Her schooling in science and medicine have made Scully one of the bureaus most thorough investigators. Her clinical approach to investigations caused her to be considered for the assignment to keep an eye on Mulder and his involvement with the X-Files. Scully was originally assigned to the X-Files by the head of the Professional Responsibilities division, Section Chief Blevins. Her first assignment was to evaluate Mulder's investigations of the X-Files, and to file a report indicating whether Mulder's activities should be stopped or not. During their first few cases, Scully was very skeptical of Mulder's theories and ideas, and always sought rational, logical explanations for the cases she and Mulder investigated. Since then, however, her exposure to the X-Files has caused her to begin to question her beliefs in this area. In addition to her skills in detective work and evidence analysis, Scully's knowledge of medicine and forensics have proven invaluable to her and Mulder's investigations of the X-Files. Recently, Scully's father died, when she and Mulder were investigating a kidnapping. She has also been kidnapped, and had her sister murdered by a party as yet unknown. Scully and Mulder have built a solid friendship since working together. Conflicts with other government agencies and officials has recently caused Scully to place more trust in Mulder, and on more than one occassion, she has told him that he is the "only one" she trusts. QUOTES: "What I find fantastic is any notion there are answers beyond the realm of science. The answers are there, you just have to know where to look." "You don't honestly believe this is some kind of extraterrestrial? This someone’s sick joke." "Time can't disappear, its a universal constant!"
