Here you can see the attentive men and women of Public Utilities monitoring the functioning of the Nightmare Engine. Vigilance is necessary since the Nightmare Engine is a delicate piece of machinery despite its immense size. Being that big just means more can go wrong if they're not careful. Good thing for us that they are!
This basement began its life as a natural cavern, but Public Works expanded it to its current size after it was adjudged suitable for housing essential facilities that we might not want to leave out in the open. As you can see, it is now three stories and two hundred feet of well-lighted basement. That's good enough for government work!
See those pipes along the floors, walls, and ceiling? Those convey the Nightmare Energy all over the city for direct delivery to every house and apartment. Not a single citizen is deprived of nightmares in modern times. The Nightmare Energy levels are carefully adjusted daily according to the calculations of Public Utilities. It wouldn't do to have nothing but nightmares, after all!
Why do we need a Nightmare Engine at all? I don't understand the question. Now over here you can see the framework for the Helplessness Inculcator, which ought to be up and running in twenty-three months. Knock on wood!
