Concept - Lord of Flies
NPC who uses snake-eyes inconjuction with a mass of micro-drones to have 100% knowledge of the local area, like a portable, self-moving CCTV system. The micro-drones are very small indeed, insect sized! A combination of crawlers and burrowers, but mostly flyers. The individual drone resolution is poor (current digital CCTV quality around 48kb/sec), but overlapping video feeds produce the quality. Each drone communicates to each other, with LoF somewhere within the swarm. One problem, how do I get SR drones that small? :read: Just for AE - The 2004 version :proof: |
