====== GMC Snatch’n’Grab ======

**Source book**: Stolen Souls

Another useful drone is what runners have dubbed
the “GMC Snatch n’ Grab.” These drones are based off
the GMC Chariots, which are older versions of delivery
drones (which happen to still be in use). A number of
these delivery drones have been converted into disguised combat drones for wetwork jobs. While some
mechanics and drone riggers have gone that route, others have equipped the Chariot to be used for extractions;
the ones dubbed the Snatch n’ Grab drones (they were
used to pick up packages, not drop them off). Basically,
instead of concealed guns that are loaded with APDS or
explosive rounds, they’re mounted with dart pistols, and
the darts with drugs such as laés or concentrated Caldwell lily extract. Once a target is knocked out, retractable
arms from the drone spring out, snatch the person, and
put him or her in its storage compartment, where a normal drone would have stored its packages. The drone
can then drive out the front door of a building with its
pilfered content.
There are a couple of downsides with using this
drone. The first is that the GMC Snatch n’ Grab can
only handle average-sized metahumans (human-sized
and smaller). It cannot handle orks or trolls, mainly because there is no room, plus the robotic arms would
literally snap if they tried to pick up such hefty loads.
Secondly, most deliveries made by a delivery drone
happen out in the open, outside of the residence or inside a building’s hallway. There is a high probability that
someone (or some camera) will see the abduction and
call the police or corp security. Most of the time, the
Snatch n’ Grab needs active runner and decker support
to loop camera footage and keep bystanders away in
order for this abduction technique to work effectively without anyone noticing. However, if it is pulled off
successfully, runners could go a separate way from the
drone and meet up with it after it has left the building,
making egress from a building much simpler for the
runner team without having to drag along an unconscious body. A Snatch n’ Grab normally has a faraday
cage built into its design to block any tracking devices
or RFID tags that the target may have been implanted with. A Snatch n’Grab drone can be used at either
residential addresses or commercial businesses such
as corporate offices (though many corporate offices
require packages to be dropped off at the mail room,
and having a delivery drone seen traveling through an
office building will likely be seen as suspicious).
