As an "employee" of Beyond Investigation Magazine, New York was supposed to collect EVP, electronic voice phenomenon, and make contact with a young ghost girl named Jackie who had supposedly drowned in the first class pool. New York failed to collect an EVP. New York then advanced to the next task, which was to make contact with spirits in the darkest hall on the ship, known as the Vortex. She failed this challenge, mostly due to her incessant screaming and eventual pulling her boss back out into the lighted hall. Her third task was to speak with a ghost named Henry in the ship's boiler room. Henry was supposed to be very angry, having been a worker accidentally boiled during his job. Nervous, she feels something touch her arm and runs out of the room. In the final challenge, they conduct a seance, where New York is initially scared; within a few minutes she feels something touch her arm again and runs screaming to a higher, lighted deck, refusing to finish.
