Chapter 38th Etchings

One thing for sure with Skinner. Even though he was some what swift with his movements at his age. However with the aliens, they were more quicker with Skinner's legs protesting with trying to keep up with them.

While moving into another section. Even though Mulder and Davies trying to keep up with Skinner with his pace.

It was getting to be a little too confusing for the moment. As to why all this was happening in the first place. There would be all kinds of trepidation on the part of Skinner and now with Fox Mulder. As for Miles Davies, his mind and thinking were some what too confused on what exactly is real or fantasy.

They didn't know either on whether the aliens were playing games. In order to gain some sort of information.

It was at this time. Skinner hollered out at the creatures. Telling them he had no desired to hurt them. "Wait!, we won't hurt you. We are only here to help if possible." He says with his eyes scanning to see on whether they were able to understand his command.

It would take a moment for the words to sink in. When the strange aliens were able to stop in there tracks. They weren't scare no longer. Knowing full well the humans weren't going to hurt them.

Otherwise Mulder and Walter Skinner finally will be having the chance to asked questions and to just why it's happening in the first place.

Mulder and Miles was able to move in closer. Mulder was able to say quickly. "Oh, wow!" Even though on his part of it extremely inappropriate to scream out like that from inside a place they were guided into.

"Help us." Was all he heard for the moment.

He's able to stare at them like any normal human being. But when Mulder asked why.

"We need to be protected from those with-in the community." One of the aliens says to the F.B.I. agent.

He's able to place a hand onto one of the aliens for emotional support. "I don't understand." As he watches for there response with the simple statement.

"Your so call organization called the Consortium and a man name Spender."

Mulder had to look over at Skinner and Miles for a brief moment. Knowing full well it just had to be him after all. Mulder used his fist to hit it against the wall of the cave or where ever they were. In order to vent out his frustration.

As he watches further with the aliens having to feel more comfortable with the human for now. Mulder had asked another question and having to be the most obvious for right now. "Where are we?"

The four of the creatures were colliding into each other. In order to try and gather up there thoughts before answering the question.

"All of us are inside a huge space craft designed to look like a cave filled with our communications etchings of our entire solar system. Just prior to entering the galaxy's edge of the barrier. Our people have been here for eons. But for your Consortium and Spender, they have been after us for over fifty years."

"So your talking about the Roswell UFO crashing in the desert?" Mulder announced with his question before moving in closer. And without having them back off from him and the other two.

"Yes. However for your friend here with Davies. He was captured to be used as a pawn in order to find us for there experiments. Otherwise something had gone wrong, and he was able to somehow escape with help from those with-in the organization."

Skinner wasn't able to believe the entire conversation. Nor was Davies. But since he was basically all screwed up both mentally and physically. He never knew on whether he was coming or going half the time.

As he was mostly having indifference with what is being said to the other two from the F.B.I. He was just hopeful now that the entire plan has been revealed, and the so call etchings.

And what they needed to do now. Is figure out the next stage of events and discuss further with the aliens on just how to get out of this craft. And look elsewhere for further help as with the Lone Gunmen and of his partner/wife Dana Scully.
