    Needy Dialog

    The question can be "Vent gas?" (Y) or "Detonate?" (N)

    To be sure, press "No" first. When the question is "Vent gas?" the module will remind you that "Venting prevents explosions". However, when you answer "Yes" to "Detonate?" The bomb will explode without warning.

    Needy Capacitator (a.k.a. "Lever")

    Pull the lever to drain the electricity, which will otherwise accumulate in 45 seconds.

    When you neglect it too long, you will hear the module make a sound in the background. When you hear it, abandon what you're doing and hold down the lever immediately.
