She handed the decker a flashlight, then unstraped both drones, and passed them to him as well. She eyed him critically for a couple of seconds, then reached out to take the rifle-mounted crawler back.
"No way ya kin carry'em both on da ladder. I's only gonna be able ta run one adda time anyhow."

Comms good, but da only one on da coms's me. I kin relay over da phone to da udders. If I gots time, I'll see if I kin patch'em tagether."</blue>
She helped remove the manhole cover and then pushed it back in place once he was down, keeping her eyes open to make sure they weren't drawing attention. Then she returned to the security of the van.
"While yer patchin, I'm gonna take a look roun. See if I sees any signs o' critters"
As soon as Noruas put the controller down, it sped off at a surprisingly rapid pace. The tracks kicking up a spray of what Noruas hoped was just rain-water. A minute or so later, a whirring noise signalled the drone's return, splashing him again as it quickly headed down the tunnel the other direction, returning again and coming to a stop along the opposite wall of the tunnel.
"S'all clear 's fer as I kin tell"
I'll check 200 meters in both directions, using thermographic vision, radar and if appropriate, ultrasound. If I see anything particularly interesting, I'll turn on my strobe to light it up and study a still visual image. Then I'll park with my shotgun facing the wall (will make Noruas more comfortable than pointing it at him), so I can quickly spin in either direction.

If I do actually see something, I'll obviously adjust the "all clear" in my post
Noruas, you might want to be explicit about whether you're wearing goggles and/or a respirator or gasmask. If I end up triggering neurostun, it's going to matter.
She continued to monitor the drone in the sewer as she dug out her laser eavesdropper and scanned the windows of the building for a point that seemed promising, before settling down into captains chair mode. She used her aerial drone to pick up what she could of the conversations in the garden or the balcony, occasionally pausing to aim her laser device at a new patch of window. Her focus was to locate Pengrave as well as anyone else who seemed interesting, relaying what she learned to Caduceus.
While here ears were busy, her eyes flicked between a view of the air traffic around her arial drone and the more limited signals returned from the base sensors of her crawler - radar and low-light being the most useful in the circumstances. For good measure, at semi-random intervals, she would spin the drone one way or the other so she could check in infrared and ultrasound, just to confirm there was no change in the surrounding environment.
