Skinners are long, thin tube-shaped explosive charges that that are known for their temperamental qualities. The charges use simple physical detonators instead of digital [[Data pad|computer pad]]s so that they cannot be hacked, likely making use of [[COM|radio]] transmissions to detonate the explosive. A skinner must be activated manually before its detonator can be used, and it cannot be deactivated once active. When a skinner is activated, its white status light turns red.{{Ref/Reuse|HMD6}} | Skinners are long, thin tube-shaped explosive charges that that are known for their temperamental qualities.
