Loosh Grid

A military black project run by a secret space program called Aranea operates under an agreement between the human Earth government and an alien regime who use human beings for their nefarious purposes.

This group is run by a powerful extradimensional spider collective which is connected a broad genetic human family who is needed for a variety of resources. One of provisions that humans give off that is sought after by these quasi-real beings is an emotional energy called "loosh," which this alien consciousness is unable to create for themselves and is needed for their survival.
