That's fine you have reactivated the drones and can use their sensors and weaponry. The charging station relays to you, that there are
2 drones operational on the sub level
2 drones operational on level 1, 3 not responding
3 drones operational on level 2, 2 not responding
4 drones operational on level 3, 1 not responding
1 drones operational on level 4, 1 not responding
2 drones operational on level 5, 1 not responding

All operational drones are wheeled or crawlers every drone carries a 4 shot tazer.

And as mentioned before, Orokos is fine.

2 drones operational on level 1, 3 not responding

So, if we repair one drone, than none is working, right?

I'll hack on of the drones on level 3 and send it upstairs. Can the wheeled ones do the stairs? Otherwises I'd have to default on crawlers. Can I just kind of reset the programming and let the autopilot do the actual movement? Defaulting, I'd have no more than one die...

[SquirrelDude]

So we just robbed 5 guys of their ammunition? What did we come up with?

No, may be I should have said how many drones there are in total on every level. It's 5 for level 1

@all
I'll post a longer post this evening, so be patient 

[Volker]

I'd have several questions:

• Is there any means how we can block the elevator and the stairs? (remove the mechanical override or something?)
• Did I get it right that the captives (and hopefully Schmitt) are in 133 or 127?
• How are the doors locked?
• Have both of the drones access to the room with the captives?

[Jack_Spade]

-You could gum up the locks, yes. The elevator is already blocked. The intruders forced their way through thanks to their shiny new laser weapons.
-Yes, they are in 133
-The doors are locked through the security host (Tartaros). They can be opened through a combination of biometric scanner and a key card or through the use of a complex mechanical key.
- No, only one  drone is within the room

[Sabato Kuroi]

can the door be opened with old fashioned locksmith?

remove the case etc?

[Jack_Spade]

Yes, but the mechanical lock is very complex. You'll need good skill or edge.

[Sabato Kuroi]

I assume we can get the override key from the intruders on our floor.Otherwise I got a locksmith dicepool of 10 and 2 remaining Edge.I can also use some enhance agility

[Jack_Spade]

I'm away from my books at the moment, but that dice pool seems sufficient to try.
You don't know how many keys there are, but you can guess that only a few people would have one (chief of security, the exec and the lab chief would be obvious candidates)

[SquirrelDude]

Making sure you didn't miss this.

So we just robbed 5 guys of their ammunition? What did we come up with?

[Jack_Spade]

As mentioned before:
They carry two clips standard, two stick'n shock and one flechette. Their guns are loaded with a partially depleted stick'n shock clip (or rather they reloaded and now carry the partially depleted one with the others.
In addition they have their Brownings Ultra-Powers with two extra clips, all filled with standard.
Each one also carried two flash bangs.

Just to confirm I got this right:
 Unless we go for the Exec, who's surrounded by heavy hitters with laser guns at the moment , we'll have to roll locksmith and hope for the best

[Jack_Spade]

That, or one of the wounded carries a key.

[Volker]

That, or I hack the lock. Via the biometric scanner, a direct link seems plausible. The marks I got so far by using a direct link are on Hades, right? Ah, btw, I'd like to switch on my Baby monitor for a second to check my OS
