by an intelligence agent involved in the alien conspiracy. (Per Manum)
1970s
Eddie Van
Blundht, Senior, appears as Eddie the Monkey Man in a circus side show.
His son, Eddie Junior, is also born with a vestigial tail, which is later
surgically removed. Both of them have a unique layer of voluntary muscle
under the skin that allows them to appear to be other people. They eventually
settle in Martinsburg, West Virginia. (Small Potatoes)
In Hollywood A.D.,
Dana Scully mentions having attended Catholic school. While it is not clear
when, it is most likely that this was during elementary school. Scully mentions
Sister Callahan who is known by the children as "Sister Spooky." The Sister
often displays objects which she claims are rare religious artifacts, such
a vial of colored liquid she claims is the blood of John the Baptist. It
is from her that Scully first hears the legend of the Lazarus Bowl. (Hollywood
A.D.)
Sometime circa
1970, plus or minus a few years, fraternal twins Dwight and Randall Cooper
are born, each with unusual visual conditions. Dwight is declared legally
blind, and can only see things very close up or shapes of more distant objects.
Randall can see at wavelengths that allow him to see through walls. (Surekill)

Samantha Mulder
breaks her collar bone, at age 6. (Paper Hearts)
Circa 1970
Young Dana
Scully hides a rabbit in a lunch box, to protect it from her older brother,
Bill. She returns to find it dead. (In Christmas
Carol, she appeared to be 5 or 6 years old when dreaming about this
event.)
Future FBI Deputy
Director Kersh is an Air Force pilot in Vietnam, often flying his jets just
feet above the treetops. (Within)
Walter Skinner
enlists in the Marines on his 18th birthday. Three months later becomes disillusioned
when he has to kill an armed child in Vietnam. He begins using drugs. Later,
his patrol is caught in an ambush, he is wounded and believes he has an out-of-body
experience. He sees an old woman he believes to be an hallucination, watching
his wounded body, and helping him return from "the light" that represents
death. He wakes up in a Saigon hospital two weeks later, afraid to look beyond
his experience. (Avatar)
A group of marines
at Paris Island submits to a surgical process that eliminates the need for,
and their ability to, sleep. Included is Augustas Cole, nicknamed Preacher,
because he quotes the Bible. The theory is that sleep is the greatest enemy
a soldier has. The squad eventually refuses to take orders from its company
commander, including an order to kill over 300 children at Phu By, in Vietnam.

Circa 1970-72
In the episode
Space, Mulder comments that the Apollo mission of astronaut Maruc Arelius
Belt suffered an oxygen loss.
Marty Glenn is
born as her mother dies from a stab wound inflicted by Charles Wesley Gotts.
Surgeons save Marty, but she is born blind as a result of the loss of blood
flow. Gotts, who is also Marty's father, is not caught but is arrested for
another crime and sent to prison for 28 years. Marty grows us "seeing" through
the eyes of Gotts as he lives in prison. She does not realize whose eyes
she sees through. (Mind's Eye)
1971
Melissa Riedel
is born. Mulder believes her to be a reincarnation of his civil war era
lover. (TFWID)
In Vietnam, a
helicopter carrying personnel of the Green Beret B-11 Bloody Sabers is shot
down, including Sergeant Nathaniel J. Teager and Lance Corporal Gary Davenport.
The soldiers are taken prisoner. Three teeth recovered from the crash site
are identified as those of Teager, and he is reported dead. In fact, at least
a dozen American soldiers are held in captivity for almost 25 years. When
Saigon falls, they are not repatriated. (Unrequited)

Near Bloomington,
Indiana, a farmer named Pollidori realizes that his research-scientist
son has created a deformed child. The farmer takes the child, and raises
him as his own. (The Post-Modern Prometheus said the
child came to life 25 years earlier. It was unclear how old the child was
when Mr. Pollidori took him.)

1973
The Adam and
Eve clones in the Litchfield Experiment become homicidal. This may be
about the time that Eve 8 escapes. The project is given the highest level
of classified status by the Federal Government and all records are destroyed.
Also around this time, Eve 7 enters college, with the goal of completing
degrees in genetics and medicine. She takes the name Sally Kendrick. (Eve)(The
escape of Eve 8 was given as ten years after Eve 7 escaped, which was given
as early in the history of the project.
In Detour, Mulder
mentions that he and his father were Indian Guides. The YMCA reportedly
sponsors this organization, which is similar to Boy Scouts but is specifically
for fathers and sons. In 1973, Mulder is twelve years old. He might have
been a member for up to three of four years.
Circa this period,
the Scully family lives in California, while William Scully is stationed
at Miramar Naval Air Station, San Diego. While there, Dana is vaccinated
for smallpox. Commander Johansen is a neighbor, three doors down. His son
Richard and Dana are playmates, and often play a game called Beckons Wanted.
(731 & Nisei)
In Little Green
Men, Scully says that in spite of having spent time in the San Diego area,
she never visited the Mount Palomar Observatory.

after her divorce. (Paper Hearts)
October 13,
1973
(This entire
date entry is based on One Son.)
State Department
staff members have learned that the aliens encountered at Roswell are planning
to colonize Earth in a process that will kill all humans. For reasons that
are not completely clear, the Colonists negotiate to delay the colonization
while the members of the Project develop both a means of distributing the
alien Black Oil virus, as well as develop a race of human-alien hybrids that
is immune to the Black Oil. The operatives of the project take a vote and
agree to work with the Colonists as a way of stalling for time while they
try to develop a defense against the Black Oil. In this way, the Conspiracy
is born, and the new Consortium is not controlled by any government.
Bill Mulder is
the only dissenting vote. When the aliens provide an alien fetus to the Consortium,
providing DNA with which to develop the hybrids, Mulder devises a plan to
use the DNA to create a vaccine, so that the entire human population might
be saved.
When the humans
agree to help the Colonists, the aliens demand that each give up a child
or other loved one into the custody of the colonists, with the promise that
they will be returned when the colonization begins. The plan is that they,
as well as the members and other family of the Consortium, will receive the
alien genes and become hybrids themselves.
It is unclear
why the Colonists need help from humans, and why they are willing to wait
for years for the hybrids to be developed. It is also unclear what use the
Colonists would have for immune hybrids.
A dark, shadowy
organization of people, mostly men, the Consortium eventually includes members
from many countries. Conspiracy leaders and operatives do not hesitate at
murder and other crimes to further the goals of the Conspiracy. The conspiracy
is also known as the Consortium and the Syndicate. (Two Fathers, etc.)
Conrad Strughold
becomes involved at some point and gains a position of authority in the Consortium.
Meetings involving him are generally held in London, as opposed to most meetings
of the Consortium which are held in New York. This suggests that he may be
unable to legally enter the United States.
As time goes by,
and no vaccine is developed, some members of the Consortium come to believe
that slavery for the human race is better than death. They become more interested
in their personal futures and gaining preferred status from the Colonists.
Other members of the Consortium, however, apparently remain pure to the original
goal of defeating the Colonists.
1973
A photograph
is taken at the "Strughold Mining Company" mine in West
Virginia where medical data on hundreds of thousands of people is filed.
The photo includes Bill Mulder, German scientist Victor Klemper, the
Cancer Man, the Well Manicured Man and several other members of the
Conspiracy. (Nisei & 731) Development of this database was apparently part
of the human-alien hybrid program. (Two Fathers, etc.)
November 1973??
In Demons,
Mulder experiences a series of flashbacks to events in his family's summer
cottage in Rhode Island during which Bill Mulder apparently tells his wife
that Samantha must be taken. In the flashback, the Mulders argue and the
Smoking Man is present -- at one point calling young Fox a spy. Closed
captioning reveals Mrs. Mulder repeatedly says "not Samantha," and Bill
Mulder says that the orders came down from on high. Bill Mulder and Cancer
Man also argue during the flashbacks, which may or may not be true, due
to the drugs Mulder received that induced the flashbacks.
Teena Mulder later
(in Demons) says her husband asked her to decide which child should be taken,
but she could not and hated her husband for making the choice. The evidence
in a West Virginia mine indicates that Fox was originally chosen, but the
decision was changed, with Samantha ultimately taken. Does that mean William
Mulder chose Fox to be taken, and somehow his decision was overridden? Or
that Bill changed his mind about which of his children would grow up to make
the best operative against the Colonists?
November 27,
1973
Samantha Mulder
and Cassandra Spender both disappear. On this day Gerald R. Ford is confirmed
as Vice President of the United States. Also on this date, Rosemary Woods
admits that she was responsible for erasure of some, but not all of the
18 minute gap on a tape recorded in President Nixon's office. (Historical)
The date is given
in the episode Conduit, which gives Samantha's address at the time as 2790
Vine Street, Chilmarc, Mass, different from the address on her smallpox vaccination
certificate. It is repeated in Two Fathers and One Son, which makes clear
that both women were taken on the same day.
Cassandra Spender,
wife of C.G.M. Spender, is later confirmed to have been kidnapped repeatedly
by the government conspiracy, working to make her a human-alien hybrid. C.G.M.
Spender is later determined to be an alias of the Cigarette Smoking Man.
(Two Fathers) Someone who is apparently Cassandra is seen in One Son preparing
to enter the alien spacecraft along with other loved ones of the Consortium
members. Either this delivery of family members took place after November
27th or it was not really Cassandra seen on screen.
Samantha is said
in One Son to have been taken later than the others, because Bill Mulder
delayed "coming to his senses" about
the plan. In the X-Files Movie novelization, the Well Manicured Man tells
Fox Mulder that his father refused to believe that victory against the Colonists
consists of merely staying alive. WMM says that Samantha was abducted, to
be taken to a cloning program so she would become immune and survive. WMM
also says that Bill Mulder's hope for FOX was that he would uncover the truth
about the Project and do everything possible to stop it.
It is unclear
why Cassandra was apparently taken by the aliens but returned for experimentation.
Samantha is taken
just as her older brother, Fox, is getting ready to watch his favorite TV
program, The Magician, starring Bill Bixby. Their parents are next door,
visiting the Galbrands. (Little Green Men) In Conduit, Mulder's voice on
his hypnosis tape says as Samantha is being taken, he hears a voice in his
head saying she will return someday, which is something he says "I want to
believe."
Fox comes to believe
Samantha has been kidnapped by aliens. Mr. and Mrs. Mulder separate soon
after and divorce. William Mulder later sells the house in Chilmark and buys
a home in West Tisbury, also on Martha's Vineyard. (Paper Hearts) After her
divorce, Mrs. Mulder later lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, keeping much
of her property in storage in the basement, including a vacuum cleaner. (731 & Nisei;
Paper Hearts) By Sein Und Seit she is living in an apartment, rather than
a house.
Samantha ends
up in the care of C.G.M. Spender and she lives with his family in residential
quarters on the April Air Force Base in California. Jeffrey spender is apparently
living with the family, as well. Both of the children's hand prints are placed
in fresh concrete outside the family home. Samantha is subjected to repeated
tests that she comes to hate. (Closure)
Young Fox has
a recurring nightmare in which he wakes up and thinks he is the only person
left in the world. He is always reassured to find his father in the study,
eating sunflower seeds. (Aubrey) He often closes his eyes when he climbs
the stairs of his house, hoping that he will open them again and his sister
will be in her room. (Conduit)

Mulder later says
that when he was 14, he stayed up all night to watch the space walk of famous
astronaut Marcus Aurelius Belt. (Space) (It is
unclear what mission this was on. The last Skylab mission ended February,

July 15-24, 1975. The first orbital Space Shuttle flight was April 12-14
1981.)

extraterrestrial transmission, although it is not considered to be
definitive evidence. (Historical fact, mentioned in Little Green Men)

In Christmas
Carol, Dana dreams about receiving her cross necklace from her mother for
Christmas in 1977 or maybe 1976. This contradicts the statement in Ascension
that it was February 23, 1979. In the dream, Melissa Scully gets a similar

also hopes to receive the album "Hotel

On Dana's
fifteenth birthday, Margaret Scully gives her daughter a necklace consisting
of a gold cross on a gold chain. (Ascension) (Note:
In Christmas Carol, Dana has a dream remembering receiving the necklace at

can't tell for sure when she received it.)
1979
Eddie Van
Blundht and his girl friend Amanda date throughout high school. Amanda
later says they went to the theater every weekend. In 1979, Star Wars was
re-released in conjunction with the release of The Empire Strikes Back.
This would have been the latest they could have seen it in the theater
prior to release of the modified version of the film in 1997. Amanda presumably
watched it many more times on video cassette in order to reach her figure
of 400 times by Memorial Day 1997. If they were Freshmen in 1979, they
would each be about 32 in 1997, which fits their apparent age as seen on
screen. (Small Potatoes)
Izzy Berkewitz
is born to Shaineh Berkewitz as the result of experiments by a farmer named
Pollidori. The experiments are intended to create a mate for a physically
deformed child in Pollidori's care. Over the succeeding years several additional

in common with a barnyard animal. (The Post-Modern Prometheus.)
Computer genius
Donald Gelman is offered a commercial deal that could set him up as another
Bill Gates. He goes hiking in the Sierras to think it over and disappears.
His disappearance is infamous among computer geeks, but in reality he goes
into hiding to pursue his own projects, in part because he is being investigated
by the NSA. Gelman is one of a group of Silicon Valley pioneers although
at age 28 he is the "old man" and is
not really "one" of them, although he works with them. One of his key
interests is the fledgling networks that will become the Internet. He
also has significant interests in artificial intelligence.

Unable to
stand the tests any longer, Samantha Mulder, age 14, runs away from the
Spender home at April Air Force Base in California. She believes that those
performing the tests have taken her memories -- she has only vague memories
of a brother. She is picked up by police as a runaway and taken to Dominic
Savio Memorial Hospital, suffering from paranoia and what are considered
to be self-inflicted wounds. She gives no name and allows no one but the
emergency room nurse, Arbutus Ray, to touch her. As Samantha sleeps, Ray
has a brief vision of Samantha dead in her bed, but the vision quickly
passes and Samantha is fine. Late that night, a group of men arrives to
take Samantha, but the nurse finds that Samantha has disappeared from a
locked hospital room, never to be seen again. (Closure)

While at Oxford,
he develops a relationship with Phoebe Green, who herself becomes a British

Computer genius
Donald Gelman creates an interlocking set of computer viruses in an attempt
to create an artificial intelligence. He releases the viruses into the
computer networks which would later become part of the Internet. His intent
is that the A.I. evolve in its natural environment. This is about the time
that ARPANET is split into ARPANET and MILNET. This gives the A.I. access

having completed her MD degree at Yale, first in her class, and previously
having obtained a PhD in Biogenetics. She secretly clones herself twice.
The clones are born as Cindy Reardon and Tina Simmons. Eventually, Eve 6
is suspended for experimentation with eugenics. She is fired and censured

1986
Fox Mulder
completes his Oxford degree in Psychology. In the Pilot, Mulder tells Scully "I
went off to school in England, I came back, got recruited by the Bureau..." implying
his entire college career may have been in England. (From resume seen
in Unusual Suspects.)
Mulder is given
the FBI badge number 22791. (The Amazing Maleeni)
At some point
during his school years as he studies psychology, Mulder watches a documentary
about an insane asylum in which an inmate claims to have been abducted by
the "Fire Demons." The
documentary gives Mulder nightmares, probably because of what he imagines
might have happened to Samantha if she was abducted the same way, and because
of his fear of fire. (Our Town)
In The End, the
Lone Gunmen say that Diana Fowley was Mulder's "chickadee" at the time he
graduated from the FBI Academy, in 1986. On the other hand, Diana implied
that she and Mulder knew each other in 1991, about the time she graduated
from the FBI Academy. One conclusion is that they had a relationship dating
back to 1986, and she applied to the FBI later.
At Greenwood Memorial

twelve of the manuscript mentions MJ-12, and cites biographical information
on two scientists connected with NACA, Dr. Detlev Bronk and Dr. Jerome
Hunsaker, and mentions a super-secret operation. (Musing...)
The thesis also
addresses time travel, as suggested by its title. The thesis includes the
following two comments: "Although common sense
may rule out the possibility of time travel, the laws of quantum physics
certainly do not." "Although multi-dimensionality suggests infinite
outcomes in an infinite number of universes, each universe can produce
only one outcome." (Synchrony)
1986
Mulder graduates
at the top of his 15-week class at the Quantico FBI academy, earning the
nickname "Spooky." (From resume seen in Unusual
Suspects.)
In many ways he
is a protege of William Patterson. Famous in the FBI for his skill as a criminologist,
Patterson teaches that it is necessary to "become the monster" in order to
understand the murdered. Mulder feels Patterson dislikes him, because Mulder
is not a dutiful enough student. Patterson, however, follows Mulder's career,
and holds him in very high respect. (In Grotesque, Scully mentions that
Patterson's conflict with Mulder was 8 years earlier, yielding early 1988
or maybe late 1987. 1986 date for Mulder at the FBI Academy given in resume
screen in Unusual Suspects.)
Using what he
has learned from Patterson, Mulder writes a monograph on serial killers and
the occult that helps catch Monte Props. (Pilot)
Mulder's initial
FBI assignment is apparently as a "general
assignment" agent. (Unusual Suspects gives his assignment to the
Violent Crimes unit as 1988, which is confirmed by statements in
Tooms.)
1987
John Doggett
joins the New York City Police Department as a detective in the Fugitive
Unit. (Within) While serving on the NYPD, one of his cases involved a
theft ring that uses children for breaking and entering. (Badlaa)
According to Deep
Throat, a group of school children from a southern state is injected with
cloned alien DNA without their parent's knowledge. (The Erlenmeyer Flask)
B.J. Morrow becomes
a police officer, circa 1987. (Aubrey)
Scully's God-son
is born to her friend Ellen. (The Jersey Devil)
In Pocatella,
Idaho, Six year old Dean Tencate disappears from his bed. A note is found,
written in his mother's handwriting, threatening Dean's life and containing
the cryptic phrase "no one shoots Santa Claus." Kathy Lee Tencate is sentenced
to twelve years in prison, although her son's body is never found. (Sein
Und Zeit)
1988
The FBI begins
a study that lasts seven years of devil worship and the occult, and their
influence, if any, on American youth. (Die Hand Die Verleitz)
Members of the
high school class of 1989 of Bellefleur, Oregon, begin suffering a series
of unexplained disappearances and deaths. Others suffer from what appears
to post traumatic stress syndrome. (Pilot)
Beginning this
year, seven X-Files cases are opened in which people become deranged with
the belief that a person is really a monster masquerading as a human. They
each use a phrase something to the effect that the monster is "hiding in
the light" so
that most people do not see it. This same year, Greg Pinkas goes to work
for VinalRight siding. He is present in each of the seven cases. Locations
include Colorado, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, and Minnesota, among others.
In fact, Pinkas is some sort of insectoid being that has the ability to cloud
people's minds to not see him. Darkness reduces the effectiveness of this
clouding. Pinkas creates zombies by injecting victims with a toxin at the
backs of their necks. The final case is in Oak Brook, Illinois, in May of
1998. (Folie a Duex)
Late 1988
Mulder is
assigned to the violent crimes section, where he is generally considered
to be an expert analyst. (In Tooms, Mulder says
he worked for three years with the FBI Behavioral Science unit, profiling
serial killers. In Unusual Suspects, the resume screen indicated 1988 for
his assignment to Violent Crimes. This matches well with his assignment
to the X-Files in late 1991 or early 1992.)
Mulder is partnered
with Jerry Lamana in the Violent Crimes unit. (Ghost in the Machine)
1988 or 89
Mulder is
stationed in Washington DC. He initially offends his supervisor, Reggie
Purdue, who later comes to greatly respect Mulder's intellect.
At this time (or
maybe later) he rents apartment 42 at 2639 Hegal Place, Alexandria, Virginia,
and acquires the telephone number (202) 555-0110. (Within)
In Mulder's first
case in Washington DC, John Irvin Barnett, a New Hampshire native, kills
seven people in the course of various armed robberies. A major task force
is created, and Mulder's theory is that Barnett has a confederate in the
armored car company, tipping him off to major cash shipments.
Barnett begins
sending taunting notes to Mulder. Barnett is caught, but agent Steve Wohlenberg
dies in a shoot-out. Mulder is convinced he could have saved Wohlenberg,
although he acted by the book. Mulder never forgives himself. Barnett vows "I'll
get you" to
Mulder. (Young at Heart)
1989
Scully drifts
away from the Catholic Church, making her last confession for six years.
(Revelations)
Sometime in 1989
Paul Gerlach goes to work for the Chessman Memorial mental hospital in
West Virginia as a security guard. (Daemonicus)
February 23,
1989??
In Lazarus,
Scully says that when she was sitting for her Medical Boards, she forgot
her birthday. It is unclear what year that would have been, but possibly
before her internship?
May 1989
Robert Lazar's
first interviews are broadcast on KLAS-TV in Las Vegas. Lazar states he
had been hired to reverse engineer extraterrestrial craft at a facility
at Papoose Lake, just southwest of Groom Lake. Lazar's appearance focuses
the first widespread public interest on the Groom Lake area. Lazar's background
is suspect. Several items on his resume cannot be confirmed. (Published
Accounts)
May 1989
Unusual
Suspects.
The trio of paranoid conspiracy theorists known as The
Lone Gunmen meet and begin working together. At a consumer electronics
show in Baltimore, Byers enlists the assistance of Melvin Frohike and
Langly to help a women who claims her three year old daughter has been
kidnapped by a psychopathic ex-boyfriend. The two are competing hackers,
and are each selling equipment to steal and descramble cable television
service.
The plot thickens
when Susanne identifies Mulder, also attending the show, as the ex-boyfriend,
and when Langly discovers that the woman, Susanne Modeski, is wanted by the
FBI.
Susanne explains
that she was a research scientist at the Army Advanced Weapons facility at
Whitestone, NM. She developed a gas that causes fear and paranoia, that the
military plans to test on civilians. They track the material to a warehouse,
where they find the gas in a shipment of asthma inhalers. Mulder follows
them, and there is a gunfight between Mulder and two agents of the Conspiracy,
who want to take Susanne into custody. Suzanne kills them when they are about
to kill Mulder. Mulder inhales some of the paranoia gas, and writhes on the
floor, undressing.
Conspiracy operatives
lead by X arrive to sanitize the site. They leave Byers, Frohike and Langly
unharmed, with the caution to "behave." X specifically instructs his operatives
to not touch Mulder. Susanne escapes. Mulder thinks he sees the crew sanitizing
the site as aliens, although they are human.
The Lone Gunmen
trace Susanne and she admonishes them to tell as many people as they can
about the government conspiracy. They witness Susanne being taken into custody
by X. (Richard Belzer guest stars as Lt.
Munch, his character from "Homicide: Life on the Street." Langly's last
name, reported to be "Ringo" in early scripts, did not make it into the
final edit of this episode. His first name is finally established on-screen
as "Richard" in Via Negativa.)
In "Three of a
Kind," we
learn that Suzanne was held captive and possibly subjected to medical tests.
Eventually Grant Ellis, another employee of the Advanced Weapons Facility,
rescues her. She does not trust him for a long time, but eventually comes
to believe that he is working from within to undermine the project. By 1999
she will be engaged to him.
June 16, 1989
Mulder works
with Dr. Heits Werber to use regression therapy to remember the night his
sister disappeared. He remembers a voice in his head telling him that Samantha
will not be harmed and will one day return. Mulder tells Werber that "I
want to believe" that
voice. (Werber
mentioned in Pilot, June 16 given in Conduit) In addition to the audio
tape seen in Conduit, a videotape recording is made, seen in
Closure.
September
16, 1989
John Irvin
Barnett, the subject of Mulder's first investigation, is reported dead
in Tashmoo Federal Correctional Facility, of cardiac arrest. (Young at
Heart)
His friend, Joe
Crandell, sees a doctor operating on Barnett, and believes Barnett is not
dead. Dr. Joseph Ridley believes he has learned how to reverse the effects
of aging and conducts secret unauthorized experiments on his patients. He
eventually loses his medical license for unethical experimentation on humans,
but no one connects his work with Barnett. (Young at Heart)
Late December
1989
Henry Weems
is the only survivor of a commuter jet crash into Lake Michigan. He is
sitting in Seat 13 of Flight 7. He soon discovers that he has acquired
extraordinarily good luck, but that people around him tend to suffer because
of his luck. He resigns his job in a train yard and moves to Melrose Park
where he becomes an apartment building superintendent and tries to avoid
situations in which his good luck will result in bad luck for others. He
also begins building complex machines like those designed by Rube Goldberg
because they illustrate how his luck sometimes causes events to play out.
(The Goldberg Variation)
Late 1980s
or early 1990s??
Dana Scully's
nephew is born. (Home)(This
is apparently a son of Charles Scully, because Dana's other two siblings,
Bill and Melissa, have no children as of this date. In 1996, Scully mentions
her nephew watching the movie "Babe." Assuming that Charles is the younger
of Scully's brothers, the nephew could not have been born much before
this time frame.)
1990s??
Eddie Van
Blundht, Sr., dies of heart disease and old age, but his son hides his
body, using his unique shape changing abilities to impersonate his father
to get the social security checks. (Small Potatoes)
At some point,
described only as "several years" before 1997, a
forensic anthropologist named Arlinsky is implicated in a UFO photo
enhancement scandal. (Gethsemane)
At some point,
possibly in the 1990s or possibly much earlier, a team of Russian geologists
locates rock from the Tunguska meteorite. The rock contains an organism,
probably extraterrestrial in origin, that invades human bodies. It comes
to be called the "Black Cancer." Russians begin
perfecting a vaccination. Eventually the Conspiracy learns of its
existence and begins efforts to acquire samples of the rock and organism.
Working for the
conspiracy, Dr. Bonita Charre-Sayre uses her position as a consulting physician
for a chain of convalescent homes to test patients with Black Cancer, without
their knowledge. She begins a relationship with the Well Manicured Man.
She also begins
advocating the destruction of the last samples of smallpox virus, held in
research laboratories following eradication of the disease. This position
is the result of her secret knowledge of the use of smallpox by the Conspiracy.
The Russian government
may have sent Alex Krycek to America as a mole to infiltrate the Conspiracy
with the ultimate plan of ending Conspiracy Black Cancer research. On the
other hand, maybe the Russians did not know that Alex was an agent of the
Consortium, or maybe somebody else. It is hard telling. (Terma)
1990
At least two
pilots at Ellens AFB begin acting strangely in a way Scully later says
is typical of reaction to extreme stress. (Deep Throat)
Reggie Purdue
assigns Mulder to a serial murder case involving girls age 8 to 12, thinking
Mulder can get inside the killer's head. A profile written by Mulder helps
catch John Lee Roche, who had traveled the Northeast as a vacuum cleaner
salesman. Each girl he killed was abducted from her home and strangled with
8-gauge electrical wire. He kept a heart-shaped patch of cloth from the chest
of each victim, hiding them in a copy of Alice in Wonderland, and hiding
the book in the head liner of his white El Camino. Roche confesses to the
murders of 13 girls, dating back to 1979, and is sentenced to life in prison.
He does not mention his three earliest murders. The case comes to be called
the Paper Heart murders, because of the cloth hearts he took as trophies.
Mulder hopes to someday find the trophy hearts, and see if there were only
13 murders. (Paper Hearts)
The American Voyager
1 spacecraft crosses the orbit of Neptune, effectively leaving the solar
system. (Little Green Men)
Early 1990
Dana Scully
completes medical training. The FBI recruits her during final months of
her residency and she enrolls in the 15-week FBI Academy training course.
Her parents consider her joining the FBI to be an act of rebellion, but
Dana sees it as a place where she can distinguish herself. (Pilot)
In joining the
FBI, Scully walks away from her affair with medical school teacher Daniel
Waterston, a married man. Scully considers spending her life with him. Her
reasons for breaking off the relationship are complex, and not totally clear.
At one point she says that one reason for ending the affair was to protect
Waterston's family. Note that the chronology of Scully's medical school,
internship and residencies is vague. Waterston was apparently teacher to
Scully in connection with her internship or residency. Her residency may,
however, have been served after joining the Bureau.
Waterston is devastated
when Scully leaves. He ends up divorcing his wife, Barbara. His daughter,
Maggie, takes the divorce hard, and blames Scully.
Scully's father,
in particular, does not approve of her decision to enter the FBI, and never
actually tells her prior to his death that he accepts her decision. (Beyond
the Sea)
In Christmas Carol,
Scully dreams about a conversation she had with Melissa shortly before going
to Quantico. Scully says when she entered Medical School, the decision seemed
right. Now, the FBI seems right. She expresses concern that it may turn out
not to be right. Melissa cautions her that the real important things are
the people she meets along the way. In the dream, the conversation was at
Christmas, but in reality it may have been on another occasion.
February 23,
1990
Scully and
FBI Academy instructor Jack Willis celebrate their mutual birthday by going
to what Scully later called a "dive" in Stratford.
They are involved in a relationship that lasts for roughly a year. It is
unknown how they begin the relationship, but might it be the result of
this joint birthday celebration? (Lazarus)
Scully has this
affair on the rebound from Daniel Waterston, the married man she left in
order to join the FBI. (All Things)
Spring 1990
Scully graduates
from the 15-week new agent course at the FBI Academy, and is presently
assigned to teach at the Academy, because of her medical degree. An infamous
instructor is Nancy Spiller, a forensics specialist known by the nickname
The Iron Maiden. (Lazarus) One student is Kelly Ryan, with whom Scully
remains in contact, among other things telling her about Mulder. (Soft
Light) (Note that the chronology of Scully's
medical training suggests that her residencies may have been served after
becoming an agent -- possibly at Quantico, where she has said to have
taught during these years.)
At an outdoor
elementary school fair in Dexter, Oklahoma, Billy Underwood is kidnapped
and later killed by the owner of a pony ride carousel. Teenager Ronnie Pernell,
son of the pony ride owner's girlfriend, comforts Billy, including singing
to him, before Billy is killed. In spite of a lengthy investigation, police
never identify a suspect. Mrs. Underwood is already pregnant with her second
child, Josh. (Invocation)
Winter 1990-91
Jack Willis
takes his girl friend, Dana Scully, to his parent's lake cabin. He teaches
her ice fishing. While they are there, they run out of wood for heating
the cabin and he has to wrap her in a blanket. (Lazarus)
November 17,
1990
Travelers. A
sheriff's officer and a landlord arrive at a rundown rural house to evict
the tenant, Edward Skur. They enter the house and find the remains of a
body in the bathtub. Edward Skur attacks the officer and Skur is shot.
He dies saying the name "Mulder."
Three days later,
Fox Mulder interviews former FBI agent Arthur Dale who opened an X-Files
on Skur in 1952. Most of the original FBI report has been edited out. Dale
has little to say to Mulder, but Mulder realizes that Skur was saying the
name of Bill Mulder, Fox's father. Dale mentions the House Unamerican Activities
Committee (HUAC) and the Army-McCarthy hearings of the 1950s that investigated
alleged communists in the American government in the 1950s. Mulder finds
a tape of one of the hearings and sees his father in the audience. Returning
to Dale's home, Fox gets Dale to tell him about the events of 1952.
1990
Fox Mulder
may have had a brief marriage circa 1990. In Travelers he is seen to be
wearing a wedding ring, although it is not referenced in the episode. David
Duchovny has been quoted as saying that it was his idea to give Mulder
a wedding ring as well as to show him smoking in Travelers. He said he
wanted to give Mulder a wife that he never ever would talk about. On the
other hand, in The End, we learn about Mulder's relationship with Diana
Fowley, around this same time. Were they married? Did Mulder pick up with
her after his divorce? Did Mulder have some reason for wearing a wedding
ring when he was not married? What about the Lone Gunmen's comment placing
the Mulder-Fowley relationship as far back as 1986? (Travelers and The
End)
Late 1990
or Early 1991
Mulder's success
in violent crimes allows him a certain latitude to pursue his own interests.
He discovers the X-Files. (Pilot)
Lone Gunmen later
tell Scully that Diana Fowley was Mulder's "chickadee" at the time he graduated
from the FBI Academy, in 1986. On the other hand, Diana implied that she
and Mulder knew each other in 1991, about the time she graduated from the
FBI Academy. One conclusion is that they had a relationship dating back to
1986, and she applied to the FBI later. At any rate, the Lone Gunmen say
that Diana was present when Mulder discovered the X-Files. This apparently
happened given the tip provided to Mulder by former FBI agent Arthur Dale
in November 1990. (Travelers and The End.)
1991
The Simmons
family moves from San Francisco to Greenwich, Connecticut, including their
five year old daughter Tina, who is actually an Eve clone. Also during
this year, Mrs. Simmons dies of ovarian cancer. Unknown whether it was
before or after the move. (Eve.)
Scully's former
playmate, Richard Johansen, is killed in a training accident during the Gulf
War. (731 & Nisei)
On a west Texas
highway, a human body is found with its skull smashed in and with a strange
wound on its back. The murder remains unsolved for some years. The body has
formerly been occupied by a parasite that is capable of taking complete control
of the human body, but which finds many humans unsuitable. (RoadRunners)
Michael Kritschgau
claims in 1997 that his son, Michael Jr., is very ill as the result of Conspiracy
chemical warfare experiments during the Gulf War. (Gethsemane and Redux)
Militia member
Timothy Edward Mayhew, tells Scully and Mulder in 1996 that the "Black Cancer" was
used as biological warfare during the Gulf War. No corroboration of this
statement has been found. (Terma)
Supersoldiers
fight during the Gulf War. (Providence)
Albert Tanner
engineers his own death using his unique ability to generate a complete duplicate
body. He is recorded as being killed in an automobile accident. He assumes
the identity of Leonard Betts, and works as an EMT, to enable him to locate
the cancerous tissue he must consume in order to survive. (Leonard Betts)
Luther Boggs is
convicted of murder, based on a criminal profile written by Mulder. Authorities
believe several of his killings are done with Lukas Henry, but cannot prove
it. (Beyond the Sea)
The Church of
the Red Museum moves from California to Delta Glen, Wisconsin, buys a "ranch" and
turns the cattle into pets, because they are vegetarians. They refer to themselves
as the second souls of the first bodies, making them what Mulder later calls "Walk-ins," a
new age idea that holds that new souls can be invited to take over existing
bodies, and lists Abe Lincoln and Charles Colson as walk-ins. (Red Museum)
Esther Nairn enters
MIT. She develops a particular interest in automata theory. (Kill Switch)
Circa 1991
In 1994 Deep
Throat says that only recently has technology been available for the Conspiracy
to manipulate alien DNA, accomplish combinations of human and alien DNA,
run from Los Alamos. He says Zeus Storage, somewhere in the Washington
DC area, is where the first DNA transplant was made, and the first human/alien
hybrid created, with six terminally ill human subjects volunteering. Dr.
William Sakar recovers as the result of ET gene therapy, developing inhuman
strength and the ability to breath under water and green caustic blood.
A subject of study, Sakar soon becomes concerned that Conspiracy will not
let him live -- if you believe Deep Throat. (The Erlenmeyer Flask)
USS Ardent, a
Navy destroyer escort ship, is commissioned and launched. (Dod Kalm)
February 23,
1991
Dana Scully
gives an engraved wristwatch to Jack Willis for his 35th birthday. Shortly
after, their relationship ends, although she continues to have fond feelings
for him.(Lazarus) In Never Again Scully mentions various father figures,
implying unhealthy relationships, possibly including Willis, and Daniel
Waterston.
February 26,
1991
-
During the
Gulf War, a recon squad lead by Josepho is ambushed and takes heavy casualties.
They were about to die he sees what he considers to be a vision from God
-- four soldiers who he calls angels. The four, in standard military combat
uniforms, run in and engage the enemy. When enemy fire strikes them, they
are not wounded. After they defeat the enemy, they run off into the distance.
Josepho remembers the first chapter of Ezekiel, "And behold, a
whirlwind came out of the north and a brightness was about it and out of the
midst came the likeness of four living creatures and they had the likeness
of a man..." Josepho believes he is spared so he can deliver God’s message.
Josepho becomes the leader of a UFO cult that believes aliens will come
to rule the planet.
Josepho's squad
is actually saved by a team of supersoldiers. (Providence)
December 1991
Mulder receives
the assignment he has desired since joining the FBI, The X-Files, ending
his partnership with Lamana. (Musings...)
The assignment
is effective in January. (Inferred from Never Again,
which indicates January is Mulder's anniversary date for purposes of
vacation leave.)
One of his first
actions is to open an X-File on his missing sister. (Conduit)
December 24,
1991
Cancer Man
meets with his subordinates and discusses "management" of
domestic unrest operations, international elections, Oscar award
nominations, and controlling the winner of the Super bowl. Saddam Hussein
telephones, but Cancer Man says he will call back. Gorbechev resigns, and
Cancer Man feels "we have no more enemies."
He is attempting
to quit smoking cigarettes, using the nicotine patch.
After getting
yet another rejection letter from a publisher, Cancer Man begins a rewrite
of his Jack Colquitt story based on his musings about loneliness, sacrifice
and second thoughts.
At Dogway, West
Virginia, a UFO crashes, and a critically injured EBE is recovered by the
UFO recovery team working for Deep Throat. The EBE is placed in an intensive
care unit. Humans working around the alien use gas masks. This could be because
the air needed by the alien is unbreathable to humans or because the alien's
blood generates noxious gas. It has also been suggested that Deep Throat,
the Cigarette Smoking Man and their associates already know about the Black
Cancer and the retrovirus, and the gas masks are to protect them from infection.
Deep Throat comments
that the craft matches the dimensions of a UFO seen over Hanoi that the Marines
could not shoot down when he was with The Company (CIA). (Of course, if
they couldn't shoot it down, how did they learn its dimensions?) The
Cigarette Smoking Man says it comes at a bad time, because the planted Roswell
story is gaining momentum.
Russian forces
track the UFO, and pinpointed touchdown. KGB, Chinese, British, and German
operatives probably advance on the compound where the EBE is held.
The Cigarette
Smoking Man calls Deep Throat by the first name "Ronald," indistinct in the
episode, but contained in the closed captioning text.
Deep Throat unwillingly
executes the EBE, citing Security Council Resolution 1013, stating that any
country capturing an EBE is responsible for its immediate extermination,
even though a living EBE could advance Bill Mulder's project enormously.
Deep Throat states "Tonight we have a
new enemy," meaning the EBE. He calls himself "The Liar" and calls The
Cigarette Smoking Man "The Killer." The Cigarette Smoking Man says Deep
Throat's lies have killed many people.
Cancer Man claims
to Deep Throat that he has never killed anybody, or any thing. Deep Throat
killing the EBE causes Cancer Man to remove his nicotine patch. (All entries
this date from Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man.)
1992
Mulder's mentor,
William Patterson begins trailing a particularly gruesome serial killer
in Washington DC. (Grotesque)
Sometime in 1992,
Wilson Pinker Rawls robs a wire office of $90,000. He is arrested and convicted
but the money is never recovered. His girl friend, June Gerwich, finds the
money a few weeks after he goes to prison. Also in 1992, June has Pinker's
son, Trevor, but she has broken off contact with Pinker, so he does not learn
whether the child was a girl or boy until 1999. Bo Merkle presently moves
in with June, in the house where she had lived with Pinker. By then, June's
sister, Jackie, is caring for Trevor as her own son. (Trevor)
February 1992
Mulder's work
attracts the attention of the Conspiracy. They look for a way to reign
Mulder in without making him a martyr. He tries to access certain information,
but is blocked by higher offices. (Pilot)
NICAP, the National
Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomenon, begins following the work of
Agent Mulder. Using the Freedom of Information Act, NICAP obtains Mulder's
travel vouchers, to track his investigations. (Fallen Angel)
