[You're not sick of this guy's face yet? That's lucky! You're going to be seeing a lot of him over the next few days. This time around he looks a little wilder around the edges, the post-exorcism adrenaline yet to drain away and leave him tired. Exorcism number 2 wasn't as satisfying as he wanted it to be but that doesn't mean he doesn't recognize the feeling heavy in his blood. The familiarity of serving a purpose. Suddenly he looks so much more alive than usual.]

When I said contagious... [He doesn't think he was lying, exactly. Just a poor choice of words...]

The black smoke? Demons. We got a demon problem on the ship. None of us have time to sit here and debate the how they got here or why. You just need to know a couple of things.

One. Don't panic and whatever you do... don't use physical force against a demon if you see one. Contact me or Cas and walk the hell away. Those people they're possessin'? The ones they call meatsuits? They're still alive in there and any guns or knives or anything you do to them ain't gonna hurt the demon. You're just gonna kill one of your shipmates.

Two. Iron and salt. Invest in some. Take yourself to your room and make sure you've got a line of salt covering the door. No demon's gettin' past that. They can't cross iron either. Shuttle bay's a good place to head. Hotspur's already got it locked down with iron as far as I can tell.

Three. [This is where he pauses and starts to adapt his tone to something even more authoritarian than before. This is where the potential for chaos is ramped up a notch.] I have no idea how many there are but they'll be workin' to turn us against each other. You suspect someone of being a demon? Say 'Christo' to them. You see black eyes and panties in a twist and you got yourself a demon. Unless you've performed an exorcism before you're going to want to call me or Cas and yeah... Walk away.

[He trails off here and knows this is already longer than he wants it to be. He just wants to arm people with the information they might need before he gets around to exorcising all of the demons.]

Four. Be careful. Watch each other's backs. ...you feel like volunteerin' to help? Come see me.


[And now a little message for all the demons he knows will be reading this message too:] You demons? You got until I catch up with you and then you're gone. Every last one of you sons of bitches.
