Founder's Repair Drone From Melik

Repair drones are found at work sites and in starships or other complex technical edifices throughout the Third Horizon. This drone is set to not only be able to be remotely piloted, but operate under it's own limited AI. Expert system repair drones are extremely efficient about dealing with standard failures and damage, but they can “panic” when faced with crises beyond their usual operating parameters.
Halima appraises it's value, assuming that Sinovar properly reassembles its Plasma Torch, at 7400 bir. Right now it's worth half that.

Who designed this drone? Kafka?
