About Invisigoth
An extremely prominent, city-wide announcement by Cate Carter on December 3, 2005.
“Invisigoth” is a character from an X-Files episode called “Kill Switch,” which originally broadcast on February 15, 1998. The eleventh episode of the fifth season, it was written by Tom Maddox and science fiction author William Gibson. Watching it also happened to be the last regular “family” activity Carter and Bowman took part in before she moved out in February of 1998.
The episode features a woman named Esther Nairn who goes by the handle “Invisigoth” and is hiding from a computerized super-intelligence. Both Bowman and Carter admired the wit of the name, with Carter saying that she would use it if she ever wanted to hide, because it was so clever.
This was exactly the name that Carter used when she alleges that she was trying to hide from Bowman on December 3, 2005, by posting a city-wide announcement about herself on the Tribe.net service, reminding people not to give out her personal information to strangers.
