It's not locked!
[Actually, she's still getting used to that, even after so long. Back home, unless the door was locked, you just came right in.]

[The room is spare and small, but very clean. Shepard herself looks a fright; her face is a city street-map of glowing scars, her arms bandaged from wrist to shoulder, and everything about her is still just a little too thin, too pale and sallow. In absence of food, the demands of her biotic powers had turned to the only source of calories present: her body itself. It'll be a few days yet before even magic can repay what that gamble spent.
