I dunno yet!  I don't think we have any others that fit.  Gimme a second and I'll search for one for you.  In the meantime... here's all the equipment we have to take.  You each get a proton pack, walkie-talkie and two other pieces of equipment.  I'll shout out the order of selection... we'll go down the list, then back up.  So whoever gets first choice of the first piece will get last choice of the second piece.  Got it?  Good!  Order of random selection is as follows!''Round One!''Whetney!''Braunschwagger!''Hufflemeyer!''Pembroke!''Watzisnaam!''Ravensoul!''Round Two!''Ravensoul!''Watzisnaam!''Pembroke!''Hufflemeyer!''Braunschwagger!''Whetney!''And here is all the equipment we have.  Whetney!  You're up!  Grab the piece you want!'When you look at the table, you find the following items (items listed more than once mean there are more than one available):- PKE Meter (detects the amount of psychokinetic energy in the area)- Ecto-goggles (allows you to see non-materialized ghosts, plus infrared and magnification)- Ghost Trap (will suck up a single ghost held by two proton pack streams)- Ghost Trap (will suck up a single ghost held by two proton pack streams)- Ghost Trap (will suck up a single ghost held by two proton pack streams)- Neuralizer (memory-wiper courtesy of the Men In Black)- Electronic Paranormal Reference Book (with Tobin’s Spirit Guide, Spate’s Catalogue, and Roylance Guides included)- Digital Camcorder (includes special lenses that also record auras and the like)- Cellphone (with palm pilot capabilities and internet connection)- Cellphone (with palm pilot capabilities and internet connection)- Slimeblower Pack Attachment (can throw positively or negatively-charged slime to affect people’s emotions)- Adventurer Gear (climbing and scuba gear included)</blockquote>
