As Annie heads off to Washington to her internship at the FBI she gets stuck doing tedious paperwork & stumbles upon the X-Files. Jeff tentatively comes to visit and they find themselves on a peregrination for the truth, but Annie goes missing. Jeff goes to Mulder for his expertise, but for protection uses the pseudonym 'Tad O'Malley' leading Mulder to believe he's the anchor of a conservative Internet network (Thanks to some help from Abed). Jeff then gives us a Winger speech of doom, he needs pragmatic help to find Annie & stop the invasion: "It'll probably start on a Friday..."

Chapter One
Almost a year has passed since Jeff said goodbye to Annie in the study room F of Greendale library. Now Jeff stood on the green lawn, looking up at the man holding a little bag of sunflower seeds standing at his house; the man was waiting as to why he was even there.
"I'm sure I've said this before to someone else; I discovered at a very early age if I talked long enough I could make anything wrong or right. So I know the truth is relative but from the facts I know, what I'm now calling 'the absolute'. To distinguish through the smoke and mirrors, 'the absolute' is what the government has been hiding from what I have found, the last 70 years.
"Knowing what, 'the absolute' truth means and what 'the absolute' truth is, may not be enough to help me save my friend and that of humanity. Like your self I'm a true believer in the events to unfold. What I need is your expertise. Mr. Mulder, will you help me?" Jeff stood tall with the confidence of an anchorman, equipped with a patriotic red tie and suit.
Mulder spat out some empty sunflower seeds and placed a few more in his mouth, he seemed un-impressed and un-focused to what Jeff was saying, non the less he replied with a hint of sarcasm
"Very impressive speech, but I don't work with media." Mulder said, focusing on his pack of seeds. "What did you say your name was?" He looked up at Jeff, dead in the eyes trying to judge his character.
"Tad O'Malley." Jeff answered with no hesitation, just as he rehearsed with the help from his friend Abed, who was currently in the car holding a camera to play the part of his cameraman. Abed didn't need to pretend, he had the skills.
"I'm an anchor of a conservative Internet network, we don't rely on the outdated ratings of network television to make an interesting story by bend the truth." Jeff started taking a step closer as he spoke "I'm trying to unravel the conspiracies our government leads the public into thinking they are protecting that us, it's the relative truth they feed us into thinking our problems only relate to our individual personal life; problems of financial security, freedom of speech and how much alcohols we can consume and still be able to make it home safe. People believe they are safe, posting daily pictures of their breakfast on-line, but you know as well as I of 'the absolute', we've never been in more danger."
Jeff knew a little bit about Fox Mulder from the stories Annie told him going through the X-Files at her internship at the FBI. This Mr. Mulder standing in front of him had been through a lot, with stubble on his face he was wearing baggy jeans and a t-shirt, he looked like a homeless man. Then again, Jeff was the one standing in front of a former FBI agent, lying about whom he was. He figured if he went to Muler for help as a failed former lawyer with a community college degree in teaching, he wouldn't even here him out.
"Who's your friend, the one you're trying to save?" Mulder crunched on his sunflower seeds. "You're talking around what you're trying to say. How does this causation that you ascribe as an 'actuality'…"
"The absolute"
"Right, 'the absolute', how has this personally affected you, drive you to knock on my door?"
"A woman who is important to me is missing. After interning at the FBI she found files, lots and lots of files - marked X. She's smart; she put together a few fundamental things and found a name that stood out, Troy Barnes. He went from sailing around the world and ended up being kidnapped. It was reportedly pirates but some how ended up being taken by government soldiers, and not any normal kind of soldiers. I helped her investigate this, to find Troy and now she's missing too."
"So you think they took your girlfriend?"
"I know there is an elite team implanted within the government that has something to do with her disappearance. She's not my girlfriend, she's one of my best friends and she needs your help."
