The Common Drones (often called grubs by Gears) are tactically-minded and can operate most weapons. They are not, however, able to comprehend and act on unexpected complications. They can create emergence holes to suprise unsuspecting soldiers.
Emergence Hole' (Ex): Locust Drones can create small seige tunnels connected to the Hollow. Up to ten Drones can crawl through before it collapses. They gain a suprise round and also gain total cover for 1 round as the dust settles. The emergance holes are 10 ft wide and long (two by two square). The hole can be quickly collapsed by tossing in a bolo grenade.
Tactics
Round 1: Create emergance hole.
Round 2: Take cover in any available space.
Rounds 3 and beyond: Blind fire at Gears until at least two are dead.
After: Suicide rush one chosen Gear and attempt to kill him.
