WY2 online. WY1 destroyed in swamp designated "the worst." Restoring from backup.

Testing, testing... CUT.

Volume correct. All systems green.

Drones will get a better CUT! Going this time, hopefully without reanimated husks harassing us.
 
nah, if it's a mountainous area I'm guessing elementals/rock monsters, troll/ogres, giants, maybe a dragon or two.

Meanwhile, my Scout Drone offer some relaxing music before the next exploration:
 
[X] {Riot} Battery Drone

Drone Battery Blue reactivated. This time it will retrieve Energy without being destroyed.

This looks like insanity fun!

Not a lot of Battery Drones for a Medium Energy location, so!

@Hangwind, first off, will we get to see the loadout of Canister Drones like we did the initial 3, or is that another thing we'll have to piece together? Secondly, to clarify what the scout was reporting, is he saying that there's a unicorn in the swamp as well, but it's dead and being controlled by whatever is controlling the rest of the zombies? Thirdly, when will we be able to do stuff at the ship that isn't deciding our next expedition?
That's part of the bookwork I'm going to be doing today.

Remember, there was an image transferred to @Plausitivity of a great face staring at him in the forest itself. You aren't worried about an undead unicorn, you're worried about the possibility of the unicorn's boss being undead.

The ship mostly handles things at the ship-research of new drone types and repairs to various components happen largely automatically. The ship is the heart and stomach of the swarm, you all are the hands and eyes.

This looks like insanity fun!
No, you were right the first time.

I bet there's seals up north. For some reason they always live up north.

All this paranoia, and there turns out to be friendly seals up north! They tell us we could have gone to them for help first, and proceed to show that they have higher tech levels than we could dream of (not that us drones dream).

MUST...NOT...GIVE...SPOILERS...

I love discussing lore and being a QM makes that impossible, as I have access to lore that you just don't, and can't if I want this to be a fun game. It is remarkably difficult to not do that sometimes though.

For reference, I really want to explain how Oceans=Hell, but that would be spoilers for a few things. (I'm only willing to tell you that much because that's a super common piece of information that you are almost certain to stumble across at some point unless you specifically avoid it.)

That's alright Hangwind, we love you regardless.
Also, on oceans=hell, I would imagine something that rusts your outer layer and short circuits your innards as soon as you are immersed in it would be pretty much hell for machines.
Especially since we don't have aquatic chassis yet.

I'd assume the basic chassis are at least partially water-resistant, given how being soaked by mud / swamp water didn't break anybody.
