I'm working on making a Lone Star plainclothes cop who also has demolitions/bomb squad training, and can rig drones to defuse them.

Now, the question is...If you were defusing a bomb, would you use Demolitions Background, or Demolitions Active? Me and my friend had somewhat of an argument over this. I argue that Demo Background covers the workings of an explosive device and therefore which wire to cut to avoid nuking yourself. My friend argues that Demo Active covers the process of setting, measuring, and everything else associated with setting a bomb.

Any comments? :cyber:
