i can take a look, but what do you think is not quite right?

absolutely, its on my shelf

but if you choose to use them, pick and choose what feels right to you. and none of it's going to save the PCs when the xenomorphs come.

i hope there's a fair mix of "this should do something, but we can't figure it out," "this is the weirdest flashlight i've ever seen," "this weapon-thing is totally awesome and i never want to touch a pulse rifle again," and "the void has looked deep within me, and i must go insane now."

still, you can't have a scientist in your group of PCs for too long before the grumbling starts that they never find any artifacts that they can pick up and use for something. so, here we go.

there seems to be a line in the setting between humans, who are always carrying around loads of junk to detect things, fix things, and shoot things, and engineers, who pretty much don't. besides that flute.
