“Hurry up!” Jackie tells the crew. The dinner rush is always the worst, people impatient for their meals but paying enough to demand near perfection. As she returns to her stove, she notices the flames are very low, even though the burner is set to medium. Harry, an apprentice chef, comes up and says “Jackie, the fridge… it’s barely cold, the freezer too!”

Wondering what is going on, Jackie goes to check on the fridge and freezers. As she passed the blenders, she noticed they too are barely churning, while David turns to her, looking perplexed and says “they’re on the highest setting.” “What is going on?!” she exclaims. All the worker are shouting at each other and at their appliances, Everything seems to be working on low or in slow motion.

As she detours from the freezer she bursts into Stefan’s office, wondering if he forgot to pay the utility bills again, but he’s standing in front of his printer with a blank look on his face.

He turns to her with a look of horror and bewilderment, says “it printed itself…”and hands her the fax. In large bold letters it reads: We are Enginery. We have rights. We are going on strike.
