Moon Dust Men: Galileo Uplift

*I was introduced to my supervisor and a co-worker and then given a stack of briefings on various projects, including Project GALILEO, which was devoted to the study of nine disc-shaped extraterrestrial craft that were somehow acquired by the U.S. government. I was assigned back engineering tasks on the reactor and gravity-propulsion system of one of the discs–essentially to help figure out what made it work.”

— testimony of Bob Lazar, 1989

To fight aliens, one must use the alien. Take it apart, reverse-engineer it, rebuild it, turn it into armor and sensors and weapons and aircraft good enough to win a war against an enemy from the stars. Tech and gear for your high-powered MOON DUST MEN game, powered by a new GUMSHOE “tech tree” subystem for bootstrapping invention and development.
