	As the Chief Engineer (~~often shortened to~~ CE), you will generally be directing your subordinates to handle matters like setting up power sources and ~~Atmos~~ distribution, fixing hull breaches, and responding to department requests. Additionally, you will personally handle more sensitive matters like fixing broken-into secure areas, re-assigning airlock accesses, managing ~~[[Radio\|Telecoms]]~~ outages or backups, and more. Other department heads may also call on you or your staff to make department [[Construction\|modifications]], such as demolishing walls or building new areas.

Other department heads may also call on you or your staff to make department [[Construction\|modifications]], such as demolishing walls or building new areas.

	The Chief Engineer and their department are commonly targeted by [[Traitor\|disgruntled]] [[Passenger\|individuals]], as their department contains useful tools and equipment. In addition, the [[Engineering]] department contains sensitive equipment like the AME, ~~[[Atmospherics#Distro\|~~Atmos distro]], ~~[[Power#Gravitational~~ Singularity ~~Engine\|Singularity]]~~/Tesla, Gravity Generator, and [[~~Radio~~\|~~Telecoms~~]], which can be extremely disruptive or destructive to the station if sabotaged or misused.

	In the CE's suit locker is also an ~~Oxygen Tank~~ and a Void Jetpack.

If you refill the Void Jetpack to maximum capacity using supercooled oxygen or nitrogen (70.3 K) you can safely lower the output pressure to just 5.3 kPa.
