My Furry Bat_Part 2

The next day, another team of ghost chasers is approaching the GIV, Ghost Intercept Vehicle. Conventional authorities have brought the ghost chasers support team to this location, because the GIV BaaJack has been activated. The GIV is dark, cold, and silent. Sheriff squidbilly defers to the ghost chasers support team, who are allowed to go along the swamp as they wish. Sheriff squidbilly is preparing body bags for the ghost chasers team, whom were presumed dead (already) as soon as they entered the swamp! It comes as no surprise to the sheriff, that these "adventure seekers" have had enough adventure for awhile. He, and we, have more sense than to go wandering into a haunted swamp.

Sheriff squidbilly expects that the ghost chasers support team will find a bunch of dead ghost chasers, or perhaps a really fat alligator who just now ate a ghost chaser. Tastes like chicken. Hence the need for all these body bags. Those ghost chasers are sure to be dead by now. There they go, into the swamp! The stellar sun is rising, giving subtle tones to the darkness. Those ghost chasers had  disappeared well before sunset the previous day. These ghost chasers support people are following a trail of the presumed-dead.

A subtle beep-beep-beep emanates from the GIV GPS console. The on-board display reads, "battery low" in big red letters. Beep, Beep, "battery low, battery low". Man4 notices the display briefly, from outside of the GIV. He nods to his comrades. The ghost chasers support team is communicating with non-verbal signals only. Man4 looks at the GIV more closely, inside and out. No sign of life whatsoever. Not down below…

  [Man4 looks underneath the GIV. Ghost chasers support team members, man5 and woman3, shine some flashlight beams underneath the GIV, Ghost Intercept Vehicle ]. Man4: "Clear!"

 [Man4 follows the power supply cable from the GIV (undamaged) to a pile of debris (the Victorian Mansion, or the remains there whereof). Man5 and woman3 shift their flashlight beams to the top of the GIV. They look all around. And around again in case one might be hiding up there]. Woman3: "Clear!"

Man5: "Where does it go ?" [referring to the power umbilical cord.]

Man4: "Noplace out of this world. It appears to go into this pile of debris. In this universe".

Man5: "That's comforting to know. At least it is in this universe.".

GIV: "Beep boop boop boop."

Woman3: "We are going to need a man lift (sic) and some shoring bars!"

Man5: "And an all-terrain vehicle!"

Man4: "Who ever heard of an all-terrain man lift?"

Woman3: "I hear something."

Man5 and Man4 [to each other] mime "shh" using non-verbal signals… remember we are supposed to communicate using non verbal signals only..

Voice of man2 [ coming from the GIV console inside of the GIV ] "hello out there.. hello…. Hellooo "

Woman3: "I hear two somethings."

Voice of man2 [ coming from the GIV console inside of the GIV ] "I am here in the wreckage"

[POV in the wreckage, woman 2 punches man2] man2: "Oof, I mean we are here in the wreckage".

[POV camera position inside of the GIV looking out] Woman3: "I do hear something." [points to the debris]

Man4: "It's coming from the GIV."

Woman3: [stands in between the wreckage of the Victorian Mansion, and the GIV. She can hear "voice of man2" coming from the Wreckage and also from the GIV.] "I hear you (man2 name)."

Man2: :[ from inside the wreckage of the Victorian Mansion] "Aaugh! you would not believe what is going on in here!"

Man5 and Woman 3: " man2, is that you? Are you alright?"

[Woman3 is listening more to the debris. Man4 and Man5 are listening more to the console in the GIV. The voice of Man2 is coming out of both places. Woman3, man4, and man5, can hear both the console in the GIV and the real voices from inside a big pile of debris. The ghost chasers team is still alive! Hooray! On the other hand, the old Victorian Mansion is still becoming a pile of debris. Pieces of wood are still falling off. Clang, clomp, trupmph! ]

Man2: "Yes. And no. In this order.
