[ 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?

[ Video - Karev ]

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

	No, no... all things considered, I think I'm doing pretty okay. [ Still gets his injections for the migraines, which was not the case in the future. ] But, uhm. If that changes, if what we saw yesterday really turns out to be a prediction... I wouldn't ask this if it wasn't important. [ Except he hasn't asked yet. He's working up to it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Karev's jaw tightens and you can see his posture straighten -- stiffen too.] Yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-11 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	I can't- stay here, if that happens. [ You get it, right? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2017-02-12 07:00 am UTC (link)
	And what are you asking me to do, exactly? [Spell it out so he knows for sure.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-12 10:00 am UTC (link)
	[ He draws a tense breath. ] This is a virtual environment. Things are different here, so what I'm asking isn't, ah... it's not as serious as it sounds. If you can, if you find a way... please disconnect me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He pauses for a long moment, rubs his face as he considers it.] So, put you back in stasis or whatever. I mean, it is the better of the two options. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-14 11:01 am UTC (link)
	That's what I'm thinking. Maybe these aren't our real bodies, but they are our real minds. That would, perhaps, limit the psychological damage. [ That and he's scared shitless of going through that without medical care. Even with medical care it's a daunting and terrifying future, but at least then something can be done. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2017-02-15 05:20 am UTC (link)
	[He mulls it over but finally, he makes a noise of agreement.] Alright. One condition, though. [...] You do the same for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-15 09:31 am UTC (link)
	Agreed. [ No hesitation. He was expecting this, would've probably offered even if Karev hadn't brought it up first. Nine months in and he has his first suicide pact. That's... something. ] Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2017-02-15 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	[Karev merely shrugs; not something he's thought too far into before so it still kind of feels weird. But he's in.] I'm assuming this is on the extreme downlow, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-19 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I think there's a good few people here who'd take it the wrong way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2017-02-19 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	[He chuckles.] It's just casual assisted suicide, after all. I got you man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-19 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	Right. No big deal. [ Heh. ] I appreciate it, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2017-02-20 05:24 am UTC (link)
	Keep in touch too, alright? For all this space age crap, there might be some way of combating mental health issues we don't know about. I'll catch you around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2017-02-20 12:06 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. We'll, uh. Grab a coffee or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2017-02-20 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [A nod suffices for a 'see you then', right?] (Reply to this) (Parent)
