The two were at first an unlikely pair. Mulder is a former FBI fast-tracker whose preoccupation with things paranormal stalled his meteoric rise through the agency. Scully, on the other hand, is a medical doctor, trained to draw conclusions based on fact. Still, as their professional relationship progresses, even the skeptical doctor has had more than one experience that defies scientific explanation.

As the pair works to solve these unexplained cases, Mulder's strong belief in the forces of the unknown continues to challenge Scully's rational mind. Their relationship grows more complex with each case and slowly emerges as a heady mix of professional competitiveness, witty repartee and a personal intimacy due to the intensity of their job and the close proximity in which they work.
