    Summary

    Written with MustangSally, who is not yet on the archive.

    Painted across the barren and desolate reaches of Texas, the shadows of the Project put additional pressure on Scully and Mulder's already fragile relationship. After a hostage crisis raises more questions about the Project's breeding program, Scully begins her own investigation, leaving Mulder to choose between saving her and saving himself. Finally, the investigation leads to tragedy and Mulder and Scully find that more questions have been asked than answered.

    The title reference was to an island mentioned in Medea, to which we turned for fairly obvious reasons.

    Take the warning seriously: extreme violence, including the death of children.
