About the first episode, « Settlements » (10XR01):

The story takes place in present time with Mulder and Scully believing that the alien invasion has been either postponed or completely prevented due to unknown factors. They learn from Gibson Praise, now a grown man, that the invasion has only been delayed because a russian version of the syndicate has interfered with the aliens’ plans. Gibson warns them that colonization will occur shortly despite the russian group’s efforts, and that it could start any day. He tells them there is hope, mainly because there are some supersoldiers who are starting to regain their original human memories and who are against colonization, but this number is extremely small, and the aliens are killing them off one by one.
Gibson suggests that an alliance must be made with these rebel supersoldiers, and using their knowledge, as well as the knowledge from this russian syndicate, resistance is possible and colonization can be prevented. He also informs them of certain native americans who are naturally immune against the alien virus, and some of these men and women are already his allies. The whereabouts of Reyes and Doggett aren’t mentioned in the first pages of the script. It is also implied that the X-Files unit doesn’t exist anymore, and there is a problem in reinstating it because someone very high in the Bureau is preventing that from happening.
The episode begins in Russia, with a group of people including politicians, scientists and doctors discussing colonization in detail. They talk about how they already created structures, houses, entire neighborhoods where no human beings reside. These neighborhoods will function as traps for the aliens, because they’re built using a combination of different materials effectively substituting natural magnetite, in order to bring down alien ships during colonization.
The script ends on page twelve with a character whom the script refers to as Henry McMahon, standing in front of a private residence and observing the house.
