocket, she set them around the area where they sat. "Zacharie, would you mind?" He was the only one present who always had a lighter on him anyway.

“Certainly.” He said, taking his lighter from his coat pocket and kneeling down to light the candles. Zacharie didn’t really think twice about it, he was fairly certain that he was the only one on the base who smoked. He was pretty certain. After he finished lighting the candles he took a look at the various gadgets the brought in. “Alright, which one of these is the audio recorder then?”

"Ah." Gordon looked at it with interest. He sat quietly and took a deep breath. The atmosphere was quite calm though he had a feeling that that may not last for a while. He couldn't help but feel something was a bit..... ominous. Only time would tell then. He looked at the lit candles and the equipment set up and sighed. "Well then, are we soon to begin?"

He actually had looked right over it. Zacharie coughed and put a hand over his mouth to hide a bit of embarrassment. "Ah of course, I didn't see the recorder there." Zach took the device from Eunice and looked over at Fran. "Where do you want this placed?"

He "didn't see the recorder there" huh? Riiiight. The best thing about seeing Zacharie in a potentially embarrassing situation was the fact that he usually tried to cover it up the exact same way every time. Fran grinned and said, "Set it up over here so we can be sure it'll pick up all of us." Nearly everything was in place for the first test. "All we need is the lights turned off and we're ready to go!"

"Turn th' lights off, gottit." Eunice stood up with a grunt and went to the top of the stairs to the switch, turning the lights out. "Hang on jes a minute... lemme feel mah way down-" Twack! The engineer slipped on some wet red paint and hit the back of her head on the stairs. "Ow ow ow ow ow..."

"Ah. Are you alright there Eunice?" Gordon stood up a little. From the small glow of the candles, he could see that the Engineer must have slipped and fell. "Be careful."

"I- I'm fine!" The engineer called, rubbing the back of her head, her cheeks red from embarrassment. "D-don't worry, I-I'm good."

"Alright. If you say so then." Gordon said as he took a seat back down, waiting.

Finally down the stairs, the engineer waddled over to the others and sat back down in the circle, slightly embarrassed. "I uhh... let's g-git this thing started..."

He took his seat next to Fran, still holding the audio recorder. "Ah, I'd thought it dried by now." The can must be over there, but he didn't take fault for it. Zacharie set down the audio recorder and checked it for tape. There was indeed what looked to be a blank tape wound into one side. "Ready." He hit the record button.

Fran was about to go help the engineer out, but she was back on her feet and insisting everything was okay before she could move. Tripping and falling for no reason? Maybe the ghosts were already at work?
Or the spilled paint. That's probably it. "Alright," she sat eagerly with a clipboard on her lap, ready for notes. The candles were having an amazing effect, casting a flickering orange glow on the faces of those gathered in the musty basement. They really couldn't ask for a more perfect setting. "This is what, we're going to do. First we summon the ghost pyro to come visit us, then, feel free to ask it anything about the night it died or anything else you think a ghost would now about really. And I'm going to need you to at least try to be a little bit serious. Ghosts usually don't take too kindly to being mocked. Or that's what I've read anyway." The book she read said that holding hands was the best way the channel energy. Once Zacharie sat next to her though, she decided not to mention that part.
"Let's begin." Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and said in a low voice words she had memorized earlier. "Dearest spirit we invite you to join us here. We seek your knowledge and offer our love." It would have been easier if she knew the poor fellow's name. Unfortunately, that was lost along with those blasted files. She continued to chant the phrase a few more times.

Gordon kept silent and focused on what Fran was saying. They were attempting to call upon the spirit of the ghost Pyro should he be willing to come..... Gordon closed his eyes as well, seemingly becoming immersed in the atmosphere created. Only Fran's voice could be heard. He clenched his fist in anticipation? Nerve? Fear? He didn't know as it seemed to be a natural reaction as he waited..... Mind seemingly going blank at the time, waiting.

Zacharie was going to attempt to be on his best behavior. He calmly sat and listened to Fran. He didn’t close his eyes; he just looked on at the people around him. Who actually believed this stuff? Would anything actually happen if they purposefully went looking for the damn thing. He rolled his eyes, no one would see him do it really. But, if this is what she wanted to do, maybe it’d put up with it a bit.
