#amare session update

[swoomoo]

So, if all things go well next session, Amare will have a Salubri in her basement marinating and ready to be eaten. What we need however, is to beat their soul into submission to make the diablerie easier. So far I have a Hecata that will use withering spirit on them. She doesn't have dementation yet sadly so I can't mind fuck him. He is on a path that Amare is not knowledgeable on, so no humanity torturing. Gonna have to ask my Lasombra mawla for help on this one.

BABYYYY!

Fallulah's POV

Congratulations Dot, you got a baby! A few weeks ago Dot gave birth to a healthy little colt. We have been busy helping the new mother take care of the little baby, so we haven't updated much, as focus has been on him. His name is Amargeddon ME, and he is after Hedmark’s Amar KB (owned by Clarissa Mallinkroth) and our own Dot (Miss Dodo ME), and we couldn't be happier with the little guy.

My brother Ludo was very sure that we would get a tobiano baby (and that was actually the plan out of RP), but we ended up with a small, spotted colt instead! He is very small and spunky, though he keeps close to his mama for now. Soon I hope he can be taken outside, probably wearing a blanket, since it's very cold around these parts right now.

I was even lucky enough to get a little cuddle session with him, as he had woken up from a nap, still sleepy and lower lip kinda droopy. I got down to his level, and he really showed his gentle spirit to me, as his mama got some food into her system to be able to make more milk for him.

Even Dario was allowed to get close to the young colt, watched over closely by their mothers (Dot and Sarah). It just shows how gentle and friendly this little guy is, allowing the toddler to plant a kiss on his muzzle xD

Parliament proceedings live | Deve Gowda reminds about pending women reservation Bill

Parliament proceedings live | Deve Gowda reminds about pending women reservation Bill

The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed the Constitution 127th Amendment Bill, 2021 with unanimous support from the House, and with this, the Lower House is expected to be adjourned sine die today.

The Rajya Sabha witnessed extraordinary scenes on Tuesday, with Opposition members, majority of whom dressed in black or sporting black bands, clambered onto the table in front of the Chair, protesting against the government for trying to push through a diluted debate on the farmers’ issue instead of going for a repeal of the three controversial farm laws. The protests are expected to continue today in the Upper House.

Here are the latest updates:

Rajya Sabha | 4.10 pm

K. Raveendra Kumar (TDP) recalls the crucial role in implementing reservation for OBC community.

Centre is compelled to bring this Bill after the Supreme Court judgment, he says.

He says the latest census should include caste enumeration. Without these figures we can’t make proper policy for the country, he says.

Sardar Balwinder Singh Bhunder (SAD) speaks in Punjabi. Some members complain they are not able to get the translation. The Chair asks him to speak in Hindi or English.  He says he wholeheartedly welcomes the Bill. This is the first time the Centre has restored powers taken from states since 1947.

The farmers protesting today are poor and frustrated. This is injustice with Punjab. Now you have the chance to repeal the 3 farm laws, he adds.

Rajya Sabha | 4.00 pm

Deve Gowda reminds about pending women reservation Bill

Former Prime Minister Deve Gowda welcome the Bill. Reservation in Karnataka was started by Maharaja of Mysore in 1918.

In the last session, the government 10% reservation for EWS over and above the existing system. Will the cap now be 60% now, he seeks clarification.

He says during his tenure, Rajya Sabha approved women reservation. It should be brought to Lok Sabha.

Karnataka provides 23% reservation to OBCs. Within that Muslims are also included and there was no opposition. Let the government clarify if such a reservation is possible after this Bill is passed.

Rajya Sabha | 4.00 pm

Include Dalit Muslims and Dalit Christians in SC list: Abdul Wahab

Abdul Wahab (IUML) says he was surprised the government brought this Bill in this session. Dharmendra Pradhan talked about giving petrol pumps to OBCs. If you privatise all institutions, who will give them jobs, he asks.

He recalls anti-Mandal protest and an upper caste youth who self immolated himself in 1990.

He reads out the abysmally low proportion of OBC faculty in higher education. He says in most cases, they stamp NFS (none found suitable) to evade reservation.

He demands including Dalit Muslims and Dalit Christians in SC list.

Rajya Sabha | 3.35 pm

Modi ensured reservation does not get lapsed if vacancy is not filled in IIT teaching posts: Dhrmendra Pradhan

Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan lauds the House for a constructive debate. Some members questioned the language of the 102nd Constitutional Amendment Act. It was drafted by the Select Committee. The then Minister had clearly said there will be two lists — one for state, one for Centre.

This is not a knee jerk reaction of our government. Noone should doubt our intention. Some members of DMK raised IITs were not following reservation. It was a news for me. Then we found out the reservation lapses if the vacancy was not filled up. Mr. Modi ensured the reservation does not get lapsed, he says.

We implemented OBC reservation in Jawahar Vidyalayas.  He lists out how they ensured petrol pump licences were offered to many OBC people.

On why a cap on reservation, he says over 80% States have crossed the cap. He says many welfare schemes of NDA government uses the same census data.

He says his father was also part of the then Madras Presidency. It was because of their BC scholarship, his father could become a doctor and he himself could be part of Creamy Layer.

Rajya Sabha | 3.35 pm

Reservation is for the self-respect: Thambi Durai

M. Thambi Durai (AIADMK) says the Bill will go a long way in ensuring equitable distribution of resources. He recalls the contributions of Periyar, Anna, MGR and Jayalaithaa. Reservation is for the self-respect, he says.

He recalls how Justice Party brought reservation in Madras Presidency in 1921.

Rajya Sabha | 3.25 pm

Odisha has started its own caste enumeration: Amar Patnaik

Amar Patnaik (BJD) narrates how Odisha provided social justice despite the Indira Sawhney case. He says Odisha wanted to provide 27% reservation for SEBC, but are able to provide 11.2%.

The Indira Sawhney case highlights that there is no scientific data to support reservation. The government of Odisha has started collecting data by its own since March.

Rajya Sabha | 3.15 pm

A speech targetting Congress

Harnath Singh Yadav (BJP) hits out at Congress. He claims in 70 years, the grand old party has not done much for the OBCs.

He wonders why the Congress and UPA couldn’t grant constitutional status to the OBC Commission. His entire speech is targetted against Congress. He claims Sardar Patel was not allowed to become PM because he was the son of a farmer. Congress members object to it.

The Chair asks him to end his speech citing paucity of time.

Rajya Sabha | 3.10 pm

Meritorious people should not be included in reservation: Rajmani Patel

Rajmani Patel (Congress) says the several opposition parties have forced the government to bring this Bill by approaching the court.

Had the government’s intention was favouring OBCs, they would have not gone on the roads with Kamandal, he says.

Congress brought reservation for OBCs in Madhya Pradesh. The subsequent BJP governments didn’t take it up and the Supreme Court struck it down. Whereas Tamil Nadu fought well and ensured 69% reservation continues there, he says.

He seeks change in the roster within reservation with binary roster.  Even animals are counted, why can’t OBCs be counted, he asks pitching for caste cesnsus. He also seeks reservation in promotion. Meritorious people should not be included in reservation but should be alloted in general category, he says.

Rajya Sabha | 2.55 pm

You are shedding crocodile tears, Binoy Viswam tells government

Binoy Viswam (CPI-M) while supporting the Bill terms it election adjust Bill. B.R. Ambedkar must be weeping now. It was V.P. Singh that brought justice to his words. Who raised the slogan Mandal vs. Kamandal? Who raised Mandir to hide Mandal? he asks.

He quotes M.S. Golwalkar’s words against quota. Now that BJP, with thought of votes, is coming with a Bill on reservation. Please don’t cheat the country, he says.

You are supporting people who raped and murdered young Dalit girls and you are shedding crocodile tears for Dalits, and OBCS, he tells BJP.

War of words between Sanjay Singh and Naqvi

G.K. Vasan (TMC-M) says the Bill will uplifit the OBCs socially and economically.

Sanjay Singh (AAP) supports the Bill. He says the government’s claims on OBC welfare are laughable. He shows Uttar Pradesh OBC report flagging the reserved teachers post not filled yet. He also speaks on Hathras rape and murder, the atrocities against Dalits in Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat.

Deputy Leader of the Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi seeks expunging the references of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister. Jairam Ramesh supports Sanjay Singh. The Chair says it will be reviewed.

 Indira Sawhney case should be revisited: NCP

Vandana Chavan (NCP) also supports the Bill. Let us ask ourselves if the 102nd Constitutional Amendment passed the test of being unambigious. She wonders if the earlier amendment was only to seed the protests.

This Bill gives powers to the State, unfortunately without action, she says. The Indira Sawhney case should be revisited, she says.

She says the migrated people are also a deprived lot. They should also be considered for reservation.

Rajya Sabha | 2.30 pm

Narendra Jadhav, nominated member, also supports the Bill.  He says nearly 1/5th of the OBCs would have lost the benefits of reservation had the Bill was not brought in.

Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena) says he supports the Bill and will talk about Pegasus in the evening.

He recalls the Maratha reservation agitation, and lauds the youngters for taking part in a peaceful protest. However, he says the issue is far from over, despite the passage of the Bill. Only the removal of the ceiling limit can provide a permanent solution, he says. 

Rajya Sabha | 2.25 pm

Change your mentality on caste enumeration: Manoj Jha

Manoj Jha (RJD) terms it a historical moment when the House is unitedly supporting a Bill. He remembers former member and writer Tulsiram, a Dalit who faced discrimination while he was in school.

Many members have asked several times requested to make public the caste census data. He recalls how a BJP member in Lok Sabha demanded it yesterday. “It is not a Freudian Slip, it came from her heart,” he says.

He pitches for proportional representation. Recalling BJP’s earlier statement that we are ready for categories but not for caste enumeration, Mr. Jha says this mentality should change.

Rajya Sabha | 2.20 pm

Time to make Lohia’s vision a reality: JD-U

Rajya Sabha | 2.10 pm

Act cannot be implemented well without taking a fresh caste census: Ramgopal Yadav

The Act cannot be implemented well without taking a fresh caste census, he says.

He counters Sushil Kumar Modi by listing the number of posts reserved for OBCs lying vacant in various higher education insitutions.

Rajya Sabha | 2.00 pm

When reservation creates inequalities within the reserved class itself, the state has to intervene: Kareem

Elamaaram Kareem (CPI-M) says it is a welcome step and the government is rectifying its earlier mistake. This cannot be taken as something to glorify the government, we all know its OBC policy.

The earlier amendment took away the rights of the State. The States could only send suggestions and the Union government can only add a caste to the OBC list.

After wasting time, the government has decided to bring this Bill. He also asks the government to review the EWS norms. Dalit Christians should also be included in reservation, he says.

When reservation creates inequalities within the reserved class itself, the state has to intervene, he says.

He also takes up the Pegasus snooping row. The unconstitutional attitude of the government led to this situation, he says.

Rajya Sabha | 1.55 pm

What is the scientific basis for 50% cap on reservation, asks Banda Prakash

Banda Prakash of the TRS asks, “what is the scientific basis for 50% cap on reservation?”

Govt. compelled to introduce Bill: Tiruchi Siva

Tiruchi Siva of the DMK says Tamil Nadu, with its 69% reservation, leads in empowerment and social justice.

Supporting the Bill, he says, the government was compelled to introduce the Bill as 671 OCBC committees were being affected. “This was done under compulsion. Federalism is not a suitable word for you (government). For you, all is unitary– one language, one religion, etc. But federalism is the core feature of the country.”

“Caste Census should be immediately conducted and the 50% cap on reservation should be done away with,” Mr. Siva says.

“We support the Bill. But our appeal to you, to bring changes in the interest of the people and not out of compulsion.”

Rajya Sabha | 1.40 pm

RJD happiest if States’ powers restored: Prasanna Acharya

Prasanna Acharya of the BJD speaks in Odiya.

This Bill will strengthen the federal structure of the country, he says. “RJD will be the happiest party if the powers taken from the States are restored,” he says.

He says the 50% cap on reservation should be reconsidered and also asks that Ceste Census take place.

Rajya Sabha | 1.30 pm

Will talk about legislative incompetence of govt.: O’ Brien

Derek O’ Brien of the TMC says to the Speaker, “Through you, Sir, I want to request the Prime Minsiter to come to the House, when an important discussion as this is taking place.”

He makes a remark on Pegasus, invoking a reference to “the Olympics god Poseidon”.

Making a refernce to Sushil Modi’s remarks on winning elections, he says, “we don’t talk, we do. We want to remind them of the elections in West Bengal.”

He says he supports the Bill, “but I also want to talk about the legislative incompetence of the government.” “We warned the government to go slow on the GST, although we supported it. In 10 months, 376 changes were made,” he says, as an illustration.

He cites the CAA and the farm laws as mistakes of the government. “The government did not listen and continued to make mistakes.”

He says the Trinamool has studied 98 Bills passed by the government, and “29 Bills are anti-federal”.

He asks why Caste Census is being done away with.

Mr. O’ Brien recalls that the government did away with reservation to Anglo-Indians based on a census that wrongfully said Anglo-Indian community comprises only 200 people.

Rajya Sabha | 1 pm

Sushil Kumar Modi is heckled in the House as he makes statements bashing the previous Congress govts.

Sushil Kumar Modi says a review petition was filed by the govt. withing 8 days of the judgment by the Supreme Court. “We have brought this Bill early, unlike Mr. Singhvi’s insinuation, as soon as our review petition was rejected.”

Quoting from the minority judgment Of Justices Bhushan and Najeeb, Mr. Modi clarifies the legislative intent of the Bill. Our intention was not to deprive the States, he says, adding the Supreme Court misinterpretated.

He says, “we supported the V.P. Singh decision of giving the OBC reservation. We gave constitutional recognition to Scheduled Tribes Commission. What did the Congress do?”

He makes statements bashing the previous Congress governments. He says Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government has brought in favourable changes.

The Opposition members express disagreement to some statements. Chaotic scenes ensue in the House.

Mr. Kharge says false claims are being made by Mr. Modi.

Rajya Sabha | 12.35 pm

The wrong of 2018 being rectified, Bill long time coming: Singhvi

Abhishek Manu Singhvi of the Congress, says, “The path to hell is paved with good intentions. The Bill was a long time coming. But I also want to point out that the government is only correcting its big mistake of 2018.” Mr. Singhvi was making a reference to the 102nd amendment made in 2018.

The government committed a mistake and the government is congratulating itself for rectifying it now, he says.

An amendment was proposed in this House, many MPs also made some suggestions when it was sent to a select committee for recommendations, he says.

He says, “as feared, the Supreme Court faltered in the interpretation of the ambiguous language of the legislation.”

Speaking about the Maratha reservation issue, Mr. Singhvi says, the 50% cap on reservation cannot be followed as a strict rule. He gives the examples of States like Nagaland and Tamil Nadu which have more than 50% reservation. “The Supreme Court will not reconsider this. So, the government has to, and make the change.”

Mr. Singhvi brings up OBC seats lying vacant ingovernment employment.

He asks why Caste Census is being done away with. “We did it in 2011. Why not do it now in 2021?”

Suggesting an amendment to the Bill, Mr. Singhvi says, “This amendment is clarificatory. But unless it is applied restrospectively, no State list between 2018 and 2021 will be valid.”

Rajya Sabha | 12.30 pm

Allow discussion for more than three hours: Kharge

Manoj Jha asks the Speaker to allot sufficient time even for the smaller parties, who have equal stakes, to speak about the “important amendments” suggested in the Bill.

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge tells the Speaker, he has the power to change the decision taken by the Business Advisory Committee. “No one is going to oppose this Bill…Even if the discussion time is increased by two or three hours, the country or the House will not be at a disadvantage.”

Minister Piyush Goyal suggests that the House sit until all the day’s business is completed, even beyond 6 p.m. “If we need to increase the discussion to beyond three hours, then we need to be on agreement to this.”

Member Anand Sharma says, “It is not acceptable that the extension is conditional.”

Mr. Goyal responds and restates that the day’s business will have to be completed, and “it is only fair that we agree to sit beyond 6 p.m. for it.”

There is chaos in the House.

Mr. Harivansh says the discussion will take place for four hours.

Venkaiah Naidu expresses anguish over yesterday’s events

Chairman Venkaiah Naidu calling the actions of some members as “acts of sacrilege”, says “I have no words to express my anguish and condemn the actions of yesterday. I slept a sleepless night.”

Mr. Naidu got emotional and said he was distressed to see the sacredness of the House being destroyed over a difference of opinion. “I am distressed as the way this sacredness was destroyed yesterday when some members sat on the table some others climbed on the tables of the house, perhaps to be more visible, was an act of sacrilege. I have no words to condemn the act as I spent a sleepless night,”

Remember, Remember - Chapter 3

I have updated it on AO3, but I realized I did not post it here. So here it goes! Chapter 4 is almost ready.

Thank you @peacenik0 for coming to the rescue with some vocabulary doubt I had way back when I started writing this chapter.

Previously: Chapter 1, Chapter 2

xXxXxXxX

Chapter 3

Someone is banging at the door.

And calling my name.

I try to say that I’m coming, but my tongue feels like sandpaper inside my mouth. Soft sunlight invades my living room window, announcing that Monday morning has arrived. I cringe. I had fallen asleep on my couch yet one more time. As I rise to my feet, everything spins around. My head hurts, my lips are cracked, and my knees feel like they are going to buckle at any moment. Still, I manage to stagger to the front door and unlock it. I don’t even bother to open it or to see who was on the other side; I just drag myself to the kitchen, fill a cup with water and then gulp the liquid down.

I sense someone following me and hear Byers’ voice asking where I've been. Apparently, the Gunmen had been trying to check in on me. I just refill my cup and chug the water down. He asks if I'm alright and, as I turn to look at him, he informs me that I look like hell. Not with those words, but I know that's what he meant. I just wave to dismiss his concern.

He extends a manila envelope towards me to which I just mumble a curt ‘whatisit?'.

“The report on that bee. We managed to find an entomolog…”

“I told you dorks to stop and focus on finding Scully!” I scream.

Byers' eyes bulge and his mouth falls open for a beat. “I-I can assure you that Langly and Frohike have been working on it since then, even though there are no new leads. But they are in front of those computers trying everything they can tirelessly."

“A van can't just disappear into thin air, Byers!”

“No, it can't. But people haven't gone fully Big Brother yet, so there are many blind spots around the city.” He sighs “I know she means a lot to you… she means a lot to us as well, but this is very important too.” He wavers the envelope. “By the way, you were right about that bee. It's all there on the report.”

“I must find Scully!” I bark.

“Have you found any new leads?”

I just shake my head as I stare at the floor. My eyes sting as if I am going to cry, but no tears make an appearance. I refill my glass and drink more water.

“You can not give up on this one; you can not let them shut you out after all these years. You and the X Files are the only ones that can expose this conspiracy. And you have the chance to do so today at your OPR meeting. You said it yourself: there is a real threat to people out there and now you finally have in your hands concrete proof of that. Let us handle Scully’s investigation for the moment and try to find new leads. You focus on trying to save what's left of the X Files… and maybe the world.”

I arrive at the Hoover Building a little late for my meeting, clutching the envelope and the bee as close to my body as I can without damaging anything. I run through the busy hallways and climb up the stairs because waiting for the elevator seems futile. The sooner I start this, the sooner I'm free to get back to finding Scully.

I don't need to look for the right place because Skinner is pacing the hallway and approaches one of the doors as he makes eye contact with me. He disappears, getting inside the room and I follow suit.

The place is spacious. Too spacious actually. It reminds me of old temples' architecture, which helps you feel the grandiose presence of God as opposed to your mere insignificance. Big windows with vertical drapes dim the place and soft shadows fall on the small table at the center meant for me; a lonely chair against them all: Skinner and four other people, sitting at the board in front of it and behind them, two people writing minutes. Indirect lights from the ceiling bring an almost glow of sanctity to all their silhouettes.

“Nice of you to finally join us, Agent Mulder.” Says AD Jana Cassidy as I ensconce myself in the chair. “In light of what has happened in Dallas, we are here today to hear your side of the story. We are aware of the delicate circumstances regarding Agent Scully’s disappearance, but the DA is adamant that we conclude this investigation as soon as possible to place responsibility for the catastrophic destruction of public property and loss of five lives due to terrorist activities.”

I shake my head and scoff at her last words.

"Have I said something amusing to you, Agent Mulder?"

"Oh, yes! I find everything very amusing! If this was an act of terrorism, like you said it yourself, the terrorists are the ones that should be hunted down and get the blame. Not those who managed to evacuate the building and save hundreds of lives."

"The fact, Agent Mulder, was that you and Agent Scully disobeyed the orders that you had received from your superior and you neglected to follow protocol at the attempt to disarm the bomb."

"The Special Agent in Charge, Darius Michaud, ordered us to leave him alone with the bomb."

"So this order you follow?"

“I just followed my gut, just like when I went to the wrong building. Thankfully, otherwise I would have been swept under the rug by Uncle Sam as well."

"What exactly are you implying, Agent Mulder?"

"I’m pretty sure that Agent Scully has covered everything regarding this.

“As I mentioned previously, we would like to hear your side of the story.”

What a waste of time, I think to myself. I let an audible sigh and roll my eyes. "The bomb was no act of terrorism. They were trying to bury evidence, to cover up a massive conspiracy against the public. The firemen and the kid were already dead before the bomb exploded. They were infected with an alien pathogen that turned their skin and organs into jello. I'm sure Agent Scully must have covered this part in her testimony, as she had the chance to examine one of the bodies that were hidden in the Bethesda Naval Hospital. According to an agent at the Dallas Field Office, the bodies were brought from an alleged archeological excavation that produced human fossils with traces of the same kind of infection. Maybe that's what infected the kid and the firemen; they must have come into contact with this alien virus."

"Yes, we've already heard it all from Agent Scully. And I'm going to tell you what I told her: these are very serious allegations, that are based solely on the personal experiences of two insubordinate agents, without concrete evidence or proof."

I walk over to the board and place the vial containing the bee on the desk, right under A.D. Cassidy’s nose. "Here is your proof."

I tell the board how Scully and I managed to follow phantom tanker trucks in the middle of the desert and how they led us to corn crops and white domes filled with bees.

“This bee was found dead in my apartment. It probably got stuck… somewhere in my clothes maybe... and thankfully did not sting anybody because this is a genetically altered bee. It carries a virus that according to…” I fumble with the report in my hands. “...Professor Amar Khan, has never been observed on this planet.”

“Who is Professor Amar Khan?”

“The entomologist I asked to take a look at that bee.” I continue “Agent Scully and I got really close to these people's stratagems. That's why she is missing right now!”

“These are very serious allegations, Agent Mulder. You seem to have proof to some points; that I can not deny. But others are just speculation. We can’t…”

A cell phone rings. My cell phone. Scully! I stand up and fumble with my pockets.

“Agent Mulder, you can not answer your phone right now. Sit down!”

But I'm already out the door, and hearing Langly's voice “We found her! She was admitted to the Northeast Georgetown Medical Center. They have contacted Mrs. Scully already.”

“I’m on my way.”

And I'm out of the Hoover Building as fast as lightning.

About 20 minutes later, I arrive at the Hospital, flash my badge at the reception and demand to be directed to where Scully is.

As I hush through the white hallways, her words from that night haunt me and I slow down. Maybe the distance will be a good thing for us, she had said as she was leaving my bedroom, with eyes downcast.

Distance.

I stop in my tracks, pulse racing and out of breath. I even turn around to leave, but the necessity to see her wins me over. Thankfully, there's a glass window on the door to her hospital room, so I peep.

She's awake. Her mother is there as well and they are hugging each other. Everything is fine with the world and I can breathe again. I can turn around and move on with my life.

I still don't understand why she decided to be away from me, in Salt Lake City, especially after that night. It hurts. But one thing I know for certain: she'll be better off without me.

Back in my car, my cell phone, left on the passenger's seat, rings insistently.

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

“Who is this?” I ask.

“You just walked away from your OPR session!” Yeah, Skinner. “AD Cassidy is furious and I had to spend the last half hour trying to save your ass. Why I do not know! I should have let them kick your ass out of the Bureau…”

“Scully has been found, sir.”

That stops him on his track for a moment and I give him more details of what I know. He informs me that he will send agents to interview Scully and give continuity to the investigation of her disappearance. A matter of formality, just to act by the book, because deep down we both know that the people responsible for her disappearance will never be found and brought to justice. As always. He also orders me to come back to the Hoover Building and finish my OPR session.

“I’ve got nothing else to add." I tell Skinner. "I’ve rested my case.”

“Be there if you’re still interested in the X Files or in your career in the FBI, that’s all I have to say to you right now.” and hangs up the phone.

I start the car and head back to the Hoover Building because I wouldn’t know what to do with myself without the X Files as well. Scully is lost to me already. And if, apparently, I still have some chance with the X Files that’s what I’m going to grab a hold onto.

As expected I have the greatest ass chewing on the Hoover Building. But what's new about that? It is certainly not the first time it's happened nor the second. And I'm sure it will not be the last.

The board was unanimous in believing that the evidence presented required further investigation and because of the nature of the accusations, the X Files should be reopened and have its documents restored. Skinner will be in charge of that process while they appoint somebody to work down in the basement. Yep, somebody else will be in charge of the X Files. And I… well, they don't know what to do with me and my insubordination, so I get a slap on the wrist until they decide if I'll ever get back to the X Files: 6 weeks on leave without pay.

I guess that's what leads me here, knocking at her door.

A strange woman dressed in scrubs answers it and, for a moment, I think I might have come to the wrong door.

“You've got the right place" the woman assures me. "I'm Keysha Jones, the nurse appointed to aid in Ms. Fowley's recovery. Come in and have a seat, she'll be here soon.”

A couple of steps lead me to a green couch, where I sit at and have a privileged view from the whole living room. I don’t know what I expected from her place to exude, but it was certainly not this stern feeling that comes from the dark wooden furniture, dark green walls, and white casing everywhere. There are many pieces of art on the walls, but no picture frames with photos of vacation or family. Everything is as personal as a catalogue from Pottery Barn. On my left there’s a double french door with curtains, probably her bedroom, and right next to it a desk with books on top. I scan through the stack. Among several parapsychology books some call my attention: Native American Beliefs and Practices, Western Europe Travel Guide, Tunisia Travel Guide. It’s the latter that most intrigues me. I reach to pick it up for further inspection, but the chance is gone when I see a silhouette through the glass and curtains on the door.

“Fox! I’m so glad you called and stopped by. You're a sight for sore eyes.” She motions for me to sit down on the couch, while she sits on an armchair across from me.

“How are you doing, Diana? You look great for somebody who almost died.”

“It's been over a month, so I'm recovering. I have to do some breathing exercises every hour or so, but it seems to make my doctor happy. I'll be able to go back to work next week. Desk duty, for a month or so.”

“Ouch!”

“Yeah! Never get shot in the lungs, Fox.”

“Duly noted! Listen, has the FBI offered something to you already?”

“Not yet.”

“How do you feel about some desk work on the X Files?”

“I thought there was no vacancy in the basement.”

I bring her up to speed on the latest developments.

"I really need somebody I trust to oversee the restoration of the documents. And maybe take over the unit in case I'm not sent down there after those 6 weeks.”

“I'm certainly interested in it. That's one of the reasons why I came back. Let's hope I'll get the chance to advocate for it in my meeting on Thursday. And I do hope you'll be back as well. It will be a pleasure to work with you again… just like old times.” she adds with a sultry tone.

I swallow hard as I feel blood starting to run South

After October, Kalank and Street Dancer, Varun Dhawan is using this lockdown period to re-strategize his acting career as the actor is in talks with several filmmakers discussing possible collaborations. Bollywood Hungama has learnt that Varun will soon team up with Stree director, Amar Kaushik on a comedy, which will be produced by Dinesh Vijan.

“Varun and Amar have been discussing multiple films for collaboration for a while now and they have finally zeroed down on an idea. Amar is currently developing it further and will have a bound script ready in a couple of months time. Varun and his filmmaker-father, David are both excited about the subject and believe that it would be a game-changer in the comic space,” revealed a source close to the development.

Apart from the yet-untitled comedy, Varun is also prepping up for the Arun Khetarpal biopic in this lockdown, which is again produced by Dinesh. “He is in constant touch with director Sriram Raghavan over the video conferencing, and the two are having reading sessions through virtual means,” the source informed, adding further that this would be the first film that Varun will kick off after the lockdown. “After Sriram’s film, Varun has the Sajid Nadiadwala production which is being directed by Kesari fame, Anurag Singh. It was Varun who got this project in place after talking to his mentor Karan Johar. It’s an out and out action entertainer, and was to kick-off sometime in October. But it’s bound to get delayed now,” the source added.

Varun’s next three films look diverse and very much within the commercial space, and we hear he is also in talks with Karan Johar for the official remake of Vijay’s Tamil Blockbuster, Theri. However, it’s in the very nascent stage at the moment. “Varun is now looking to balance in the commercial space by exploring different sub-genres. He is going to be a force to reckon with in the near future. He has learnt from his mistake and is looking to rise like a phoenix,” the source signed off.

There are several other commercial films which Varun has been offered in this lockdown phase by multiple production houses, however he is on a rejection spree and being very particular of what he signs on from hereon. Stay tuned for more updates.
