To those of you who require further information or supplies, come to... What did you call it again? [There's some muttering off-feed.] Holodeck 1? At midday.

This is also a request for those with an affinity for languages to step forward. Particularly if you are familiar with Latin. There is a way to force demons from their hosts, but it requires an exorcism chant that needs to be recited word for word.

[And then he's on to the part of this message that he's less comfortable with. It also happens to be something he didn't tell Dean about in advance, which is why it only gets added once he's stepped out of the room.]

I...also need a volunteer for something potentially dangerous. Preferably human, and your soul needs to be your own.

...that's everything.

[No, wait. There's still one last thing. A warning, to an extent.]

Crowley. I suggest you speak with your "friends" before it's too late.

What is this "potentially dangerous" thing?

voice | encrypted

[rebelled]

I need somebody who is willing to share a portion of their soul.

[awakenings]

With whom? Or what?

Text (apologies, typing on a tablet)

[theguidinghand]

I shall go.

I am not human, but humans and my species share a relatively recent common ancestor. The danger of your task might be lessened, as I am far more resilient than a human.

[If he lives through it, he can rightly claim to have protected humans, and if he dies, he dies in a manner fit for a Blade. Politics.]

What are you?

[Because a human is his ideal candidate, but he knows he isn't in a position where he can ignore other options.]

[theguidinghand]

I am not prepared to discuss that publicly. [At least not when his PR is at its lowest.]

However, I assure you that my species' physiology is similar to that of humans, so much so that if stripped of our skin, humans and my kind would be difficult to distinguish. If that is sufficient for your needs, my offer stands.

Who else's soul would it be?

voice;

[rebelled]

There are demons aboard the ship. Many are prone to making trades.

[doomhoops]

Demons? [ You can practically hear the eyebrow quirk. Sorry, he's new and still thinks half of you people are crazy. ] Okay... Mutant close enough to human for you?

So you're not friends with him. Crowley. At least your voice suggests.

[rebelled]

No. Crowley is a demon.

[Which is enough of a reason to not like him, right?]

[maleit]

Yes. [ He knows, and is- personally very well aware. ]

[ Castiel's tone proves probably a very valid point. Still, Yoite rebuts curiously, ]

Says the guy who's asking about souls.

purpose of the volunteer?

I require a portion of their soul in order to restore my Grace.

[ He's curious enough to reply, his accent a softer version of the Received Pronunciation, ]

Dare I ask exactly what you'd need someone's soul for? [ Not that he believes in the necessity of this, of course, but he's curious. ]

[rebelled]

Souls are an...exceedingly powerful source of energy. They can be used to help restore a portion of my Grace, and with it my ability to locate and kill demons.

[pocketfulofsouls]

My friends?

Surely you can see what sort of position you've put me in. Your lot did take the first blood.

But.

Nothing's impossible, I suppose. I'm listening to the solution you've got in mind.

[ This is the only hint that there might be something Crowley doesn't like about the way things are headed either. ]

[rebelled]

They aren't welcome here.

[And sorry, Crowley, but that extends to you too.]

Either you assert your control over them, or you assist us in ridding the ship of them. Unless you wish to be grouped along with the rest of the demons here, there are no other options.

[anomaliiiiies]

My soul? For what?

[private]

[rebelled]

A human soul is a tremendous source of power. Syphoning a portion of it would help to restore my Grace, and subsequently make it quicker and easier for me to rid this ship of demons.

[angerissues]

How potentially dangerous are we talking here? And why do our souls matter?

private voice; 95% encrypted

[rebelled]

Souls can be used as a source of power for my kind. However, the process of extracting that energy is painful for the one donating, and a single mistake made could result in their death.

Your request for volunteers omits significant detail.

[To others, he may not look any different to normal, but this angel is definitely uncomfortable talking about this.]

I require the assistance of those who are willing to share a portion of their soul with me. By using it to restore my Grace, I will be able to dispatch the demons here far more quickly than I'm currently able to.
