How can I cut straight to burning the body?
First, thanks to those who helped me out yesterday. Armed with the knowledge of how to get into the demon database, my second shift was a complete success by comparison. I was certain of the demon's name halfway into embalming the second body. All that remained was to figure out which vessel.

I was pretty sure it wasn't the first or second, and sure enough I was convinced it was the third body seconds after wheeling it out. I grabbed the mark I'd prepared, put it in place, and... couldn't use the gurney. In fact, I couldn't use the gurney again until I'd finished embalming the body completely. I tried after each successful step to see if the key press was available to use the gurney, and it wasn't until after I'd finished the final step. And I had to remove the mark to continue with the embalming!

I was afraid the whole time I was about to lose, and frankly the increasingly crazy hauntings and what not were just irritating and annoying when I just wanted to burn the body. So, as the subject line asks, how can I cut straight to burning the body once I'm sure?

You need to do the embalming of the body you want to burn, only then does it contain the reagent that the tapes/database tell you is needed for binding the demon to its correct mark .

Otherwise it can avoid being burned

That's a good point. If I'd had my way, I'd have jumped the gun and burned it without that special "baleful liquid" or whatever it's called. But I guess I thought I could short circuit the process. Oh well.
