      That's exactly what i was saying.  I was just pointing out something i 
had tried with my group, and they enjoyed it.  Not saying it's a permenant 
supplement, or that you have to use any or all of it.  Just that it gave me 
good ideas, and i intigrated some aspects from it, into the ME world in my 
campaign.
Like i said, IF you use it, keep in mind, that BLACK OPS is all in the 
backgroud, underground, as you said.  Just, as some people believe, it is 
now.  UFO sightings, crop circles, abductions.....these are largely 
unexplained in our timeline, BLACK OPS is just a way to explain it, within 
the game, and to give the players some things to think about.
