Etta and Roy can momentarily see the oncoming threat just before the camera cuts out thanks to Roy's sharp eyes. Etta hears Roys warning and is able to radio the information out to the guys. Roy in the meantime has another problem as suddenly the office closet door burst open and an old... almost ancient man in an equally old suit comes out with what looks like an old fashioned vacuum strapped over his back with a leather harness of some sort, reminding you of what the WWI Doughboys wore to carry all their gear. He moves at full speed ahead for his door, suction hose in hands and a mad look in his yellowish eyes. Fortunately, his full speed is about walking speed for Roy.
I'll get him myself! Be rid of it once and for all! This is the point when Etta would see him barging through the door into the front office and she would easily recognize the drowsy old man from that morning, Frank, Sr.
Lionel, Mac, & Joker Here is where your rolls came in. Everything was moderate, so 10+ was the goal. All of you got 10 or more on the Cool, so you see it coming. So you beat the Ghost's initiative. Your moves is to get out of the way. Lionel got a ghost!
The dice are being oddly vicious this trip! But you all won your Moves other than Joker. The guys hear Etta's voice over the radio just in time to look up and see the vapor disappear into the Forklift at the end. It rattles to life and the controls seem to move on their own as the throttle fires alive just as it slams into gear and comes charging in their direction!
Lionel feels like he is back in two-a-days and zigs his way out of the way just as it whizzes by. He isn't used to the extra weight strapped to his back though and now looks like a turtle flipped over shell down.
Mac Follows Lionel's lead and manages to also jump over the fallen Lionel as he did so. Next is even weirder...
Joker finds himself a little startled and zigs when he should have zagged... He sees the raised tines of the forklift coming right for him!!!
That is when the pipes that were banging and heating moments before rattle visibly and the larger of them burst, knocking Joker aside in the nick of time, he can actually see the wheels of the forklift go by just an inch from his nose!
A split second later, there is a horrible crash! Steam is still pouring out of the boiler pipe but most of it was let out in the first burst and it seems to be quickly losing power and turning into more of a wet stream from the broken pipe.
