they're better than that, they like to explore more extreme possibilities.

Summary: Mulder's thoughts after the events of "Existence" and before "Nothing
Important Happened Today".

-----

I'm back.
I'm back from the dead.
I'm back from the dead after three months in the ground.
I'm in perfect health.
I'm in perfect health despite the blades and the drills.
I'm in perfect health after being dead.
The aliens abducted me.
I became an X-File.
I'm not the same man I was before the abduction.
I've changed.
I can't put my finger on it, but I don't feel like me.
They changed me.
Billy Miles recovered, just as I have.
Billy Miles is a Super Soldier.
In perfect health.
Perfect health after being found dead.
He was abducted same time and place as me.
The same drills and blades.
It dawns on me.
I get it now.
I'm a Super Soldier. I'm no longer human.
That's what the aliens did to me.
John Doggett is right to suggest that the same thing happened to me that happened to
Billy Miles. I just didn't see it myself when he made that assumption and shot down his
comment like it was nothing.
The government created Super Soldiers.
Knowle Rohrer, Shannon McMahon, Gene Crane.
Perhaps Scully's baby is one too.
She wasn't supposed to be able to conceive a child.
It's all too suspicious.
Why did the aliens make Super Soldiers out of the abductees?
To fight the government-made Super Soldiers?
We are on the verge of war with the aliens, and I am a foot soldier for them.
I must leave here before I can hurt the ones I love.
