Bring up a list of all the weapons in the system and familiarize myself with there appearance and how the weapon functions.
It looks like there are no lists or specs on any weapons in your system. Perhaps because your system is just a low level computer for handling suit functions.
"Attracting them could actually be useful if we dont want to take the long way around a group of them somebody could move off and then draw them in and double back around them while the group move on."
'Sure, we could do that, but there are a few problems with your plan, namely: they know the terrain, while we don't. Secondly, they are probably better armed and faster than us, and outnumber us vastly. Lastly, who in his right mind would volunteer for such a task? Would you?'
Ask following to Wolfe:
'You said the 'snow' gravitates towards us, right? Does it do that to the robots as well? Or only to organics?'
"The snow? No. I just said that the electrical discharges of the snow seem to have an unfortunate habit of using explorers to ground themselves."
Denzen wonders if lasers or mono-atomic razors have electrical arcs.
They do not.
"It's not a good idea to get the attention of all those robots and bring them to us you know. We're not that many and they have a lot more firepower than we have."
Bishop turns back to the doctor.
"How can you tell the difference between the types of robots? Are there specific markings of some kind? Also, is there anything that really stands out in the globe?"
"You can't, at least not easily. I guess the repair bots are easy enough to recognize because they're repairing or building. Other then that though, they come in any number of shapes and sizes so...I guess you'll just have to guess by their actions. Oh, um, the hunters. You might be able to recognize them because they tend to be much more focused then war bots. No indiscriminate firebombing.
And things that stand out? Well the main building is taller then any of the others, at least most of the time. It's been a while since I've been there so things will be different; but sometimes the repair bots get a bit...creative."
"About the weapons they use, do they have, like, lasers, Gauss stuff or what? 'Cause if they have, I don't know, some kind of quantum mumbo-jumbo guns, I'd like to know in advance."
"I can only tell you for certain about 3 weapons I've seen them use personally. First was some sort of explosive cannon shell. I didn't see the source of it but it hit a building and the building ceased to be a moment later. Second were what my guide at the time called "Bee shot", little drones that would seek out a target and attach themselves before detonating. And the last I'm not sure what it was but," He pulls aside his shirt a bit and shows a molten line, like someone took a white hot icecream scoop and drug it through his flesh, taking a good clump of it with them, on his shoulder, "It was probably a laser of some kind."
The tram grinds for a second and begins to decelerate.
"Almost there." Wolfe says, glancing at the console.
