Here is a demon. The demon is in his swimming pool.
He doesn't swim naked, so he takes the summon anyway.

They really don't have any other words they've used for non-evil-alien-people besides "filth creature", do they.
"I want you all to stop killing filth creatures," he says.
"We are all [untranslated adjective]!" wails one of the more hidden aliens. "The filth creatures will overrun us all and befoul all the inhabited planets and everyone will catch the filth contagion and be killed by the [untranslated plural noun]!"
"Please do not befoul us," says the spokes-alien. "Although the [same untranslated plural noun] will likely kill us anyway."
"[Untranslated adjective]! [Untranslated adjective]! We're [untranslated adjective]!"
"Shut up [profane intensifier]!" says another alien to the one who thinks they're all [untranslated adjective]. The adjective-wailer subsides.

"Those who have associated with filth creatures or crossed the filth doors catch the filth contagion," says the spokes-alien. "They [untranslated phrase] like filth creatures, and the [same untranslated plural noun] must kill them before the contagion can spread. This is why everyone in the armies that attack the filth creatures must [untranslated modifier] die before they enter the world-maze. If they returned and spread the contagion across the planet, the [same untranslated plural noun] would have to kill us all!"
"The end of the world!"
"Shut up [profane intensifier], [probably a name]!"
"The end of the world!"
"Shut up [profane intensifier], [probably a name]!"
"...They are filth creatures," says the spokes-alien. "I'm not an [untranslated noun]."
"If you were, you wouldn't be talking to a filth creature!" yells yet another alien.
"I would rather talk to a filth creature than die!" exclaims the spokes-alien. "Any who disagree are free to kill themselves!"

"Filth creatures would rather," (thank you spokesalien) "not be attacked."
"So would we!"
"We did attack them first."
"No we didn't! That was the army! I've never attacked a filth creature in my life!"
"We here have never attacked any filth creatures," says the spokesalien.
"We did attack them first."
"No we didn't! That was the army! I've never attacked a filth creature in my life!"
"We here have never attacked any filth creatures," says the spokesalien.
"We're going to die anyway!" wails the one who wails a lot. "The [same untranslated plural noun] will destroy the planet to stop the spread of filth!"
"Shut up [profane intensifier], [name]!"
"Nothing else has stopped this filth creature, why would destroying the planet even help?" someone wonders.
"Tell that to the [same untranslated plural noun]!"
"You tell them!"
The spokesalien has nothing more to add at this time.

"[Untranslated] is the opposite of filth," explains the spokesalien. After a bit of digital hemming and hawing, the computer renders its next sentence as: "The purity-keepers maintain purity so that no one is contaminated by filth. This is the most frightening colony planet, because of the filth contagion, but until today there had not been an incident in many thousands of years!"
"A contamination. An incident where someone [verb phrase] from the filth contagion and needed to be killed."
"[Untranslated sound]..." says the spokesalien, gesturing vaguely at Cam. It tries a few more phrasings, and the computer finally pieces together: "Grew wings. They had no wings, and then they grew them. Wings are a limb only filth creatures have. People have four limbs, but the filth creatures of this planet sometimes have six..."

Cam resists the temptation to wave his wings at them. "Why is it filthy to have wings?"
"Because only filth creatures and those with the filth contagion have them!" says the spokesalien.

Cam does not have the word for 'circular argument'. He makes a butterfly. "Is this a filth creature, too?"
"I don't know what that is!"

"It lived here when filth creatures did. It has wings." The butterfly bats them.
"I don't know what you mean," says the spokesalien.

Did they just kill all the butterflies? He didn't get a really close look at the vegetation, maybe it's all alien stuff, maybe they killed the whole biosphere. He flicks the butterfly away. It flies.
The spokesalien tries again: "It's filthy to have wings because wings are a sign of the contagion. People never had wings until they went near the filth creatures of this planet. People only grow wings because of the filth contagion."
