[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.

...We've created a monster.

Absolutely terrifying. But maybe a bite to eat will help my thought process.

...Just what I was thinking. Fancy a meet-up?

I would, if you'd be up for it. And if you don't mind me pestering you with questions.

...Would these questions continue to be food-based?

They could be. [Ha laughs.] If I'm taking a real break from the research, I'd better make myself stick to it. See you there in a few?

...Seventh Heaven? I'll be there.

I'll be by in a few.

[Closing the journal now to head over.]

I'll be by in fewer.

[ and she also heads out. ]

[Mulder heads in and glances around for a good seat- or to see if she's already beat him there.]

[ she waves casually from a booth. yep. already here. ]

[Mulder heads over.]

You're pretty quick for someone who doesn't teleport.

I was in the area. It's a small kinda place.

That's one thing I don't miss from home, being caught up in a traffic jam. [He takes a seat, settling in.] So, how have things been?

...Things've been okay. [ actually recently? they've been awful. but then they got a little better. ] Holding fast.

How're you?

Getting by, as much as it's possible around here. If the place didn't come with a side order of constant disappearances, I'd be right at home.

[Which is fast becoming his attitude about the place. Love/Hate.]

...Complete with the scheduled wars?

Ok, maybe we could do without those, too. Especially when they don't seem to be getting us anywhere...

We're spinning our wheels.

Pretty much. [He leans back.] Though that doesn't stop them from sending us back. They're determined and persistent, I'll give them that. Competent? Well... that part's debatable.

It's hard to tell from down here. We can't see what they're up to -- but when we invaded the kidnap lab, there were definite signs of outside controversy.

I got that impression from what I was told about it. Even then, there's still so much we don't know.

[He is so volunteering, the next time there's a chance for something like that, he's decided.]

...Is that why you're asking about dead people?

Pretty much, yeah. I'm trying to gather as much information as I can about their work.

...Getting much of a response from the unlifers?
