Kala studied the bomb infront of her.  At least letting out a sigh of relief when the Geiger counter wasn’t going off like crazy.  Maybe she wouldn’t die just from being in this room.  But… looking at the bomb… and the timer… she just cursed more.  She had read about these.  First contact war timeframe devices… how had this fucker gotten one… and how was she going to disable it.  Especially after a first glance, there would be nothing she could do about the hard wired disable code.<br/><br/>Also, she remembered how these things words from what she read… and that any tampering would completely arm it.  What she needed to do was to separate the rods.  Quickly she accessed the bomb.  Pulling off an access panel to the main inner workings, where all the explosives were.  What she needed to do was separate the fission rods from the bomb before they were bathed in the radiation.  First, she used her omnitool to scan the bob, and specifically the timer and all the fail safe devices.<br/><br/>She needed those scans.  To mimic the signals between the tamper seals around the fission rods…  as she worked, she watched the timer count down.  Removing the omnitool from her arm, she pulled the physical wires out, and apart.  She set it to constantly give out signals that mimicked the ones being transferred to the tamper seals.  Showing that the bomb hadn’t been tampered with.  Carefully she set her omnitool down before connecting the omnitool wires to the ones running into the Fission rod container.<br/><br/>Watching the timer, Kala didn’t bother to wait and see if her actions worked as the timer counted down from 3:06.  She didn’t have time.  Quickly she reached in, and started to twist and disconnect the rods from the bomb.  They finally came loose and were pulled out.  Just in time for her to glance up at the timer.  3:01.  If her bypass had worked, the bomb wouldn’t see it as having the rods removed so it would still release the trigger radiation.  Without much thought the picked the rods up and put her back and body between the open bomb casing as she quickly ran out of the room with the rods.<br/><br/>She was not out of the room before the bomb timer hit 3:00.  Hopeing her body would be able to block the radiation.<br/><br/>……………………………..<br/><br/>Darion watched as the other two rejoined him in cover… though not really hearing much of any fire from the Batarians now from the airlock doorway.<span style="color: green">“I have no real ideas.  Well… other than thinking we should get out of here.  Go join the others.  I am sure they could use some help.  I am almost out of ammo so staying here isn’t a good idea.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
