3 Offense	You take out the crash avoidance system. Unfortunately, even without that system, there aren't actually that many drones in the air. It's unlikely you'll get to see a spectacular midair collision.	?	Gain 2 XP, removes routine
1 Offense, 2 Command, Defense Other	The Crash Avoidance system seems pretty busy with something, presumably avoiding crashes. It doesn't pay your batch much attention.	?
View	From the documentation on this routine, it's part of the system developed at the request of the Metroplex government to help prevent drone-drone collisions. From what it says, there wouldn't normally be many collisions, but this software aims to take that number from "almost none" to "actually none".	?
4 C 4? C + 2 O	You drop some phantom signals into the crash avoidance system, sending the drone on a merry ride, but the system self-corrects before it can do any damage.		2 XP
C+V	You feed some false data to the drone and study the responses. The system is lightweight but it's obvious a lot of thought went into it. It distributes the computation and tracking over the whole drone network, so studying one part isn't particularly illuminating… although it is pretty interesting.	?	3 XP Perc
3 C+ 5 O	You drop a number of false signals, steering the drone towards one of its kin nearby. Then, before the Crash Avoidance can self-correct, you bring down the system… a moment later, you can see an explosion over the lake. It's not as spectacular as movies would lead you to believe, but no less satisfying for all that.	?	4 XP
