Agent Mulder - I understand that you have more than just a proprietary interest in these cases, but I can't help it if you're not assigned to this unit anymore. ..I didn't see any reason to pursue this oil worker case.
Oh, well maybe you missed the fact this worker's corpse washed ashore at Port Aransas, Texas - Massive flash burns on 90% of his body.
I read the report, Agent Mulder, if you're insinuating I didn't.
Then you must also know that this man was not the only man to disappear from the Galpex-Orpheus platform that night, but one of two men; The communications officer is also missing.

(slightly bemused) And you'd love to help, but you left your lightsaber at home.
