The biannual equinoxes are the only times that the south polar access shaft—leading to the planetary engine room—can be safely navigated without the elevator car, which the late former custodian had left at the bottom. Now that we have regained access, orbital adjustment will commence as soon as Dr Croft retrieves the Spare Key.

@Unixbigot I love your micro fiction so much.
@Unixbigot This equinox is about adjusting the northern shock-absorbing suspension arrays, and then calibrating the southern hemisphere's gravity settings accordingly. In six months, it's the other way around, i.e. suspension or "spring" in the South, and gravity or "fall" in the North.
