SCOUT ROVER
- MONSTER
- MARS
SCOUT ROVER is one of the rank and file on MARS, a place of machines.
A surveying unit the size of a dog, built to photograph dust and drive away from it. The colony repurposed the fleet as an early-warning line, at which they are poor, having only ever been given the one behaviour.

The monster at its baseline, before a venue has placed it. What it really fields on each difficulty is under “Where you meet it”.

What to know
- ROLLSGets about on wheels or treads rather than on legs.
- WHAT IT WAS CARRYINGNothing. It has no pockets, and never had wages — a kill pays in gear, not in coin.
- WHEN STRUCKIt throws sparks. A blow that overwhelms it bursts it into wire, cells and torn plate, and it smokes where it lands.
