With the entire Republic and Thalar fleets in pitched battle around them, the PC's infiltrated the base, fought their way past the Thalar still there, and finally got to the bomb.Me: "You've managed to hack into the Thalar detonator's computer. There's a timer and an initial charge, but not much else. You don't have anything close to the demolitions skill necessary to defuse it. What do you want to do? It's currently at 20 seconds ... 19 ... 18..."Player: "I reprogram the timer to start counting up. *3d6* I make my computer programming roll by 6."Me: "19 ... 20 ... 21 ... 22..."Players: *all break into cheers and high-fives, having saved the world*That was a great gaming day. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />   -The Gneech <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
