The summer got hotter as time went on. Eden spent a lot of time at the beach, water park, and public pools with her friends on the weekends but it was harder to do things like that after work. She ended up making a lot of homemade popsicles using recipes Aubrey sent her.
Work was fine in the cool, air-conditioned lab but the air conditioner broke one day. And it happened to be the one day she forgot to bring her water bottle with her.
She was sweating buckets and felt both disgusting and lightheaded. Even Zim came out of his chemistry bubble to notice what was happening in his beloved lab. He talked to HR about getting a repairman in and complained that working in these conditions was impossible. Because of his complaints, everyone got sent home after only two hours of working.
