They were both bald. With the resolute humor of military men. Add to that their mutual love of Moby-Dick, and it made Scully lose a little of her infamous cool.

Jean-Luc had not stayed either, but he had taken her with him and showed her worlds Mulder had only dreamed of. She had not shared the dream, but the reality was something she understood.

Starbuck finally sailed among the stars.
