I need an update on what happened last time though, especially what happened with the scrap remains of my character's body.
When Yorg (or however he is spelled) "came to" and the sensors started giving input again, he was in a sweet-smelling hut with a rather stoned old man babbling nonsense. Most of the damage had already been repaired (no clue how this was done). However, the internal control system was still on internal repair routines, so Yorg couldn't actually control the drone body.
The rest of the party then came a bit later, rather roughed up, handed over a big spawn sack, and the drone then started following them around, as it was somehow set to a simple auto-follow mode.
The party then travelled to the fortress of the Oritarsis knights (followed automatically by the drone), which was already occupied by a few dozen looters divided over how to breach the heavily defended armoury, made a deal with a young tinkerer lady with robot empathy, got the armoury robots to deliver a couple of lenses, then moved out of the fortress again before some of the other looters changed their minds about just letting them go.
The party is now camped in the Black Riage foothills some distance from the fortress (with the young mechanic NPC), and the internal automated repairs are just finishing getting the control system back online.
