Whenever I need cheering up, there are certain authors and fics I always revisit. Kel is one of those writers and this is one of those fics

Yeah, I knew you'd get a kick out of this since the Gunmen play such a prominent role. Kel did a lot of research for this and it shows.
The bad guy, aka the Thorn, is the CEO for "Big Ed," the multinational under investigation. Deutsch, the man who was murdered by him, was a whistle-blower. The man who was in charge of the division investigating "Big Ed" also died at his hand. So yes, revenge is definitely the motive for the Thorn to learn shamanic ritual.
Kel's sense of humor matches up with mine. Her dialogue is unsurpassed. The best thing is that her Mulder and Scully are just as smart as they are on the series; in fact, her Scully is smarter because her knowledge of medicine reflects her training. Most writers can't manage that. I back-buttoned out of a casefile that was recced on Tumblr just the other day because the writer had Mulder make a factual error about the paranormal on the first damn page. She had Scully doing something dumb, too.
The artist is a professional, a fan of The X-Files and loved the story. She's very talented but I think what made the artwork so special is that she uses a loosely related shamanic ritual in the practice of her religion.
