Caleigh keeps her eyes squarely on her papers as she moves up the line of chairs closer to the front of the waiting room. She pulls her feet in to avoid touching those of the soldiers beside her. She protects her injury with one hand as she moves along. She does not do ANYTHING that might signal she wants to be talked to... and yet, it happens.
"So what are you here for, Sergeant?" The soldier on her left asks. It's painfully obvious from the crusty and swollen infection around his left eye why HE'S there.
"Just a cut." Caleigh says curtly, not looking up.
"Oh, really? What happened?" The soldier asks.
"Accident." Caleigh says.
"What kinda accident? Training?" The soldier presses.
Caleigh sighs in extreme annoyance. "I was adjusting the crash drive on a re-threaded kazzo-sonic modulator programming computer and the desk axle gave way, pinning my left arm under three hundred pounds of circutry! Would you like an autographed picture of my stitches?" She snarks.

"About time," Caleigh sighs and gets up, taking her papers down the hall to room 4B. She puts the papers by the door and climbs up onto the table, loosening the dressing over her stitches and pulling it off. The upside-down Y-shaped scar stands out stark white against her skin, criscrossed with dozens of ugly spiky black stitches.

Kareen knocked politly and then enter the room. She crossed to the sink and washed her hands then looked through Caleigh's papers. "Well lets see how it is doing. Very good." She pulled a small pair of scissors out of the drawer and begain to slip out the stitches. Then she took another device and waved it actoss the scar. The skin of taned slightly, making the scar less noticable.
"I think that will do it for today," Kareen said. You should not need to wrap it any more, if you have any pain, call at once, and oterwise we will see you in one week.at that point one of the Doctors will reexamine it and should sign your papers.

"Corporal," Caleigh says, pulling another folded bit of paper out of her pocket. "Do you think you could sign this for me? It's just a notice that I've recovered sufficiently to return to my previous workload."

"No, you can't get full clearance till next week, but I will take it to the doctor and see what he can do for you. He is too busy to see you today." Kareen said. "I will be back shortly." She turned and left the room.

Caleigh sighs and kicks the bed. No way the doctor will sign it yet... This temp guy is driving me crazy. She thinks to herself.
For the last week he'd been working with her every night, getting in her light, half-assing important tasks, complaining about the late hours, taking too many breaks and annoying her with personal questions. Rather than lending a hand as the Captain had intended, he was slowing her down!
"I am NOT looking forward to dealing with Private Lacy tonight..." Caleigh grumbles.

"AH, Thank you, really!" Caleigh sighs with relief and nearly falls off the bed. "You have no idea what a great help this is... um, if anything busts around here, requisition repairs under priority D, not A. I get all the D-priority requests on night shift and I'll make sure to put yours on the top of the list!"
