#1 A turbo-prop drone came "dangerously close" to an air-superiority fighter? OK, that is not completely unpossible.

Sounds congested, three drones and one fighter flitting about the same airspace . All focused on the same object of interest, perhaps? One side trying to prevent the other from whacking somebody who has done enough bad things to deserve getting whacked?

Slightly OT: Do Reapers hunt in packs yet?
