====== Modified Dassault Janitorial Drone ======

**Source book**: Stolen Souls

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.
