Status: O TECHNICALITY ************ The Khree fight wars strangely. They breed indestructible warror-drones, cunning in battle but devoid of true reason. Each drone is assigned one specific inhabitant of a target planet to kill. The drones never fail in their missions. When they came to Terra and the bloodshed began, I found myself with only a Halon extinguisher to protect myself. To my surprise, the Halon did what artillery could not. The world is empty of humans, now, but full of Khree drones. They stand passively while I slag them with gas -- I'm not their target. If I kill every drone, we'll have won.
