i’ve mentioned this [before](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/things-ive-noticed-about-biotics/25289) but that in particular was about bionics… when your character is ‘in progress’ doing something, they will finish said thing, even if technically they should no longer be able to.

not sure why this occurs or how you’d even fix something like that… put a check during each tick of progress to confirm if the device has power/is on?
