Camera Dudes  
    Of the 15 Lytic Drones used throughout the shoot, drones Bob, Fred and Tim (pictured left) were in use throughout and coordinated the efforts of their fellows.

    The Lytic Drones all come from visual and waveform media backgrounds, and as such were already augmented with most of the required equipment. Most had worked on independent projects before, but as wage-protected Lysis union members they tended to be a wee bit cheeky on set...

 
 
Lytic Drones: Cameras (all medias) and Consultants [Lysis Interests]


  
    Luckily union rules do not protect them from us ripping the piss out of them in print, nor blaming them for every hold up on set and in production, which they damn well always were.

    Rob Renner would like to make an additional note blaming them for most of his tumbles on set - the Lytic drones were all equipped with anti-grav units allowing them to hover above the uneven surface of the set to obtain a greater variety of camera angles, but this equipment was often abused to 'buzz' Rob whenever he ventured off his podium.

 
    Aside from directing the general mischievousness on set in addition to their shooting duties, Lytic Drones Bob, Fred and Tim acted as consultants for the Lysis edition of the Kama Sutra. The Lysis edition required the most unique shoots, and has been widely lambasted on Lysis as being unacceptably crude and offensive. This is quite an achievement on their part, as Lysis has been the main exporter of hard-core inter-species pornography since interplanetary trade began.

    The lytic drones generally had a good repartee with the Scout Walker models - Rosie and Jim - as there was much both sides could relate to in each other. Lytic drones were once almost exclusively a warriors-for-hire race, hence their advanced cybernetic technology giving them all-terrain access, multi-spectral awareness, their drone legacy giving them unparalleled coordination in shoots (when they could be bothered and weren't mucking about). There was, however, a nasty incident with Drone Alan: not all his weaponry had been decommissioned and, when given the order by Rob Renner to start 'shooting', an unintentional firefight ensued as Alan dropped into battle mode and started stalking Rosie. Luckily Alan was deactivated by male Scout Walker model Jim gently blasting Alan's head clean of his stalk.
