Free Drone Landing
Prologue
The probes moved quickly through the shadows of Free Drone Central. Patrols were not common, and they were sure that no one spotted them. Gaining entry into a local datalinks node through a waste removal tube, the Data Angels hooked up their equipment and began to scan the memory of the datalinks for anything useful.
“Hmmm… backward Drones. Nothing worth stealing. But maybe they’re hiding something. Let’s take a look.” Datajack Katt mumbled to her partner as they began the scan.
“We can always steal the maps if they don’t have anything for us. But quiet. Let’s get to work.” Datajack Roberts replied as the code flew by on his MMI.
Almost five minutes passed in fruitless silence as old technology passed them. Roberts began to look for the map files when Katt spoke up.
“Hold up Roberts. I found something large here. Wonder what it is.”
Roberts looked over at Katt’s discovery, “Too small to be tech files. Forget about it.”
“I don’t know… Roze will be upset if we come back with just maps. I want to take this.”
Roberts shrugged, “I have the maps. Do what you will.”
“Fine fine. Just let me disconnect and I’ll be gone. Go prepare the exit.” Katt said, with defeat in her voice.
Roberts left, and Katt slipped her datachip into the links. A few seconds later, she pulled it back out, smiling to her self. She reset the datalinks menu and hurried to catch up with Roberts.

Roze had indeed not been happy with the lack of new technology. But she blamed the Drones for their backwards methods and not the probes. Katt and Roberts were dismissed.
As soon as she was sure her room was secure, Katt popped the disk into her MMI and took a look at what she had found…
