I never thought of that, but now you mention it you're probably right. How
about minimum security for activation, out of 255? On second thoughts, no.
Level 1 armoury: 5011 FFCD. Level 4 McLeod's office: 5014 FF60. Level 1
elevator: 5011 FF60. I submit that 501x == level x security, likely
counting down from 0.

Panel actions seem to be mostly the same format as triggers, check the
specs.

Blerh. So the puzzle info only stores the default state.
