Rogue Drones !
In People Suits !
Gutter Press can exclusively reveal that confidential FIO reports show an inexorable rise in the numbers of Rogue Drones wearing people suits, and that there are no signs of the growth levelling off !
What a Rogue Drone in a People Suit is, is a machine, controlled by a Rogue Drone intelligence, with the outward appearance of a normal person. These should however, not be confused with people-shaped drones, which are a common sight in many high-tech Gallente cities.
These Rogue Drones were first encountered shortly after the region of space known as "The Drone Regions", became accessible by spacecraft, after having been sealed up in the past, following the Operation Spectrum Breach incident.
Gutter Press spoke with a recently retired FIO officer, about these Rogue Drones in people suits.
"The first ones had rubber skin. We spotted them easily. These latest ones are new. They look very human, sweat, bad breath, everything. They're very hard to spot. We have to wait until they make a move before we can take them out."
The difficulty in spotting an individual Rogue Drone in a People Suit is increased due to the popularity of body modification as a hobby in many Gallente systems.
Curiously, however, groups of Rogue Drones in People Suits are easy to spot, because they generally have identical appearance.
"I remember one group we caught. Four of them. Identical Civire looking men. Now, even for the whole Tube Child thing the Caldari have, they're never absolutely identical. So that's how we got them. For some reason, it seems to be a popular model. Something like 40% of all these skin jobs we pick up, are Civire men. They all look like that guy out of those action holos. You know, the big guy with the muscles."
The motivations behind the Rogue Drone in People Suits are unknown, and according to some experts, unknowable.
"Sometimes we can question one, but it rarely leads anywhere productive. They only seem to talk in quotes from those low budget Impetus action holos. Usually their statements don't even relate to whatever question is being asked. It defies all logic."
Most of the time, the Rogue Drones in People Suits aren't doing anything overtly hostile or dangerous to the public, so the FIO currently rates Rogue Drones in People Suits as a nuisance, rather than a threat to Federal society as a whole. This lack of hostility takes it's toll on the FIO officers assigned to track them down.
"I shot a woman in cold blood. That's what my eyes tell me. My brain tells me it was a machine, but that's little comfort. We have to go for regular empathy testing as a result. A lot of officers have to retire, it's just too hard."
Gutter Press took to the streets of Caille to see what local residents had to say.
"Drones in people suits ? What on Gallentia are they up to ?", said one baffled Gallente woman. "I think I met a drone in a people suit. Gave me this incomprehensible pamphlet", said an Intaki man. "Identical Civire dudes ? I saw some of them a couple years back at the Museum of Antiquities in Caille. They were looking at the old telephone directories", said a Mannar librarian.
Gutter Press advises its readers, that if they see a group of 2, 3, 5 or 7 identical Civire bodybuilders, that they should contact the nearest law enforcement agency as soon as possible. Rumours, Wars, Rumours of Wars, Wars of Rumours! |

I have to come clean. I "might" have replaced my whole crew with drones of various degrees of human-like appeareance. But they are all accounted for, except for the ones I don't know where they are. |

But that said, it makes perfect sense that they would want to visit the Federation first. Actually, the only drone-like Caldari I have met is Kimmy. The rest seem to be fairly normal people, a bit more socially single minded, but fairly normal. The lack of money is the root of all evil. |

My Automation Specialist encountered one of those skulking around in one of my colonies. Why he was there nobody knew, considering that it's a Gas Giant with nothing but ammonia, ammonia and storm of ammonia. The drone was last seen throwing himself into the ionic solution plant while raising a thumbs up, his last words being, "I'll be back!"
We shut down the plant for half an hour to retrieve the still functioning but babbling drone and dissect the fellow to see if we can figure out the physiology. Surprisingly, we found many, many downsized hydraulics that operate the actuators and the CPU was of an outdated model. The only thing we found that wasn't antiquated was the miniaturised fusion battery in the chest region. Still, too primitive to be manufactured by rogue drone hives.
I conclude that these rogue drones are not manufactured by the rogue drone hives, but most likely produced on the cheap in some garage-based manufacturing line. Likely they were produced as a prank or as a homage to the supposedly old holoreel movies. |

The meat part, yes. It's all lab grown with different biological structure compared to natural epidermal layers, however. It only looks like human skin and blood vessels on very surface layer. I am very sure you don't want to eat that. |

Your commanding officer could be a rogue drone and you wouldn't even know it. First, it can't be done. Because the information is guarded by both machines and humans. Second, if drone will serve the State, let it. Third, if commanding officers would do agenda other of interests of the State, they will be arrested for this disregarding drones they are or not.
Spying and transmitting information to gallente subhumans, federation in general or rogue drone hives will be dealt with even more severely. During war time there is a capital punishment for this. |

Eh, these days the actuators do not use oil to operate. They either use shape-memory alloys or the more cutting edge nanocarbon fiber muscles. You should hope that Nauplius damaged the batteries and got splashed by whatever hazardous materials that were used as electrolytes. Or if really unlucky, he split open a fusion battery and gets irradiated. |

If you meant these skinsuit drones like that one we found saying 'I'll be back' before hopping into the vat, well, yes, they do have oil. Antifreeze-laced oil used in the micro-hydraulics. What they have more, however, is coolant. Water, to be exact. Alot of water. Laced with salt. About 80% of that machine's weight is water. No surprise considering that fusion cells generate alot of heat. This explained the supposed sweating we observed. Is it to much to ask that you don't pick apart my fantasy of seeing a mass murderer get burnt to death by his intended victim? |

I thought identical Civire men were used in hedonistic displays on stages in which single women would attend and then cheer in hopes the men would remove parts (but not all) of their clothing while dancing. Each stage performance is identical.
I've heard stories about this, of course. I've never actually witnessed one or more of these "Thunder down Under" shows, as they're called.
"I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you - so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also. -áAnd as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree, so the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all." |

Would it be better if he gets radiation poisoning because he cut into the drone's chest and thus into the fusion cell? |
