Moros Engine

The Moros Engine is a device which exists in the center of Halcyon Tower and is used to offset certain unpleasant side-effects resulting from travel between Earth and Typhon.

It is described in detail in "My Name Is Nothing", where SAYER explains to Resident Jacob Hale that the device is used to resynchronize the internal clock of people who have traveled at high speeds away from an orienting body in space, as this causes time to pass for them at a different rate. It is not usually perceptible when applied on the small scale usually used for this purpose. Without this process, residents apparently arrive disoriented or even incapacitated for hours or days.

In the same episode, however, a replacement Mimir-9 battery cell is used to put the engine into a state of overdrive, so that Resident Hale can be sent back in time "at a far more noticeable pace." As a result, he is deposited more than sixteen months prior as a new arrival to Typhon. While this was the goal, other possible outcomes apparently included overloading the Moros Engine and desynchronizing all of space-time instantly. It was also not possible to predict when he would emerge, which SAYER says could have been immediately before beginning the process or 100 years ago.
