electronic device has been destroyed.

Spencer and Mulder go to this woman's house and she tries to stab Mulder and Spencer shoots her. The autopsy reveals that the woman's adrenaline levels were 200 times normal.
Scully decides that this rise in
adrenaline and an unknown compund also found could create a reaction similar to
LSD.

the Lone Gunmen, who tell him about LSDM, and
experimental insecticide that creates fear in
insects, a way of chasing them from the fields.
Mulder goes to a field at night and is sprayed by a
silent helicopter. He talks to a twon official, who admits that they've been using the

controlled experiment.

disgruntled postal worker, has been plagued by these digital messages, targeting his
phobia of
blood. Ed climbs a tower at the local college and fires at the crowd with a rifle. Mulder runs up and catches him. With Ed in
custody, Mulder calls Scully on his
cell phone. The call reaches Scully but Mulder stares at the phone which reads "all done. Bye bye."
