****

You're remarkably patient, Mr. Mulder, feigning interest in
those sharks while stewing in my betrayal.  Had I never
experienced your youthful righteousness myself, I might think
you a fool.

No, you're no fool: smarter than many of my colleagues give you
credit for, certainly smarter than your father.  Oh, they know
you're insightful, relentless, but some also believe you're weak
like he was... *is*.

Your presence here proves they're mistaken.

There's far more for you to learn before you can expose the
truth, Mr. Mulder.  Some secrets, though, are too cataclysmic to
ever be revealed.  You must trust me on this, as I trust you
with my knowledge.  My colleagues can still hear you; tread
carefully or your life -- and the truth's release -- will end
with a whimper of sudden but unremarkable death.  Or they'll
kill Scully: distraction by tragedy.  Both of you must exercise
extreme prudence now, without diminishing your resolve.

As must I.
