Sorry about that. College stuff.
ANYWHO, after being whacked a few times by drunken SCOM troopers, the engineer sobers up enough to begin spouting exposition in between thwackings. Apparently while you were on the way to Earth, Lucky came back in a stolen alien infiltrator ship holding a mysterious purple ball and making up crazy excuses for miserably failing his mission and causing the collapse of Hooper Sherlock's media empire, causing all news services to become far more honest and investigate all claims more heavily.
The scientists (who at this point had discovered the alien Space Cocaine had no physical side effects), directed by Ryan, put their newfound hyperproductivity to use, developing several new technologies through the power of their drug fueled psychosis.
New technologies discovered include MIND PROBE ANALYSIS, BASIC PSIONICS, APPLIED PSIONICS, ADVANCED PSIONICS, OBJECTIVISM, NULL ETHICS I-V, MONOPOLY, NOISE WEAPONS RESERACH, NOISE PISTOLS, NOISE RIFLES, NOISE BLASTERS, and SPACE COCAINE ADDICTION.
At that point Ryan and Laine got into arguments over who was in charge. As the Chief Researcher tragically fell out an airlock, Ryan took control. However, the Engineers, displeased with Ryan's anti-union ways, banded together under Laine in order to protect their rights. The Scientists, a this point higher than any sane human has a right to be, began attempting to artificially grant themselves psionic abilities to crush the more heavily armed Engineers.
Predictably, things went poorly, the scientists wiped out nine-tenths of the engineering staff before going off the deep end and slaughtering each other to the last man, and destroying much of their advanced psi-research. Ryan's status is unknown, and Laine is believed to have fled to the surface during the psi-attacks.
