The police in Poughkeepsie, New York, are a pretty competent bunch of people. Not as easily set off as big-city cops, sure, but they do a good job by their charges. And sometimes, they're more observant than anyone might suspect. The word's out about Pennsylvania, after all. Anything that involves the National Guard and what amounts to the Pied Piper in reverse is something that they don't want in their town.

So when one of them spots a Peterbilt truck with out-of-state plates wheeling into town, and later that afternoon spots a small flotilla of strangers checking into the Days Inn, well... he's gonna ask at the front desk, and then he's gonna call bullshit on all of these guys from Illinois supposedly having come all this way to visit the Culinary.

And when he looks down at the sound of a squeak and a crunch and realizes the parking lot is just beginning to crawl with mice? He's gonna call a few people in Pennsylvania, and then he's gonna call his chief, and then, by mutual agreement, they are going to call the Ghostbusters.

Where that truck is he doesn't know, but he wants it gone.

"A significant percentage of the license plate holders are wanted on illegal firearms trafficking charges, three of the Party's leaders have criminal records as long as your arm, and the majority of them've left an Internet trail a mile wide of rantings about everything from US immigration policy to white power to Inu-Yasha convention exclusive toys being the tools of the Zionist conspiracy. So, no, not particularly stable people here. I'm not so sure how well armed they are at the moment, if only because the police haven't exercised their warrant for the cars yet."

"I'm guessin' you'd rather we didn't shoot to kill, as far as it's reasonable not to," Indy advances. He glances at Mel, knowing she has the combat skills and the zapper to take people out without permanent damage. He kinda lacks the luxury of those assets.

"I'll... er... do my best."

"We appreciate the effort," Ray says. "Do what you can. Given that the President authorized this operation, there's probably going to be a measure of leeway if things get messy."
