[So yeah an hour and a half later Jason and Luke come back from the zero-g room. Luke's pretty stiff when he more or less settles in his chair and props his head up with a hand to close his eyes, but he's talking.]
So, couple of things we found out. That second explosion came from the shotgun shells in Machias's shoulder pocket exploding in the aftermath of the mine going off. We figured out that if the body was free-floating the mine activated instantaneously but if it was tied to the console like we'd thought, it would take about half an hour.
[He winces a bit, shaking his head to clear the ringing in his ears. This part won't be fun to relay, but it's important.]
...and we found out that if somebody's valued this week, they have full immunity. You can be right next to the mine when it explodes and live right through it which means you could probably live through just about anything else. Activates some kinda shield. Pretty useful to know, don't ya think?
mine results and look nobody died
