The Banana 9000[3] is an advanced computer that provides effective communication with others.
History[]
Primary Canon[]
During construction on the Plasmic Strainer, Ray Stantz presented the Banana 9000 to Slimer. Ray had added a voterizer synthetic speech library to the computer so that Slimer could effectively communicate with the Ghostbusters.[4][5] Once a message was typed on the 9000, it read the message aloud in perfect English.
Secondary Canon[]
During the Proteus incident, Janine Melnitz utilized the Banana 9000 to replay captured audio from Slimer's Recorder Pack after he went inside the Containment Unit on a reconnaissance mission.
Trivia[]
