"I'm just thinking-- depending on the drone models Moongray uses and their precise security setup, it may be easier to reprogram an existing drone than to infiltrate the friend-or-foe system. Some of the commercial protocols are nearly as good as Kel standard, and we don't have a week to work on inducing an operator error.

Maybe once we reach the station we can let our own maintenance drones wander a little bit, and do some imaging of the opposition?"

[Yeah, this is a straight line for a Kel joke-- but I'm guessing military grade friend-or-foe protocols are solid.]
