Through out the X-files there have been voice overs aka. monolouges, here are a few that I have picked up!
"I had no way to reach Agent Mulder, to tell him what I had discovered. An unidentified microscopic life form whose very existence held the possibility of revelation. Was this organism extracted from the ice which had entombed the alien corpse the germ cell that might give proof of extra-terrestrial life or was it just the opposite. The scientifically engineered creation of a chimera, an unclassifiable biological product, designed to set up a hoax manufactured the false belief that has so long driven Agent Mulder. I now began to believe that the answer to this question might exist within the life form itself. Biological proof of its connection to the cancer invading my body, which has now metastasized in my blood stream."
"I have few short hours to conduct these tests before I must appear before an FBI panel to explain myself. And as I am ready to lie to them about Agent Mulder, I am also ready to confront them with proof, proof extracted from the organism that could blow open a conspiracy of global consequence."
"If my work with Agent Mulder has tested the foundations of my beliefs, science has been, and continues to be, my guiding light. Now I am again relying on its familiar and systematic methods to arrive at a truth, a fact that might explain the faith that has befallen me. An investigation that began without, now turned within.
By taking cellular material from the unidentified life-form and isolating a virus contained within it, then matching the DNA from this virus against that which I believe has caused my cancer, I hope a picture will develop. A picture that might confirm my darkest suspisions about the source of this disease invading my body, in hope of providing evidence that its cause is not without blame though its cure remains unknown.
If science serves me to these ends it is not lost on me that the tool with which I’ve come to depend on absolutely cannot save or protect me, bringing into focus the darkness that lies ahead.'
"It begins where it ends, in nothingness. A nightmare born in deepest fears coming to me unguarded, whispering images unlocked from time and distance, a soul unbound, touched by others but never held. On a course charted by some unseen hand, the journey ahead promising no more than my past reflected back upon me, until I reach the end facing a truth I can no longer deny, [picking up her golden cross] alone as ever."
From a distance it seems an abstraction, a magician’s trick on a darkened stage. And from this distance one might never imagine that it is alive. It first appeared in the sea almost four billion years ago in the form of single celled life. In an explosion of life spanning millions of years nature’s first multi-celled organisms began to multiply... and then it stopped. Four-hundred-forty million years ago a great mass extinction would kill off nearly every species on the planet leaving the vast oceans decimated and empty. Slowly plants began to evolve, then insects, only to be wiped out in the second great mass extinction upon the earth. The cycle repeated again, and again.
Reptiles emerging independent of the sea only to be killed off. The dinosaurs struggling to life along with the first birds, fish and flowering plants, there decimations, earth’s fourth and fifth extinctions.
Only one hundred thousand years ago homosapeans appeared: man. From cave paintings to the Bible, to Columbus and Apollo 11, we have been a tireless force upon the earth and off, cataloguing the natural world as it unfolds to us. Rising to a world population of over five billion people all descendant from that original single cell, that first spark of life.
But for all our knowledge, what no one can say for certain is what or who ignited that original spark. Is there a purpose or reason to our existence? Will we pass as those before us into oblivion? Into the sixth extinction that scientists warn is already in progress? Or will the mystery be revealed through a sign, a symbol, a revelation...?”
“It began with an act of supreme violence expanding ever outwards, cosmos born of matter and gas.
Matter and gas ten billion years ago.
Who’s idea was this? Who had the audacity for such invention? And the reason? Were we part of that plan ten billion years ago? Are we born only to die? To be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth before giving way to our generations?
If there is a beginning...must there be an end? We burn like fires in our time only to be extinguished and to surrender to the elements eternal reclaim- matter and gas. Will this all end one day, life no longer passing to life, the earth left barren like the stars above, like the cosmos? Will the hand that lit the flame, let it burn down, let it burn out? Could we too become extinct? Or if this fire of life living inside us is meant to go on...who decides? Who tends the flames? Can he re-ignite the spark even as it grows cold and weak?”
