MULDER AND SCULLY CONFRONT AN ANCIENT INDIAN LEGEND AS THEY INVESTIGATE A SERIES OF ANIMAL ATTACKS.

Deep in the Montana night, a rancher protecting his stock from a prowling predator shoots it when it attacks his son -- only to discover the naked body of a local Native American man. Tensions between ranchers and Native Americans flare, ripping open old animosities and ancient grudges as Mulder and Scully try to piece together the parts of this mystery.Mulder reveals to Scully that they are investigating the very first -- and still unsolved -- X-File, opened by J. Edgar Hoover himself. What -- or who -- is raiding local stock in so savage a fashion? Can it be the creature of local legend -- stories of a demonic spirit that lives in the woods, possessing the bodies of those who stray too deeply into the forest? Scully suspects the local mountain lion population is to blame, but after Mulder hears a Native American elder's eyewitness account, he is not so sure she is right. His suspicions confirmed by a victim's blood test, he races to save Scully, who is trapped in a dark house with a powerful killer.

"The marketers tell us that if cars were like computers the cars we would be buying today would be absurdly cheap and absurdly fast, but it just isn't so. I got my first personal computer for about $1000 in 1975. That is still what they cost. The graphics are better. The computer is bigger and faster, and doing more complex things, but that is what you would expect after 25 years of progress. My first machine ran at about one hundred thousand instructions per second and my current machine runs at one hundred million, 1000x faster. My first machine was so slow that it would take several seconds to boot up and would sometimes just go away while executing system code on badly written programs and I could not type for up to twenty seconds. My current PC is 1000 times faster, but the programs seem to be 1000 times bigger and slower because it now takes about a minute to boot up and it still goes away for about twenty seconds sometimes while the OS and GUI do who knows what sometimes and appears dead and will not accept a keystroke for that period of time."
