hi hi

In a recent shadowrun game, there was a scene that involved combat against a mage and his elemental spirits. Everything was running smoothly until an air elemental got into combat with a roto-drone. This is when combat came to a screeching halt as we frantically tried to find appropriate rules that would govern the attack and defense.

For your consideration:

What happens when a drone moving 50 meters per turn is engulfed by an air spirit? Is there a crash test or is the pair considered moving relatively the same speed? How does a drone even attempt to break free of engulf, as most drones possess no strength attribute? Do the rotors on a roto-drone count as movement (albeit non-linear)?

What about larger vehicles with huge body numbers?
