X-Seven/4

Chapter 7
Doggett and Reyes given new assignment by Skinner, follow up on recent spat of clone sightings. No sooner do Doggett and Reyes leave his office and Skinner is contacted by a clone. Skinner demands to know how Scully is. The clone says they have located her in San Diego. They want the FBI to pick her up. Skinner agrees, sends Doggett and Reyes, but makes plans to prevent Scully from actually going back into the hands of the clones.

Chapter 8
September 24, 2005 Doggett and Reyes first go to San Diego, learn about the field station.

Funny scenes with Mulder and Skinner each watching Doggett and Reyes and everyone just barely missing seeing each other.

Mulder checks at front desk of hotel for message from Lone Gunmen, goes to elevator, desk clerk runs after him calling name, jumps into elevator with Mulder. Skinner hears Mulder's name, but Front desk wont reveal Mulder's room.

Chapter 9
Skinner trying desperately to get the cooperation of Mexican authorities.

Chapter 10
At night, Gary Seven arrives and gives Roberta Lincoln a new virus to modify the Prochloroflexus marinus to make it able to adapt to the ocean. Dana discovers Roberta infecting the bacterial cultures with the virus and does a test, discovering that she was using an alien branched DNA virus.

Chapter 13

Chapter 14
September 28, 2005 Doggett being assigned a new partner (Keri Ann Wold) by Skinner, and a new project.

Chapter 15
Doggett ignores new project and continues trying to find Reyes. Goes to see Mulder and Scully (now back at Scully's house in Damascus). Funny scenes as Doggett keeps making up stories and busy work for his new partner.

Scully suggests that Doggett tries to blackmail Gary Seven; Scully will not reveal alien source of carbon fixing bacteria if he gets Reyes back

Gary Seven arrives and blanks their memories. Creates a new bond between Keri and John, Fox and Dana as expedient for shifting their thoughts away from recent events.

Where next
Yes, there is going to have to be a second X-Seven story in which Doggett and Reyes are re-united. This has the potential makings of some rather heated and happy ending DRR.

Part II of X-Seven is going to see the re-uniting of John and Monica. I'm thinking that Monica is going to be tied up in an alien operation on Earth (think Patty Hearst) and be trying to manipulate John (and his new partner) while trying to double-cross the aliens. John will be forced to work on an assignment that he is uninterested in, but he will learn that it leads to Monica. Once they are back together they are going to kick some alien butt.

Maybe the clones can be trying to gain access to Skinner so they can manipulate his memory. They put Monica on some other "dummy mission" while using her presense on Earth to set a trap for Skinner.

Gary Seven will be trying to help Skinner (in order to work against the clones). Also using Roberta to feed Doggett clues about the case he is on, so he can figure out it is a cold "clones case" and actually leads to the current location of some of the clones (and Monica).

"cold case": several years previously (okay, this has to be the unexplained teaser for Part II) Gary Seven is on Earth trying to prevent the September 11 attacks. The clones foil his attempt to do so, but leave behind some key evidence of how they operate on Earth.

Doggett and Keri are initially assigned a new X-File case dealing with the theft of some Sept. 11th Commission documents. (Some funny report of Roberta "magically" getting into a high security document storage facility.) Then Roberta shows up at John's house with the documents and tries to get him to understand how they are related to the clones and Monica.
