How many members of our unit were still alive when the sixth season stopped? But two weeks of negotiations and they just left us there. No food, no medicine, no orders. In the end, only you and I and that guy who actually thought that having Mulder disappear for a whole season was a good idea walked out. I hear people think he's a myth now.

You know as well as I do, Niamh, that once you've been to the Valley of Fandom for a Program of Diminishing Quality, you never leave. You just learn to live there.
