SUMMARY: Another glimpse at post-col Skinner.
NOTE: Set in the same universe as my story "The City 
and the Stars."


There was a time when I thought I could organize 
freedom.

I had administrative experience, military - I'd build 
and orchestrate the resistance cells, Mulder would 
handle intelligence, Scully'd keep working on a cure 
- in no time an insurgent structure would enmesh the 
country, and in a matter of months we'd set this 
nation free.

It didn't work that way.

Four years later, we barely have our foot in the 
door.

In this brave new world, the road to freedom is a 
twisted path through anarchy.

Most of the time, I'm out of my element.

But that's what friends are for.
