: This vignette tells us some things about this level but also brings up some
: new questions. Why didn't Tycho hack more drones? Perhaps because a move
: that big would be noticed by the Pfhor, but we can't be sure. An even more
: interesting question: if Tycho can possess the drone on
: "Committee" then why didn't he possess the drones on "Poor
: Yorick" when he was staging his coup against R'chzne? The most
: obvious meta-answer is that Double Aught didn't want Tycho to control
: every Pfhor unit because then you'd have no one to fight but Enforcers and
: that would be boring; but let's not cop out with meta-answers. On
: "Yorrick" did Tycho just not find drones useful, as was the case
: with the troopers ("No need to go easy on any of the troopers...
: there's no room for them in the new regime.")? Can Tycho only hack
: drones through terminals in real time, as opposed to sending forged
: commands to terminals to be read by aggregate combatant units? As far as I
: can tell it's not quite clear.
As Durandal noted on Curiouser and Curiouser, the Nar had previously used drone-hacking tactics against the Pfhor. Perhaps Tycho initially ran into the same Pfhor countermeasures during his coup and later hacked the drones via a different route.
