While other units of the type have been encountered in the past, it seems these recent sightings have become more frequent and the interaction more direct. Some folks who've encountered the machine have actually spoken with it, saying it's been asking about Raids and other folk on the colony.
Colonists are advised to use extreme caution when dealing with this machine as these units are incredibly dangerous. Hale's Moon Militia units have been advised to keep the Heavy Weapons and Sapper units on standby just in case.
The 'Not Raids' warbot can be identified by a greenish tinge to the warhull and some slight detail differences in the articulated arms, where our Raids, a valued citizen of Hale's Moon, is a silvery color. The Mayor's Office has said that anyone shooting Raids "by mistake" will be dealt with by the Sheriff as if they'd shot their neighbor or one of the younguns.
"We always knew there were others of the type. Fortunately, not many of them." The Mayor was quoted as saying. "They're right dangerous. A real holy terror in close combat. Best way to take one down is with an anti-material rifle or a Roller gun. But the Militia's got their orders, and we've let the 1st Marine Raiders know what's going on," she went on. Finishing with "Raids is one of us. Broke free of that big machine and earned a place with us here. No reason to treat her any different 'cause one of her sisters is on the loose, so I expect you fine folk will keep accepting her as you have. Besides, anyone shoots her without my leave'll get a . . . talking to."
Raids herself has expressed a desire to avoid any unpleasantness and has assured locals that she remains a peaceful member of our community.
