[The communicator is set a certain distance away, revealing Jocelyn in her wheelchair, hands folded in her lap.]

Hello. For those I haven't met, I'm Dr. Jocelyn Xavier, and I've something of an offer.

Before I arrived here, I worked with traumatised people – those who experienced war, torture, abduction, abuse. I helped them come to terms with their pain and work through it.

[She leans forward slightly, speaking intently.]

There is no shame in needing help. Goodness knows I've needed it myself.

[As she settles back...]

I thought there may be others among us who did as well, so I thought I would offer. I've doctorates in psychology and psychiatry, and several years of practical experience.

[The slightest hesitation, ingrained and instinctive.]

In the interest of full disclosure, I am a telepath. I do not, however, like to probe minds without permission. Whether you would like it to be part of your sessions is entirely up to your discretion.

I find it disturbing that such a thing would need to be stated.

[There's a moment's pause before she realizes that this might need clarifying.]

Ah - that you do not enter another's mind without permission.

I very well could, if I didn't have scruples. I like to assure people that I do. [Granted, they can be flexible scruples.]

I believe terming that sort of violation "unscrupulous" is a drastic understatement.
