The lights on the attack drones began to light up as their pods opened. The designated leader stepped out of the pod first. "Attack platform AP-772 online." There was a short pause in itsome speech. "Running diagnostics. Weapons systems online..cooling systems online...parameters set." A small list of the parameters the were set would pop up on his tablet just as security protocol. "Anti-viral program online...squad link network online....ready to serve and command." The drone said as it issued a salute. The other drone's began stepping out of their pods. Their steel shells grinding and stomping as they moved. They all stepped in formation and issued a salute. AP-772 approached Stryker. "All systems running at 100% capacity. It is an honor to serve. Awaiting orders sir!"
