"Eh? Oh, probably just alerting zhe Minister, telling him someone's tampering mit zhe generator. Vhich he already knows...."

As Archevilledunplugs the second coil the screen flashes again, this time to a stylized T, like what is seen on the guard's shoulderpads. The screen slowly pans to a timer reading
Tampering Detected-Technological Superiority must be Preserved.
1:00
"Blip" emenates from the machine and the numbers begin to decrease, akin to a timer. Archeville can hear a humming sound from both the generator and the power source.
The band around the last grenade in Mr. Jone's hand glows blue as he pulls it from the last guard's belt.

"'Technological Superiority must be Preserved'? Fascinating... but, sadly, now is not zhe time,"
Can Archeville unplug the last two wires simultaneously? I imagine he'd been bracing the box with one hand and pulling the cable with the other; could he brace the box with his feet and pull the last two simultaneously (like Spidey unplugging Doc Ock's fusion generator in Spider-Man 2)?

The screen now reads 00:50 the numbers counting down rapidly. The band on the grenade in Jones' hand reads the same amount of time and a whir eminates from it.
Using brute force instead of carefully pulling at the cable caps, Archeville is unable to free them from the machine as he sees the generator begin to glow a soft blue.
OOC: disconnecting the cables is like disconnecting the cables from the back of a computer; a couple small screws and general wiggling

[Sblock=backfilling]When the scientist requests a paperclip Mr Jones looks slightly down his nose. "A paperclip? Not much of a show in that. You could probably find one in your own pocket." He reaches into his hat and removes a tuning fork, two square prongs attached to a handle. He strikes it and it chimes a pure middle C. When that doesn't fit the holes he reaches in again and produces a whole selection of tuning forks one after another, none of which fit the holes.
Finally he gives up and produces a string of brightly coloured, plastic coated paperclips. Each is linked to the previous one to form a chain several meters in length. "There you go" He says, before adding to himself. "Actually that might make quite a good trick if a member of the audience were to pour a few thousand paperclips into the hat first. The linking would be the trick, not the actual appearance."
[/sblock]
Mr Jones looks at the flashing grenade and holds it out at arms reach as though it was a bomb before putting it gently into his hat. "Um, guys, I think that machine is linked to all these grenades, and given what happened last time we might not want them to go off all at once. Can you stop the timer?"
Mr Jones then produces a traditional wand from his hat, black with white ends. He removes his cloak and gives it an experimental shake, snapping the voluminous material out to get an idea just how much it could cover.
[Sblock=GM]Just how quickly are these numbers going down? Are we talking 50 seconds or much less than that? Jones's current thinking is to power stunt (or invent depending on the time) for some kind of affects others teleport and disappear the dangerous machine into the desert or the ocean.
(Super heroes never were the greenest of individuals letting a nuclear bomb off in a pristine wilderness and ruining it for all eternity being almost acceptable as long as no one gets hurt.)

OOC: Loved that 'backfiling' bit 
Archeville paused a moment in his device disabling, "Zhat is vhat I am attempting... besides, aren't zhey safe in your... 'magic opera hat'?
50 minutes? 50 seconds?

"The grenades are safe: I am not so sure about us." Says Mr Jones. "Anyway you're the technical specialist, what do you think would happen if several high tech grenades were to explode inside a hat which contains more volume than its physical dimensions would allow. Personally it is not something I want to discover by direct experimentation."
