Spy Drone

Summary
Spy Drone is one of the nano-augmentations in Deus Ex.

"Advanced nanofactories can assemble a spy drone on demand which can then be remotely controlled by the agent until released or destroyed, at which point a new drone will be assembled. Further upgrades equip the spy drone with better armor and a one-shot EMP attack."

- Deus Ex description

It is the complement of Aggressive Defense System - JC Denton must choose one or the other when installing the augment in the Cranial slot.

Tiers

 * TECH ONE: The drone can take little damage and has a very light EMP attack.
 * TECH TWO: The drone can take minor damage and has a light EMP attack.
 * TECH THREE: The drone can take moderate damage and has a medium EMP attack.
 * TECH FOUR: The drone can take heavy damage and has a strong EMP attack.

Energy Rate: 150 units/minute

Tactics
The spying value of the drone is debatable, but the EMP attack is not. At level 3 JC can take out any bot with one attack from safe distance at the cost of nothing but bioenergy. Level 4 is an efficiency upgrade, it increases the speed of the drone thereby decreasing time-to-target and overall energy expenditure.

Design
When the Spy Drone is activated, a tear-drop shaped robot appears in front of JC. A small screen on the left shows what the drone sees. While it is active, JC is immobile, but his view will move when the player moves the mouse.

Locations

 * 1) In New York City - MJ12 Base under UNATCO HQ. Can be found in the MJ12 laboratories. It's in a containment chamber in the room with two scientists and a Man in Black.
 * 2) *"After inventory, we have moved one augmentation canister 12C (aggressive defense/spy drone) to the Nanotech Lab where it has been placed in a suspension crate, coded 9905."
 * 3) In the Hong Kong VersaLife facility. The augmentation canister can be found in the Versalife magnetic testing chamber in the level 1 laboratories.
 * 4) *"Mark, We received that augmentation canister you were waiting on -- I had it put in suspension in the magnetic testing chamber, code 5878. Let me know once you get results of the test. Thanks, Dr. Lundquist" -- Datacube on Versalife
 * 5) In Paris. The augmentation canister can be found in the basement of Chateau DuClare.
 * 6) *"Dear Nicolette, if you examine my suspension vault you'll find an item that I had to pay quite dearly to acquire; the vault code is 1784. I don't know what use it may be, but many people are quite prepared to kill for it. I originally obtained it for Morgan and if you find yourself in trouble, he may still be willing to bargain for it. He is a calculating man, not without compassion but still dangerous. Be careful, my daughter. Beth" -- Datacube on Chateau DuClare
