Do you know what time it is, boys and girls??? It's time for ~Trumpeting fanfare!~ ... A segue into Scully's mind!!! ~Cheering!~
Excerpt from Dana Scully's personal journal:
10/19/2006
.....Some days are a waste of make up. And pantyhose. When Vahrley called me at the office and told me there were 'mysterious goings on' around Towns, I told him to document as much as possible and I would join him as soon as I could. If my mind hadn't been so preoccupied by the review board I was scheduled to meet with a few minutes later, I might have realized that he DID say he was going undercover as an Intergalactic Alien Overlord. *Sigh.* I really HAD thought it was just my damn cell phone acting up in the hallway. Again. One of these days I WILL buy a signal booster.
.....So I drive home after practically four HOURS of the GBI's answer to the Spanish Inquisition, looking forward to a nice hot bath and some blurry pictures of whatever odd thing Vahrley and the rest of the G-Team had stumbled across, but what do I find? Five people standing outside my house! On my doorstep! Pointing into the sky! And then there was Vahrley.
Need I Say More?
The man looked like an unholy union between a giant squid and Bozo the Clown that had escaped from the circus after dispatching the house lion tamer, and enlisted in the English army circa 1776. If it weren't for the dazed quintet wandering around my front lawn, I would have died laughing. As it was, I only caught his panicked camera-fumbling because I was staring so hard at his getup.
"Scully! They're saying it floated over your house and zapped it!!!" Vahrley, The Amazing Whip-Wielding Cephalo-Jester c** Redcoat, squealed and proceeded to continue fumbling with his jammed camera while people whom I'd never even SEEN in my neighborhood began to move away. "I've got to document it!!!" Unfortunately, by the time he got the camera to work, there were only two of these unexpected visitors left and I was still too shocked to do anything more than watch him snap a hurried photo (I vaguely recollect Varley cursing his tentacles at the time) and ask what on Gaia was going on?
*Insert Image Here*
What Was Left...
.....The explanation I received was far-fetched. The images I was handed were ... mind blowing is the only phase that I can think of right now that does my incomprehension justice. Crystal clear, perfectly in-focus images of alien spacecraft hovering over and, in some cases, beaming shafts of light on, groups of people. I had something new to stare at that had NOTHING to do with Vahrley's 'disguise'. I've called the others over for an emergency meeting and I've already opened a new case file. Judging by the quality of Vahrley's snapshots and the eye-witness testimony he's gathered, this merits investigation. The G-Team will be doing more than Trick-Or-Treating this Halloween.
Note to self: Remind Vahrley that aliens are grey. And bald. Very bald.
Rub their heads.
Additional note to self: Call in sick and run to my therapist.
