<<<<<[Okay everybody, the following is a file that a friend of mine, Gonzo,
got for us, and he also so kindly provided commentary that he himself either
overheard or whatever. And since these things have begun to show up in places
like the Barrens and Puyallup, I decided we needed more info on this fragger.
So, Gonzo, thanks for the file ...]>>>>>

Gee Lone Star, thanks a fragging lot.]>>>>>

for
us to fear now. This sentry gun system, if it looses communication or is
commanded to do so, will open fire on whatever it can "see" if the pilot is
compromised or the thing won't move anymore. Supposedly this thing can also
be commanded to do this also, I've heard someone call this "Schizoid
Mode."]>>>>>
