Special Agent Dana Scully 

Case: 4X04/Teliko 

Despite acute trauma to his pituitary gland, Marcus Duff was discharged early 
this morning from Mt. Zion Medical Center. He is expected to testify before a 
grand jury in the capital case against Samuel Aboah. It remains uncertain, 
however, whether Aboah will live long enough to stand trial. His response to 
hormone therapy has been poor, his deterioration progressive. 

My conviction remains intact that the mechanism by which Aboah killed - and, in 
turn, survived - can only be explained by medical science, and that science will 
eventually discover his place in the broader context of evolution. But what 
science may never be able to explain is our ineffable fear of the alien among us, 
a fear which often drives us not to search for understanding, but to deceive, 
inveigle, and obfuscate.  To obscure the truth not only from others but from 
ourselves.
