You have one of those jobs, you know, the one that everyone says, "Well somebody's got to do it." Your life in the ball bearing reconstruction industry has been pretty boring. All things considered, refinishing, cleaning, and polishing ball bearings is not what you had in mind as a career. However, today could be your day.

You and your team have the most crucial job ever because the 5 bearings in for refinishing make the world go 'round. That's right, the world go 'round. For 15 minutes, the earth will stop spinning while you clean the bearings that, from the beginning of time, have kept the world turning. You have a lot of weight on your shoulders, and with good work you will surely be promoted.
 

The special cleaning process is unlike anything you have ever seen. This job you must handle personally. Each of you has a cleaning tube that, when used together, form the system for refinishing the bearings. Each tube handles a different stage of the process, so the bearing must pass though each and every tube. For quality control, the tubes are linked to the person holding them, so no one may touch or handle any tube but their own. Also, the tubes must never touch. If either of these things occur, the system becomes overloaded and the bearings within become contaminated. This means they must restart. Once a bearing enters the system it must travel uninterrupted though each tube to a soft and safe rest on the docking platform known as the "the ground." If a bearing falls to the ground without passing through every tube, it must be restarted.

Finally, upon exiting the last tube, each bearing needs a cooling off period. The bearings must exit gently with minimum roll to ensure they are properly cooled. Bearings that roll too far must be restarted. If you do not finish in 15 minutes or less, the polar ice caps may melt causing an uncontrollable shift in climate, and the planet may never spin again. But hey, no pressure!
