Drone

In Heichland Arcology, one of the vocations which is assigned to inhabitants is that of Drone. Drones are considered unskilled and of poor aptitude to hold any other position. They are generally looked down upon by workers within more specialist branches.

Duties
Drones are expected to perform two unique duties, in addition to the general duties keeping themselves fit and healthy with proper exercise and nutrition. One duty is to operate an archaeotron, a computer which is used to analyse and categorise images based on the dominant emotion the drone feels when they view the image. This essentially aids the administration in filtering through vast archives of cultural significance. A form of crowdsourcing which AI cannot perform.

The other duty the drone is expected to carry out is to submit samples of DNA to a machine called the DNA Collector. The samples are used to study epigenetic drift so that the genomes can be added to a backup database.
