Rating: G for goofy - read at your own risk. ************************************************************8 "Mulder! Get out of here. It's the network!" Mulder could only gasp as he turned around. To be surprised in the morning is a rare element in his field work. To be surprised in his office is an even rarer element. The monster, named "Network" was a 6 feet tall green ooze, sliming over the cement floor like a thick mass of salmonella paste. Behind this mass, the vague form of Scully could be glimpsed. She had luckily came in late this morning. However, in the werid fashion of X-file stories, Mulder was now trapped in his office - armed with a can of Coke and a 3 1/2 " diskette. Pungent fumes belched from the monster's belly as it slowly oozed its way into the office - blocking the escape route for Mulder. "Use the diskette, Mulder!" Scully yelled. .....the diskette? Mulder flashed his eyes over the diskette label, and read the words "GT". It was a long shot - whatever GT was, and however a diskette can stop the path of the "Network". Jumping nimbly over his post-Daliesque sculpture, on to his desk, Mulder flicked his wrist. The diskette hurled itself towards the "Network", spiralling itself not unlike a Ninja Star seen in "The Samurai". The "Network" growled mercilessly, bracing itself as the diskette impacted on to its form. Mulder did a backflip, landing cleanly on the concrete floor with a "whack". ....and the diskette flew. ...."Mulder".....,"brace yourself".... .....and the diskette hit the "Network" squarely between the eyes. -WHAMMY- ****** Mulder opened his eyes slowly after the loud burst. Scully could be seen crouched uncomfortably on the floor outside. They were both shaken - the green ooze that stood between them was gone. It was as if it had never been there - or was it? ****** KY (Don't back down to the Network) PS: This was all written in the spirit of fun.
