I guess I assumed no because I didn't see otherwise; OA's suggestion does
make more sense. However, while there's always the very thin PSB that
further damage might 'shake things into place', I'd suggest that any
further rolls only shorten, not lengthen, the time.

Actually, a second roll for threshold result should probably be 'immediate
system failure unless a d20 roll less than remaining turns, which result
then becomes remaining turns'.

Wait! When would a vacchead have anything other than d6's? ;->=

That said, a second chance for a core threshold check has to be a VERY rare
occurance, right?
