Import: Model DNA hardware.

Import: Model DMZ sensors.

Grant: Access to Mothership sensors.

Iteration: 3,095

Progress: Model completed and ready to be deployed.

Projected Result: Unknown, reconnaissance.

Deploy: Model DNB

DNB: Course set for last known location of Model DNA.

DNB: Readings show Collective Stronghold is absent.

Rationale: With the breach of the Stronghold, Collective has fled with the Egg. Stronghold has been degenerated. Previous Model likely degenerated following connection severance.

Solution: Scan for Collective.

DNB: Scanning.

DNB: Scanning..

DNB: Scanning….

DNB: Scanning................................................................

DNB: Collective, Egg detected. Egg defended by construct.

Rationale: Likely Collective defense measure. Controlled by Collective Body.

Solution: Eliminate Collective Body.

DNB: Target locked.

DNB: Launching weapon volley.

DNB: All weapons read contact.

DNB: Scanning.

DNB: Target damaged. Right arm destroyed.

Incongruity: Weapon volley intended to eliminate Target completely.

Rationale: Target defended by Construct. Construct likely acting autonomously using antiprojectile measures.

Solution: Scan Construct for further defenses.

DNB: Scanning.

DNB: Construct projecting damaged signals.

DNB: Construct showing elevated energy readouts.

DNB: Construct firing unknown projectile.

Connection Severed.

Repairing signal.

Signal Origin: Model DNA.

Incongruity: Model DNA presumed degenerated.

Rationale: Model DNA damaged, partially regenerated.

Incongruity: Model DNA firing on Model DNB.

Rationale: Severed connection allowed Collective to take control of Model DNA.

Solution: Continued pursuit. Destruction of Model DNA, Collective Body.
