You’re a ghost in the blizzard, your huge frame trudging across the wide plains. You’ll take the long route, circling around to pick off whatever defenders are around.
Hive drones are already zipping ahead as you direct them along the bearing of the infrequent comm signals.
Your first pickoff is a turret, stationary and undeployed.
The drone closes in through the sheets of snow, then gets a visual, and a crack rings out as you place a slug through its mounting.
This prompts a flurry of signals, which you eagerly intercept, identify the closest source, and follow back with drones.
There are other, further out sources, but you’d prefer to clean up them one at a time, then displace.
The closest patrol turns out to be a pair of large wheeled vehicles. You identify them as Sprites, six-wheeled all-terrain transports. They aren’t even armed with weapons large enough to damage you, but they will undoubtedly call others.
Using targeting data from the drones, two more cracks ring out, the charging time between shots enough to allow merely a single callout, before both of the vehicles are cored and broken.
Two more Sprite pairs are dispatched at extreme range as you continue your generally northern path, following signal to signal with drones, then eliminating what you find.
