Seems to be quite the death toll adding up around 'ere. Funny thing is, seems to be the folks that seemed decent doing the killing.

[dowhatimust]

I am still decent, Gene. These individuals were minions of Sam Winchester's and Gabriel's. Demons. I have cleansed their stench from your home. And I will kill many more demons - entire armies if I must - to stay the course and put the focus back on solving the problems at hand.

Namely, the Serpent and returning Dean and Sam's souls to them, as intact as I can make them.

[unbreakablelion]

Would it not make more sense to go straight for the Serpent? Behead the bastard thing and the rest will wither with it...

[dowhatimust]

[The General nods his head once, with appreciation. He is glad Gene has moved right onto planning.]

First we must find the Serpent, to behead it. The best way to do that is to find it's body, it's followers.

[ Comes with the territory of being a copper... ]

... Suppose that makes sense. That where the interior decorating with corpses comes in then?

[dowhatimust]

[He understands all about being a copper - or rather - a military commander.]

Yes. An object lesson. One we must teach the Serpent.

[unbreakablelion]

An' you can be 100% certain no innocent folk are getting mixed up in this, eh?

[dowhatimust]

I wish I could promise complete certainty -- but I am not my Father. I promise only this - I am doing everything in my power to prevent it.

[unbreakablelion]

As long as you realise that as soon as any innocents get involved I will 'ave to step in an' stop you...

[dowhatimust]

I understand, and I respect your decision. Even if I may have to stand against you for the good of all.

[unbreakablelion]

Well, I'm a copper, putting the innocent folk first is what I do.

[dowhatimust]

I am a General of Heaven. It is also my job, and my duty.

[unbreakablelion]

[ Rub it in, Cas, why don't you? With your awesome angel mojo and smiting powers. ]

Glad to hear that.

[dowhatimust]

[Why yes he will, Gene. Just not outloud. In his head, though, he totally is.]

Now - what can you tell me of your own investigations?

[unbreakablelion]

[ Yeah well... just wait until souls need guiding... Gene will totally out-guide you! ]

Me own investigations? Great big steaming pile of nothing. Except I seemed to've misjudged a lot of folk.

[dowhatimust]

[Well, that is ... useful. Especially for the right souls to the right places.]

I do not know what you mean?
