Chapter 7 - Secret Informants. She Doesn't Trust Them. You're Better Off Not Mentioning Them.

Trust me on this. You do not want to tell Scully that you've found out about a fascinating x-file from an anonymous source. The last time I did that, we were headed to Dreamland (aka Area 51) and she started talking about having a normal life. Save both of you the aggravation. You're better off just avoiding the truth.

Deep Throat

There's only been one informant who Scully ever actually trusted, and that wasn't until the end. He helped us considerably in our first year together, tipping off about aircraft, aliens, and more. He got us access to classified areas.

Scully first thought he was pulling my chain. That he was using us for his own reasons. I'm not sure what eventually changed her mind, but Deep Throat must've done something pretty damn impressive.

Unfortunately, he was killed. They found him out. And we were left unaided. Mostly.

Senator Matheson

I had help from him for a while. But he eventually got too nervous. Of course, I guess I can't blame him. It's very easy to make yourself a target in this game that we all seem to be pawns in.

            The last big thing he tipped me off to was Arecibo. But Scully and I could only grab the tapes. They got wiped clean by an electrical surge. Once again, there's the proof lesson. I should've grabbed a few of those printouts.

X

Our most reluctant informant. He seemed to think I'm the reason Deep Throat was killed. Maybe he was right. In which case I'm responsible for him, too, since I'm fairly sure he's dead.

He was easy enough to contact, (just leave an 'X' up) but getting information from him was tough. But what he did get us was useful.

Others

We had a guy tip us off about Area 51 once. That didn't pan out. Like Scully said, it was probably just an overeager Trekkie.

The Lone Gunmen help sometimes. And there's Skinner.

Cancer Man helps at times, if what he does can be called "helping". I'm sure he only cured Scully's cancer for a reason of his own. If you use his info, be careful of the price.
