  "Overlay B implements the two comcen screens reached with the function keys through sub_06BA: screen 1 ($7587, runMissileScreen) and screen 2 ($7FE6, the DRONE screen built by buildDroneScreen $70F5). Both are centred on the own comcen (comcenUnit $9236 = 49 or 99). Screen 1 shows a 21x17 cell map window at character (3,3) (one character per map cell, comcen at grid cell (10,8), cursor sprite 2 at zp_67/zp_68) and fires command $90 x y (missile strike) at the cursor cell when fire is pressed after the cursor has moved. Screen 2 launches a drone ($97) with the heading taken from the joystick, shows a 14x12 radar (rows 6-17, columns 13-26) that follows the drone, steers it one cell per command exchange through steerDrone ($731E, called from sendOutgoingPacket before the $8D report), detonates it with fire ($8E x y, resolved by applyDroneBlast $72A1 with strength 25 over a 2x2 area) and releases it ($8F) when droneFuel $9220 (100 exchanges) runs out.",

Both routines are also used by the main program's drawScreen1Cell ($5D7F) for screen 1, where the colour goes to colour RAM as a raw byte (D_90FB = 1) instead of (colour << 4) | D_9226 in screen RAM.",
