Divine comedies

Here comes the sun: The sun rises late, dirty and so badly in need of a service it's a wonder it gets up at all. The moon's going to be scrapped soon and a new one commissioned, but they've been saying that for years. All is not well with the universe, and it's because the mortals are running the show.

But things are about to change, because those almighty duffers Thor, Odin and Frey have restored a thousand-year-old traction engine, and the thing actually works.
