This was exactly the reason why Fritz liked the Flagg Institute. They knew damn well that Grimm are not the only things that can hurt people and they knew exactly the problem with specialization, especially over-specialization and the slow death that came with it.

"CATSAI, scan for power signatures." The cyborg ordered. Still though, Cross-training only went so far; a dedicated bomb tech could disarm these in their sleep from sheer instinct. Stahlfritz on the other hand was limited to scanning the wire layout and figuring it out from there.

"Scan complete. The detonator transmits power to an open relay inside the bomb. Upon release, the relay will close and complete a second circuit which sets off the bomb." the AI reported. Fritz looked long and hard for that electronics relay. ''Damn, must be buried inside. ''He settled for the next best thing; pulling the batteries.

"Bomb vests?" Stella asked as she entered the room.

"Bomb vests. Looks like an open relay system." Fritz replied as he felt around for the battery packs. Being inside the vest meant having to carefully cut it open and then figure out which battery was for the detonator, which was for the trigger, and which was just a decoy.

Fritz's CATSAI used a laser to highlight the right battery while Stella had the electrical paths highlighted on her HUD. The eliminators worked slowly and methodically.

Two more grunts set up HMGs on the boat while the warheads were packed into protective crates and taken below deck.
