+'''Conceptual engines''', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') also rendered as '''Conceptual Engines''' ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Father Christmas (short story)|Father Christmas]]'') or '''conceptual drives''', were key components of the [[Fog Ship]]s, the [[Void Ship]]s used by the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]].

+As well as being involved in the basic function of the [[Fog Ship]]s, the Conceptual Engines served to safeguard the [[Cupid Homeworld]] against metaphysical attack; when a [[Copper-Colored Cupid]] returned home in a Fog Ship, their Conceptual Engine would automatically purge their biodata of any suspect alter-dimensional influence, restoring the Cupid's “factory settings” at the ontological level. This was a redundancy for the blunter effects of the Homeworld's [[conceptual shield]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Father Christmas (short story)|Father Christmas]]'')
+== History ==

Cupid scientists then used them as well as her plans for [[dematerialisation circuit]]s to develop the Fog Ships.
