Recovering alien technology through corporate power and investment

In Call to Arms, a large aerospace corporation finances the recovery of an alien ship discovered on Europa. Its public presentation emphasizes relieving governments of the burden, while reporters question the commercial incentive of exclusive access to the technology. The recovery itself requires years of development and a robotic fleet able to free the wreck from the ice and move it into lunar orbit. Scientists can then begin reverse engineering the hardware, although the builders and the ship's purpose remain unknown. Corporate influence over governments and the expense of recovery shape who gains access to the discovery.
