The heat is turned up.

Shephard's observer was more than a little disappointed to see the Commander's member in a lesser state and decided to try and remedy the situation. They had more than just the ability to watch after all. With the push of a button, Shephard's peeper had caused the temperature in the apartment steadily rise.

The Commander didn't even notice. At this point, he had moved on to pullups. As sweat began to drip off his body, Shephard just assumed it was a product of his workout, but as the temperature continued to rise the heat finally started to get to him. John jumped down from the bar after 76 pullups and went to get a drink of water from the kitchen. His dick was back to regular size and his body was glistening with sweat two things his observer was very happy to see and record for posterity.
