"Well, we don't necessarily have to be silent. We just have to not be caught." Rareth remarked, reaching into one of the pouches on her armor and producing one of the insect-sized drones. With one touch, she activated it, then tossed it into the air to fly on its own power. It was a small, spherical device with a single camera and four "legs" that allowed it to latch onto surfaces. Currently, it was almost solid white, apart from the camera, but it could change its exterior color based on its environment. 

"Have you ever made use of microdrones before? They are small, inexpensive, and quite useful for surveillance. They are completely silent and can transmit video feed in real time to whatever device you happen to be using. I'll be having mine send their feed directly to my helmet's display. You can control them remotely, or have them operate on their own A.I with a few different settings. One way you can use them is to send out a few during a fight. They will fly over the area you are fighting in a certain radius, then transmit video to you from different perspectives, depending on what you can and cannot see from your angle. If you have a neural uplink, you can also control their movements and which feed they show you with your thoughts. Unfortunately, as a magic-user, I can't use that function. At any rate, I could give you a few if you'd like to make use of them." Rareth offered.
