I have no time for this game. I'll just use my quick thinking to figure this out automatically.

You stare at the screen and icons for a while, trying to figure out what they mean, mentally working out the colors and the flashing in your mind. You also use your magic to help you out, generating an illusory puzzle so that you can estimate the possibilities as best as you can. Eventually, you think you've come up with a solution to the flashing icons. Well, at least, you hope that it's the correct sequence of colors that you should hit, otherwise you could end up detonating the bombs early. You take a deep breath, telling yourself that you shouldn't hesitate and you press the icons in the sequence that the device indicates that you should.

After you push the final icon, the trigger screen dims and shuts down. You wonder what's going on right now and you peer outside the window. So far you don't see anything and you glance at the timer on your HUD. You still have some time left, though it's definitely not enough time for you to go out and defuse the bombs since the trigger didn't indicate where the bombs are located. As you wait for the timer to run down, you pace about worriedly. You've already done your part as best as you can and Larry has already reported to Balogh. Down in the streets you see some signs of activity and siren lights. The authorities have been informed of this at least, you think to yourself.

After a while, the timer reach zero.
