It
was sometime in the afternoon and we were parked on a quiet street of a
vaguely decrepit looking town that we were visiting. There was a procession
forming and it was going into an old stone church about a block from where
we were. We heard live music coming from a corner. It was a black-clad
couple with slightly Ren Fair-ish looking outfits. They had musical instruments
which they were playing, and they joined the procession at the very end
of it. My sister, seeing this, positioned herself near them with her silly
xylophone. I think my parents were there and, pressured by their expectations,
I joined the procession. But once everyone was inside the church and presumably
the mass was starting, I slipped out and started looking for my car but
I couldn't remember where I had left it. I was walking up and down the
street when I saw the black-clad couple again. Apparently they didn't stay
for the mass either, pro bably for the same reasons. They saw me and we
acknowledged each other with a small nod.

Mulder's
mother, or her spirit, came back and explained everything to Mulder and
Scully. She was wearing a black, skimpy fishnet dress, and black thongs
underneath. She knew everything, even the names of the two races involved
in the conspiracy with the old men. The ships of the two races looked like
they were made of putty or clay. They were poorly made (props) and I thought
her story was ridiculous.
