ING
Go into your office, log onto your computer and access the Intelligence Network Gateway (ING). You can then select the criminal database and enter the names of the various people who were involved in the creation of the game (you can find these in the back of the manual) to access their 'criminal records'. Not everyone listed in the back has a record but quite a few do.
"From Outer Space"
When you first arrive at the Dockside warehouse, use the copy of From Outer Space (which you should have picked up from Mulder's motel room. It is located next to his telephone) on the lock of the front entrance to see a short video of Willmore apparently attempting to pick the lock using the book. In actuality, the video is simply the normal video of Willmore picking the lock but finishes before you see the lockpick.
When you are in the small room in the warehouse with Skinner select From Outer Space and right click it on Skinner. Willmore will hold up the cigarette say "What do you think about this?", the video will then cut to Willmore holding up the lead powder with Skinner replying "I suggest you minimise you're contact with it until we can have it analysed." When you leave the warehouse you'll skip interviewing Wong entirely and go straight to the scene where Skinner informs you that a Sedan has been following you.
If you decide not to do the above then you can approach Wong and instead of using your ID to introduce yourself you can show Wong From Outer Space instead. To do this select From Outer Space and right click it on Wong. You will be rewarded with a doctored video of Willmore using the book instead of his ID.
When you go into the meeting room to discuss the case with Skinner (you need all of the evidence first) right click him with From Outer Space and he'll say "ahh that's a bit of a stretch Agent Willmore I wouldn't waste my time." It's worth noting that if you skip interviewing Wong then doing this is the only way you'll get Skinner called back to Washington, leaving you to carry on with the rest of the game.
When you find Mulder in the attic of the cabin, right click him with From Outer Space and he will say "Oh, that sounds like a reliable source". You then will skip both questioning him and speaking with Scully on the phone. Instead Mulder will say "alright then, let's get going", stand and the NSA agents will arrive.
Hidden Photographs
When Scully phones you in Alaska (at the cabin) answer your cellular phone, quickly select your gun and shoot the woman who walks in front of Scully to see one of five random, computer edited pictures of the creators of X-Files: The Game
