In Victorian Space
The flock of drones flew on toward their destination, the Fleet base on the Atlas Space Station. Twenty of them had survived the rigors of the worm hole into Victorian space only to for fail for one reason or another. Their systems shut down and they went ballistic, to coast to eternity and beyond.
The surviving drones picked up the signal from Space Buoy #27, corrected course slightly and sped on. Soon now, very soon, they would detect the radio beacon from Space Station Atlas and fulfill the single duty they had been created for.
