	While an Engineering Hardsuit will resist some radiation, only the CE's Hardsuit, walls, and plasma glass will completely prevent radiation damage, so don't lounge around the singularity once it's active.

			As stated before, the singularity is an incredible powerful resource, equally deadly and beautiful, and in the right hands, an unpredictable tool of chaos: a traitor seeking to force an evacuation, or die a glorious death may find it useful to leave the particle accelerator on the 2 setting or higher in order to swell the singularity past containment. As one might expect, it is typically a good idea to make sure you clear a wide distance from the

			'''DISCLAIMER: It is generally inadvisable to intentionally loose the singularity as a non-antag without good reason. Be prepared to get robusted, lynched and/or banned if you set it loose for shits and giggles.'''

	A safe Tesla setup requires placing Tesla Coils and Grounding Rods around containment that divert the Tesla Ball's lightning strikes. Tesla Coils connect to HV lines and provide power when struck, but eventually degrade and must be repaired with a Welding Tool. Grounding Rods do not provide power but are also much more durable.

Tesla Coils and Grounding Rods have a small cooldown after being struck, during which they will not divert any lightning strikes, so be sure to place as many as you can around the tesla ball, and crucially near the emitters.

	Tesla Balls fit in a 1x1 containment area, and it is recommended to do so to minimize the risk of them striking something important and keep the mini lightning balls from spawning too far away from containment.

	If a containment field fails, either due to improper setup or sabotage, the object will be free to wander the station and cause immense destruction. Such a situation is called a "Singuloose" or "Tesloose", and will almost always result in station-wide destruction and evacuation being called immediately.		If a containment field fails, either due to improper setup or sabotage, the object will be free to wander the station and cause immense destruction. Such a situation is called a "Singuloose" or "Tesloose", and will almost always result in station-wide destruction and evacuation being called immediately.

	As an antagonist, intentionally sabotaging containment is ~~almost always~~ considered "excess destruction" according to the [[Server Rules]]. Ensure you are exempt from such rules before considering sabotaging containment.		However, in the event of a loose, all hope is not lost. [[Science]] can print handheld Particle Decelerators, which can be used to damage the Singularity or Tesla.

			A Singularity gains power level as it consumes more. A loose Singularity will sometimes get lost and wander off into space, minimizing damage. However, it can still find its way back before it dies out.

			A loose Tesla will target any and everything with electricity. This includes the station, the Evac shuttle, Arrivals, and even you! Unlike a Singularity, it will chase down any bit of electricity it can find, until the station is rendered to pieces.
