| Null-Engineering was used by O.I. even before Null-Space was discovered. At that time, this discipline was in a primitive state and was mostly limited to portals (later called Null-Paths).

| - | ==== Practical Applications | + | ==== First inventions |
| The first full-fledged developments in the field of Quantum Engineering were teleportation beacons that delivered foodstuffs to poor countries for a certain price. Then came T.V.s beacons specifically for O.I. robotics. Both types of crates appeared from O.I. special storages, from where they were delivered to the designated place according to the coordinates of the beacon. | The first full-fledged developments in the field of Quantum Engineering were teleportation beacons that delivered foodstuffs to poor countries for a certain price.

| Even the Quantum Engineering of that time, according to scientists, helped to see the world more clearly. In fact, this means that thanks to it, technological progress accelerated in some cases. This was especially evident after the flight to the Moon, when it was necessary to invent the first thermonuclear reactor based on He-3. And the workers at O.I. did it relatively instantly. | Even the Quantum Engineering of that time, according to scientists, helped to see the world more clearly.

| Quantum Engineering came in handy when creating the H.I.V.E. Previously, O.I. hadn't thought about using this discipline in the construction of bunkers, but when fear for the future gripped the world, when demand greatly exceeded supply, then they decided to speed up the process. | Quantum Engineering came in handy when creating the H.I.V.E.

| The only thing that prevents O.I. from feeling like gods creating from nothing is the huge and sometimes tangible costs of maintenance and service, especially when it comes to power supply. Still, the Reintegration Center is a cumbersome and unwieldy mechanism, more like a house of cards that can collapse. As they say in such a case, it is easier to destroy than to build. However, when did that ever stop them? | The only thing that prevents O.I. from feeling like gods creating from nothing is the huge and sometimes tangible costs of maintenance and service, especially when it comes to power supply.

| This idyll, where O.I. puts its research above the prosperity of humanity, is over. The Event occurred, the destruction of the Moon, whose fragments fell on Earth, which seriously damaged the planet. The official version of O.I. states that the cause was a chain reaction of nuclear weapons and helium-3 deposits, but there is an additional theory, supported by some scientists, that the Event was caused by a portal experiment between Earth and the Moon that went wrong. However, those who managed to get to the bottom of the true cause are unlikely to become the same, because the truth is so scary. | This idyll, where O.I. puts its research above the prosperity of humanity, is over.

| After the Event, this dimension was discovered, but no one could pass through the veil, nor find the entrances themselves. Considering that O.I. already had the worst reputation due to their actions, all knowledge of the Realm of Madness was classified, only the most trusted were allowed to study everything that Dr. Crocopolous had cooked up, as well as to search for methods of capturing and punishing him for his deeds. | After the Event, this dimension was discovered, but no one could pass through the veil, nor find the entrances themselves.

| The anomalies created by chaotic 0-fields and the broken Reintegration Center pose a less serious, but still a threat. Based on all this, many existential philosophical questions arise. The main one is: was playing God really worth it? Did O.I. really employ such pompous idiots? | The anomalies created by chaotic 0-fields and the broken Reintegration Center pose a less serious, but still a threat.
