Among the rubble from this special station, you find a tracking device, supposedly homed in on transponders placed on units this facility has produced through the years. What the reason was for the mother hive to monitor its offspring one can only guess, but in any case it seems like this little instrument is about to spell certain doom for one of its hopefuls; one of the units seem to be still in range of this device and you get the location flashing on one of your panels.<\/p>\n

Part 4<\/p>\n
Arriving at the marked location, you find that the unit has moved on and from the look of it, joined up with at least two other units if you are to believe the signals from the tracking device. Three points are indicated at this location…<\/p>\n
Not only were there three colonization units here, they were all in the process of founding new hives. You wonder if it is typical for drones to form hives in resource-rich places like this to do battle when they grow, or if you may have put an end to an exceptional super hive, an abnormality that could have dominated this whole system if allowed to grow. Whatever it was, it is no more; your navigational computer is silent. You can rest assured that you have eradicated all of the drone offspring in this part of space.<\/p>\n
