Combinatrix has witnesses savagery of these new frightening creatures, as they continuously destroy his drones, The front gate was already breached within 10 minutes. These creatures, with only three of them have shown they are incredibly strong and resilient too rail gun fire from his drones.
However, these creatures were not indestructible after the creatures broke into the base within 25 minutes one of them was already injured bleeding profusely, and missing an arm, despite the heavy losses of drones, Combinatrix has managed to pin all three of the creatures down at the left corner of the base however, what made this even more irritating is the other two creatures are using their injured comrades shield, showing their savagery, as well as their cruelty to their own kind.
As he commands the rest of his drones to keep those creatures pinned he's doing everything in his mechanical means to get his factory up and running. He doesn't care if he hast to pump out half baked machines as long as he can drown these fucking creatures in steel and kill them he will be happy.
But the losses I've already we're heavy on his mind 47 drones lost that were part of the base Garrison, leaving on the bare minimum of 55 left, and only 35 for putting those creatures down while the rest continues to finish loading up the assembly line to begin production of new drones.
With the alloys into the assembly plant, both of them roars to life and swiftly begin mass production, although it will take time for production, which is all that Combinatrix is trying to do as well as using his own personal replicator to build a personal new body, tougher, stronger and taller enough to go head to head with those creatures but it's not ready yet he was hoping for more time.

He received an update from his drones, and it's not looking good. The creatures have broken Through the rest of his drones, now the wreaking havoc on his facilities going through his drones digitize memories he realize the other two creatures sacrifice their companion in order to get out from the encirclement, slaughtering the drones in close quarters combat.
NEXs is made for war but they just don't have all of their functioning, military grade equipment yet everything was focused on getting resources up and running. It's like try to fight a tiger with a shovel.
For that is what the situation feels like even though the NEX is using first generation rail guns, which is a massive improvement in weaponry it's still isn't enough.
Combinatrix is worried that these creatures would penetrate his assembly line before it's finished producing brand new units to kill the remainder of these creatures, but at this rate these creatures will either destroy or eat his base.
He also noticed one of the creatures would come to One of the crates full of minerals, through one of his cameras he sees it eating some of his raw minerals and in some awkward way. It was healing the creatures, bruises, and open wounds!!
This made Combinatrix Believe that these creatures are lithoids basically rock people, or in this case, rock monsters, which solves quite a few questions.
However, this doesn't change the fact that Combinatrix steel needs to kill these creatures in some capacity. He has limited time and limited numbers at the moment, so what a meaningful way could he kill these creatures?
Within his most desperate hour, an idea struck his processor. Reacting with such a mental swiftness would put every supercomputer back on his old earth. To shame he started to refit some fish drones that were guarding the assembly plant and strapping several have finished drones inside the plant onto it changing up their power supply to be more unstable since most of their designs are super conductive when they are rearranged in a different fashion. Makes them highly explosive.
This was his final gambit, his final ploy, to help save his base. The only thing he knows, could possibly save every drone in this fucking base,kamikaze.

Third person point of view
The creatures continue slashing and turning part different colored NEX With the sharp claws, and begins to devoured them they already had to sacrifice one of their brother to get this far into their prey nest and so far the two surviving creatures were not disappointed they killed and devoured everything in their eyesight and so far they were quite delicious scrumptious even the best meal they've had in a long time.
They they finished their current meal and goes look for more so far the prey have put up a decent fight one worthy of these creatures, as I see one of the pre-cum running towards them, which they welcome it with open arms as they bring their clothes up to slash it.
The prey barely dodges and jumps and straps itself onto the creature which confuses it not before try to peel it off of it from itself to devour it, however the new NEX begins self destruction mechanism, inside of itself, using its new, super conductive bomb matrix. It blows up in a flash of light, knocking the other creature away, while the one that was attached to the NEX Was dead center of the blast as the dust and light clear out what stood there moments ago is now crisp, burnt molten corpse of the ones proud creatures that sucks to devour everything in this base.
The other creature seen its other two companions dead at this point, decided to flee and grab the rest of its tribe, however, more of the same ones that killed, his comrade started to appear and try to jump on it. The creature doesn't waste no time and avoids them, and begin scaling one of the buildings with a sharp claws to get away.
But no matter where this creature goes the same model of NEX getting in its way it's slashes them tearing them apart, only in them resulting in another explosion, the creature becomes badly hurt since it was not a point Blank explosion like the last one, but the explosion was severe enough for the creature unable to move.
Before the creature could realize it more kamikaze units came in. They took no chances. The last remaining nine kamikaze units ran and jumped on the creature activating its self destruction.
Within the next few moments, a small mushroom cloud appeared within the base, and when the dust settled all that was remaining is a molten corpse.

Combinatrix POV
Phew that was fucking close like seriously these things were built to kill like I lost most of my drones today, and a good chunk of my own infrastructure, which is going to take months of repair and replacement.
But the upside is, the creatures are dead, and I don't have to worry about them, but that also brings up another fact there could possibly be more of these creatures out there, and they would eventually find their way here like those other three, and from what I have observed my drones in my minerals, are like food to them, which no doubt they will hunt me down for in order to get.
And from what I observed from their behavioral patterns, they're also predatorial they're not used to being the prey instead of being the predator, how easy the rules can be reversed now, or I will have a chance to study their corpses. It will be a brand new experience.
But first, I need to fix up my shit and get back to work maybe I should tinker with my close range combat models designs.
—————————————-
With the creatures dead the NEX new drones got swiftly to work repairing all the damage which took several months as well as upgrading their defenses adding more layers of steel to their defense of structure walls.
With the attack of the base, Combinatrix began immediate work on manufacturing, military grade, weapons and vehicles as well as developing energy fences within certain sections of the base for extra security, as well as big automated turrets on each section of the base is perimeter.
The next six months Combinatrix bass in capital went under a huge transformation from an industrial complex to a bad ass fortress, full of guns and plenty of drones, as well as the factories, running hot, constantly producing new drones as fast as they are fed the alloys needed.
Combinatrix is no the war path now, and is determined to conquer the rest of the planet because they attack on his base was the closest thing he came to do being vulnerable in this new universe, and does not want it to happen again, and so he's decided to take full control.
