[Pristine is how Crane appears when he flicks on the video feed; it's a lovely display of smoke and mirrors that he's pulling off, after the events of the last three days. He has a clean, elegant, ascetic appearance - and enough calm professionalism to mask his excitement.]
You're all handling this outbreak remarkably well. It seems you're all keeping to the boundaries of the law, as the Major-General expects you to. That's a good thing, mind. It would be terrible news to hear people have been shot for breaking quarantine.
Anyway, I am here to help if this event has caused you psychological distress. I am a doctor, after all.
[A pause, and he tucks in his chin and folds his hands in his lap. He half-closes his eyes.]
Fears and phobias are my specialty, and there is much to fear in this situation.
[His head comes back up. He's staring at the lens.]
Be that as it may, fear is something everybody needs. It keeps you safe and keeps you on your toes. It will do you all well to remember that. That it's good to know we must always feel a little scared. It's good to see that most of you haven't submitted to bravado and dagger-tongued bragging.
[The corners of his lips lift in a boyish smile. He tilts his head slightly. His voice is disarmingly gentle. His soft inflection on 'most of you' is meant for one person in particular.]
And I wouldn't like to think that those with guts would put everyone in danger. I trust everyone to make the best decisions for each other in combating this disease.
It would be terrifying to think we couldn't trust each other. Wouldn't it?
[He crosses his right leg and rests his hands over his knee. His graceful fingers smooth his trousers, and he waits for his audience to speak.]

[She doesn't even have to think about it.]
That doesn't mean I look forward to it happening. Or that I wouldn't mind if I died for a foolish reason.

[He pauses for a deep breath.]
Do you find it curious, then? To learn what happens at the end? I suppose it's a mystery to solve...

Faith doesn't prove anything. Those who wait for a sign from the Lord may as well just stare at the sky.

I assure you, the Templar Order is doing anything but sitting and waiting.

[Notice the complete absence of sarcasm in that statement.]

[Well. She isn't at the moment, since she's here, but still.]

[He's mildly curious.]
Re: video;
Are you serious? I feel that you're mad if you believe he is.

Oh, whether I believe this figure is the Devil doesn't matter, I'm afraid. There are plenty in our community who are certain of it. And isn't the Devil's greatest trick to convince us he doesn't exist? Food for thought.
