You'd have to apply the 7 points among both Ajax as evenly as possible. So one
will take 3 points and one will take 4, effectively killing them both.

I think what he's referring to is the RBT entry regarding Gear/Drone cards
that states Drones are treated as Runners for the purpose of combat (i.e. -
fatigue, combat timing, allocating Runner-on-Runner, etc.) Not much of that
applies to Drone Challenges though.
