"No time like the present," she mutters, meaning no time like the future. At least they've got a way in-- no broken windows or conning neighbors necessary.
But as they step inside, an alarm starts blaring-- so maybe they won't get out of this without a call to the cops. Wincing-- this is so loud, God-- she looks wildly around for some way to shut it off-- lighting on a panel on the wall.
It's prompting her for a code-- which of course she doesn't have-- but logically, the code was must be something she chose, so it seems worth guessing. She tries 1964-- a flat, blaring note tells her she's off-base, INVALID ENTRY flashing on the screen.
Shooting Mulder a panicked look, she tries again-- and this time, her birthday does the trick. The screaming alarm cuts off, and the panel chirps, color changing to a much calmer blue-green.
