Encounter 5 (Part 1): Shark Encounter
Once the talk dies down and it's time to move on, a scream will be
heard from the Shark Experince building (#33). When they rush inside
they'll see that Carlotta has fallen into the tank and is splashing
around (strangely, Carlotta doesn't know how to swim) while Raoul and
Christine look on. They look on because two sharks are swimming lazily
around the pool. There's already blood in the water because one shark
took a bite out of Carlotta.
Ghost Girl has only seconds to act, and do it without revealing her
secret identity! She could phase out the glass and have all the water
rush out, or she could jump right in and fight the sharks (with all the
splashing around the others won't be able to see her use her powers),
or perhaps she has a gun by now and can shoot the sharks. Whatever it
is, have Penelope decide quickly.

Andre will
accuse Raoul of trying to murder Carlotta and will insist on calling
the police. If Penelope checks the shark gate she'll find the padlock
next to the gate, still closed and locked. Carlotta will say that she
checked the gate beforehand and the padlock was in place. If nothing
else is done, Christine will speak up and say that she was with Raoul
and they heard Carlotta scream as they were walking into the building.
Afterwards here are the stories:
- Carlotta was checking the fish tank and leaning over
when someone pushed her from behind.
- Raoul was going to see Carlotta and try to talk her
into giving up her job to Christine.
- Christine ran over when she heard the scream, so she
didn't see anything. (Though she might lie if Raoul is going to be
arrested.)
- Andre will comment that the shark gate should have
been closed and locked with a padlock as an extra precaution.
This was all part of the Phantom's plan to get rid of his rival, Raoul,
and Christine's rival, Carlotta, in one fell swoop.
