I'd have to see it in action to believe it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35160882 Any tiny air current would be enough to knock it out of the air. Okay so in this case... You decide you want to learn to manoeuvre it Takes you one month to learn the basics - up down sides forwards but you're not an expert So you decide to use a regular fan (obviously at some distance) to see the effect of wind Bizarrely the effect is minimal. How? You simply cannot answer that. But it hangs in the air with very little sway At this point you realize this drone really is something else, HIGHLY CLASSIFIED and possibly almost tech which is 20-30 years away for most militaries So what do you do now... |

So you're walking through the park one day and discover a shiny suitcase marked 'US Military' Quoting: Obnoxious Pakistani UK 36481403 Seems off. Could it be a bomb? Possibly. But curiosity takes the better of you, and you take this suitcase home with you. You unclick it and to your surprise it opens pretty easily (no locks or anything). You find a few letters in the suitcase from the Pentagon marked 'Highly Classified' and at this point you understand this is some serious shit Inside the suitcase is a tiny drone housefly, the like of which no-one has ever seen before. Looks just like a real housefly, in fact, on closer inspection, it is a housefly - a dead one You realise this is the worlds first bionic drone - and a tiny one at that - the stuff of real fantasy There is an instruction manual included in the suitcase. You soon discover this is far from a normal drone: - 1 hours charge makes it run for 8 hours (wow) - it can fly up to 5,000m high - radius of 20 miles you can control it - has a miniature camera which relays a feed to your camera/laptop - it has a tracker so you know exactly where it is - the user manual estimates it will take you around 3 months to master it fully Id squash the fucker before it breeds. Of course no military knows such miniature drone technology exists so this is obviously super cutting edge technology! Now I will leave the next part open because everyone's home/life situation will be different... Just One Simple Question... So what do you do now... ? |

To answer your concern about the tracker... A few days after you take the suitcase the park is sealed off to the public. The story runs in the paper that there was a robbery and expensive medical equipment was stolen. The Police run an appeal for the suitcase to be returned, or anyone who knows of its wherebouts to tip Police off. At this point you can deduce there could have been no tracker on the suitcase, and what the instruction manual said is more or less confirmed - the only tracker is fitted into the drone and the only monitor within the control pad for the drone Thus, no one else can possibly track this drone nor discover your location This is a major flaw in this drone, the military have clearly made an error of judgement and you can see this from the obsession with recovering this suitcase A few weeks later the story in the news changes to 'articles of national security' stolen and the authorities are heavily criticized for being so careless with whatever was in the suitcase (there is lots and lots of speculation) Its clear that high level military are desperately trying to recover the suitcase, but you're in control of the situation Feeling reassured by events, what do you do know? |

Become an inside trader. Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country, don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy. |

Can't breed. Its a dead fly with super high tech nanotechnology-cum-drone tech incorporated into its body... We are talking tech that is decades ahead of its time... Like i said... Squish the fucker. It might be the only one they have. Id burn the case and its contents. Could set the cunts back decades. |
