I looked at the posts, but they weren't very informative to someone who didn't already know what's going on.
<shrug> For example: I know it's not good to get bitten by zombies, and that Martin is a bit twisted. But where the zombies were, why they were there, how they were created, or why it's bad to get bitten are all beyond me. As are any clues the PCs uncovered.

So I'm asking the players for a quick recap/summary.
(Not you. You already *know* everything that's going on, what's important, and what's not.)

Well, I'm not a PC, but I play one on TV. I won't write everything out, but I'll answer the zombie episode.

Chris Carter, the creator of the X-Files, said that he divided the content of his episodes into two rough categories: creature features (or Monster of the Week episodes) and mythology episodes that worked within the overarching story of the series.

This was a creature feature.

Why they were there, and how they were created, is something the PCs discover through investigation. Cell 1 hasn't gone through that adventure yet. They are still going through In the Spirit of Crazy Horse, where they just finished the interrogation of Martin Lame Deer.
