Secrets of the Ancients - Death of Grandfather - Lethality Issue

This is insane.

Assassin Drones have disintegrators that do 1DD with +3 to hit. A single hit from an Assassin Drone's Disintegrator has a decent chance of killing a Traveller wearing an encounter suit.

Scourge Machines have disintegrators that do 1DD with +3 to hit... and cannons that do 3DD with +3 to hit. A single hit from a Scourge Machine's Cannon will almost certainly kill a Traveller. 3DD is a minimum of 30 points of damage.

Add in the sensor packages and I am left wondering, "How can they survive this?"

>!My Travellers met with Professor Ankor after escaping Bureau with some TL15 augments and tricks.!<

>!The plague has reached Ushen. Ankor is dead. Feartay was assigned as their Guardian Laison, she is also dead. The pilot of their chopper is dead. The dead are searching.!<

>!The dead have found them. An Assassin Drone was dispatched to hunt them. Two hits destroyed their helicopter. (54 & 52 damage vs 75 hull). With some incredible flyer checks they managed to crash land into a Droyne tower.!<

>!Ultimately they defeated the lone Assassin Drone but there are more. They don't have their Gauss Rifles, FGMP, etc. I figure the first Assassin Drone may underestimate them but future ones would be aware of the danger the Travellers pose.!<
