[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.

[And there was all that enemy ship hijacking to be done.]
[voice]
[A necessary distinction as far as he is concerned.]
Might I ask which ship you were stationed on?

[For a moment it seems as though this is all that he is going to say in his disapproving tone. Norrington had set out on that voyage with the desire to protect the people of Luceti, to prevent the Malnosso from taking so much as a single Lucetian life. Jack's ludicrous operation, for all of its successes, endangered far too many men and women - and Jack himself besides. Never mind there there were no fatalities as a result of that wreck. Never mind that the one person who did die was nowhere near the pirate at the time.]
You were involved in the capture of the enemy vessel.

[Mulder is pretty used to Disapproving Tones, and has a tendency to ignore them. Norrington is reminding him strongly of Skinner right now...]
I know Sparrow's methods may not be the most... conventional, but you have to think outside the box if you want to get by. Especially when it comes to anything involving the Malnosso or that Third Party.

[The admiral replies, his voice taking on a steel edge. He had contacted Mulder as a means to answer a question that Fox himself had posed. James had answered a number of private questions, questions which even now he hoped would be kept in the strictest confidence, and now somehow his command was on the verge of being questioned. Furthermore, as far as he is concerned, Jack had only been able to attempt to capture of the enemy vessel because Norrington had permitted it. Because Norrington had thought outside the box.]

I suppose we got ourselves a little sidetracked.
