Taking the Fifth and Sixth...

In the nick of time...

Scully was taken by surprise as someone tackled her from behind, knocking Mulder to the ground with a bone-crunching thud. Throwing her hands up in a defensive gesture, she whirled toward her attacker and was amazed to find Mulder. But if Mulder... Then who... Laying on the ground, was a real live, dead alien. Scully was flabbergasted as she realized this creature had been the source of her daydreaming. Mulder was equally astonished but mostly annoyed at the sight of his crushed cell phone under the alien's monstrous elbow. What the heck would he write on the requisition form this time?

Realizing the opportunity that lay before them, Scully pulled out some of her super cool science stuff and got to work collecting blood and tissue samples from the extraterrestrial. An agitated Mulder rattled his cell phone in despair, hoping that by some miracle it was still in working order. With the alien cells already growing in her trusty erlenmeyer flask, Scully did some quick PCR and sequencing to reveal the mysteries the dead alien would otherwise take to his grave if the consortium had its way.
