| + | Normally, the Dassault Janitorial drone is designed to clean | ||
| + | and wax hallways, replace light bulbs, vacuum carpets, | ||
| + | and clean bathrooms. The Dassault drone is becoming | ||
| + | more commonplace in office buildings, as the maintenance of this drone is cheaper by far than employing a | ||
| + | full-time metahuman janitor. This drone by itself is too | ||
| + | large to enter individual offices, but its bulky size makes | ||
| + | it perfect to hollow out and turn it into a smuggling compartment to hold a metahuman body (this drone can | ||
| + | hold a metahuman up to the size of a troll). To make this | ||
| + | extraction technique work, the Dassault Janitorial drone | ||
| + | needs to function in conjunction with the Transys Office | ||
| + | Maid, which is designed to operate in tight corners and to | ||
| + | fit inside offices. It is designed to have the dexterity and | ||
| + | precision to clean all the surfaces inside an office, particularly the floors, desk, and windows. But this drone has no | ||
| + | cargo capacity whatsoever. Most riggers equip the small | ||
| + | Office Maid drone with a concealed dart pistol and darts | ||
| + | filled with an appropriate sedative so that it can deliver | ||
| + | the knockout blow. The Office Maid is not designed to be | ||
| + | very strong, so riggers have to enhance its robotic arms so | ||
| + | that it can drag a metahuman to its partner, the janitorial | ||
| + | drone. It also needs to be strong enough to help load the | ||
| + | body into the other drone. The arms on this Office Maid | ||
| + | likely will not be reusable after making one extraction, as | ||
| + | its hydraulic systems burn out quickly under the strain. But | ||
| + | it is generally able to make it out of the building on its own | ||
| + | power to be repaired for future extractions. | ||
| + | The Dassault Janitorial drone has to sacrifice many of | ||
| + | its functions to be able to house a metahuman. But more | ||
| + | often than not, security personnel have more important | ||
| + | things to do than to see if a drone is doing its job. And if it | ||
| + | is painted to resemble another drone that’s active within the building, most security personnel will be satisfied | ||
| + | that the scheduled work is being done and not realize | ||
| + | that there are two drones with the same model numbers operating in the building (though as many runners | ||
| + | will tell you, there can always be pesky exceptions to | ||
| + | that rule). As is the case with the delivery drone, on-site | ||
| + | runner and decker support may be necessary to prevent | ||
| + | the exchange of the target between the two drones from | ||
| + | being spotted by bystanders and an alarm being raised. | ||
