Its not the absolute coolest thing I've ever heard about, but it's certainly interesting and relevant to Shadowrun in a "we're moving in that direction" sort of way, so I thought I'd share.

Wow, that's like exactly the description of an SR drone. Cool. Bit expensive though..

The coolest drone I've seen so far is a prototype of the Dragon Runner. The final design will seemingly be different, having no up or down (it's a very small drone for soldier to throw inside a building ; with that design it doesn't matter on which side it lands). But I4m hijacking the thread since the Dragon Runner is for the USMC, not the USAF.

Damn straight! Who needs elf porn when rigger porn is so much more exciting?
