Nicole Parker Smith

Mulder and Scully travel to Oregon to follow up on accounts of a slaying by a bizarre lizard-human hybrid during a full moon.

While docked at Pierpont Drift, Dylan (Kevin Sorbo) decides to lead negotiations between two parties, the Chichin of Pierpont Drift led by Doge Miskich (Peter Kelamis) and the Than, led by Clarion of Loss (Nicole Parker Smith). Andromeda (Lexa Doig) is hesitant about the negotiations, as she does not trust the people of Pierpont Drift - a colony of thieves. At issue is the Hegemon's Heart, a sacred relic to the Than, stolen by the Chichin, now on display at a museum. Meanwhile, Beka (Lisa Ryder) and Harper (Gordon Michael Woolvett) take a look around, when a small alien named Beetle (Richard Side) steals Beka's customs I.D. card. As Beka chases after Beetle, she is confronted by Leydon Bryce-Hawkins (Anthony Lemke), and the two are instantly attracted to one another. Leydon reveals that he is the head of the Doge Miskich's security force, and warns that he is keeping an eye on all of them.
