[Nearly five minutes on the dot, because she'd been counting. She shuts down the comm screen and lets her unaffected shoulder fall in relief, leaning back in her chair.]
Not that late.
[Erika tells herself: the translucence isn't a bad thing, on its own. Disgusting to look at, but the visible flesh is healthy, and not exposed to the air; if you twist it around, if you think about it hard enough to turn it into a different way of thinking, the gruesome sight can be a bit relieving. Watch for black blood and rot, and feel content when none appears.]
Mmn. It's about the same as this morning. [Stiff ankle and shoulder on the left side, some hard patches of skin in unimportant areas - she doesn't and hasn't mentioned the radiating pain that comes and goes in waves, but that's just pain. Nothing to be done about it, except maybe take some of the painkillers she lifted from the medbay for emergencies, but it's not bad enough to call for that.
She rotates her ankle slowly, pressing against the resistance but not quite forcing it to grind.]

Did the fever ever come back?
