[ At least a claim like that'll be easier to sniff out as a lie. ] Heard it. Mechanical hum. [ He'll be seeing one in a few hours, though! ]

Whod you build it for?

[hyakuoku]

If you see it, can you describe it to me? Some drones are pretty harmless but some might have weapons on them.

I built it for me, of course. Well, for my search team when we were looking for something.

[aluminumandash]

[ Judiciously choosing his questions: ] Yours have weapons?

[hyakuoku]

Not MINE as in the one I built. But ones that existed where I came from did at one point, yes.

[aluminumandash]

What kind?

[hyakuoku]

Of weapons? Guns, missiles, anti-tank rockets, I think.
They can also have stuff like video or audio recording equipment on them.

[aluminumandash]

[ Fucking rockets? ] Any conditions they cant be out in? Storms fog etc?

[hyakuoku]

I'm not a drone expert or anything but I would assume it has to do with how they're built, wired, programmed. A really basic one might be susceptible to rain or water. Anything flying too far from whoever controls it, if it has no radar, then it's not gonna be very useful in dense fog.

Unless they're super heavy duty they'd likely have some weakness to electricity though, something like an overload on their system if it hits them just right.

A lot of this is conjecture, by the way. If they're heavy duty high tech military stuff then it might not matter about conditions and any of that.

[ Once again he's thinking of how to build an EMP, but when all he has is a bucket and some barbed wire, that's a non-starter. ]
