I hope so too. I don't think I would want to go back if I was just going to kick the bucket. [There's a wry smile at that.]

Yeah, that's what I mean. I guess it's not around in your time, huh? Anyway, I'm a medical doctor and a scientist. I was assigned to a unit called the 'X-files,' a section that investigates unsolved cases that involve unexplainable phenomena. My partner is the one who worked in it before, but they put me there in order to debunk his work and shut it down.

[And a kind of real smile.]

They haven't succeeded yet. Not to keep it permanently shut down, at least.
