Eyeball the remote to make sure that it's a remote, not a detonator. Mechanics at +9 = [roll0]
Search the body to make sure they didn't put a grenade under her, and see if she's carrying anything useful (especially registration papers or a wallet or something). Perception at +10, take 10 on the reroll: [roll1]

Note that he's moving as quickly as possible on these, not trying to delay the flight.


As they lift off, Dave keeps moving, rummaging around for a flight suit or a vacuum survival suit or something.
Hold up-- is she actually dead? Please check first.
