If what you have said is true, then you are yet to be born. How strange this seems! Is time travel a common occurrence at the turn of the new century (it seems so far away), or did you simply stumble across us by accident? After only having shared an hour (perhaps less) with you, I tend to believe you have a way of finding trouble. You seem appropriately named for it seems you are a fox who found himself in a chicken coop. The problem is that the chickens attacked the fox. It has been a week now since our encounter, Mr. Mulder -- Fox --, and I can't stop thinking about you. Our last moment on the deck of the Queen Anne will be one that I shall never forget. I don't know what compelled you to kiss me (I'm afraid I may have over-reacted, but you can't argue that you didn't deserve a good shiner for your boldness), but I suspect there is someone in your time for whom you care deeply. I must have reminded you of this woman. If you've got any sense about you, you'll let her know how you feel. In spite of my shock and my need to know the reasons behind your instructions to turn the Queen Anne around, I have done what you said. How will I ever know if it was the right choice? Perhaps we will meet again someday... I only pray that this war will be over soon and that the "good guys" will triumph over the evil which calls itself Nazi. Fondly, Katherine S. P.S. I hope I didn't hurt you too badly, Mr. Mulder, but you may take comfort in knowing that my hand was sore for several days...
