Animated Probes are a type of incredibly fast-moving cybernetic organisms designed as a sort of quick response unit to trespassers for the alien invaders of Corridor 7 on Mars. They utilize a propulsion system that allows them to hover in place and move very quickly. They utilize two rapid-cannons; however, these do not do much damage. Oddly, they do not seem to have a means of consuming anything to keep themselves sustained; this may indicate that they are fed psychically, are occasionally "refueled" with sustenance, or are never allowed to eat, thereby allowing them to expire over time to then be replaced.
