	Designate someone to do solars (unless someone else volunteers first) and get everyone else working on whichever power source is the default one on your station.

If you stay silent then when you suddenly need something done halfway through the round, you can guarantee that nobody will listen to you.

	~~As a [[Traitor]] Chief Engineer, you have a ''lot'' of options going forward, many more than most.~~

	You have easy access to anything of any real importance on the station, with the added bonus of being regarded only slightly more important than the RD (in that at least your own department listens to you, most of the time). You have the ability to completely ruin the station by fucking with telecoms, subverting the AI with the circuit board in tech storage, sabotaging atmospherics and the engine, deconstructing anything rapidly, and you can still hide away safely in space with EVA gear. Remember that an extra-capacity oxygen tank filled to 1013kPa lasts a very, very, very long time. Have fun!

	The [[Supermatter]] is the most likely candidate for your default power source.

	The [[Singularity Engine]] is the standard power source of [[PubbyStation]] and can otherwise be built with parts ordered from Cargo. It should go without saying that, since the singularity is essentially a black hole, it should stay inside of its containment field and not grow too big. Also, keep in mind that it pulses large amounts of radiation and EMPs, so always wear an engineering hardsuit or a radsuit when you're near it, and keep flashers and other sensitive electronics away from it (including cyborgs). Don't come near it in the atmospherics hardsuit, which had its radiation shielding stripped to make a place for thermal shielding.

	Whilst the supermatter or singularity outputs a metric shit-ton of power, a hardened engineer like yourself knows that it's incredibly unreliable at the best of times. This is where the [[solars]] come in. Solars output a decent amount of energy and can keep the station running at a bare minimum whilst you inevitably sort out an issue with the supermatter, but they need setting up first! Luckily this is even easier than setting up the singulo and you can just designate one of your minions to go out and complete the task, better yet if they volunteer. Remember though, engineering has only two hardsuits (radiation protection but no fire protection), and atmospherics only one (fire protection but no radiation protection). No yellow-suit chump's getting his hands on YOUR pristine white hardsuit (which protects against both radiation AND fire). So get the AI's attention and tell it that the man is allowed in EVA to pick up some equipment. Or just do solars yourself, you lazy fuck.

No yellow-suit chump's getting his hands on YOUR pristine white hardsuit (which protects against both radiation AND fire). So get the AI's attention and tell it that the man is allowed in EVA to pick up some equipment. Or just do solars yourself, you lazy fuck.

	Depending on the model of your space station, there might also be a [[Turbine\|turbine]] or [[Thermo-Electric Generator\|thermo-electric generator]] installed. Both of these burn through plasma to generate energy, but they work differently so make sure you refer to the right guide when setting one up.

	As a Head of Staff, you are a prime target for the [[traitor\|Revolutionaries]], and will most likely be attacked in some way. While setting up the spare emitters, stealing the [[Rapid Construction Device\|RCD]] and holing up in Engineering is a tempting possibility, it is in extremely bad form and will be met by negative karma and general hatred towards you. In short, '''do not barricade yourself in Engineering during a Revolutionary round'''. It makes rounds take way the hell too long, and may prompt non-revolutionary engineers to invade, especially if you start dicking around with the power supply.
