The Magnetic Man – Min The X-files episode

Hver torsdag kveld fra midten av 90-tallet og inn på 2000, var det The X-Files som gjaldt. Dette var absolutt min favorittserie. Så bra var denne serien at jeg skrev ned en ide til en X-Files episode og sendte den til Chris Carter, mannen bak X-files. I retur fikk jeg et kort med bilde av Fox Mulder og Dana Scully, signert (riktig nok trykket signatur).

The Magnetic Man er faktisk den eneste fan fiction jeg har skrevet. Dette gjorde jeg i januar 1996, da gikk jeg siste året på videregående. Jeg brukte InterWord på min Amiga 500.

The Magnetic Man

by

—————————————————————————

Something strange is happening at a university/college (or whatever school) in Springfield, Missouri. When some students are discussing Henrik Ibsen (the Great Norwegian writer) in the café at the school, strange things happen. Knifes, tables, chairs etc. (things of metal) is moving.

Later the police find two dead people in a hardware store, nailed to the wall with almost 100 nails each, of different sizes. The local police can’t find out what had happened, so they contact the FBI. Mulder and Scully are of course on the case. When Mulder and Scully are questioning the people near the hardware store, they find out that they are looking for a white darked hair male. People also seen that cars had been moved when the man had walked by them (the cars). Fox Mulder contact his friends (the man in dress, the blond long hairy nerd, and the man who like Dana Scully). He talks to them about earlier people who have had magnetic bodies, but they could only have a spoon or a knife in their face. They could not move large things like a car.

Back in Springfield, they are still hunting for the man. After 2 days they found a man who fits the description. They take him to the local police office for an interrogation. They took a test to see if he was magnetic, but the test doesn’t show anything. When he leaves the office, all the computers get a blackout. They can’t start their computer afterwards, and a quick check shows that all data on the hard disc have been erased.

Mulder and Scully decide to shadow him (follow what he does). Scully come up with a theory that the magnetic man, somehow, have the ability to control his magnetic field/area. She thinks he can control it unconscious, and that it happens when he is scared or nervous.

A new murder take place when FBI are hunting for the magnetic man. He runs in the sewage pipes under the road, and because he is afraid, the magnetic field is quite large. This causes the cars starting to move. One female got run over.

The sewage pipes end in a river/lake (where boats/ship can travel). The FBI search the water, but can’t find the man. They assume that he has drowned.
