The end is near and approaching fast. It will be the conclusion of one man’s dream and life’s purpose. Once the X files are shut for good, its demise will bring about a new era.
Who if anyone will seek the truth and follow in the footsteps of those who worked there? Who will continue that mission?
Who will have the courage to seek the truth?
They will for as long as they can but there is only so much two people can do and they are both close to their own ends. Fighting for something the government doesn’t want known puts a person in a bad spot in more ways than one.

She nods her approval. “Until the end.”
