making the engineers start the engine

[Conor12]

People set up the singularity because it was easy and you didn't have to babysit it. It took 6-10 minutes, tops, and then you were free to fuck around.

People don't set up the current engine because, just like in real life, shoveling coal is a shit job.

Anyone suggesting punishments for not setting up the engine clearly doesn't understand human psychology.

It takes six minutes to set up the current engine. And it isn't that hard to maintain. It's hardly a chore.

If all of the engineers can't set it up then shame on them.
