From: "Michael Smith" Subject: "WE'RE SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY!" These are the Greys from my current space-campaign. They are TL 11, and are poorply understood even by the other galactic races. They employ reactionless drives, some impressive grav-tech and widespread use of telepathy and telepathic technology. The "Greys" The "Grey" aliens popularized by Bob Lazar, Whitley Streiber and popular fiction are very different creatures than we have been led to believe. They are in fact genetic constructs made by a very advanced race of non-human life forms. They were created strictly for the purpose of observation and intelligence gathering, and to sow false information regarding outer space. Claiming to be "Zeta Reticulans", they monitor and observe the workings of the human race. "Greys" self-destruct shortly after achieving adulthood, generally within 1 year of being released into the hive mind. They drop hints and rumors about having "uplifted" human society and influenced it and tell stories of "enemies" and "factions" within their society who may seek to do harm on Earth. The "Greys" have come to Earth in dropships. Stealthed vehicles which use a contragravity drive to maneuver and use a Matter/Anti-Matter drive for power. The drives feed off of a substance called Element 115. Element 115 is a "stable" radioactive isotope which when subjected to certain frequencies of electric current creates tunable gravity waves. These also serve as the primary weapons system for the ships as well as a tractor/pressor beam system. The US government has been studying these vessels since the Roswell incident and are beginning to develop a limited understanding of the principles behind them. The "mothership" recovered from the Roswell site in 1947 also contained an apparent "FTL" or "Hyperdrive". The physics behind the Hyperdrive system are, in the words of one Area 51 physicist "maddening". Attempts to reproduce the drives using our limited understanding have met with several spectacular failures and success finally in 2012. The gravity wave generators and M/AM powerplant still defy duplication. The vessels use a sophisticated and powerful stealth technology, and sophisticated multi-scanning technology. The stealth technology has been incorporated to some small degree into many modern US vehicles, such as the B-1 and the Daedlas. What they truly want from us remains a mystery. Grey Physiology and Anatomy The approximate height of most specimens is about 5 feet. The head, by human standards, is large in comparison with the body. Facial features show a pair of eyes described as large, sunken or deeply set, far apart, and almond shaped. No ear lobes or apertures on the side of the head were seen. The nose is vague. The mouth area is a small slit. It appears not to function as a means for communication or for food intake. Greys are completely hairless. In one instance there was a socket opening in the right frontal lobe area, revealing a crystalline network of seemingly artificial nature interlaced with the cranial tissue. This network implies the development of a sophisticated implanted computer systems. The arms are described as long and thin, reaching down to the knee section. The hands each contain four fingers and and a thumb. According to most observers, the skin is grey. No reproductive organs or capabilities are evident. * There are over 1,000 humans in the United States alone who are the offspring of intergalactic or extragalactic beings and terrestrial humans. (The son of an acquaintance of (deleted in original) is one.) * Throughout recorded history, as well as during prehistoric times, there has been constant genetic manipulation of and interbreeding with humans in order to breed out the less evolved simian traits. The Nordic races have participated in this from the beginning, and we are as much a part of them as we might suppose. * Greys have the ability to camouflage themselves as humans through the use of a sophisticated "plastic substance" that is layered by sprayers over the "Grey". This allows it to mimic a human down to muscle and body language. The substance may actually be some form of living organism. * Terrestrial human females can be impregnated either on board ship or while they sleep in their homes through genetic hybridization techniques. What are they really? The actual power behind the Greys seems to be cultivating the human race for some unknown purpose. Nudging our development and cultural advancement. The Greys are a hivemind, with each "hive" being responsible for directing an entire "project" (i.e. earth is a "project"). The central hive mind's location is unknown. Greys are artificial bioroids force grown by the hive. Once the Grey is grown to adulthood, it has a "caste" downloaded into it, giving it certain hardwired skills. All Greys possess the personality of the central hive mind. There are no individuals, only the one mind which is many. The drones have an extremely short lifespan (a side-effect of the forced growth process) and once they fail their first aging roll, they self-destruct, rather than impair the hive. Greys resemble short, hairless humanoids with huge black eyes. They have the requisite five-fingers and toes, a slit-like mouth, small nostrils and no sexual organs. Studies by Area 51 scientists have revealed that Greys are genetically-similar to humans, with the requisite 50,000 to 100,000 genes, many are identical to humans. Organ arrangement and basic design is also similar. However many organs seem to serve no function and appear atrophied (such as the stomach, vocal chords and nasal passages), while the liver seems enhanced to deal with all forms of toxins, including radiation. Greys do not eat as we know the concept, rather they absorb nutrients directly through their tough, cartilaginous skin. Grey technology allows them to create "hybrids" between humans and Greys, all such creations are sterile and possess their own personalities and distinct skills (although many are telepathically "endowed" with the Soldier caste template). Hybrids also tend to possess the immunities to disease, poison and radiation as well as some level of telepathic ability. Some are obviously part-alien, others bear only the characteristics of their human "parent". The most successful seem to possess advantages like Hard-to-Kill, High Pain Threshold, Damage Resistance and even abilities such as Regeneration, Hyper-Strength or Hyper-Reflexes. All known Hybrids are 100% loyal to the hive. It is theorized that a "master-race" is behind the Greys, using them as its arms, legs, eyes and voice throughout the galaxy. Whoever these mysterious beings are, they have chosen to hide themselves from just about every other known race. Only the Martians, Nordics, NoSsa and Gykhal seem to know about the Greys, the Nordics are just as enigmatic, the Martians seem to hate humans as much as they hate Greys, the NoSsa never had direct contact with them and the Gykhal remain silent.

Auemifesh Disguise Developed by the Gykhal originally. Auemifesh are biological symbionts that adhere to the body of a Grey and allow it to mimic human form and proportions. Each Auemifesh responds to telepathic signals from the host, allowing it to shapechange into any form desired by the wearer. Auemifesh can be used to increase the height and weight of a Grey to allow it to imitate a specific person. Many sightings of Men-In-Black are actually Greys using Auemifesh disguises.
