You blast the gun mounting which fuses before it has brought the cannon to bear, and then play a long blast of sizzling energy over the wardroid. The yellow gas turns red in a great cloud around it as the metal of the droid fuses and collapses in on itself, into a molten mass. It carried a radar beacon which has now stopped functioning. You can see four more of the hovering wardroids, one at each corner of the gargantuan mining droid and you realise it will not be long before they register that the droid which attacked you is out of action. At the back of the mining droid is a loading bay stacked with thin rods of ore. Will you:
