[ VIDEO - FILTERED AWAY FROM JACK HARKNESS, IANTO JONES, KITTY PRYDE THE OLDER ]

[ Reid has spent some time carefully setting up the encryption, knowing fully well that his attempts to keep this discussion away from from the people that might take it the wrong way may result in them taking it the wrong way, should they ever find out. This is the best way he can think of to discuss this though, as a community and after yesterdays events he feels a stronger need to rally than ever before.

He's in full on Serious Mode when he clicks on the feed, voice even and confident, perhaps more so than most are used to seeing him. ]

Good afternoon. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Spencer Reid. I'm a member of the Behaviour Analysis Unit of the FBI back home — law enforcement. I used to be part of the Investigative Team- [ Pretty much co-founded it back on day 150. ] - but quit the Force some time ago... and that leads us to what I want to discuss.

As some of you might know, the Defence Force has been controversial for longer than we've been in this prison. I feel, and I doubt I'm alone in this feeling, that it has outgrown its original purpose. There aren't that many of us left, certainly not enough to warrant an internal police force like this. Concerns have been brought up in the past that the Force acts without taking into account the wishes of the rest of the population, with regards to escape plans as well as punishments of our fellow inmates.

This is why I'm addressing you — I want to hear your opinions on the current state of the Defence Force. What is your impression? And, in a broader sense, what do you feel we as a community should do to better protect and care for each other?

Oh, and - please be discreet. I'm not looking to cause trouble with the current leaders of the Force, but I also don't wish to provoke them with this discussion. For the time being, please keep this between us.

Chekov - a word?

Hey, uhm... Alex? Can I talk to you?

	I was involved! I became a member on my fourth day here, Ton! Do you honestly think I would've quit for good if I thought that my suggestions would've been heard? Have you actually tried to bring your concerns to either Jack or Kitty? Why do you think I've filtered this away from them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wouldn't call mine concerns. Also as you may have noticed I mostly just sort of do what I want in the end. [A smile to try and break up some of the tension.] Would you like me to bring some of this up with her? I won't even say it's from you if that would help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. No, I'll talk to her. Mostly I wanted to find out if I was the only one who saw a problem here before I brought it up to her. [ And judging from the response... well, most people seem to not give a shit. ] Can I ask you something? Why are you a member of the Defence Force? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because I like working in a team. You get more done, you make the impossible ideas possible, and generally do a better job than one person trying to keep this whole place safe alone or everyone looking out for each other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-07 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	And with that in mind, do you think the Defence Force is successful? Even if you don't think about these things or bother with having concerns. [ Or do things your own way regardless, apparently. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2017-02-07 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	By normal standards? No. Based on the resources we have here, the limited information and the general craziness of this place? Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright. Thank you for your input. [ He doesn't agree but if people in general are happy with the way things are, who's he to do anything about it? ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
