[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, ( Read more... )

And just what do you intend to do with this information?

It's just a point of curiosity for me. There are so many mysteries to uncover about this place.

[Just the nice standard answer. He takes a moment to throw a filter on for the rest. He's sure that They might know what he's up to, but he may as well be cautious.]

[Filtered; 100%]

That, and I'm storing files on it, in hopes that it'll give some insight into how things really operate around here. It's all confidential, of course. I'm not attaching names to sensitive information.

[The admiral can just about stand to use these journals at all - he has no skill with filters, and no care for them either.]

A noble effort, surely, but what recommends you above any of the others who have struggled and failed to glean the inner workings of this place?

[He'll just be throwing it back on at random soon enough if his paranoia level gets too high. Just wait.]

I'm not the only one trying to find those answers, but... I'd say we all go about seeking things in our own way. This just happens to be my method. Investigations like this are my life's work, back home.

[Conspicuously absent from that statement is the claim to having discovered meaningful conclusions. Any man may claim a life of investigation.]

Indeed. A worthy cause I'm sure.

[Which... is a mixed bag, back home, sometimes he gets answers, sometimes he ends up with more questions than he'd started with. Luceti of course has proved to be more of the latter.]

...It beats sitting around throwing pencils at the ceiling all day.

[...He's kidding, promise.]

Finding the truth is more than just some 'worthy cause', it's essential and I've devoted my life to uncovering it. Even here. Maybe more so here.

[A pause. He may fight it all he wants, but in the end he cannot deny the value of information - nor the value of a man who seeks answers.]

Then I believe that I may be of some interest to you. When I first arrived on Luceti's shores, my most recent memory was of being mortally wounded. I can only surmise that I must surely have died, and yet here I am.

[One of those brought here from bad timing then. He's noting things.]

This may be a strange thing to ask about, but do you have any memories of anything happening at all between dying and... waking up here? Even if it's something vague.

I am afraid I cannot tell. I have what I have believed were memories, but they are few and distant. The more that I think on them, the more that I fear I may have invented them.

It's only natural for the mind to try and fill in the blanks at times like that. Still, there could be something to it. [Oh, for a hypnotist! Mulder has a feeling there could be so many fascinating repressed memories to be gained about all the things the Malnosso do in their labs...]

...What about when you woke up here, do you recall anything unusual about that experience?

My last memory in which I was certain of my life, I was at sea. It is peculiar, therefore, that my first memory in this place is of awakening on a beach. I had thought for some time that these two facts were connected, but I have since been given cause to wonder about even that.

Yeah, it's hard to make out what's random coincidence around here and what's deliberate... especially given the effects of many of their experiments.

Nothing is missing or wrong, either mentally or physically, correct?

[Well, there's the fact that he should be dead and isn't. In his mind that counts as an absence. Oh, and also:]

I had been stabbed before I awoke here. When I arrived on the beach, however, there was no sign of the injury. I was perfectly healthy -- if a little damp.

Perfectly fine in one piece... ok, good. That's the detail I was hoping to hear. Though no one's experience so far gives any clue as to how they make this happen.

Magic.

[He says, balefully. He is not against the stuff in principal -- they had made good use of it during the draft. To think that it had been practiced on him, though? And without his consent?]

[Oh, that tone. Mulder knows that tone, he works closely with it on a regular basis.]

Do you have something against magic?
