[Hannibal stands centered in front of the camera, looking oddly calm and not disheveled in the slightest.]

I suppose I should make a proper introduction, and this seems the best way to do it although it's dreadfully impersonal.

I am Dr. Hannibal Lecter. I'm a psychiatrist, and was a physician for many years before my retirement from that field. However, if I've understood correctly we are facing some difficult times here, so I am happy to offer my medical services if needed. A shame about the rationing, too. Proper nutrition is essential, and there's nothing quite like a well-cooked meal.

But, regardless of the situation, I am very pleased to meet you all and I hope we can get to know each other better.

Yes, it is. You are at the peak of the point when psychiatry started being viewed less as a branch of philosophy and more as a science; I admit I would have liked to witness such a period in time.

Unfortunately, I've likely paid less attention to psychiatry than I should or I would be happy to regale you with stories. My own specialty lies in animal biology. [He's rather apologetic about that.]

I've studied biology as well. [Because he's studied pretty much everything.] Mostly human biology, though.

A fascinating subject, certainly. I've always favoured ovinology.

I'm afraid I haven't studied sheep all that much, unless you count cooking as study. [And sometimes that cooking was people instead of sheep but that's nitpicking.]

They do tend to be somewhat under-appreciated as scientific subjects, though of course their culinary merit is well-known. [He prefers fish, but can acknowledge that there's something ironic about a wolf tending sheep.]

And that reminds me, would you happen to know where the best markets are? It would be good to know, if the rationing lifts.

I believe that most of the grocery markets are found in the Water Sector, but the Wood Sector is where you'll find the fish market. Their stores are somewhat reduced now, but if the rationing lifts I'm sure you'll find them interesting.

I'm sure I will. Thank you for the information.

My pleasure, Doctor.
