Scully: Mulder, these are test results. DNA from the claw nail we found, matching exactly the DNA from the virus you believe is extraterrestrial. 

Mulder: That’s the connection…

Scully: Which matches exactly DNA that was found in Gibson Praise 

Mulder: Wait a minute…I don’t understand. You’re saying that Gibson Praise is infected with the virus? 

Scully: No, it’s a part of his DNA. In fact it’s a part of all of our DNA. It’s called a genetic remnant, it’s inactive junk DNA, except in Gibson it’s turned on

Mulder: So if that were true, it would mean that Gibson is in some part extraterrestrial.

Scully: It would mean that all of us are.
