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 Lazarous 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)

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. (Sleepless)

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)

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)

1972
-
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.)

J. Edgar Hoover
dies. (Historical)

November 20, 1972
-
Carl Sagan, Philip
Morrison, Ashley Montagu and other scientists participate in a
symposium sponsored by NASA on intelligent life in the universe. The
session is recorded, and Fox Mulder eventually acquires a copy of
the video tape. (Gethsemane)
-
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.
-
Eight year old Lucy
Householder is kidnapped and held captive for five years in a
basement. (Oubliette)
-
The American Indian
Movement occupies the Pine Ridge Reservation village of Wounded Knee,
South Dakota, for 78 days. Law enforcement officers, including the
FBI, surround the community. A 43 year old Trego Indian man named
Ish is one of the activists. (Historical and Shapes)
-
The Defense
Department reports to the public that there are no further Americans
prisoners of war in Southeast Asia. A cover-up is implemented to
hide the fact that there really are Americans still held captive. (Unrequited)

October, 1973
-
John Lee Roche
claims to have sold an Electro-vac Princess canister vacuum cleaner
to William Mulder, as a gift for his wife, Teena. In fact, Mrs.
Mulder is given a Princess model, which she takes with her to
Greenwich, Connecticut 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)

keep looters away. For years after he has bad dreams about being
trapped in a burning building. (Fire)
-
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, 8
1974. The only American manned space flight in 1975 was
Apollo-Soyuz, July 15-24, 1975. The first orbital Space Shuttle
flight was April 12-14 1981.)

According to the
Bounty Hunter, posing as CIA agent Ambrose Chapel, around the
mid-1970s, several of the Soviet "Gregor" clones enters
the United States to infiltrate the medical industry to be ready to

A researcher
working with the Ohio State University finds data on a signal
received that was thirty times stronger than the galactic
background, on a wavelength of 21 centimeters. He is so impressed
that he writes "WOW" on the printout. The signal comes to
be known as the "WOW Signal," and is considered the best
evidence to date of a possible 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 one for Christmas. In the dream, Dana wears
braces. In the dream, Dana also hopes to receive the album
"Hotel California," which was released in 1976.

Henry Flankin has a
net worth of $30 million, as the result of one or more wishes
granted by a genie. He dies when his final wish is not specific

in which the genie lives, are placed in storage in Missouri,
apparently with storage fees paid long in advance. (Je Souhaite)

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
Christmas, 2 to 3 years earlier. Since dreams are not always true,
we 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

Each seems to have physical characteristics 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. (Kill Switch)

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)

Computer genius
Donald Gelman creates an interlocking set of computer viruses in an

Fox Mulder
completes his Oxford degree in Psychology. In the Pilot, Mulder

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.

May 15, 1986
-
The date on
Scully's senior thesis, at the University of Maryland,
"Einstein's Twin Paradox: A New Interpretation." Page
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 Fugative
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)

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 Mewmorial mental hospital
in West Virginis 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.

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 suad 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 Superbowl. 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.
