What is the Chrono-Crank?

Welcome, apprentice. You stand in the heart of temporal mechanics. The great machine before you is the Chrono-Crank, a device of dubious origin and spectacular purpose. It doesn't tell time; it coaxes it. It doesn't measure moments; it manufactures them. Twice a day, at precisely 2:18, we must perform the Calibration Sequence to ensure reality doesn't... well, get too wobbly.

The 2:18 Anomaly

Why 2:18? The old schematics are smudged here. Some say it's the resonant frequency of spacetime. Others claim it's the atomic weight of Aetherium, the crank's power source. The lead engineer insists it's the time his favorite pizza place opens. Whatever the reason, at 2:18, the universal constants get a little... pliable. It's the perfect moment to tighten the bolts and top off the quantum foam reservoirs.

Field Guide to Workshop Gremlins

These small, mischievous beings are drawn to the Chrono-Crank's energy. They don't mean harm, but they love to "help." If you see a gremlin swapping a gear for a donut, do not engage. Simply offer it a shiny washer. They are easily distracted. A successful 2:18 calibration often depends more on successful gremlin diplomacy than on technical skill.

A Word on Quantum Foam

The bubbling liquid in the main vat is quantum foam. It's what reality is made of before it decides to be something. Do not touch it. Do not taste it. Do not think too hard about it, or you might accidentally create a sentient teapot. Simply ensure the levels are topped up. The universe gets cranky when it's running on empty.
