[[WMG: The Science Club is comprised totally of [[TabletopGame/GeniusTheTransgression Inspired]].]]
The techniques they use are [[AppliedPhlebotinum wonders]] that they've worked on ahead of time, but only during the game have actually gotten to work. Further the alien world they travel to is not an alien planet, but a [[DreamLand bardo]] based on disbelief in plant aliens.
