Stray Drone

FERAL TECH

Thirty-seven years of firmware corruption turned collision-avoidance into collision-seeking.

Field Assessment

Fist-sized to dinner-plate-sized, flying on degraded rotors that produce a distinctive stuttering whine. They follow patrol routes that no longer correspond to any meaningful geography — back-and-forth patterns along corridors, with erratic course corrections when corrupted obstacle-avoidance subroutines fire randomly. Individually harmless. In flocks of six or eight, all executing corrupted approach-and-evade patterns, lethal through sheer cumulative impact.

Diagnostic Signs

Stuttering rotor noise. Blinking amber status LED — permanent "seeking network" indicator. Erratic flight patterns with sudden course corrections. Residents scatter them with handheld electromagnetic scramblers.
