Overview

Expedition start message
As you decimate the last remnants of this rogue drone base, your sensors come across some old transportation data; lists of materials, modules, ships and locations. The only reason this is a kind of odd is that rogue drones usually are very self sufficient, making in situ what they need for their colonies. Perhaps this is nothing...

Expedition complete message
Rogue drones mining and gathering resources far and wide to supply a huge drone factory! This scale of operations does not seem to fit anything you have seen or heard about them before and this level of organization kind of takes the "rogue" out of "rogue drones". You are pretty sure that somewhere, some authority would love to get a report on this. But on second thought... all the paperwork involved would probably be enough to exhaust a black hole.
