So as we were derping around in Reactor Core today, I came up with the idea to save the hostages in a different way!

And fortunately, it worked! All three of them successfully transported to safety, as you can see above!

Not so fortunately, due to how the game was coded, setting those bombs off kills any NPC inside the room regardless of their location (and one of them was barely inside the room hehe). Still, 2/3 saved - I'll call it a job well done!
