"No," Spencer agrees, "the majority of the work involved will be making sure the buildings are livable, expanding the wall, and extending water and electricity lines out there. We will need more constant surveillance while there's a gap opened up in the wall, though."
Which means a lot of engineering work, which means he's going to busy. He kind of likes keeping busy, though -- it gives him less time to dwell on things he doesn't want to think about.
He's told having friends is good for that, too, but Spencer hasn't had a whole lot of success at that. Like, ever.

"Have you had lunch yet?" he asks, oblivious for now to Daryl's impending question. "I don't normally eat with everyone-- all the chewing sounds make me want to die, honestly, so I take my food somewhere else." Reid fidgets briefly. This is how friends are made, he tells himself. "Would you like to join me?"
