- FBI Agents Mulder and Scully, investigators of The X-Files, cases involving unknown phenomena, arrive at a dockside warehouse in Seattle. Upon entering the warehouse, presumably while on an investigation, they are attacked by three armed men. Mulder manages to grab Scully, who is shot in the shoulder and take cover behind some crates. As they take cover, a bright white light suddenly fills the warehouse and the attackers are heard screaming. When the bright light fades, Mulder stands to find the warehouse filled with smoke. He looks in uncertainty at what is in front of him as we cut to the opening credits.
Some time later, FBI Agent Craig Willmore arrives for work at the Seattle FBI field office. His partner, Mark Cook, greets him with the news that Assistant Directer Skinner from the Washington Headquarters is visiting the office for currently unknown reasons. Soon after, Willmore is called into the office of his boss, Directer Shanks where he is introduced to Skinner. Skinner has come to Seattle in search of Mulder and Scully, who have not been heard from in days. Due to the nature of the cases they worked on, it is noted that the agents were able to work with a fair amount of autonomy, which is why it is unknown as to why they were in Seattle and what they were looking for, but they have never vanished like this before.
Skinner enlists the help of Willmore to help him find the missing agents. The two start their investigation at Mulder and Scully's hotel. While they don't find much, they discover thanks to some notes left by the agents that whatever they were investigating had lead them to a dockside warehouse nearby, as well as Scully's laptop, which is locked out by a security code. Skinner and Willmore continue to the warehouse, which is revealed to be the same warehouse we saw Mulder and Scully in during the opening scene.
While investigating the warehouse, Willmore finds a bullet lodged in the wall, some dried up blood on the floor, as well as crates filled with an unidentified black powder. He also encounters a fisherman named James Wong docked at the jetty just outside. Wong says he is just docking here while on a fishing expedition and hasn't seen anything unusual at the warehouse, but has seen activity involving armed guards there in the past. Willmore is suspicious about Wong's presence but can't find any reason to detain him. On their way out of the warehouse Skinner points out that there is a car that has been following them since they started their investigation. When Willmore approaches this vehicle outside the warehouse it quickly takes off, but not before Willmore can get the license plate.
Willmore takes his evidence to John Amis, a forensic scientist at the Seattle Crime Lab. Amis identifies the black powder as powdered lead, a common industrial component, but is unable to find a match to the blood sample in his database. Willmore also runs a background check on Wong to discover that he has lied about his background and has been involved in several criminal activities. He also runs the plates from the mystery car, to find that the plate details are classified. At this stage Skinner is called back to Washington by his superiors, but agrees to take the blood sample to DC where is can match it to the agent database, he also orders Willmore to stake out the warehouse that night before he leaves Willmore to continue the investigation alone.
Before heading to the stake out, Willmore receives a visit from Agent Cook, who takes an interest in the investigation and offers to take Scully's laptop to Computer Crimes to see if they can gain access to it.
That night, at the warehouse, Willmore witnesses two men enter the building. He witnesses them remove an object from a secret compartment in the floor before leaving. Willmore opens the compartment once the coast is clear to find that it is now empty.
The next morning, Willmore arrives in the office to find Cook unconscious on the floor. He wakes Cook, who reveals that he came in to work early and was attacked from behind. He looks around to discover that Scully's laptop has been stolen from the evidence locker. He also receives a phone call from Agent Pendrell in Washington DC, who reveals that the blood found in the warehouse belongs to Agent Scully. Cook also received a phone call disclosing that James Wong, the fisherman has been shot to death. Willmore finds it odd that Cook knows that he spoke to Wong that day, despite the fact he never mentioned it to him.
Willmore visits the warehouse to investigate Wong's murder where he meets Seattle PD Detective Mary Astadourian, the lead on the case. While no one seems to know the motive, Willmore reveals to her that he believes that Wong's death is connected to his case given that he was killed the day after speaking to him, Astadourian is inclined to agree. The two search Wong's boat to find that there is no fishing gear on board, just a few secret compartments and a jacket from a different boat named the Terrakan. The local harbor master informs him that this is the name of a Russian boat that burned at sea several months prior.
Willmore and Astadourian visit the Terrakan, they don't find much but do discover that the fire that supposedly killed the crew only burned the outside of the hull and not the inside, however the outlines of the crew are burned into the hull as if there was a blast of some kind, much like outlines that appeared in walls after the blast at Hiroshima. Willmore also discovers a strange metal sphere in the cargo hold, a payroll log in Russian as well as fingerprints on the bridge. Willmore calls in Amis to come and collect the prints.
Willmore and Astadourian then go to the morgue where Joan Truitt, the medical examiner reveals that Wong was riddled with tumors and that if he wasn't shot, he would have been dead in weeks anyway. She gives Willmore the bullet that killed Wong for analysis. During the conversation Truitt reveals that Mulder and Scully visited her only a few days before while also investigating the Terrakan fire. Scully had insisted on performed her own autopsy on crew members but didn't reveal he findings. Truitt also mentions that the burns on the crew are indicative of a blast of some kind due to the severe nature of the burns. At this point it is also discovered that the bodies of the Terrakan crew have been stolen from the morgue.
Willmore and Astadourian compare notes, and come to the conclusion that Wong must have been working with the Terrakan crew on a smuggling operation, bringing plutonium into the country, explaining a possible cause of his tumors and the supposed explosion at sea. They believe that Mulder and Scully were killed while investigating this and that law enforcement officials may be involved due to the extent of the cover up operation. It is also found that the bullet that killed Wong matches the one found in the warehouse.
Willmore returns home where he receives an email from Amis with a copy of the prints discovered on the Terrakan. He runs the prints which are revealed to belong to his partner Cook. He is visited by Cook almost immediately after discovering this. Cook is upset that Willmore hasn't been keeping him up to date on the investigation, especially since he is being followed by the same car that was following Willmore earlier. He agree with Willmore that smuggling must be involved and that law and government officials must be involved if they are being followed. Willmore confronts him about his prints, but Cook dismisses it, saying that he must have left them there by mistake when he investigated the fire back when it happened. The two agree to look out for each other given that agents have already vanished on this case.
Willmore stakes out the warehouse again that night, once again there are people moving things in and out of the warehouse, Willmore discovers an address written on a note inside a truck at the site only minutes before they all leave.
The next morning Astadourian visits Willmore with news that there has been a new burn victim and she has the while thing on tape thanks to a a surveillance camera from a gas station near the Canadian border. The video shows a man who Willmore says could be Mulder but video isn't clear enough to be sure, being approached by the same man that Willmore saw at the warehouse the night before. When the unknown man attacks, a bright light similar to that seen at the beginning suddenly flashes and the video cuts out. Astadourian also reveals that the crew manifest they found on the boat lists Wong as one of their smugglers, and that his tumors must have been caused by radiation exposure and that he was killed before he spoke to the feds. Willmore also reveals that he got an email from the lab saying that the metal sphere was a hazardous material container, further convincing them of the smugglers activities.
They visit the unknown man's body in the morgue where they learn that the burns are almost identical to those of the Terrakan crew. There are also no leads on who stole the bodies of that crew. The logo on the unknown mans truck reads Gordon's Hauling, a trucking company, Willmore also remembers seeing this logo on trucks at the warehouse. Willmore runs the fingerprints of the man to find that his records are classified.
Willmore and Astadourian visit the Gordon's Hauling headquarters that night, and while searching for evidence they are attacked by the same man from the video, who throws them into an office and them locks them in before escaping. Willmore notices something strange, in that there is a layer of black oil swimming over the mans eyes. The two discover a shipping schedule of deliveries being made between the warehouse and a rural route, which matches the address Willmore found in the truck during the stake out. Astadourian then discovers that they are locked in the office with a bomb set to detonate in only a minute. They are able to escape through an air vent and escape just in time as the Gordon's Hauling building is destroyed by the bomb, with their attacker looks on from afar.
The pair ponder what just happened, agreeing that Gordon's Hauling must be a front for smuggling operations by Russian mobsters and that the bomb was set off to destroy evidence as well as anyone who came in looking for it. Willmore mentions that he saw a layer of oil cross their attackers eyes but Astadourian claims to not have seen it. Willmore at this stage attempts to kiss Astadourian, who depending on player dialogue choices up to this point will either shoot him down completely, or say that she would love to, but wants to wait until the case is close before pursuing anything.
The next morning, Willmore comes in to work to find that Cook is claiming to have solved the case. Cook is planning a raid on a warehouse belonging to Smolnakov, a Russian smuggler. Cook says he has a witness, a homeless man who saw Smolnakov kill Wong. Willmore is skeptical, as he didn't hear about any of this until now but the raid is already planned, approved and ready to go so he is powerless to stop it. They leave, Cook noting that he has asked Astadourian to join them as well.
They arrive at Smolnakov's warehouse, where none of the promised backup has arrived. Willmore and Cook are attacked by gunmen and are forced to shoot their way into the warehouse. They arrest Smolnakov who admits to being a smuggler of many things, but never radioactive materials, as well as insisting that he did not to kill Wong. Cook locates a pistol in the warehouse, which Willmore takes to be tested by Amis, who is suddenly not feeling well. Amis confirms that the bullet that possibly shot Scully and killed Wong match the gun. Smolnakov insists that the gun does not belong to him.
After the raid, Willmore receives an angry phone call from Amis, who now knows that his illness is radiation sickness which he caught on the Terrakan while getting Cooks prints lifted. The boat is radioactive.
After returning home that night, Astadourian visits Willmore, furious that she was left out of the raid and that Smolnakov was just released due to lack of evidence. Willmore insists that Cook contacted her about it and is confused as to why she didn't know. During the argument Willmore receives a strange voicemail from a man claiming to have information on Mulder and Scully and to meet him at a military base the following morning. Astadourian leaves the apartment angry as their entire case pretty much just fell apart.
The following morning, Willmore goes to the base to meet X, the man who left him the voicemail. He claims to be an informant and insists that Willmore tell no one that they met. Willmore agrees. X tells him that the smuggling operation is a front for something much bigger and that plutonium is not involved. He says that Mulder and Scully were in pursuit of a man that is key to what is going on, but that this man is not what he seems and can not be harmed by guns, this man can only be killed with a small retractable blade in the back of the neck. He produces the blade from his pocket and gives it to Willmore, saying that is anyone finds out he has it he is as good as dead. He finishes by saying that Mulder and Scully are alive and that he needs to visit a Jane Doe in a nearby hospital asap before leaving. When Willmore also goes to leave he runs into Astadourian, who has eavesdropped the entire conversation. They work things about and agree to continue working together.
They visit the hospital as instructed where they find that the Jane Doe in the hospital is actually Agent Scully. She doesn't trust Willmore at first but agrees to help once Willmore shows that he is in possession of the blade given to him by X. She tells the pair that Mulder believed that the Terrakan found a crashed UFO in the ocean and were somehow killed as a result. While in pursuit of what happened to it they were ambushed in the warehouse where she blacked out and awoke in the hospital. She doesn't know where Mulder is, but encourages the two to visit the rural route address and search for evidence for Mulder's whereabouts there and will meet them after checking out of hospital.
At the rural route address, Willmore and Astadourian discover a burned train car full of medical equipment. Outside they interview a homeless man who says that the day before men in suits as well as military personal backed the train into the yard and set it on fire. He offers to sell them a video tape that he found in the wreckage of the fire, which they do.
Back at the field office, the pair meet up with Cook and find that the videotape contains footage of medical experiments happening inside the same train car that they found burnt. There is a subject on an operating table that appears to not be human. The doctor performing the experiences is found to be the same man they encountered at Gordon's Hauling, and the same man who was attacked in the gas station video tape. Running his face through the FBI database they find that the man is a Dr Rauch, a military doctor with a confidential record.
Out of no where they are then contacted on Willmore's computer by via video conference by three men claiming to be friends of Agent Scully, who asked them to get in touch. They inform Willmore that they have looked into it and Rauch is stationed at a secret base in Alaska and that is where Mulder was headed in search of answers. Astadourian sets up a charter flight to Alaska for Willmore, but can not go with him as it is outside her jurisdiction.
Willmore lands in Alaska, first visiting Rauch's home. When he arrives he sees a man, not Rauch, leave in a hurry. He enters the home and finds Rauch unconscious on the floor, covered in a black oil. He is unable to wake him. He searches the house, and finds Mulder tied up in the attic. He releases him. Mulder tell Willmore that he believed an alien craft crashed into the ocean and was recovered by the government, with the alien entity being recovered by the Terrakan. The alien entity is parasitic and can take over the body of a human host with the only way to know is a layer of black oil across the hosts eyes and self defends with a bright radioactive flash. Mulder believes that the alien creature took over the body of a Terrakan crew member, killed the crew and escaped, and is now looking to get back to its ship. After escaping the warehouse and dropping Scully at the hospital Mulder was in pursuit when the alien took over Rauch's body, kidnapped him for his car and drove back to Alaska, where both he and the alien believe the craft is being stored. Willmore tells Mulder that this facility is probably the same one Rauch works at which is why the alien possessed him and that he was given the location by the men in the video conference.
Scully calls Willmore, who reveals that he found Mulder. She says that she is on her way to meet them at the base. Willmore tells Mulder that he saw someone leave, which Mulders assumes to be the new host. Before they leave, two men arrive in a car outside. Mulder believes they are government cover up agents from the NSA and suggests they split up, escape and meet at the base. Willmore distracts the NSA men while Mulder escapes. The NSA try to convince Willmore that they will assume his duties and return him to Seattle, however he runs. They pursue him through the nearby woods, however Willmore is able to escape and make his way to the base.
When he arrives at the base, he finds Scully on site already, examining the base's staff, who have all been burned in the same way as the Terrakan crew and the mystery man from earlier. Willmore ventures further into the base to find Mulder standing over the body of the man from Rauch's house. As Scully catches up Mulder says he needs to access the holding door at the rear of the facility as a black oil swims over his eyes, showing that he is the new host. Scully and Willmore run, knowing that his blasting weapon could kill them and are separated.
While searching for Scully, Willmore is attacked by Cook and knocked to the ground. Cook admits that he has been hired to stop Craig from uncovering the truth, and that the plutonium smuggling story was just a cover up he had been paid to come up with. Cook tries to kill Willmore but Willmore is able to hit him with a nearly taser and knock him out.
Willmore meets up with Scully at the rear of the facility where she says that if she can get Mulder into an isolation chamber nearby she can possibly treat him, not believing that he is actually possessed by an alien. She knows that he will try and get to the storage chamber since that is where the alien craft supposed is. The lure him to the blast door by showing him that they have located the key to get in to it, and then successfully get him to pursue them into the isolation chamber where they secure him.
Not deterred, the alien entity leaves Mulders body and escapes the isolation chamber. It then takes over the body of Cook, who grabs Willmore, drags him to the storage chamber and threatens to kill him if he doesn't open it. Scully catches up with them just in time for Willmore to quickly throw her the blade given to her by X. Scully stabs Cook in the back of the neck with it, killing both the alien creature and Cook.
Back in Washington DC, Willmore is being debriefed by his boss, Director Shanks. They are grieved at Cook's corruption and death. Scully comes in during the meeting to say that Mulder is recovering and that they will soon be leaving. Scully and Willmore say goodbye, Willmore citing that he wouldn't have missed it for the world. Shanks sends Willmore home, saying that Astadourian has been in touch and said she may stop by his apartment. later that night to fill out paperwork, but implying that it is something more.
As Willmore returns home, he is confronted by X. Willmore tells his he will give him the blade back now that the case is over. X tells him that he better keep it, as he is going to need it again, and soon. X walks off as Willmore ponders what the future may hold.
