In the Conspiracy X universe, aliens do exists. The strangest of the aliens, would have to be, the Greys. The Nemesis source book, tells you how, what, and why, of why the Greys are here. Even if you don't plan on using Greys in your campaign, you may still find Nemesis useful, since it completely covers how psychic powers work, in the Conspiracy X universe.
The Greys do not have advance technologies. Their entire culture is built around their advanced psychic powers. This doesn't mean that they don't use technology. They view the dependence that other races have on technology, just as strange, as we view their total dependence on psychic powers. The only tools Greys use, are lenses, that allow them to focus their psychic powers. The Greys hold a great interest in human psychic powers. They have studied the psychic energies on earth and have been using their talents, in the are of genetic engineering, to create hybrids. Greys use drones to capture their victims, and once they have them on their ships, they perform their tests , and wipe the victims mind, of the experience. Some humans are helping the Greys perform their experiments. Not all of the Greys experiments have been a success. Their attempts at cross breading with dolphins, has resulted in a race that has turned against their creators. They have more hope for their human crossbreeds. An adventure is provided, in the back of the book. It doesn't take long to run, but will need more preparation, then is apparent. There are no reference charts, and I have had problems finding things quickly. The artwork is b/w, as in the other books, but is of a higher quality.
Style: 4 (Classy and well done)
