[ charles is visibly distressed when he appears on the screen, this time. he's in what seems to be some underground facility, and there are other faces behind him—notably collette, emma, galadriel, raven, and others. his eyes remain closed for a second and you can hear him take a deep breath. then: ]

We have... borrowed a gentleman by the name of Richard Lawson...—from the United Earth. He is a cabinet member of the President's. Yes, the President of the United Earth. [ charles clears his throat, steels himself. ]

We've learnt a great many things about the United Earth from his head, and we feel it best to share that information with all of you, here on the Network.

[ charles states the next words with a heavy voice. ]

The President of the United Earth is not human. "He" is—artificial. Artificial Intelligence, or what you would call an A.I.. The United Earth... has never seen his face, as far as we have deduced.

We will try to answer questions about what we have learnt to the very best of our ability, but do be patient. Ah—[ he closes his eyes again, considering. then he nods as though he's made the right decision and he knows it. ]

That is all.

That's easily the most bigoted thing I've heard since I got here. I don't even want to know how you ever came to the conclusion that elves aren't people and that people can't do those things.

[Galadriel is someone Alice considers a friend already, Dean. Alice has a hard time making friends so this kind of ticks her off. In fact, something behind him might break as a warning while Alice is talking.]

[ganking]

[ see, breaking stuff with your mind, alice? not very human, is it? at least he has the decency to jerk back and twirl to see whatever's in pieces now.

he doesn't look too happy when he looks back at her. ]

What the hell? You did that?

[f_u_wesker]

[She's totally human!]

Consider it an insight to people with powers. My parents were regular humans and so is my daughter. They're people but by your logic I wouldn't be, would I?

[There's a slight pause and, since she isn't completely terrible a person...] I'll pay to replace that, don't worry.

[ganking]

[ oh. ] So then how the hell did you get some kinda freaky mojo skills?

[ he remembers sam drinking demon blood, changing and twisting until dean had been forced to think of him as a monster -- not human, and not a person.

He shakes his dead. ] It's whatever. Just...let's not blow up more shit.

[f_u_wesker]

It's a long story that involves an apocalypse.

[A zombie one.]

I promise that was a one time deal.

[She almost threw it at him but that wouldn't have been very good for the argument.]

[ganking]

[ oh. ]

Those at your end of the world, too, huh? Seem to be popular lately. [ and the apocalypse involved his brother's transformation, too, so he can almost understand. almost. ]

[f_u_wesker]

It's a pretty common theme, yeah.
