Operation PFFN Super Secret Video Correspondence: #4
Static screen blinks to life. Asher Henry appears in the camera shot, looking worse for wear. He rubs the back of his neck, sighs, and then squeezes the bridge of his nose before returning his attention to the camera.

Asher: *heavy sigh*So... here we are again. I know you weren’t expecting a message from me so soon, but it’s imperative we reach the archangel Gabriel as soon as possible. I’ve put out my bat signal, and he hasn’t answered.
Asher shifts uncomfortably in his seat.

Asher:As challenging as the guy can be, all of us care about what happens to him, and we really fucking need his help. So I’m really hoping his silence isn’t because something bad has happened.
Asher glances away, biting down on his lower lip as a flicker of concern flashes across his face. He stares in the distance for a beat before giving himself a shake and looking back at the camera.
Asher:If anyone has eyes or ears on the Messenger, please pass on a message of our own.
Asher stares imploringly into the camera.
Asher:Gabriel, if you are receiving our messages and choosing to ignore them out of some misplaced attempt not to get involved, it’s too late for that. You’ve been involved since day one.

Kingston:Perfect, you’re already recording. We need everyone to hear this.
Asher:What am I looking at?
Ben:Th-the ch-chalice is a p-person.
Asher:What are you talking about?
Caleb:The prophecy that Pan translated. “Lucifer shall possess the chalice” ...
Asher:Right, I’m with you now.
Caleb:Well, Panwas able to decipher more, and that’s when he realized that the chalice is not an object but a person.
Asher:Possession? Again? Fucking great.
Kai:Not like that. He’s after a child.
Asher:He’s going to possess a child?
Kai: *frustrated growl*What part of ‘not like that’ are you having trouble understanding? He doesn’t want to possess a child, you idjit. He wants to use one. Like a tool.
Caleb waves the piece of paper.
