Also arriving on that meteorite was an already-evolved lifeform, an alien virus that has since come to be called Purity. This virus is sentient and is able to function by invading a host species and transforming it into an alternate, perhaps more ideal for defensive purposes form. It is unknown whether the alien race was present on Earth along with their early vessels, but, at some point, they came into contact with Purity and became almost entirely subsumed by it. It is at this stage that humanity is viewed as the perfect crop to be harvested, and plans are made to return to Earth — presumably once the ice age retreats — to reclaim it.

In the meantime, the newly reconstituted aliens colonize as many other planets in the cosmos as possible, spreading the virus and strengthening their ranks. Only a small number of these so-called alien colonists at least, so far as we know manage to resist infection, using their latent shape-shifting abilities to seal off every body orifice to prevent Purity from entering their systems.

The alien colonists make their long-awaited return to Earth in the s, where they encounter a comparatively technologically advanced human species. Several of their ships are unexpectedly downed when they are exposed to deposits of magnetite, a mineral that is toxic to them and which apparently also arrived on the planet thanks to that fateful original meteorite. The State Department is sent to investigate this new extraterrestrial presence — including, most importantly, what their intent to humanity is — and to keep its existence a secret from the general public, which the American government agreed to do along with all the other leaders of the world in order to prevent a global hysteria.

Eventually, after 26 years of investigation, the top-secret group within State pieced together the colonization project and realized that they had no hope of preventing its commencement. Instead, they made a bargain with the aliens: in exchange for them not launching a series of nukes and plunging the planet into another ice age, they and their families would be spared the viral apocalypse. In return, the government agents pledged to lay the groundwork for the invasion and to ensure that everything transpires as smoothly as possible.

In this way, the project originally contained within the American government quietly became a global Syndicate. What neither side realized was that each had a secret. The alien colonists allowed their human collaborates to believe that Purity would transform all of humanity into mind-controlled zombies instead of being fodder for their reproduction. For their part, the Syndicate labored to create a vaccine to Purity, to stave off the colonization altogether or, at least, to ensure their own safety.

Why X? When Dales retires years later, the FBI hierarchy is only too happy to have the X-files shut down — until Agent Fox Mulder, hugely successful as a psychological profiler and with contacts in both the Senate and the State Department thanks to his father , is able to use his sway to reopen them. His initial partner is Agent Diana Fowley Mimi Rogers , his wife at the time, though both their marriage and partnership fell apart shortly thereafter. Davis , a member of the Syndicate whose plate of responsibilities includes keeping all of the various agencies housed in Washington, DC in line, recruits Dana Scully Gillian Anderson , a medical doctor well-trained in the scientific method — and a firm non-believer in the supernatural.

From March to May , Mulder and Scully investigate hundreds of X-files and slowly, irrevocably work their way to the truth surrounding both the Syndicate and the alien colonists. Although she is only gone for several weeks, the damage done to her in the wake of the experiments is immense: her ova are confiscated, resulting in her infertility, and she is given a microchip implant at the base of her neck.

Although deliberately dragging their feet on the hybrid experimentation, the Syndicate successfully transforms Cassandra Spender into the first perfect hybrid in early , which moves the start of colonization from its drop-dead date of December 22, to that very day. The alien rebels who have finally reached Earth , however, act first, seeking to turn the Syndicate from its self-preserving ways; when they fail, they instead gather up all of its members — save for CGB Spender, of course — and kill them.

The Syndicate and, perhaps, the colonization project seem to be dead. So, too, unfortunately, is Samantha, a fact which Mulder is finally able to track down in early Re-abducting the previous test subjects all throughout the year , the colonists infect them with a new type of virus that replaces the host with a near-identical copy but which is incredibly strong the replicants can decapitate someone with one swipe of their hands and nearly impossible to kill a metallic spine can regenerate itself and then all other tissues.

Mulder himself is abducted in May and goes missing for nearly a year. During that time, the FBI hierarchy sees an opportunity to insert one of their own into the X-files office and, they hope, begin the surreptitious process of shutting it down.
