Being the most knowledge of the team on the subject, I'll commence pointing:


Point to Ghost
Point to Moon
Point to Ground

GHOST is RED
MOON is RED
GROUND is RED

Blue is up!

Ah, good. I saved Ground for last, in case Ground = Dirt = "Dirt Cheap".

Kevlar is usually considered armour, but it's a material that IIRC has many uses. Anyone remember anything about what other uses there are? I keep on thinking of PTFE but that has to be wrong...

Helicopter, Organ, Hole?

A PARACHUTE would be made of Kevlar, would it not?
A Kevlar vest to protect your ORGANs

I don't see anything clear after that. Put a HOLE in a piece of Kevlar? Only it's supposed to not have that happen.

I think we should also go for PIN from the previous clue.

I'm not sure whether to feel better or worse that I would have been useless on the Red clue as well rolleye .

Kevlar:
- Vests made from use it to protect your TRUNK (but also maybe ORGANs?)
- Can you make a PARACHUTE from this? It was my first thought but I'm now second-guessing myself.
- I suspect it's an option for armouring a HELICOPTER
- It prevents people making a HOLE in you

Parachutes were made out of silk in WW2, I have no idea why they would be made out of a significantly heavier material.

Kevlar, IIRC, is a rather dense material which deforms under shock rather than shatter, and is one of the contruibuting facors to why it is used as armour. That isn't what you want in a parachute IIUC.

Yes, but does our spymaster know that?

I'm pretty sure Kevlar is a polymer fibre. It can be woven into a dense enough material to be bullet resistant, but I think it can also be used in lighter weaves.

Given that someone else independently thought it was used in parachutes, I feel a lot more confident in that now.

Does parachute make more sense than something that needs to be protected, such as helicopter and organ? And hole fits in terms of what NB (Kevlar) armour is supposed to stop.
