    Story time with Tyler!
    Growing up, I lived very close to a working nuclear reactor. (Several actually, but only 2 generated electricity.) While in Boy Scouts, my troop got to tour some of the facilities, including the training sim. At the end of the tour in the sim, the guide told us we had 5 minutes to cause a meltdown in the reactor. All the boys started going nuts, flipping switches and pushing buttons. Thing is, they were just activating safety systems and shutting it down. I was the only one looking for what buttons would override things and flush coolant.
    Long story short, there are a lot more buttons that for safety than there are to blow it up.

    This reminds me of an old mobile game called SpaceTeam. It requires multiple players so I didn’t play it very often but basically each player is cooperating to maintain your spaceship during flight, each player’s phone has a set of “controls” like buttons, switches, dials, etc. and a bar near the top that displays your current objective. Each player’s objective corresponds to adjusting one of the controls but they might not be on your panel. So everyone is scrambling to adjust their stuff while trying to communicate the tasks with each other so the other players can do their tasks.
