This is Major-General Olivier Armstrong. If you can ignore the bevy of Imports wasting our time with their age-changing frivolity, I have an announcement to make.

It's no secret that whatever their other feelings towards us, the natives of this world recognize that we Imports pose a threat to them. For how could we not? We have powers they can scarcely conceive of, let alone match. Even a single Import could outclass a regiment or more of this nation's army.

Therefore, I am hereby announcing the formation of RISE: the Rogue Import Suppression Enforcers. We Imports shall police and judge our own, apprehending those among us who would prey on the most vulnerable of this nation's native population and passing sentence as necessary.

Those among you who wish to lend your aid to the RISE mission are welcome. I await your questions.

[Passing sentence? Watching once-powerful men shiver in a cold sweat? How can he refuse such a lovely position of power? The things he could study if this went live.]

I offer my psychiatric expertise alongside my colleague's. For the same purposes; legal and medical.

Our differences in approach will be sure to match a greater number of the criminal whole, so to speak.

[darwinatrix]

These "differences"... elaborate.

[restingstitchface]

He's a Freudian. I'm a Jungian.

[Sorry. Psychiatric humor.]

Of course. It's more complicated - but that is how I would summarize it for the untrained.

Anyway. Our conceptions of the unconscious differ. We interpret behavior in a different way. Our views of the root cause of behavior differ. Put them together and you have a greater understanding of the criminal mind.

Unfortunately, some of your suspects will seek to claim the insanity defense, Major-General. They will slit their wrists and feign insanity. I have been asked to uncover such... tactics... in my world.

[darwinatrix]

Hm.

Say I give you a chance. What results can you promise me?

[restingstitchface]

The truth, of course.

You wouldn't want a devilish mind abusing the system and making a mockery of justice, would you? I couldn't think of anything more damaging, personally. My role involved giving an expert judgment on a felon's mental state. My work was well-respected by my world's judicial system.

[darwinatrix]

I'm intrigued.

And despite you and Doctor Chilton's differing methodologies, you would have no problem working alongside the good doctor?

[restingstitchface]

Of course not.

We're quite sympatico on a professional level.

[And another, deeper level. Hello, Frederick.]

[darwinatrix]

I'll give you a chance, then.

Though I don't intend to go out of my way to find mentally disturbed Imports just to test your skills, obviously.

[restingstitchface]

Of course.

I'd like you to focus on doing your job. I am already capable of doing mine.

[His skills don't need testing, how dare you.]

[darwinatrix]

Then it would seem we have little more to discuss, Doctor.
