A much abridged sample of the 432 shift duties from a minor Iron Mountain outpost:

• Monitor pressure gauge on atmospheric content cycler.

Failure to maintain pressure at approximately 760 torr can result in explosive decompression of world machine components.

• Remove detritus from oceanic-atmospheric nitrogenous filter.

Failure to keep filter clean and azotic air flow constant can result in catastrophic failure of phlogisticated soil fixation.

• Pull magma decompressionator lever in following sequence - left 1 second, right 1 second, left 2 seconds, right 3 seconds, left 5 seconds, right 8 seconds, left 13 seconds, right 21 seconds, left 34 seconds, right 55 seconds, reset to null position. Repeat.

Failure to maintain adequate magma effulsion rate can result in pyroclastic density current.

• Enter Valenzetti coeffecients into Swan Protocol difference engine every 108 minutes.

Failure to enter Valenzetti coefficients at appointed interval can result in catastrophic electromagnetic flux.

• Replace 7-toothed gears on solar-velocity track as needed. Lubicrate new gears with six-tenths of one gill of liquified lascar.

Failure to maintain gears at optimal efficiency can result in catastrophic nyctogenesis (e.g., The Darkness)

• Push central gules button on aerodramatic exchange ventilator with precisely two water column inches of force every 17 seconds.

Failure to press button with sufficient force has resulted in complete linguistic comprehension breakdown in an area measured at 17 arpents from epicenter of process failure. Overpressure on button may result in spontaneous combustion of all jolanti within six versts of epicenter of process failure. Failure to press button at indicated temporal interval may result in overall systemic glandular failure of local fauna.

• Adjust seasonal-processing-axis to maintain speed of less than 1000 mega-cycles per second.

Overclocking of seasonal-processing-axis may result in catastrophic drought. Rotational speed below 700 mega-cycles per second may result in advance of northern glacial body.
