[It's just before lockdown ends in the morning that John sends out his message. He knows it's going to invite criticism, ire, possibly screaming at him some more. But people deserve to know what's happening.]

Good morning, everyone. I don't know where everyone is, but I wanted to say thank you for those who've been helping to put up messages around town for the anomalies. We'll be reaching the power plant this morning. We have a good team with us and we've made some preliminary plans about how to trap specific anomalies, as needed, and how to talk to the ones who might be willing to help us. We're keeping things flexible in the event some are there that we haven't planned for or what have you.

I know some of you don't approve of this. I know some of you think I'm a monster for helping to organize this. That's all right. I'm taking responsibility for what happens today. The people who are helping haven't been forced, but I am directing them. Any failure, any lives lost, injuries sustained, those are on me. We'll provide an update at the end of the day when it's done.

Godspeed to everyone in the Bunker. We're counting on you. To everyone else scattered to the winds, hold fast. We'll make it through this. Keep safe and keep warm.

Sounds good.

[Oh hey, that's a smile. Feels good to see that, so Flynn tries to give him one in return.]

Strangely enough... yes. It's weird, but battling monsters while facing impossible odds is a lot more familiar to me than trekking post-apocalyptic wastelands or making sense of this place.

Tell me about it. [John huffs a sigh.] I mean, not monsters. But we get the human sort where I'm from. Much easier to deal with than all the rest of this.

[Then again, Flynn's seen what's in John's nightmares. So. In any case.]

I think all of us are going to feel a little more ourselves when this is all said and done, yeah?

I know what you mean. Feels more concrete than having your mind or your memories messed with, too.

[Like for example when you go into other people's nightmares and... yeah.]

... And not gonna lie, it just feels really good to plan something instead of just reacting to whatever the town is throwing at us.

I guess so. I'll definitely sleep better when I know Mycroft's anomaly isn't roaming the streets anymore. And that my own stops wildly murdering people left and right.

[Being proactive certainly has something to do with John liking this action. He hates that Gabriel wasn't entirely wrong when he'd pointed out that John needs something to be doing. He's spent so much time here just having things done to him. This is something he needs. It's something he suspects several of the people coming here need. This has to be a 'win' for them.]

I wouldn't mind having my own out of the way. Castiel didn't seem to think he knew what he was doing, but that really just makes it worse. You can't reason with someone if they don't recognize the danger.

What is yours like?

[There's a pause and then he pulls a bit of a face.]

Maybe we can find a better way of referring to them. I don't like thinking of them as 'ours'. Or that they're anything like us.

Burning. Or melting. He said it had giant hands and it was looking to just be near people. Probably lonely.

[Which is. Awkward.]

Oh.

[Yeah, that's... yeah.

Would be a shame if someone made it more awkward.]

Do you think the way they're behaving, uh.

Do you think it's reflecting on us in any way? Like...

I don't know. Saying something about us?

No!

Um... no. Miller did something... weird to them. That's all.
