What a complete mess. The young Indian woman's quarters were a
jumble of dirt and debris. She hadn't really seen them since before
the Away mission to the planet, duty and Sickbay kept her too busy
until now.

With a deep sigh, Indi began moving things to the center of the room.
Mostly it was her personal belongings that had gotten tossed around
the room and damaged beyond hope. However some of the power relays
behind the walls had exploded, leaving some of the wall panels hanging
dangerously askew. Grabbing one firmly, with a little guidance,
Indira managed to pull it off the wall and straight onto her "garbage
pile".

The one next to it was not so easy, though. After a few tugs without
budging, Indi moved to brace herself against the wall better.
Gripping it tightly with both hands, she grunted and pulled, feeling
it slowly begin to give way. She wasn't expecting the loud pop as the
panel broke free, or the searing pain as it jerked her arm downward,
dislocating her right shoulder.

Swearing loudly in four languages, the young Doctor sank to the floor,
gritting her teeth. Gently she probed the shoulder socket with the
fingertips of her left hand, making her right hand tingle numbly.

"Today, is just not going to be my day." Gripping her right wrist
firmly, a rough jerk pulled the humerus head back into her shoulder
socket.

Indira stood and pulled a hypospray out of the medical kit she kept in
her quarters, administering herself a small dose of rexalin for the
pain before heading to the bathroom. "I just need a shower and a
nap." Stripping down, she stepped into the sonic shower. Nothing
happened. Groaning in frustration, she punched commands into the
small settings console futilely. Whatever power relay malfunctions
had made a mess of her quarters obviously also controlled the shower.

Sighing, Indi stepped out of the bathroom and got dressed again. At
least the clean clothes felt better, even if her skin still felt grimy
from the long hours she'd just put in. Grabbing her comm badge from
her discarded uniform, she pinned it on and headed back out into the
hallway.
