Irina has, to date, been extremely fortunate to find sympathetic ears of her commanding officers on the Vigilant and Duronis II Embassy who allowed her to maintain her secrets and continue uploading data from a physical taken on the Columbia in the year 2172. | Irina has, to date, been extremely fortunate to find sympathetic ears of her commanding officers on the Vigilant and Duronis II Embassy who allowed her to maintain her secrets and continue uploading data from a physical taken on the Columbia in the year 2172. | ||
On 239608.21 at an awards ceremony on Lightside Station (aka The Spike) Irina was badly injured when a bombing caused an upper level walkway to collapse, with Irina directly below it and using her body to shield two other officers from more serious injury. Irina was horrifically injured including most of the left side of her body being essentially crushed. It was only her extremely dense bone and muscle caused by her time on Kjenta II that prevented the incident from being immediately fatal. While not fatal, Irina's spine was severed at the waist and she suffered severe bone, muscle and nerve damage to most of her left side. The worst bone damage was to her left knee, which was entirely shattered and cannot support her weight without a rigid brace. Her left eye was also severely damaged to the extent that even after reconstruction it is slow to track, lacks the ability to focus closer than one meter or more distant than three meters and suffers from glare and halo-like aberrations. Her left shoulder, also shattered, has a reduced range of motion that prevents lifting her elbow higher than her head or moving it back behind the plane of her neck. Fortunately her shoulder does not restrict the movement needed to fire a rifle or ride her motorcycle and with the metal brace on her left leg she is able to walk or even run, albeit slightly unevenly and with some pain. | |||
In time her left arm and leg should recover most of their strength, but the range of motion of both the shoulder and knee are mechanically limited and the knee will always require additional external support to support her weight for more than a few slow and careful steps. The eye is probably the least of her limitations as she is right-eye dominant and the loss of focus and slow tracking mainly reduces acuity in her left side peripheral vision. | |||
