I was trying to work with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) that wasn't functioning properly. This particular SEM was in a grocery store. My dad was helping me prepare the rods to work with our sample. Someone else was looking at samples on the microscope.
I put a girl I knew, and didn't particularly like, in the freezer in the grocery store attic. I let her out only when the SEM was able to look at my sample. I was leaving the store and trying to make a scientific statement but was cut off by someone in a higher position of power. I made a comment to a coworker about the cultural difference between our organization and NASA. My coworker agreed.
There were a bunch of people hanging out in the parking lot, looking at the sky. Jupiter was in a close orbit to the Earth. It's ice moon, Io, passed too close to the planet and landed on Earth several hundred feet from where we were hanging out. I tried to take my phone out. The air got cold very fast. I started to feel faint and sick, like the air was being sucked out of the world. I needed to get far enough away so that I wouldn't feel the moon's effect. I managed to get my phone out and take a picture of Io. When I saw him, I told my manager about the moon landing on Earth.
Apparently Jupiter had landed on Earth too. It was placed on display in a store. The 'Jupiter' was a plush ball, 20-30 ft in diameter. It's presence made the store hot and smelly.
I walked outside so I could buy an Io t-shirt. I saw an acquaintance I had been trying to avoid. They introduced me to a friend of mine. I showed my friend the picture of Io. The pictures were of small, fuzzy animals instead of what they were supposed to be. My phone was shaped like a Zune.
