Page 270 You might want to put your drone into
silent running mode, or its Matrix icon would be a
dead giveaway of their presence to anyone scanning
the scene in the Matrix.

And Page 269 The Device Rating of a drone is the same as its Pilot
Rating, meaning all of its Matrix attributes are equal to
the Pilot Rating

Whenever a slaved device is called on to make a defense
test, it uses either its own or its master’s Rating
for each Rating in the test.

running silent
Opposed Computer + Intuition
[Data Processing] v. Logic + Sleaze Test

So does that mean Drones are special devices capable of sleaze function running silent? what if its slave to an RCC does it lose its ability to run silent? say I have X drones all on a RCC a decker does matrix perception and asks if anything is running silent do all the drones roll individually? so the dice pool is (riggers logic if its higher than 3)+pilot -2 for running silent and what about the RCC itself? it doesnt have a sleaze attribute so its automatically spotted within 100 meters unless its modded to have a matrix attribute sleaze? does that mean drones have their own overwatch score? or does that mean drones act like agents so whatever they do overwatch score is accumulated on the RCC itself?

If you don't have a sleaze attribute then you roll Logic as a dice pool of its own.

With the introduction of DT there are a few options to add Sleaze rating to other devices besides cyberdecks.
