"Your Majesty, the scout drones have suffered significant damage and can no longer sustain the reconnaissance task," AI Blue Devourer reported to Manina at the Mount Fuji command center.
Manina was still seated in the command center, with an electronic map directly in front of him that displayed the real-time movements of the scout drone fleet.
Originally there were 300 red dots on the electronic map progressing along the prescribed route, but now all these dots had strayed from their paths. Even more so, numerous dots had vanished, losing contact with the command center.
Upon hearing the report from Blue Devourer, Manina asked in a deep voice, "Blue Devourer, how many scout drones have we lost?"
