Thaylor stirs, strewn half-in half-out of her bunk, her head resting on the cold metal floor, her hair and the white fur on the back of her neck matted in some sticky, half-dried substance. She blinks several times, waking herself and slowly evaluating what's going on around her. A quick check of all her limbs and extremities shows her to be mostly intact, though her head feels like a baseball after a grand-slam. She attempts to struggle to her feet, only to find that her lower-half is pinned beneath a section of wall paneling. She slows down, wondering how she managed to overlook this, and takes stock of her situation again. She's pinned in naught but her undergarments, and she has no means of levering the paneling off of her. She spreads her hands out, crawling them along the floor around her and under the bunk, hoping to find something of use- but what's that?- She finds, remarkably intact, a comm unit. Fiddling with the various settings, she sets it to all channels and hesitantly calls out for help. "Err.. Hello? It's Thaylor on all channels... I seem to be ahh... trapped in my berth." She finishes lamely, nibbling at her lip slightly. Hoping to get some handle on her situation, she feels around her head, rubbing her hand in the gooey substance and bringing it to her nose. She quickly identifies the substance (and reassures her assumption by a quick taste-test) as blood, probably her own. Feeling along her scalp, she brushes her hand against an open wound- the brief contact sends white-hot pain signals frying along her nerves into her brain, causing her to yell out. She sighs, concluding that there's really no way out of her situation solo, and deigns to send a few more distress calls out before subsiding into an ill-advised dose. Possible Concussion + Sleep = Nono. she thinks to herself just as she dozes off.
You only live once.
So tell everyone exactly what you think.
