Purity, more commonly referred to as black oil, and called the "black cancer" by the Russians, is an alien virus that thrived underground on Earth, in petroleum deposits. The virus is capable of entering humanoids and assuming control of their bodies. It has sentience and is capable of communicating. It was revealed to be the "life force" of the alien colonists, which they seemingly used to reproduce their kind, as well as infect other alien races in order to conquer the universe. The Syndicate in cooperation with the alien Colonists developed a delivery mechanism that would be used to introduce the virus into an unsuspecting public upon colonization. Africanized bees, extremely aggressive, that would sting indiscriminately, would carry the black oil virus through a transgenic corn crop specifically engineered to carry the virus and to attract the bees. The bees would be released on colonization and the infected human beings would become a slave race. The Syndicate, however, secretly tried to create a vaccine to protect themselves, which they code-named "Purity Control." While the Purity Control project ultimately fails, a rival Russian shadow group was successful in developing a weak vaccine that eventually fell into the hands of the Syndicate. The plot to cooperate with the alien colonization plan was implemented with the aim of being given access to the black oil for the transgenic corn, in order to perform experiments with it in an effort to develop a vaccine. This attempt was semi-successful, as the "weak vaccine" administered to Scully while in the Antarctic alien ship was able to cure her infection and cause the entire ship to depart its underground residence. After the events of the 1998 film, the Syndicate, as well as Mulder and Scully, learned that the black oil can either take over a host's body or incubate within other life forms, including humans. Once infected with the gestational form of the black oil virus, a human host gestates the immature alien form after 96 hours, or sooner if the surrounding temperature is raised significantly, killing the host in the process.

Those troops who have developed cancer after being stationed there have struggled to get the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover the costs of their medical treatment for these cancers.

In 2009, Army Master Sgt. Jeff Skinner found that the secrecy of his mission had limited what documents he could get to the VA. He was 39 and fighting stage 4 brain cancer.

“The VA continues to deny my claims. I am desperate,” Skinner wrote. “All of my savings and my spouse’s 401K have been dissolved.”

Skinner had deployed to K2 in 2002 with the 1st Battalion, 20th Special Forces Group and was asking the Army to release classified documents to the VA about his service at the Uzbek base.

Army special operations command got involved, and Skinner’s appeal was finally approved, said his widow Missy Skinner. But when she looked through his paperwork to see what changed the agency’s mind, she could not find anything that cited his deployment.

“Nothing about K2,” she said.
