	~~'''<span style="color:blue">(Optional)</span>:'''~~

	The plasma tanks you get from the dispenser aren't full. Luckily, a canister of plasma is located in [[Engineering Secure Storage]], behind the shutters in the [[Power Storage Room]]. You could ask the [[Chief Engineer]] to open the Engineering Secure Storage shutters from his office, or the AI to do so if the CE isn't present. You could also go bug [[Atmospherics]] for one of their canisters if neither is responding.

	No matter how you've gotten hold of a canister, load each of your [[Plasma Tank]]s into the [[canister]] and fill them each with the maximum amount of [[Plasma]] they can hold. This will cause the engines to generate a massive energy surplus, allowing you to set the [[SMES]] to maximum input, charging them very quickly. In fact, loading these boosted [[Plasma Tank]]s into the [[Radiation Collector]]s generates enough power to charge ALL of the station's SMES at the maximum input (although additional wiring is required, more on this later). You may also lock each [[Radiation Collector]] with your ID so that the AI cannot deactivate them remotely (which you won't notice with the radiation shutters down).

	'''<span style="color:red">NOTE:</span>''' While filling your plasma tanks, it is VITAL that you DO NOT open the valve when there isn't a tank attached and that you MAKE SURE TO CLOSE the valve before removing the tank. If you fail to do either of these, you will flood the room with [[plasma]] almost immediately and become the laughingstock of the crew.

	Make sure to stay on the outside of the field generators and activate them as you move in a circle through the area. Coming into contact with any of the field generator beams will pop your head like a midget in a microwave and hurl your corpse through the [[Engineering]] windows at terminal velocity. It's a good idea to start on one of the inner corners, and do the field generators closest to the windows first, so you don't have to worry about accidentally straying too close while the corner field generators are on. Gens often have a field of effect 1 tile on either side of the beams, so make sure you leave a clear zone around any active field generators, and don't linger too long when you turn them on.

	Directing the singularity to a target area - be it the emergency shuttle bay or the bridge - requires a singularity beacon and a screwdriver. Don't hang around after you plant it, unless you are in the mood to change [[ghost\|classes]]. Putting the beacon somewhere outside the station is usually your best bet to ensuring the singularity reaches its destination, though considered bad sportsmanship, as they are intended to be placed on wires.

			== Pros and Cons with Regards to the Tesla ==
			=== Pros ===
			* Generates much more power than the tesla
			* You probably won't get fried deep inside engineering if the grounding rods fail
			* The Singularity allows you to choose a balance between safety and power generation
			* If released, has a good chance of fucking off to deep space
			=== Cons ===
			* A rogue AI can crank the PA to max and release the singularity without you even knowing
			* Will irradiate people and make them hallucinate
			* Upgrading the radiation collectors is a real pain because you need to precool the plasma in atmospherics
			* Can pin you against the shield if you aren't careful
