What actually happens when a qlipoth meltdown occurs on a tool type abnormality?

I've even let it happen before but nothing ever happens.

Aparrantly, from what i've been told, it drains Energy if you let that happen. That said, some tools are too undesirable to use at times (like the mirror, etc), so it may be worth ignoring them anyway.

Same case with Abnormalities that don't have any counter to put down to 0, presumably...? Or you'll just be missing out on free energy (since non-tool Abnormalities under meltdown won't increase the top-left counter when worked on), who knows.

Basically this^. Let a tool go without attention and they’ll drain some energy, which is why I recommend having at least one newbie employee at all time to be the guy who runs around touching some of the stat changing Tools when they get angsty, especially when the Mirror demands attention but you really like the stats of your reliable employees the way they are
