Hi. I'm... Dr. Spencer Reid. At home, I work with the FBI as a behavioral analyst, or profiler. I'm trying to figure out what to... do with myself here.
[ Reid is a thin, young-looking man with too-wide eyes and nearly shoulder-length unkempt hair. That combined with the cardigan, tie, and lightly patterned button-up makes him look extremely dated. It's not hard to believe him as a federal employee by clothes alone, although his age is constantly remarked upon.
He doesn't sound uncertain about addressing the wider audience of the network-- although he is, and especially about using technology this way-- but he does sound like he's choosing his words with care, enunciating clearly and with even, unhurried pacing. ]
If there's anyone that currently works for the local police, I'd like to speak with you regarding whether you think there's a use for my skills in that environment. I have done field work, but I wouldn't say it's my strong suit. Otherwise I'm considering taking up teaching at the university. I've been a TA for undergraduate classes before, although I think I'm better suited to leading graduate-level seminars. If anyone currently takes classes there, it would be helpful to hear about your experiences.
... I also noticed they're looking for librarians at the public library. Uh. I don't think that alone would keep me... sufficiently occupied, but. I could do it.
I'd like to optimize my time here by putting my skills wherever they're most needed. So I'm open to other suggestions. And-- looking for a physical therapist. And possibly an orthopedist. Thank you.
[ It cuts off abruptly. Reid can do public speaking, but it's far from his favorite past time. ]

The Behavioral Analysis Unit provides support to all levels of law enforcement across the United States on cases they don't feel equipped to handle with their resources alone. Typically the cases we work include serial murders, sexual assaults, abductions, and anything else requiring a time-sensitive response or where locals have hit a wall on leads.
The techniques we employ include victimology, psychology, statistics, and geographic profiling, along with more standard law enforcement techniques such as crime scene analysis. We compose a profile, a list of the offender's likely characteristics, and present it to the local police to assist in their investigation. We also provide on-the-ground support with interviewing persons of interest to the investigation and responding to crises.
It's... more or less, whatever's called for on the case.

[he should probably explain, right?]
My dad's the local sheriff. He taught me how to murder board.
no subject
We still use those. Have you had to put it into practice?
[ He asks this casually, but it's basically Reid automatically fishing for any implications of crimes that the BAU should be aware of. It's hardly relevant here, but that's going to be a hard habit to break. ]

Is this place really as crime-free as the advertising materials made it seem? [ He's seriously been wondering. ]
no subject
I got no clue. I just got here the other day myself.
no subject
Yeah. I'm skeptical, but if they're selecting for compliance with the city mission, they might be able to manage it.

There's no reason we can't do multiple wishes while we're here, right? I'll keep my expectations more reasonable for now.
[ Although he already feels like his first stated wish is an insane long shot, the sort of miracle religious people pray for without hope. ]

What's enforcing this contract? Do we know?
[ He's, uh, difficult. ]
