Repairable devices can randomly apply skill check failure effects on player twice

What happened?

There's a bug with repairable devices where they might punish the player twice in succession for failing a skill check (zaps the player once and after a while the player gets zapped again).

The intended behavior was to apply skill check failure effects only once.

It is incredibly inconsistent, so reproducing it might be difficult.

Reproduction steps

Too inconsistent in order to be able to reproduce it.

1. Try to repair an electrical/mechanical device
2. Fail the skill check, either by bad luck or by failing the mini-game
3. Unknown variables result in applying the failure effects on the player twice instead of only once

Bug prevalence

Happens every now and then

Personal anecdotal experience here: This most commonly appears to occur when playing the repair minigame close to the 95% repair limit. Whether you succeed or fail, it's possible that you will be hit with a shock.

I just had an Engine zap me twice just because. Maybe we're pressing the button again somehow after standing up?
