Special Agent Dana Scully 

Case: 2X19/Dod Kalm

It has been eighteen hours, forty-five minutes since the onset of symptoms. 
Rudimentary blood tests have revealed impossibly high concentrations of sodium 
chloride, salt.

Though the contaminated water itself is not saline, it appears to catalyze 
existing body fluids, causing massive and rapid cellular damage.

The untainted water has slowed the degenerative progression in Trondheim and me. 
But Mulder has fared less well, perhaps because of the dehydration he suffered 
on the way here.

Mulder's urinalysis continues to indicate his kidneys' failure to excrete the 
substance I am calling Heavy Salt.

Whether the untainted water is even helping him at all is unclear. What does 
remain clear to me is that I can't give up trying.
