The room shook, causing the scientist to stumble. The hot and fresh coffee spilled all across the front of her uniform, and she stumbled into the corner of a console, knocking the breath out of her.
Fortunately she had stumbled backwards, as a large sensor unit which had been perched on one of the workbenches was evidently not as secure as it could have been, and slid off and into the floor, missing her ankle by inches. There were some cries from around the room as other scientists were also hurt to varying degrees, but fortunately no explosions or gas leaks or chemical reactions or any of a number of things that could have happened.
