|---|---|---|---|
| Offense | The guidance system is, perhaps unsurprisingly, quite well protected. A piercing alert ripples through the system at the slightest touch. | ? | |
| 3+? Offense | You crash out the guidance system, then find the entire system going down a moment later. It's almost as though the drone needed that for something. | (Disconnect) | Shuts down the system, unlocks one instance of Downed Drone on Tainted Shoreline, 2 XP |
| View | This is the drone's guidance system. Buried somewhere under layers of defenses and encryption are the coordinates it's headed for… but the coordinates are down there somewhere, which means you can change them. | ? | |
| 1-2 Command | The guidance system doesn't do what you want, but seems entirely aware of your command. A piercing alert ripples through the system at the slightest touch. | ? | |
| 3+ Command | You overwrite the drone's destination with your coordinates and are rewarded moments later with a package. <one of the messages and item rewards below> Relieved of its cargo, the drone switches to return mode, dropping your connection in the process. |
(Disconnect) | <various below> |
| Defense, Other |
The guidance system seems to have its metaphorical hands full steering the drone. | ? |
