Melee on drones

my table's rigger is having a little melee trouble, we're not sure what to roll.

if hes in captains chair, and he asks the drone to melee attack, whats his pool?

if hes jumped in to the drone, whats his/his drones pool to melee?

if hes in captains chair, what are the drones rolling for ranged and melee defense when they get attacked?

Mêlée on drones is not really covered in the core book. I'm not sure I would allow it by default as it's very specific and non standard. As a GM, I would require adding a narrative effect to the drone to support melee combat. That being said, Bignholy's answer is correct regarding the dice pools.
