  1. Summary

    XFVCU, which stood for X Files: VCU (Violent Crimes Unit), was a virtual series that Deslea coordinated in 2003, picking up the story eighteen months after The Truth. A lot has happened - the planned colonisation has been exposed, the alien race appears to have withdrawn, and the entire period of the X Files history from 1990-2003 has been exposed as the surface layer of a deep cover operation to fight the conspiracy. The citizenry are reeling from the news, and hybrids and test subjects are objects of fear, curiosity, and legislative debate. Paranormal cases are on the rise while the conspiracy unravels.

    Now, the team - including deep cover agents like Krycek - are left to pick up the pieces. Their work has legitimacy, but it also has the spotlight. They're still players in a game, but whose game is no longer clear. The compromises of the war have taken their toll, too. Just because people share a side, doesn't mean they agree.

    The series ended after seven episodes due to a death in the family. However, each episode is a self-contained casefile that can be read on its own.

    Summary

    "They're going to attack."

    "Are you sure?"

    "I am positive. The moment I mentioned that we weren't going to remove the mines, we both knew there'd be war. Everything else was just words, a feeble attempt to lull the other side into a false sense of security. I didn't buy it, and I'm sure Weyoun didn't either."

    - Benjamin Sisko and Julian Bashir (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, S05, E26, "Call to Arms")
