My PCs won the fight with the robots that was far harder than I intended for their first fight. So far they've dragged one full robot back to one of the ships, and taken an arm from another one. The robot they took had only taken Neuro damage, but is also the one who was instant-killed by having his personality scrambled by an electrostunner. So aside from scuff marks from falling off a fire escape when his brain was fried, there's no physical damage.
The Tech is hacking this robot to figure out who sent them and why. Should I set the difficulty to Absurd, or just say "you're not going to get anything from this one, you destroyed his CPU"? Our Scout/Fusion Spy is also try via Electrical Melding. The main question being "is robot memory separate from the personality"? Sometimes the tech gets a little literal with the hacking too, he's removed both arms from this bot as well.
Thanks in advance.
