we began to worry. some of us have traveled so far, and you are the last to arrive.
while we've been made to wait, we've watched surveillance tapes which have raised more concerns.
we've been forced to reassess our role in colonization by new facts of biology which have presented themselves.
a new extraterrestrial biological entity.
the geometry of mass infection presents certain conceptual re-evaluations for us. about our place in their colonization.
we're going to tell them what we've found. what we've learned. turn over a body infected with the gestating organism.
let me remind you who is the new race. and who is the old. what could be gained by withholding anything from them; by pretending to ignorance? our knowledge may forestall their plans to step up the timetable. to start colonization early.
cooperation is our only chance of saving ourselves.
we'll continue to use them as they do us. if only to play for more time, to continue work on our vaccine.
well, without a cure for the virus, we're nothing more than digestives anyway.
we've allowed this man his freedom. his books have actually helped us to facilitate plausible denial. has he outlived his usefulness to us?
and mulder?
this may take another approach.
you need not kill a man to destroy him.
