General assignment

General assignment is an term for duties other than assignments such as the X-Files.
In October 1993, Jerry Lamana appealed to for assistance with a baffling murder case. Despite admitting that he would like to help Agent Lamana, Mulder implied that he couldn't, on the grounds that neither he nor his partner, Special Agent , were on general assignment due to having been assigned to the X-files. After Agent Lamana begged Mulder to help - mentioning that the victim, Benjamin Drake, was a good friend of the Attorney General's - both Mulder and Scully assisted with the case, ultimately finding that the case was a nonofficial X-file, pertaining to Artificial Intelligence. ( "")
:It can likely be safely assumed that Mulder was on general assignment during his time off the X-files in 1994.
