Special Agent Fox Mulder

Case: 2X09/Firewalker

All of our specimens and field notes were confiscated by the military Biohazard 
Corps prior to our evacuation. Their presence delayed for an indefinite period 
the arrival of the USGS data retrieval team. I suspect though, that there will 
be little left for them to retrieve. There are no plans at present to explore 
further any of the hundreds of volcanically active mountains in the Cascade 
Range, including Mount Avalon. All access points to that volcano have been 
sealed off by Army engineers. Of the members of the Firewalker descent team, 
only Trepkos and O'Neil remain unaccounted for. They are presumed dead, and the 
search for them had been abandoned. Firewalker, however, was recovered, though 
its sensory and locomotive systems were found to be irreparably damaged. The data 
it collected from the earth's interior will never be known. And of the events 
that occurred at Mount Avalon, mine stands as the only record.
