5% [visual | location: Kaylee's bunk aboard the Serenity]

A terrified looking Kaylee appears on your tablet screens, her hair a mess and her face like she's just seen a ghost. She's clutching a shirt to her naked chest.

"I-I-I think there's some kind of problem here. T-This is Spencer Reid, but I seem to have... woken up in this female body. I-I don't understand..."

He runs a hand through his - or Kaylee's, rather - hair, appearing as though he's about to have some sort of panic attack or worse.

"I just.. I'm trying to get out of here - I don't even know where 'here' is, actually - a-and I need to get dressed because um.. apparently this woman doesn't sleep in much. But, I found some clothes and I'm trying to put them on, but I can't... I can't..."

Now Spencer-as-Kaylee's face is bright red as he stares down at the floor, mortified to ask the question he's about to ask.

"H-How do you put on a bra?"

It finally hit Spencer exactly how that had come out.

"W-What?? No! I just.. I.. uh.. I mean..."

He was quite beside himself with embarrassment.

Giggling, Kate decided to cut Reid some slack.

"Reid, I'm joking. That was too easy. That said, I really don't think Kaylee will mind if you don't put a bra on. Just throw on a T-shirt and call it a day."

Spencer bit his lip.

"Ok..."

He moved away from the tablet and slipped the shirt on, then sat back in front of it.

"Kaylee... that's this woman's name?"

Kate nodded.

"Yep, Kaylee. She's really sweet. You haven't met her?"

She sat up as a thought occurred to her.

"If you're there, do you think she's here?"

"I can't be 100% certain, but it would logically follow that if I am here, she is there...."

"Well, I mean, it would logically follow that you can't just swap bodies with someone else, but logic is a subjective thing around here."

She paused, taking in Spencer's tone and mannerisms. He was clearly panicking, and she felt she needed to do something.

"Want me to meet you somewhere?"

"Well, yes..."

Spencer ran a hand through his hair. He was completely out of sorts.

"Uh.. well I can come back to the apartment.. if I can figure out where I am..."

"Bring Kaylee's tablet with you. That should be able to get you back here."

She looked behind him, trying to determine his location.

"If you can get out of there, first."

Then she laughed.

"Um, Reid... you should probably find some pants to put on as well."

Spencer sheepishly looked down at his legs clad in a pair of lacy panties, then reached for the closest pair of pants he could find.

"Let me see..."

He switched the tablet to the map view and saw that he was somewhere in the central district. He was a 10 minute tram ride away from the apartment.

"Alright... I've determined where I'm located."

"Good. I'll see you when you get here."

She suddenly wished Reid had his gun.

"Be careful."

Careful of what, Spencer wasn't exactly sure, but after 15 minutes on the tram he was standing outside of his own apartment, sighing as he knocked on the door.

Kate threw the door open, grabbed Spencer - Kaylee's - arm and tugged him inside.

"Are you okay?"

Spencer was startled as Beckett pulled him inside.

"I'm fine. Other than the fact that I'm someone else entirely."

Why did Beckett look so worried?

Once Kate had Reid in the apartment, she relaxed a bit. She'd been a little nervous about Reid traveling the city as a scantily dressed attractive woman, but she chastised herself for being irrational. She was sure Reid could handle himself. Still, she was glad he was back at the apartment.

"Have you talked to Kaylee? Is she you?"

Spencer sighed, relieved that he was back in his own apartment. He went immediately for the coffee machine, only to find that he didn't want any coffee. He was actually in the mood for... tea?

"Yes, she is."

Kate followed Reid into the kitchen, frowning when she saw him get the tea out. Tea, seriously?

"Where is she? I checked your room, but no one was there."

Spencer set the teapot to boil and pulled out his desired teabag.

"I think she slipped out to go back to her ship..."

"Oh..."

Kate poured herself a cup of coffee, still looking at Spencer and his tea curiously.

"Ship? What ship?"

"She lives on some sort of docked outer space aircraft."

It occurred to Spencer that he was standing in his kitchen - a kitchen that wasn't really his kitchen - drinking tea in a woman's body while discussing alien spacecraft with a woman he had met only about a month ago - who also lived with him, by the way. The fact that the most abnormal thing about this situation was that he was in a woman's body should serve to show how much he'd been through over the past two months.

"I believe she knows the man who looks like your writer friend."

"Kaylee lives on a ranch. It's her parents' place, I think. I don't know anything about a ship."

Kate shrugged. So there was a spaceship in Taxon. It wasn't the weirdest thing she'd seen so far.

"That guy has an eerie resemblance to Castle..."
