Scenario: A pressurized hanger on a ship is currently full of invading goblins unaware of the PC who is in another room with access to the hanger's tier 2 computer which they have hacked. A second successful hack provides the PC with access to the control module for the hanger bay door which leads into the vacuum of space. If he initiates the hanger bay door opening command (planning on sucking the goblins out into space) there is a 1 minute safety window where alarms and lights go off and goblins can easily hit one of the many shiny red shutdown buttons in the hanger to prevent the door from opening and then descend on the PC and tear them to itty bitty bits. The hanger bay door computer module isn't designed to NOT set off alarms (duh,) there isn't an option for it because that is not present in the programming so in a sense you are disabling the command that activates the alarms.

Question: Can you "disable device" specific software like this with a computer skill check? Say DC 21 that takes 2 rounds on a tier 2 computer?
