Truth and Conflict - Fortune's Light

Portal stopping at Taelon Embassy and FBI basement

[These people hold the fate of the universe in their hands...]

The Taelons came to earth with a promise of peace.

All is not as it appears, and the answers lie in the hands of three former agents. One is Protector to the Taelon leader. The second - sworn to destroy them, and undergoing a change he barely understands. The third carries loyalties as mysterious as her past.

In their hands may lay the truth behind the conflict?

Truth and Conflict

This series came about when the series were scheduled back-to back. At the time (1999), I was working long hours, and Sunday nights were my day off. After seeing how many themes were common to the myth arc on both series, and how many plot holes and dropped threads could be tied together, I got the idea ?what if they were the same universe? "Policy of Truth" was started, and the rest of> the ideas came from that. A longer explanation of the history and myth arc can be found here.

NOTE: If you like what you have read of Truth and Conflict, you are free to appropriate its myth arc into your own fanfic, so long as you link here.

"Requiem Remix - What if there had been a third agent on the case in Bellefleuer? An anarchist commune perishes from a mysterious illness about the same time lights and mysterious ships are seen hovering over Bellefluer, OR. Having seen both makes Ron Sandoval, a young FBI agent, a big target. He meets two other agents sent to investigate the ship crash and soon realizes that not only do they know more than they're telling, but that his own destiny will be changed forever.

"Shards of Grail" - After Mulder's disappearance and Sandoval's hasty reassignment to the X-Files, things get hairy. Doggett's investigative team has come up with nothing but damning "evidence" that Mulder vanished on his own volition - something Sandoval and Scully both know to be false. Sandoval finds out the horrible truth behind Mulder's disappearance and must either betray a friend or lose a world.

Policy of Truth? - Eight years later, a plague has hit the Human Resistance, and threatens humanity itself. It's up to the Resistance's new, controversial leader to find a cure before it is too late. The only man who can help Liam save the Resistance? Fox William Mulder.

"Letters" - One agent writes, another answers.

Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity - The Taelons have pressured America into declaring martial law, and most countries have followed suit. Resistance members and innocent people have been rounded up and captured by the score, including Capt. Lili Marquette. To Sandoval, it?s a perfect time to set a grand plan into motion. He receives an unexpected ally when Dana Scully comes to him for help in rescuing Mulder from the Mothership before his secret is discovered. Sandoval accepts her help, but prays the Taelons don?t find out, lest he be forced to betray his former friend and partner a second time.

"If You Never Say Goodbye" ? A gravely ill Sandoval collapses in Mulder?s hideout, a video CD clutched in his hand. On it, is a sight that chills Mulder's blood - a train car full of medical equipment, with a red-haired woman undergoing torture disguised as medical tests. But, is everything it appears to be? And who is behind these experiments?

The Arrived - A Jaridian war fleet arrives, and gives an ultimatum. The Taelons and all their technology must be gone from Earth in a week, or the entire planet will be destroyed. As Earth struggles against the impossible deadline, a small ship breaks off and lands. When Langly, Augur, J. Street, and the New York Resistance raid it, they find a lot more than they bargained for, or can handle. Worse, when the Jaridians find out "The Arrived" landed on Earth, they speed up the deadline?
