At some point you'll come across a 'reactor' kinda machine which has 'borrowed' not only its look, but particularly its sound from the 'machine' from 'Contact'. 'Teleportation', 'portals' and the machinery to do it play a big part in the game, again referencing the 'purpose' of the machine in Contact
