--Mulder, it's me. I didn't think you'd have any trouble seeing through the pseudonym but it'll give another bit of security to this email link, though I'm sure it's already secure.
Anyway, I wanted to confirm - though you'd probably guessed by now - that they bought my presentation. Skinner may suspect, but he's in no position to press anything right now. As far as the Bureau is concerned, you're dead, I'm dying, and I've completely repudiated any connection with you and the X-Files. We took a big gamble in hoping that my credibility was still sound after four years on this assignment, but it paid off (now I'll bet you're glad I've always insisted on my scientific detachment). It was one of the hardest things I've ever done and I must have done it well. Too bad you couldn't be there to see it.
You're now free to operate undercover and off the book, and I'm sure I know some of the things you'll be looking for. I expect to be offered an honorable discharge, but don't worry, I mean to stay here as long as I'm physically able. I hate leaving work undone, and there's so much we still need to see through, especially as regards the Manson case. Time may be shorter than we thought, and I'm not talking about my own prognosis. Manson's new video is being shown on MTV now and it's even more ominous than you suspected - a clear warning that he believes his life is in imminent danger. (Whoever sent you that untraceable e-mail about it understated the Christ symbolism considerably.) Wherther or not he knows who's closing in on him, he's calling for help, I'm certain of it.
He's clearly feeling pressed from all sides. The recent announcement about the finalization of plans for a single European currency will stir up the end-times theorists again and the Southern Baptists' anti-Disney move will probably start a morals debate - they're all looking for an Antichrist to blame. Plus the Roswell anniversary has all the media digging for a new angle on alien-human interaction, and we still don't know exactly why Frank Black's people and Bronfman's cabal are watching Manson so closely. (And, of course, there's always the possibility of a lone obsessive, though I know how you feel about that theory.) I gather the crowd violence level at recent performances has been unexpectedly high, and I don't believe that's just a display of teenaged high spirits. Langly has been our mole at these shows, and he FAXed me a series of photos (I'm sending them along as .jpgs). I'd say they definitely suggest the violent incidents and "technical difficulties" were deliberately caused, both to keep discord high around the band and to cover possible attempts on Manson's life. Let me know what you think once you've seen these.
I know you set out to shadow the band the moment you dropped out of
sight so I'm assuming you're in proximity to them now. Mulder, I
*strongly advise* that if at all possible you do not let Manson out of
your sight until the 8th of July. I'm attaching an encrypted message I
rec'd yesterday at my desk address. Not only may there be enemy agents
planted at these "Ozzfest" shows, but this shows that an attempt is
going to be made to draw Manson to Roswell for the 50th Anniversary
festivities there, probably with a promise of information about his
hidden family history and alien genetic structure. I'm sure he'll
suspect something, but he may not be able to resist the lure, and if he
goes he'll surely be in mortal danger. (There, now you have a legitimate
excuse to be there. Enjoy yourself. I'll expect a postcard.) --I wish
we knew how much he knows, and what he believes, especially about his
psychic abilities. Does he think he acquired them through his
extraterrestrial lineage or his supernatural mission? How serious is he
about the Antichrist theory? Do you think there's any chance of your
actually talking to him?
--I'll be sending a number of case files through the DOJlink to this
address, so they'll be available to you anywhere you can gain Web
access. One of them will be the readout and stats on that blood sample
and fingerprint of Manson's, in case you don't have it. Of course we
expected to see Zetan elements in the blood sample, but I confess I'm
still taken aback by this fingerprint. (Did you ever wonder why the
prints don't appear with that arrest photo of him that was leaked out?
I'd bet it's because the police were so unnerved by them. Even an
untrained eye could never take them for human.)
Will wrap this up now. Good luck. Contact me when you can.
