Should have stayed home. Seriously.

Probably would've been killed either way. It's sad

It saddens me to see quality pipe being wasted.

Wait, fiber optic drone? How does that work?
Last time I worked with fiber cables, I had to be very careful not to bend them too sharply, or I'd have to redo the entire office run.

Fiber is way more resilient than that. You'd have to pretty much tie it into a knot or crease it to cause a serious problem. I've seen people treat them like copper, flattening loops "so they can't act as an antenna", and they still work fine. These are single-use drones pulling an individual ~40km strand off a big spool. As long as it comes off the spool cleanly, they should work just fine for as long as they need to. I imagine them getting tangled is the bigger risk.

Basically they have a fat drum of fiber optic cable that can unspool as it flies away from its origination site.

No, I got that. Твою мать блядь is like the first phrase you learn in any language. On further investigation I'm thinking it was мента, which might mean "has caught" in this context.

So something like: "Does he see anything, has he caught them? AYOO! MOTHERFUCKERS! HELLOOOOO!"
