[Brainy has the poker face to end all poker faces, so he sits in his floaty chair and watches it all without comment or much change in expression. The way his eyes occasionally flash a little wider or narrow in thought, and the occasional tweak of an eyebrow, are the only things that register that he's just...processing it all.]

[And also calculating risk. Thinking about possible outcomes.]

This provides some context, but not enough to truly illuminate his motivations and whether or not he's dedicated to changing.

[He looks thoughtful.]

Short of trying to make presumptions based on micro-expressions, we only have his word and actions.

[Which isn't much, for someone like him.]

My assessment -- which certainly isn't the only one we'll take into account -- is that with therapeutic intervention, and careful guidance, we may be able to direct him in ways that are helpful to our cause.

[He leans his elbows on the arms of his chair and steeples his fingers.]

With the caveat that dangerous or hostile behavior would lead to dismissal from the team and possible legal consequence.

[A pause.]

Although I do have a question: due to your position in the military and his status as a criminal, do you have any sort of legal mandate in your universe that would typically require you take him into custody?
