What if you use an EMP grenade to disable the drone and then finish off the soldier? Will it explode either way?

Lol, there's nothing to think about here. You can simply choose NOT to finish them off.

Either the drone needs to be evacuated, or I do. I don't explode, so the second option is better.

Yeah, basically, there's paralysis involved, we need to get him out of there. As far as I understand, the drone won't resist on its own; it seems they're linked to their masters to the point of self-destruction.
If no one gets there sooner, I'll drag you out, Ples.

I can finish off the enemy, while you save the wounded.

I can finish off the enemy, and you save the wounded.

Okay.

Which one are you?

I guess I'll skip my turn then. I won't even have time to reach the wounded with a jetpack, will I?

Yeah, it’s quite a distance.

Alright, I'm running over to assess the situation! While there's still time, save Mara! Then I'll take down the first patrol!
...or before that! Time waits for no one.

Well, Jerod.
Okay, look, the soldier has two more turns in paralysis, so we need to kill the drone. Where is the drone? What is it doing? Is it far away? Can it shoot? Or does it fly up and explode?
Kill the drone if you go before me. I can finish off the soldier myself.

Well, I'm running up and assessing the situation! While there's still time, save Mara! Then I'll take down the first patrol!

While the last enemy was paralyzed, his droid was also inactive. At this time, Ernst Zuter pulled the unconscious Mara away, and everyone else moved to a safe distance. After that, Ayren finished off the remaining soldier. His droid also exploded after that, along with the grenades in the inventories of the killed enemies. Their equipment was also damaged and could no longer be used without proper repairs in a special workshop.

Mara regains consciousness.

I'm not sure about this idea. It's likely that the drone doesn't need to be touched at all. It just seems to provide light, and when its owner is paralyzed, it might not even do that. It can only send an alarm signal, but I think if it could, it would have already done so.

While the last enemy was paralyzed, its droid also remained inactive.

Well, that's basically it.
-- I should have guessed that the drones would have such a configuration, -- Zutter remarked and approached one of the dead soldiers. He picked up a rifle, examined it, and immediately disassembled it into parts, extracting the most essential components: a laser crystal and some other items. He wasn't interested in the casing or the switches. Then, he carefully examined the body for chips, transmitters, and other devices. While doing this, he tried to find a moment to discreetly replenish his strength with the man's blood, making sure the bite wound wasn't visible (or using existing wounds). Initially, he wanted to use the zoomorph's blood from the flask he carried with him, keeping it cold for emergencies and as an important sample. But he decided to conserve that.

Then he carefully examined the man's body for chips, transmitters, and other devices.

He found nothing of the sort, but he did notice that the soldier was not a native of this region, and his ears were ordinary.

Coming to her senses, Mara cautiously looked around to see if everyone had survived. Noticing Ernst searching the corpse, she spat in annoyance.
- Next time, use your brain before you act! You'll be healing your own wounds. The rest can seek medical help from me once I'm done with my own injuries.
Basically, I'm using my skills.
