We finally did it. We finally had "the run".

This is the Praetorian, a gargantuan 161-module challenge bomb in KTaNE originally made for The Great Berate. After their solve, it has been almost a year and a half since another solve of it, and now, we finally present to you, another team solve.

Please note this this run actually happened almost a month ago from when this video was uploaded. Also, I'm not sure why there's this gradually increasing delay that makes the audio and video out of sync. It wasn't like that when I edited the video. (Edit: I recently found out this delay isn't present on mobile. Huh.)

I would say the run itself was very good, but there were some mistakes that I would improve on:

- Management was a little off. I wasn't always quick to give out work and my experts idled a couple times. In my defense, this bomb is an absolute ball-buster for the defuser, and it's hard to see certain modules sometimes.
- Holding off answering Souvenir questions. The plan was to first answer Souvenir after The Swan was solved, and then answer it after every 30-40 solves. Procyon mentioned after the run that he would've notified me when he wanted to answer it, but he forgot.
- Striking. Procyon struck twice and Deaf struck once. Fortunately, they were late enough where the time lost wasn't too detrimental. I had some misreads myself, but they didn't result in strikes, thankfully.
