Ah the Dragonflies ! True machines and companions, loyal without questions. Whatever the ancients did to make them, is not for us to know, we must thank the Progenitors as they gifted these machines to the Gentle Giant, hero of all Shangrila.
The Dragonfly work in flocks, and it’s not unusual to see them entering inside wounded or broken machines, like the tools of a white lotus medic in the body of a man, thanks to their sizes. Working in these large groups allows them to communicate faster and correct themselves rapidly, because of their several eyes and sensors. To accomplish their tasks, they have access to a venerable variety of work tools that allow them to repair and build anything our mind could think of, or even clean a floor if one wants them to do so.
If those work tools were taken off them, they can be equipped with ranged weaponry, making them especially dangerous to lightly equipped Vishnu troops. In case of melee, they wouldn’t need more weapons than their own bodies, as the machine imitates a certain type of snake's family, twisting around the enemy's body and crushing him until his bones break or until it can't breathe if the desire is to simply knock down the target.
For other uses they are optimal for prospecting as they will methodically scan an area, until they have moved across every micron of it. The great lady Kanzeon alongside our savior Lieren, did some time ago improve the drones. Their “wings” now present elements taken from the star people, improving their agility and speed.
The Dragonflies seem to act with animal behavior of sorts, doing odd holes in the ground, capturing animals or chasing each other across trees.
Still they remain innocent to us and often avoid positioning themselves in our pathways or duties, unless we might be harmed or one is a Shang Engineer that often works close with them. One might find them recharging attached to a ceiling of a warehouse for example, or chirping and buzzing machine language on top of vehicles or looking at us from the Vessel of Heaven.
May they never break, as these machines have aided us in any aspect of our empire, the honor of receiving their help or fighting alongside them shall be forever remembered by any true men and his sons in Shangrila.
