The steady crunch of Echo's multiple forms on ship plating stopped in unison as they reached the second trench. The mass of organs was noted, along with the spike- and camera, a drone of some sort attached to the ceiling. 

[color=steelblue]"Correction. Spike appears to be transmitting data."[/color] Echo's voice reported monotonously in the earpieces of the Envenomed squad. [color=steelblue]"Elaboration. Camera drone appears to be receiving transmission. "[/color] One of the nearest microforms cocked its head at the drone. [color=steelblue]"Alert. We are being watched. Interested parties: 2 or greater. Clarification. Area is being watched, not necessarily for us."[/color]

Taking a closer look at the drone and spike- visually, not physically. Echo's voice intoned again. [color=steelblue]"Addendum. Nature of material appears to not be rated for void use. Hypothesis. Jury rigged, makeshift equipment. Congruent with pirate presence."[/color]

The endoform looked down towards the base of the tower, their decided rendezvous point, and, as King had pointed out, a veritable kill box. King prompted Echo, though correctly assumed that subtlety was not its strong suit. [color=steelblue]"Report. Providing options:"

"Squad Energy Shield. Functional.
Smoke munitions. Functional. Addendum. Limited.
Active suppression fire. Possible.
Microform scouting. Clarification. Microforms are not capable of active camouflage, but are small in size and do not fit silhouette of typical combatants."[/color]

Echo paused. [color=steelblue]"End of options."[/color]
