How kind of our captors to provide us with comfortable living arrangements. Granted, I'm being made to live with a complete stranger, but I suppose beggars can't be choosers. I can only hope for the best.

Now then, Commander... your dutiful investigator mentioned something about a job at the police station. What more can you tell me about it?

I have a discretionary budget, and a very small amount of very deeply weird crime to throw resources at. If I hired you for a forensics job, you tell me what you'd do to help solve crimes, and I'll tell you whether or not you're hired.

With all due respect, Commander, I was just in a traveling police box. I've had enough "weirdness" for a while.

Yes, Naoto had mentioned you were in search of a forensics analyst or criminal psychologist. While I'm afraid I am neither, what I am is a psychic. And an agent. There is no need for me to study what goes on in the mind of a criminal when I can see it for myself.

I'm not sure what sort of crime occurs on this island, but perhaps studying the minds of criminals we've apprehended will help us prevent similar incidents in the future?

I can think of one or two whose heads definitely need examination. All right. I'll stick together a one month consulting contract, and we'll see how it goes. Part time, standard public service starting wage and benefits; plus full access to the cop shop lab.

AS I am woefully under-qualified for this position when compared with a psychic, you can take a portion of my stipend.

[goodtaste]

Oh, no. Please, don't trouble yourself. You've already put in far more time and effort at the station than I could hope to. Besides, money is not my chief concern.

[expositional]

If you're sure.

[goodtaste]

I'm positive.

No, he can't. Doesn't work that way on my budget. Nobody doubts you earn your paycheck, Shirogane. And the jackass usually forgets to charge us anything. I've definitely got enough slack in the budget for this guy.

Well, given my previous reality probably no longer exists, I can certainly think of worse ways we could be treated. Small blessings, I suppose.
