It finished replacing everything it could in the drone with more efficient and useful programming, meaning Stalker programming, before turning it loose with orders to continue on its previous mission. It had a 'shell' of programming that was as close to identical to the previous programming as it could get, and while its new 'AI' wasn't good, it was disposable. It was to report onward, follow orders, and eventually be returned to some kind of station, where it would begin uploading worm programs that would duplicate what Reaper had done to the drone. Since the new programming was 'passive,' it wouldn't be detected by anything but a full system scan, and if they had any number of drones, they likely wouldn't do that.<br/><br/>With the map uploaded to it, the Reaper released its doppleganger to go and infiltrate, which would allow the AIs easier access to the owner's systems, which would be useful if they turned out to be hostile. If not, the worms could easily be turned to be helpful.<br/><br/>However, the maps changed its priorities, and it quickly harvested as much plating as it could, before teleporting back to the wrecked chassis, giving the two maps to X1, dropping off the plating, helping one of the other AIs get mobile, before heading for the portal.<br/><br/>Upon arriving at the portal, Reaper knelt down, and examined the area for any signs of patrols or observation gear. If none it would go ahead through the portal, trying to find city or town or something where it could get some information. It wouldn't approach in full armor mode, instead retracting most of the armor until he was wearing a breastplate with thigh and bicep guards, boots, and carrying no obvious weapons, but was carrying a large pack on his back. Its face, however, was nearly identical to Draiss', as it had never seen the need to make its own face, and never revealed it when Draiss was wandering around.
