Menacing Mechanics is an expedition escalation from the Ruins exploration site.

Escalation 1/4

"Initial Message :

This drone operation was so small that it could hardly be called a "hive", there were no substantial assembly plants or other major factories here. It looked more like a maintenance station, something that does not rhyme with what you have heard about drones and how they operate, as they usually are confined to self sufficient hives and perhaps operating small resource gathering satellite ops. But a drone maintenance station, servicing several other hives or passersby is almost unheard of. After scanning through the remaining debris, your instruments gather some service logs, further supporting the idea this was an open maintenance station. Most of the serviced ships seem to have been standard drone vessels, but you can also see some entries naming ships used by humans, even though it does not say anything about who was flying them. Some of the log entries contain extra notes on these customers and among them you find something that looks like coordinates in a system not too far away."

Initial Defenders

Hint: When first entering the Site there will be a couple of battleships, cruisers and sentry drone IIIs. After a few moments of being in the escalation, more ships will arrive.

Escalation 2/4

"Initial Message :

This was probably the smallest Gurista hideout you ever saw and no wonder they were forced from time to time to get their ships serviced elsewhere, even though it was by rogue drones. The mystery is how they managed to get in there and out again in one piece. Usually rogue drones have only one standard response to the sighting of a carbon based life form and that is to run the "murderous rampage" script, or whatever it is that makes them go bonkers in a company where not all members are not purely held together by nuts and bolts. While this has been happening, your instruments have been analyzing the drone logs and the next location which shows any promise is already flashing on one of the panels. "

On Site

'One named for 1.4M you can give you the next escalation, Possibility of a Rogue Drone 43-X Nexus Chip drop, I had one drop on the 10/06/2015 and salvage drops.

If the named drone didn't give you next escalation, try to destroy drones bunkers (large collidable structure) and you might get the next stage

Escalation 4/4

"Initial Message :

Again pirates and this time Angels. It looks like the drones little operation has allowed evil doers from several different factions to reach further away from home than usual. There is one more location available from the drone logs..."

Initial Defenders (aggro several seconds after warp in. Drone focus if you're not the Primary.)

Hint: This site contains a mix of Drones and Angel Cartel ships. Mercenary Wingman are fast and strong-webbing frigates, destroy these frigates first.

1 x (Battleship) Rogue Drone Liaisons Captain (No Bounty Reward)

"Final Message :

Off all the evident customers, a rogue mercenary band was perhaps the least surprising consumers of the drone’s services, but still, it is troubling to see any outlaw group being able to cooperate like this with a rogue drone colony."

Bounties and Rewards

Rogue Drone Liaisons Captain loots several T2 salvaged materials (no need of Salvage Modules) :
