Drone Attack is a Generic Call Incident featured in 911 Operator. This call has essentially one storyline, in which a female caller reports that a drone is being flown dangerously around her neighborhood, threatening or even attacking people. Though the call contains no randomized elements, the operator can actively direct it to either of two endings, with different benefits to each.
As a Generic Call, Drone Attack may be triggered at any time during Free Play mode.
During Career play, it will only occur once.

Ignoring the Call[]
This call can be safely IGNORED if you follow the path that leads the operator to realize that the drone is a prank being played by a neighbor's kid. This gives 0 Reputation points, but doesn't require sending any units.
Plot 2 below describes this path and how to achieve it.
Plot 1: Dangerous Flying[]
This plot provides you with a +3 Reputation reward for sending units to examine the drone and question its operator. It is best to follow this plot if you have a police unit to spare and want the Reputation points.
Summary[]
A woman named Nellie Watson calls to report that a drone is flying dangerously around her neighborhood, attacking animals and people. The drone begins chasing her as she's talking with 911.
The operator instructs the woman to go hide in a safe place, and then dispatches police to go look for the drone's operator. They find a child flying the drone, chide him for his behavior, and leave.

Choices to Avoid[]
Selecting IS IT AGGRESSIVE? will instead put you in Plot 2, forfeiting any Reputation points but not requiring you to send any units. Read below to see how that plays out.
Plot 2: Prank[]
This plot removes any need to send units to the incident site; You may safely IGNORE the call as soon as it ends. However, you will receive no Reputation points at all for doing so, not for sending units to the incident site.
This plot is only better if you have no units to send.
Summary[]
A woman named Nellie Watson calls to report that a drone is flying dangerously around her neighborhood, attacking animals and people. The drone even sneaks up on her as she's talking with 911, but doesn't seem to be actively attacking her.
Nellie does not have any idea who is flying the drone, but suspects the neighbors' kid. The operator quickly realizes that she's dealing with a harmless, if annoying prankster. He explains to her that this is not an emergency, and instructs her to deal with the problem herself.

| Caller | It snuck up from behind me. It's right above my head now. This is spooky, this is wrong. I don't like this. | |
| Operator | Sounds like someone is playing a prank. | Reputation set to 0. Ignore Reputation set to 0. |

Shortcut[]
If you would like to save some time, follow either of the Optimal Conversations above, but select I'LL SEND THE POLICE as soon as it first appears; then send a police unit to the incident site. You'll only gain +2 Reputation from resolving the scene, but will have wasted much less time on the conversation altogether.
This option is useful if you have units to spare near the caller's location, but are getting swamped with other calls that need your attention elsewhere.
