RE419S | Day 3 | Night | Audio
[ After dropping out of radio contact at the beginning of night two, Rust's voice comes crackling over the channel almost a full day later. ] Alright, I'm gonna make this quick. [ True to his word, he's speaking at a more rapid clip than usual, some of his words running together. He sounds focused, but without the intensity that tends to accompany it—he's running down a list. ]
Drones—least five altogether, though they go out in shifts—are patrolling the beach to the northeast. Jungle too, but they're more of a threat out in the open. Assume if you can hear that unauthorized transport announcement you're at risk. You hear a mechanical hum, you find cover and you stay still.
You don't know what a drone is, picture a worker bee without the queen. Or a cattle prod untethered from human conscience. They're metal, airborne, and, once they catch sight of you, very fucking fast. If they grab you, they'll electrocute you, drug you, and toss you in a tiny cell.
Animals don't like 'em either, and out here, if the animals don't like it, you don't like it.
Questions. Anyone here with medical knowledge or supplies? Anyone who knows about planes? I'll take practical or theoretical.
[ Threadjack away! Sorry this is like 3 infoposts in one! ]

The three drones here are out permanently, saw to two of them myself.
I'm an air force pilot and know about as much, practically, as a rocket mechanic. Did you find some wings on this rock?

Hah. [ More vocalization than laugh, sharp. ] Found a busted-ass cockpit right off the shore. Commercial, enormous, been there a long time. Was wondering if there was a chance of recovering anything, flight-path-wise.

But, no, only if the blackbox is still intact or even kept in there. Depends on the plane. Maybe if one of the pilots were chatty with a diary, but I'd assume you'd have found something like that.
Just the cockpit, though...did it look like it was broken off or shorn off?
