Burning Skies Gray Tech

Gray Tech as seen in Burning Skies

Gray Tech is the name that SRPA researchers have given to advanced, technological objects that have been recovered from Chimeran towers, but are not of Chimeran origin.

History

In March 1952, a SRPA research team led by Dr. Fyodor Malikov in Station Genesis in Bryce Canyon, Utah discovered ancient components from Bryce Canyon's Chimeran tower, which Malikov's research team dubbed as 'Gray Tech'. Intensive study on the Gray Tech was conducted under Project Prometheus which reveal that the components were far more advanced than the technology the Chimera had in their possession. It is then speculated that these artifacts belong to another unknown alien race millions of years ago.[1] Specter Team was created for the purpose of finding Gray Tech before Daedalus and the Chimera do.[2][3] Furthermore, the Cloven were also keenly interested in the components and had been amassing the Gray Tech far more than the Chimera and humans had in their possession; however, the Cloven seem to have no serious intentions for the components and instead used them as religious objects for their bizarre culture.

Abilities

The abilities that the objects have shown is far in excess of anything seen from the Chimera. Examples of the abilities include:

  • Communication and transfer of energy between gray tech objects milliseconds before the energy was actually sent.[4]
  • The ability to connect and link up automatically to form new objects.[5]
  • Extreme internal complexity.[6]
  • Bursts of energy strong enough to blast through several floors of a building, Etc.[7]

It is unknown what will happen when the objects are fully combined. According to Intel reports, the combined effect of only a hundred of such Gray Tech components would have the ability to produce energy equivalent to over twenty-three billion kilotons of TNT.[8] The weapon that these pieces would combine to form was dubbed by SRPA scientist Julia Cathcart as the "Prometheus Weapon."[9]

Daedalus was close on constructing the so-called Prometheus Weapon in Holar, Iceland with the large amount of Gray Techs that the Chimera had acquired, and was stopped by Specter Team.[10]

Gameplay

Resistance 2

In online co-op mode, in Resistance 2, Gray Tech can be used to purchase new weapons and accessories at different levels. It is acquired by killing Elite Chimeran units and are also found in certain areas in a mission. In Superhuman difficulty, players receive double Gray Tech components than in normal.

Resistance: Retribution

During Infected Mode in Resistance: Retribution the player can reach areas where Gray Tech and Infected Intels are. Though Infected Mode is non-canon, an Intel in Resistance 2 reveals that James Grayson and the Maquis have found gray tech across Europe for SRPA.[11]

Resistance: Burning Skies

Grey Tech plays an important role in Burning Skies, as the player uses it to upgrade and improving their weapons.
