He tapped the screen beside him, bringing up a 3D simulation. It displayed a flood scenario in a residential area, with a miniature NexuCore unit navigating through mud, locating victims, and distributing food, medicine, and communication tools.

"It creates its own map using active echo radar—like a bat," Alaric replied. "It can also connect with other units if deployed in numbers, allowing them to work as a swarm."
"And on a large scale? A national disaster, for instance?"
