Combat Encounters

	Opponent	Encounter Text	Notes
	HELIDRONE	A helicopter drone swoops in through one of the many holes in the walls, strafing you with bullets as it goes.
	FLYING EYE	You hear the flutter of wings. Spaces melts around you and reforms into a monstrous winged eye.
	2 HELIDRONES	A pair of helicopter drones move past an opening in the wall at what you'd think is a safe distance, but they turn towards you and begin firing as though they knew exactly where you are.	Only with a PDA equipped and Juryrigged Antenna
	2 FLYING EYES	A pair of misshapen forms, orbs with massive leathery wings, fly past one of the openings in the wall. You take a moment to thank your fortunes as they fly past, but find them returning before you can finish the thought… as though they'd known exactly where you are all along.	Only with a PDA equipped and Juryrigged Antenna
