Description (Initial Observations): These data-probes are used to send televised pictures of areas that the robot is investigating, for general tracking and surveying missions. They are used to scout areas before alerting the Manhunter to send out the cybers or have the Manhunter come itself. The probes are equipped and fitted for underwater use. The armor given combines the probes speed and size, and the number given in parentheses indicates the armor class while the probes are stationary (hovering). The probes can be controlled by the Manhunter up to a distance of 10 kilome- ters, and they automatically return if a distance greater than this is indicated. The probes have radar- and infravision-jam- ming screens (which even affect muta- tions) that allow them to pass by unnoticed.The probes are also equipped with an electrical defense shield that does 1d10 hp damage to characters touching them. The probes themselves cannot attack, and flee as soon as they have registered the posi- tion of the desired hiding group.
