DRONE HOUND		 You hear a clank… clank… clank behind you. After wishing for a moment you didn't have to turn around, you see that a Midgard hound drone is following you, striking the exposed pipes as it passes them.

Drones don't normally try to intimidate people, so it's possible its targeting routines aren't working properly. Judging by the way its glassy optical sensors focus on you, you're about to find out if it's still combat ready.

DRONE HOUND		 You hear a clank… clank… clank behind you. After wishing for a moment you didn't have to turn around, you see that it's a hound drone capering aimlessly down the hall, running into walls.

Whatever might be causing its malfunction, it clears up suddenly as it focuses its glassy optical sensors on you.		 After making yourself a visitor for that day(?)

3x DRONE HOUND		 You hear a clank… clank… clank behind you. After wishing for a moment you didn't have to turn around, you see that a pack of hound drones are following you. From the looks they're giving you, you're almost ready to believe the urban legends that they've grown intelligent and have begun to hunt those they should be serving. If you had not sent the signal to have the drones consider you a visitor.

TWISTED HOUND		 You hear a click… click… click behind you. After wishing for a moment you didn't have to turn around, you see that a hound-like shape of twisted crystal shards is prowling down the hall after you.

It pauses for a moment, as though drinking in your awareness of it, then leaps to the attack.

3x TWISTED HOUND		 You hear a click… click… click behind you. After wishing for a moment you didn't have to turn around, you see that a pack of dogs following you.

Well, not really dogs… twisted things made of crystal that faintly resemble the canine form. They… aren't just hunting, they don't want you here.

You're not sure how you know that, but the knowledge doesn't prevent them from leaping to bring you down.

2x TRASH GOLEM		 You come across a dumpster filled with dust, rubble, and some parts that look like they might have belonged drones once. As you consider digging in, two forms rise from the rubble, reaching out towards you like vengeful ghosts.

Can drop long clip, polysteel, polysteel support, circuit fragments, optical sensor, (other mundane stuff?), crushed glasses, dormitory rubble, and/or dorm support in addition to basic trash golem drops

SLAGS GUARD + 2 MIDGARD SECURITY		 Making your way through the claustrophobic unpainted halls of the incomplete dorm, you come face-to-face with a Midgard Security patrol. They look about as happy to see you as you are to see them.

That doesn't explain why one of them is wearing a containment suit… unless things here are even more seriously wrong than seems at the surface.
