... That's a fucking tree.
Vaguely humanoid? Capable of using firearms? Armored?! Sure, but it's still a fucking tree.
Yeah you bet most targeting systems can't shoot it, they'd lock onto the whole damn forest.
"We know this, because it defeated the IFF of the Autonomous Combat Drone during its hunt for Lorppo, and interfered. It was the event that caused the machine's displacement."
The tree that sits over Leshy's garden isn't that different.
"We do not know where Zephyr himself is currently located, but the capture of this arms platform will allow us to backtrack it to the source."
You can't keep this inside your own head. "Why does he have this!?"
Tolerating your outburst but defeated nonetheless, she throws her arms up in the air before letting them fall limply to her sides. "It is not my authority to decide if they should or not. They do. And it's our problem."
Okay.
Katriina goes on. "The platform is naturally armed with one 4-Bore slug cannon fitted with an axe bit for powerful close quarters potential. We know he has access to buckshot, birdshot, and V-Ring compressed air shot. The platform also has a series of magnets on its branches that permit its ample prehensile dexterity to scavenge and use firearms. Most of the munitions used by those that came to target him before are believed to be depleted, but we cannot be certain, due to the confidential nature of the target demanding all cameras be shut down."
