The Engine is, like many things at Spacesim, very different in the Alpha and Beta realities.
Engine in the Alpha Reality
In the Alpha Reality, the engine is a very loud speaker that sits on the top shelf of the Engineering Closet. It is connected to the Simulator Loft, where Fu plays engine sounds through it on loop. The capacity to play crashing sounds through the engine also allows simulators to simulate disasters through sound. A different computer will be used in the future, as there is some controversy over whether Fu can run both the server software and play music.
Engine in the Beta Reality
In the Beta Reality, the engine is the propulsion mechanism and power source for the entirety of the habitat. It is situated on the outside of the Engineering Closet. There is also a little-used speaker which is part of the Communications system, but was incorrectly wired, such that its volume knob is connected directly to engine power.
