Mazes, Passwords and Needy Modules

Mazes

This seems to be some kind of maze, probably stolen off of a restaurant placemat.

Firstly, input the locations of the circular markings, or "indicators". A grid is provided to help you input the location. After inputting the locations, it'll give you a map of the maze. The defuser must navigate the white light to the red triangle without crossing the lines. These lines are invisible on the bomb. You, the expert, need to help navigate the defuser using the map given to you. Good luck.

Passwords

Fortunately this password doesn't seem to meet standard government security requirements: 22 characters, mixed case, numbers in random order without any palindromes above length 3.

The buttons above and below each letter will cycle through the possibilities for that position. In KAaNE, you need to input each possible letter in the 3rd and 5th columns of possible letters. Remember to input them in lower case. Afterwards, it'll give you a list of possible passwords. Cycle thru the letters until you find the proper password.

Needy Modules

Needy modules cannot be disarmed, but pose a recurrent hazard. Needy modules can be identified as a module with a small 2‑digit timer in the top center. Interacting with the bomb may cause them to become activated. Once activated, these needy modules must be tended to regularly before their timer expires in order to prevent a strike. Stay observant: needy modules may reactivate at any time.

Venting Gas

Computer hacking is hard work! Well, it usually is. This job could probably be performed by a simple drinking bird pressing the same key over and over again.

Respond to the computer prompts by pressing "Y" for "Yes" or "N" for "No". If it asks to vent gas, press Y. If it asks to detonate the bomb, press N. So simple that we didn't even need to put it in KAaNE, but we did it anyways.

Capacitor Discharge

I'm going to guess that this is just meant to occupy your attention, because otherwise this is some shoddy electronics work.

Discharge the capacitor before it overloads by holding down the lever. If the bar reaches to the top, the bomb explodes. Again, we didn't really need to put it in KAaNE, but we did it anyways! It's just a couple extra bytes, so don't worry about space. Including the Venting Gas one.

Knobs

Needlessly complicated and endlessly needy. Imagine if such expertise were used to make something other than diabolical puzzles.

The knob can be turned to one of four different positions: Up, Down, Left and right. Knob positions are relative to the "UP" label, which may be rotated. The knob must be in the correct position when the module's timer hits 0. The correct position can be determined by the 12 LEDs. The knob configurations are listed in KAaNE, where 1 is a lit LED while 0 is unlit.
