History

Ron Alexander tested his atomizing pack on dummies in Jimmy's apartment. Jimmy had a bad feeling but Ron felt confident his next attempt would be a success. He advised Jimmy to stand a little further back. He did a three count then opened fire. The dummy was blown apart. Jimmy correctly guessed it was back to the drawing board. Ron noted the dummies were getting expensive.

Ron still had his key to the apartment and used the space for the construction of his and Jillian Holtzmann's Remote Access Teleportation Unit. Jimmy was annoyed Ron didn't even give him a head's up he was in town. Ron filled in Jimmy on how the Ghostbusters came to have teleportation technology but Jimmy suspected he stole something and was back to puttering about in his uncle's apartment. Ron introduced Jimmy to Holtzmann then they proceeded to test it. They successfully tested it but they were unaware the Ghostbusters were conducting an experiment observing the inside of the Containment Unit. Ron and Holtzmann's unit piggybacked off the original in the Firehouse basement and thus, activated it as well. Peter Venkman deposited a ghost at the same time and inadvertently set off a chain reaction. Jimmy radioed Ron and informed him the teleportation unit was acting weird. Ron and Holtzmann teleported back into the apartment and watched as their invention generated several portals at once. Holtzmann knew the unit lacked the power to make so many at once and threw a big switch but nothing happened. Ron pulled the plug on the unit and turned it off. He guessed Holtzmann turned off the refrigerator instead then insisted they could fix the glitch. Jimmy prayed.
