[Things have settled down. Between experiments, amusement parks, abductions and drafts, this is the first nice calm stretch of time he's had in a while. So Mulder's hanging out in the Battle Dome. He's been coming there a lot more lately. The new features interest him, and there are places from home he can't help revisiting. Not always to fight, since it's no longer required, though he throws those scenarios in sometimes too. But mostly he's in there obsessively going back through particular scenes.]
[At the moment, Mulder can be seen sitting in the living room where Samantha disappeared from. The board game Stratego is still set up in place near him, the game left unfinished. It's exactly as the room looked all those years ago. A blinding bright light flashes somewhere in the background.]
I wonder what determines the point in time we're taken from? It appears entirely random from all that I've encountered so far. Almost like someone's throwing darts at a timeline or choosing those times out of a hat. A really ugly hat. I also wonder... why some people are brought here after death. [Jonathan. Gem. ...Sigh.] It doesn't seem fair, to grant someone a new life only to throw them back eventually anyway.
...speaking of that, I've been curious about something for a while. [And needing to expand his files, he's already delved into kidnappings, revival has always been somewhere on his list too.] If anyone who's died before, either here or at home, wouldn't mind indulging me for a couple of questions? I won't ask how it happened or anything, just... some related details on the topic. Thanks in advance.

If you don't mind, Giles. I promise, I'm not out to make people relive their worst nightmares... but I'm interested in how their revivals work. You had just the one uh, incident here, right?
Re: [Voice - Locked 100%]
...
...]
Two incidents.
[Buffy knows. What does it matter?]
[Voice - Locked 100%]
[It's not like he's planning to let this information ever be known, at least, beyond compiling some basic facts from it.]
Re: [Voice - Locked 100%]
[Buffy knows. What the hell does it matter? And if Mulder can do something useful with this information...]
[Voice - Locked 100%]
Did that happen... immediately prior to your arrival here?
Re: [Voice - Locked 100%]
[...okay, doesn't mean he can' be sarcastic.]
Yes, it did. Well, it's the last thing I remember.
[Voice - Locked 100%]
After you came to here, would you say you still felt like the same person overall? Did anything seem off? I mean... besides the typical New Feather experiences.

[He can guess some of these answers, but for the sake of investigation and getting an official record of things, he wants to make absolutely certain.]
