Description

The Drone Bay allows the user to pilot Drones. It is a room with a closed door (an OOG bathroom or bedroom) with all the tools and devices required to sync with a drone and store the pilot’s bodies while they are synched.

Prop 

A room with a closed door clearly labeled as “Drone Bay”.

Mechanics

There are generally 2 types of drones:

  • Sync Drones: The user’s entire consciousness enters the Drone, and allows the use of all of your senses as if you were actually there.

  • Controller Drones: An older style of drone that uses an analogue controller.

For Sync Drones, enter the Drone Bay (usually a bathroom with a Drone Bay label on the door) with your Drone. Change into a completely black outfit, ideally with a black veil or face covering. Put on a green headband and begin using your Drone.

When you exit the Drone Bay carrying your Drone, only your Drone is In-Game. Your character’s body is considered to be in the Drone Bay, with all of their senses fully integrated into the Drone. Your character is completely helpless in this state, unable to sense anything.

You may continue to pilot the Drone until you choose to break the connection or it loses all of its HP. If the Drone is Disabled, you may remain connected, but it cannot move or take any actions until it recovers from being Disabled. 

For Controller Drones, you do not need to go out of game, but you should still calibrate your Drone with the Bay before using it. Calibrate by touching the Drone Bay door while holding the Drone or controller.

If a Drone of either type loses all of its HP it explodes, completely destroying any Equipment it was using and dropping anything it was carrying onto the ground. Stow the Drone and return to the Drone Bay. You must Refit your Drone at the Armory to have it replaced. If your Sync Drone is destroyed, you are Critically Disoriented.

For more information and the specific abilities of Drones, see their Equipment Sheets.

Safety

Do not attempt to block hits to yourself with your Drone puppet.
