An automaton is created to serve it's purpose, but with his creators gone Ares did not know what that purpose was anymore. Upon discovering a planet that was uninhabited and yet gave off a tremendous signature of energy, but his sensors indicated it was not magic. Okay, then if this was not magic what could it possibly be that would be so powerful as to cause him to be alerted? Well, whatever it was Ares needed to find out. So he teleported into orbit of the planet after weaving the proper spells on himself, only he did not need to breathe. So no Oxygen Independency spell was cast as he did not need to breathe in his body. This planet had something strange about it, and Ares was determined that he would find out what said strangeness was and claim said power for himself. Still, if the planet was strange perhaps it held relics and other things that may be of use to him. So he would have to do something to investigate, but he did not wish to go down to the planet and enter the strangeness himself and then he remembered he did not have to. Why not use what he knew about tech to do his work for him? So, Ares held out his hand and shot a tractor beam from it onto one of the nearby asteroids and released a cloud of nanites, magically propelling them towards the asteroid. The asteroid morphed and shifted until it had become one of the SDT units. Forming a protective shield around said unit to protect it from the atmosphere of the planet, he wrapped it up in MWCA made rope and then hurled it down to the planet below. "Now what is down there I wonder?"
So, the planet had simple wild life but something much bigger on it. This was cause for investigation but he would not yet risk himself. The droid?s visuals had slowed down tremendously and he was not getting any communication from it. Now definitely more than ever this planet was something that he was becoming more curious about. He sent out a burst pulse of magic, that would send tons of communications of varying varieties all with the same message to the planet below in attempts of getting in contact with whatever it was that controlled the planet.
"Hello, who owns this planet? Also, what is the high level of energy that is being detected by my sensors as coming from the planet?"
