the watchful man is gone.
kurtzweil has stepped from between two apartments. he's staring at mulder, nodding furtively to him. then stepping back.
up on a fire escape, a man is moving. mulder can only see his feet and legs from this angle, but it is clear he has been watching mulder. upon being spotted, the figure slides away and disappears.
in the distance is an ice station. a row of interconnecting white dome tents, whose design is now familiar to us. there are what look like snow tractors and other snow vehicles parked alongside the structures.
it is dark in here, the features of the corridor ill-defined.
there on the floor, far down below, is the bubble litter scully was transported in. standing out as a rather human artifact against the otherwise dull gray bulwarks and architecture surrounding it.
