After the crash of an apparent alien vehicle in the deserts of New Mexico in 1947, MAJESTIC-12 grew like a malignant tumor out of the ruins of American intelligence until it subsumed the entire government.
By 1979, it was unopposed and the levers and controls it had on the government were total. Even President Reagan, when brought in on the "truth" of the Greys and their agenda was little more than a spectator on the sidelines.
MAJESTIC lasted in such a position of power until the coup and collapse of 2001. For 54 years, it stood supreme, doling out knowledge and technology in exchange for pursestrings and power.
But what remains today, and how do modern agents find their way in?
MAJESTIC has shaped nearly all agencies in American intelligence that deal with the unnatural; most importantly, Delta Green (the official conspiracy) itself. The methods of MAJESTIC have found root and have grown in Delta Green, which resembles the old MAJESTIC conspiracy more and more. Personnel, technology, methods and investigations — as well as the price paid for secrecy — mimic MAJESTIC at its height.
Could more than a remnant remain? Could Delta Green itself today be nothing more than MAJESTIC reborn? Almost certainly. A rich vein to mine might be the ultimate corruption of modern official Delta Green by still-living MAJESTIC operatives who somehow have leverage to pull the strings. What's worse than MAJESTIC? Serving MAJESTIC unwittingly...
March Technologies is one of the nameless military think-tank/developers that hover about the capital, but it is far more than that. It was a bargain struck in the new order of unnatural intelligence in the U.S. post-2001.
Those survivors of MAJESTIC with enough power to keep their heads demanded their own lucrative seat at the table, and March Technologies is it. There, these people ply the government with contracts for their vast list of subsidiaries, who each produce some offshoot of the unnatural, focusing it into some seemingly mundane technology.
Dozens of projects investigating unnatural concepts discovered over the lifetime of MAJESTIC — more than enough to power such projects for a century or more — are ongoing. Any one of them might accidentally spill out into the public eye, leaving a mess that Delta Green (official or unofficial), must clean up...
Many MAJESTIC researchers — among the most brilliant minds in the world — saw the writing on the wall before the 2001 collapse. Not a few squirreled away resources, anonymously filed patents, traded and collected on information gleaned from between the lines in reports filed from unnatural means.
Many escaped; forged new identities with the money they had made, and a few kept on their tasks, researching their own, isolated thread of MAJESTIC in private. Many more now are approaching the ends of their lives. Who then, might have a pique of guilt and seek to relieve their conscience? Perhaps a file dump to the New York Times is in order. After all, UAPs are often in the news these days, suddenly...or...wait a minute.
