= Defuse the Bomb Mission =

'''Defuse the Bomb Mission''' is the active mission used in the `Bomb Disposal` [[police]] job in CIT. It sends you to bomb locations, where you must clear the area and solve the bomb puzzle before time runs out.

== Overview ==

This mission is part of:

* `Bomb Disposal`

The mission flow is:

* mark the bomb route
* go to the bomb location
* clear the nearby [[criminals]]
* open and solve the bomb puzzle
* finish before the timer ends

If the bomb is successfully defused:

* you earn [[explosives]]
* you earn law points

== How to start the mission ==

While on `Bomb Disposal`, use:

* <code>N</code>

This marks the bomb route.

After that:

* go to the skull blip

== Mission objective ==

At the bomb location, you must:

* kill the nearby criminals first
* solve the bomb puzzle before time runs out

You cannot defuse the bomb while enemies are still alive nearby.

== Bomb puzzle ==

The bomb puzzle is solved by:

* turning black spaces white
* connecting the same-colored roads

This must be completed:

* before the timer runs out

== Cancelling the mission ==

If you feel stressed during the puzzle:

* press `Cancel`

This aborts the mission safely.

== Failure conditions ==

The mission fails if:

* you do not finish in time

If that happens:

* the bomb explodes
* the mission fails

== Damage while defusing ==

While the `Bomb Disposal` GUI is open:

* you only take `25%` [[damage]]

== Rewards ==

Completing the mission gives:

* explosives
* law points
