6. The admins over-reacted, I think
It was only a SMALL black hole, for pete's sake. If the magnetic containment hadn't failed, we would have had the coolest garbage disposal ever!

I would have to kill you if I told you.

8. I was modding the Lounge at the time of the incident...
I don't want to talk about it. Even if I was allowed to talk about it, I still wouldn't.

10. Well you know, the nacelle were admitting tachyon particles and
the Jeffrey Tubes were misaligned. The core had to be ejected and the replicators were making ham salad sandwiches and Raktigeno instead of chicken salad and Earl Grey tea. So O'Brien said "Fuck it. Fire up the particle accelerator." Things got messy at that point and headquarters won't let us have one anymore.

11. It's been unplugged ever since the unfortunate disintegrations.
You'll have to ask a mod for details.

14. Meh. 'Particle Accelerator'. Kid's toy.
It got put in the lounge basement after the 4.3K PW Neutrino Generator went online.

You can push the Earth out of the plane of the ecliptic with that thing.
