With your sensors on the fritz from all this Azurium and magnetic interference, you have to go by your eyes. You decide to take the <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">right canal</span></span>.
As you speed down the canal, you notice a few of the lesser defensive drones here- and then from the shadows of the megastructure comes a magnetic drone!
<span class="mu-b">”Flank second- stay away from that Azurium drone. We cannot take it out with its-”</span>
<span class="mu-s">”ARRGGHH!”</span>
With a sickening twist of steel, the magnetic drone unleashes hell upon one of your poor escorts, bending the fighter into a pretzel. The poor pilot thankfully died instantly.
Damn, looks like there was a magnetic drone lurking in the shadows you couldn't quite see. The other canal had shield drones and Baalathi “colony” ships- population carries whose only known attack was to send out a nutrino field which your new and improved AI can deal with easily. You made the wrong choice this time, but you still have one more escort...
