1. #1! The Healing Touchselective

   Keys: Healing Touch

   The Healing Touch is a mystical power that is believed to have originated from the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius, and all users of this skill are believed to descend from him. It allows the user to perform superhuman feats while doing surgery, as well as giving the user amazing medical knowledge.

   Two types of Healing Touch can trigger, in addition to the subtypes with differing abilities detailed below. The first is an instinctive one, subconsciously initiated by doctors in an emergency situation. While it has no side effects and can last as long as the emergency situation persists, the doctor has no control over its use, and often users know exactly what to do in said present moment. This type is first observed shortly after Derek Stiles discovers his ability, but also kicks in near the end of a Savato operation.

   The second kind is manually activated, usually with the doctor increasing their focus to trigger it, and is activated via drawing a star. However, in doing so, this type of Healing Touch can be incredibly draining for the user, causing them to faint or black out for a period of time. As such to prevent over-exhaustion, most doctors restrict themselves to manually using the Healing Touch once per operation.

   The Healing Touch can be used for events other than operating, such as it being useable when Derek was dismantling a bomb, and stopping Adel from killing him with a scalpel.

   The Healing Touch can only be used once per operation and per doctor, and is triggered by drawing a star. The Healing Touch has a fixed duration of around thirty seconds (real time). The Healing Touch ability is rare and descendants of Asclepius can use it. It can be artificially replicated to an extent.

   Types: Slow Time; Slow Time allows the user to think and move with superhuman speed and precision, along with allocating a considerable amount of mental focus and concentration to that same direction causing the user to see the illusion that time has slowed down. To bystanders, it would look like the user is moving extremely fast. The user is able to move four times as fast, every second will last four/two seconds while Slow Time is active. The user can use the ability twice at once (by combining the instinctive and manually triggered Healing Touch), causing time to stop completely. This is extremely rare. It is best utilized when the untreated wounds can worsen over time, like hemorrhages causing large blood pools to form or burns worsening. Slowing down time can allow the user to quickly treat all the wounds before they have a chance to complicate.

   Anesthesia; Essentially locks the patient's vitals at the number they were at when the ability is activated, preventing them from rising or falling - only extreme circumstances like cardiac arrest are an exception. Any attempts to use the stabilizer will be negated, but it does mean that the user can focus entirely on treating the patient without worrying about the vitals. When the ability ends, vitals will raise by 10. So if it's activated at vital 30, vitals will raise to 40. This can give a struggling doctor some reprieve if there are still untreated wounds left on expiration. This variant is best activated when the user is anticipating a large (possibly fatal) plummet in vitals - for example, against Cardia's desperation attack. This also saves time otherwise spent keeping vitals raised.

   GUILT, short for Gangliated Utrophin Immuno Latency Toxin, is an artificial disease developed by Delphi and used in medical terrorist attacks in 2018. It comes in eight strains. The first few strains were identified through letters that were received by hospitals who had GUILT hosts.

   The strains of GUILT are developed using children with a specific genetic makeup, each abducted from all across the world. These children are designated Sinners, kept barely alive as a GUILT breeding ground. The age range for a Sinner is unspecified; They can be anywhere between 4-8, or even up to their early teens.

   GUILT are characterized by the presence of chiral reactions, picked up by the Chiron Test and different strains produce cells that emit different kinds of chiral reactions. The finer details of the Chiron Test are not elaborated on.

   While GUILT can be treated, Post-GUILT Syndrome can manifest in their patients up to three years after onset.

   It appears that overexposure to GUILT can cause genetic diseases, as it happened to Naomi Kimishima.

   To facilitate the development of GUILT strains, Delphi kidnapped children from across the world with a suitable genetic makeup. These children are called "Sinners" to befit their twisted ideology, and are kept in a barely-conscious state as their GUILT strains are tested and developed. The same fate would have befallen Angie if her father had not chosen to work with Delphi in exchange for her safety.

During her time within Caduceus, she wears a pink Caduceus uniform, with a belt carrying medical supplies. She also wears white tights.] Personality: [Angie is a intelligent, hard working nurse, who despite being professional, can become moody and childish. She can also have uncontrollable outbursts. During a conversation between Derek and patient Linda Reid, a suicidal teen that Derek had just preformed surgery on, Angie bursts in, telling her that she should just die and to go end her life. She can panic during intense situations. Angie is at first portrayed as especially doubtful and bossy of Derek, showing an extreme concern over his approach to being a doctor. This is especially true when she yells at him for neglecting a patient, telling him that he's "not a real doctor", causing Derek to believe he is useless as one. As Derek came more into his own, the two grew closer as a result. However, she began to gain more confidence in his abilities, although her professional, but sometimes emotional demeanor never wavered.] Character Description: [Angela "Angie" Thompson is a young nurse who is the main assistant to Dr. Derek Stiles. Owning an International Nursing License, she is a skilled and assertive nurse who possesses keen observational skills, often being a big help to Derek during surgery. Likewise, She started working in Hope Hospital with Derek before eventually transferring with him to Caduceus. Eventually, it is revealed that her father was Kenneth Blackwell, a researcher working for Delphi, revealing her previous name as Angela Blackwell. At eight years old, Angie's father, Kenneth Blackwell, abandoned his family without providing a reason why. His absence greatly affected her. Angie's interest in her father's work inspired her to work in the field of medicine.]

10. #10(Organization/Location) Delphiselective

    Keys: Delphi

    Delphi is a cell of medical terrorists, led by Adam. They developed and released GUILT. Delphi's motive lies in their belief that medicine has broken the laws of natural selection. They create GUILT to end humanity, as they believe it should have centuries ago.

    They began their plan to create GUILT, but needed the help of a researcher in order to do so. They decided to blackmail Kenneth Blackwell into assisting them with their plan by threatening to use his daughter, 8-year-old Angela Blackwell, for their experiments. Kenneth agreed to cooperate in exchange for his daughter's safety. Delphi kidnapped several children from impoverished nations all over the world for their experiments, using their bodies as hosts for the disease until it was matured. After years of research and development, the pathogen GUILT was created.

    In 2018, Delphi unleashed GUILT into the public, which began a widespread fear. Caduceus was able to cure several victims who were then transferred to Elysium for rehabilitation. Caduceus was also sent to investigate an abandoned Delphi laboratory in Africa and discovered Triti, which raised fear in the fact that Delphi were still creating new strains of GUILT. Delphi tried to bomb the International Conference Building in Angeles Bay during a presentation about medical terrorism, but failed when Derek Stiles and Cybil Myers were able to defuse the bomb. Caduceus worked alongside the US Army and traced Delphi's activities to Eidoth Pharmaceuticals, which was revealed to be providing funding for Delphi's operations. There, it was also learned that the notorious group was founded by a man named Adam. The Army managed to locate a vessel that seemed to be Delphi's main base of operations and discovered they were using children host the seven different strains of GUILT. Derek and Angie were able to cure them all. Derek operated on the notorious Delphi leader Adam to eliminate Bliss, the final strain of GUILT, and was able to stop a widespread outbreak of GUILT.

    Setting: [Trauma Center: Under the Knife/Second Opinion] Name: [Erich "Adam" von Raitenau] Gender: [Male] Age: [121] Character Description: [Adam was born as Erich von Raitenau in Austria in 1897. Adam believed that modern advances in medicine were defying natural selection, and that infectious diseases were a "blessing" to mankind, which deserved the "gift" of death. A potential similarity is that the GUILT hosted in Adam's body had a side effect of delirium while being in symbiosis, keeping him alive, similar to how Stigma was hosted by Master Vakhushti, which was first used to treat a diencephalic sclerosis, caused delirium in its host. Adam was the central leader of the medical terrorist group Delphi, the organization responsible for the release of GUILT to the public. He believed that modern advances in medicine were defying natural selection, and that infectious diseases were a "blessing" to mankind, which deserved the "gift" of death. Adam sustained his life in the Delphi headquarters located in the Pacific Ocean. He was the main operator in releasing the disease to the public, believing they will receive the "blessing" of disease, and they will be eradicated. After the raid on the Delphi base, Caduceus Europe kept him cryogenically preserved, and parts of Adam's body were used in order to create new medicine, such as the Z-cells used to regenerate tissue rapidly. Caduceus Europe call in Caduceus USA for a conference on the subject, which results in a full-scale GUILT outbreak. Adam's body was destroyed after the outbreak. Adam was being kept alive by a special GUILT called Bliss. Bliss is the only strain not operated on, and is believed to be the deadliest GUILT ever created as it contains genetics of all 7 GUILT. Only Adam's body contained Bliss, and it enabled him to sustain suspended animation as a host to the parasitical GUILT types.]

    Keys: Hands of Asclepius, HOA

    Hands of Asclepius is an organization founded by Patrick Mercer that strives to create doctors with amazing surgical abilities, all of which are able to perform an artificial Healing Touch derived from Derek Stiles.

    The Hands of Asclepius is an organization of doctors all able to perform surgical feats using an artificial version of Derek's Healing Touch. This organization of doctors also includes Adel Tulba, whose strange obsession with the Healing Touch attracts him to join the HOA and leave Caduceus USA. The HOA becomes funded by the government, in which all GUILT investigation and research is turned over to the HOA, leaving all hospitals, including Caduceus USA understaffed.

    Partnership with Acropolis Pharmaceuticals: The Hands Of Asclepius is associated with Acropolis Pharmaceuticals, run by Reina Mayuzumi. Acropolis Pharmaceuticals is the company that is able to create the artificial Healing Touch, as well as several other medications that are able to enhance human performance, such as strength and speed. It is later revealed that Acropolis Pharmaceuticals was using two of the four types of Neo-Guilt to enhance HOA doctors performance. The success of the Neo-GUILT in creating these 'special doctors' instills faith in Patrick Mercer that they will be able to save his wife Tracy Mercer.

    Collapse of the HOA: The HOA is dissolved when Patrick Mercer is shot and killed after unsuccessfully trying to use GUILT to bring his wife back to consciousness. Dr. Tulba returns to Costigar to help aid his country's way back to peace. Full jurisdiction over research of GUILT is returned to Caduceus International.

    Association with Caduceus USA: Acropolis Pharmaceuticals and Caduceus USA become partners in an attempt to research and develop possible treatments for GUILT. President of the company, Reina Mayuzumi asks Derek Stiles to help her with a few experiments. These experiments included connecting amino acids and being monitored during an operation while using the Healing Touch.

    Partnership with Hands of Asclepius: After the establishment of the Hands of Asclepius, a partnership between the HOA and Acropolis Pharmaceuticals is established. Patrick Mercer and Reina Mayuzumi both having hidden intentions, cooperate to create and research Neo-GUILT steroids, used to enhance the performance of the human body, while creating the GUILT serum to disguise their true intentions.

    Keys: Neo-GUILT, Nous, Bythos, Sige, Aletheia

    Neo-GUILT was created by Acropolis Pharmaceuticals through illegal GUILT research. Unlike Delphi, who use GUILT for terrorism, Acropolis use Neo-GUILT for profit, mainly by selling them to people as steroids. In order to mask this illegal research, Acropolis worked with the Hands of Asclepius to develop a serum to counteract GUILT and Post-GUILT Syndrome, which was created from the same illegal research used in Neo-GUILT development. They are named after four of the Aeons in Gnosticism.

    Neo-GUILT appears to function like steroids, being able to enhance body function, regenerative ability, and learning speed while inactive. However, once the Neo-GUILT is activated, it attacks the host like other GUILT.

    Convulsions occur twice in each Neo-GUILT operation: one when the Neo-GUILT emerges, and another when the Neo-GUILT is defeated.

She makes an effort to be friendly to Derek the first time they meet, asking him about his work at Hope Hospital and inviting him to speak to her on a first-name basis. Likely due to her prior work on the police force, Cybil remains cool and collected under pressure, as demonstrated both when she helps Derek defuse a time bomb and when Delphi breaks into Caduceus. During the terrorist attack, she is shown briefly snapping at Derek in order to get him to focus and calm down. She also directs the other attendees to form a barricade and take cover, demonstrating a remarkable ability to think on her feet. Although she admits to being scared, she also points out that (by her logic) a doctor has no reason to be afraid, since they save patients every day.] Character Description: [Cybil Myers is an anesthesiologist at Caduceus.

Although irresponsible and doubtful at times, it does not stop him from doing his job. Derek initially shows a lack of focus and attention which almost caused one of his patients to die. Following the incident, Angie yells at him and questions him becoming a doctor, so he believes he is useless as one. While off duty, he hears about a car crash and realizes that nobody at Hope Hospital would be able to save the victims in time. Following a single-handed rescue operation, Derek becomes more confident. Derek has a severe problem with solving puzzles. It has also been seen that Derek is a bit of a flirt when it comes to older women, to the point where he's been called "very smooth". Unfortunately, when he is caught off guard and asked about who he truly loves, he becomes embarrassed and shy.] Character Description: [Dr. Derek Stiles is an intelligent but rather bumbling surgeon that works for Caduceus. Gifted with the powers of the Healing Touch, he works on the forefront against GUILT. Originally working for Hope Hospital under the supervision of Dr. Hoffman, he was transferred to Caduceus after saving a victim from a strain of GUILT. Derek grew up in Northridge, a suburb just outside Angeles Bay. After losing his father to an incurable disease, this starts his resolve to become a doctor. After completing his residency, he was eager to start operating as a full time surgeon. While he was, at first, slightly irresponsible, he eventually pulled his act together in order to save a car accident victim while no other doctors were available. Derek soon was discovered to possess the Healing Touch. While Robert Hoffman discouraged him from using it, Derek practices until he can invoke it at will. It is helpful to note that his form of this skill is linked to Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. He tenses his index finger and imagines a star, then focuses on it to gain an augmented state of concentration. After a successful operation, Derek was noted for his abilities and was offered a job at Caduceus USA. Initially preferring to continue work at Hope Hospital, he eventually understood the threat of GUILT and joined Caduceus, eventually working to become the man to end the threat of GUILT.]

    Keys: Stigma, Cheir, Soma, Ops, Onyx, Brachion, Cardia

    Stigma is a pathogen that was created accidentally by Markus Vaughn and Lloyd Wilkens. It was used as a biological weapon after the leader of Parnassus, Master Vakhushti, obtained it from Prof Wilkens. It comes in six strains, each named after a body part it resembles or attacks.

    It has been known that Stigma stores its genetic information in a film-like structure, unlike other biological pathogens, and that it cannot grow without culurium, an alloy found in Culurama. This would explain why all of the initial Stigma victims are those who have used products involving culurium, like the artificial blood, Hemo-Q. Stigma mutates and eventually becomes more infectious, even able to grow without the need for culurium.

    All Stigma strains are characterized by their high mobility and virulence. However, their mechanism of action is very varied. All forms of Stigma are also centered around a core which must be eliminated to remove the pathogen.

22. #22(Disease: Neo-GUILT 2) Bythosselective

    Keys: Bythos, Neo-GUILT

    Bythos (Greek for "depth") is a Neo-GUILT that resembles a 4-leaf clover with an eye. It is known as "the Profundity of the Abyss". Bythos is designed to improve bodily functions and motor skills, and was used on Annie Fisher to improve her game performance. Patrick Mercer also used Bythos in an attempt to revive his wife from a coma, but it failed and Bythos was removed to save her.

    Treatment: Pre-Bythos; Lacerations are present in the organ and must be sutured.

    Bythos; Bythos will produce four lacerations without lowering vitals. Afterward, Bythos will move across the organ, and randomly attacks. Bythos will create 3-4 lacerations, and will sometimes "warp", producing a hemorrhage where it used the attack, and lacerations at its new location. Bythos can only be damaged by using the laser. Once enough damage is dealt, Bythos's shell will break apart, and release spores that orbit the core. The core must then be extracted with the forceps, but in the process it must not come into contact with the spores or the shell. Doing so will register as a miss, and the shell will merge again. If the doctor takes too long to extract the core, the shell will merge anyway. As the doctor continues to extract the core, Bythos will keep regenerating - however with each successful extraction the core changes colour, from blue to purple to red, before finally ending in Bythos's defeat.

    Aletheia Bythos; Aletheia Bythos appear to do nothing, but they'll be creating hematoceles. A good strategy is to laser two Aletheia Bythos at a time and remove them two at a time, injecting the antibiotic into Aletheia twice (taking out two Bythos at a time should allow enough time for two injections), and then repeating that process until all of the cores are extracted, treating any ruptured hematoceles on the way. Another strategy is to laser them all in the same place, so checking for hemorrhages isn't as much of a pain. Using the ultrasound all over will take up a lot of your time, and by the time you've scanned the area, there might be another hemorrhage that formed when you were checking other areas.

23. #23Organ Transplantselective

    Keys: Organ Transplant, Transplant

    A transplant is where an organ is taken from a donor to be used as a replacement for the patient's organs.

    The procedure for an organ transplant is as follows: The organ is positioned in the body. The vasoconstrictor (often depicted by the black vial) is injected into one of the vessels. Then, an incision must be made with the scalpel, and the resulting blood pool drained. The correct blood vessel must then be pulled straight to the incision with the forceps before the doctor can suture the vessels together. All this must be done before the vasoconstrictor wears off, otherwise the procedure needs to be repeated. These steps are then used to attach the organ to the remaining blood vessels.

24. #24(Disease: Neo-GUILT 1) Nousselective

    Keys: Nous, Neo-GUILT

    Nous (Greek for "mind") is the first discovered Neo-GUILT, known as "the Malignant Side of Wisdom." It creates spore like Nous-tumors that must be treated in the order they appear. The first person infected with Nous was Emilio Juarez, who was infected during a liver transplant.

    Treatment: Pre-Nous; Nous lacks a traditional Pre-GUILT stage.

    Nous; A number of Nous-tumors will appear in the organ, followed by Nous. The Nous-tumors must be drained and excised in the order they appeared. If the Nous-tumors are treated out of order, all of those that appeared before the one treated will explode, dealing around 30-35 damage to the vitals.

    From the moment that a doctor can do anything to Nous or Nous-tumors, an unseen timer starts. If this timer reaches zero, Nous retreats into the organ without taking damage and any remaining Nous-tumors instantly explode. If a doctor attempts to treat Nous prior to the removal of the Nous-tumors, all Nous-tumors explode, often causing enough vital damage to kill the patient.

    If the doctor succeeds in draining all of the Nous-tumors, they may then attempt to drain and excise Nous directly. Success in doing this before the timer expires counts as a "hit," 5-6 of which are enough to defeat Nous and succeed in the operation.

    Aletheia Nous; Any appearing Aletheia Nous will dive into the heart after some time, and release a single Nous-tumor that must be excised.

    Hemorrhaging is bleeding shown by blood pooling on the surface, within the organ, or just simple bleeding from any wounds. Regular hemorrhaging gradually does vital damage when left untreated, while internal hemorrhaging will threaten to burst and do vital damage.

    For small hemorrhages, shown by small clouds of blood, antibiotic gel needs to be applied to the affected areas to prevent the hemorrhage from worsening and forming a blood pool. Other hemorrhages shown by blood pools will need to be drained. Note that the blood pools will often prevent you from doing things like suturing cuts or excising foreign objects.

    Sometimes blood pools within the organ. If left untreated they will burst, dealing vital damage to the patient. The internal hemorrhages need to be found with the ultrasound, then an incision with the scalpel is needed. Note that this will cause some vital damage. Then, the blood pool needs to be drained, and the incision sutured.

    The procedure in Endoscopy is simpler as all that's required is to cauterize the hemorrhage with hemostatic forceps, along with draining the blood pools that form around the wound. Cease cauterizing once the bleeding stops for the most points - if you cauterize for too long it will deal damage to the patient's vitals.

26. #26(Injury) Aneurysmselective

    Keys: Aneurysm

    Aneurysms are caused by the weakening of the blood vessel wall - usually incredibly fine arteries are affected. This lets blood accumulate and distend the artery, creating a swelling bulge. When left alone, they will continue to swell until they burst, causing hemorrhaging and lowering the patient's vitals. Since the vessels are usually very small, the magnifier is used during the operation.

    To treat a Normal Aneurysm, the brown sedative must be injected into it. Then, before the sedative wears off, the aneurysm must be cut out with the scalpel. After which, the aneurysm is to be removed with the forceps. The blood pooling from the vessel is then to be drained, and the forceps are needed to reconnect the vessel. Finally, suture the vessel to cure the aneurysm.

    Large Aneurysms are treated the same way as Normal Aneurysms. However, since they are formed at the junction between 3 vessels, a synthetic vessel needs to be positioned between the ends of the blood vessels with the forceps. Finally, suture all 3 ends of the vessels to cure the aneurysm. If the vessel is left untreated for too long, blood begins pooling, obscuring view.

27. #27(Tool) Antibiotic Gelselective

    Keys: Antibiotic Gel

    Having many uses, the gel is readily available to treat nearly all small wounds instantly. The gel is used at the beginning and end of all operations, to sterilize the opening before beginning treatment on a patient and to properly bandage a patient after stitching up the opening after the operation is complete. It is also needed to finish the application of synthetic membranes. As a bonus effect, the gel will increase the patient's vitals as it is applied by a very small percentage. Antibiotic Gel may be limited to use during some operations. It is a sea foam color. Only so much gel can be used before it runs out.

    Main Uses and Functions: Sterilizes the area where an incision will be made. Stops the bleeding of a wound, temporarily preventing further vital loss. Heals small wounds, such as those left behind by burning off polyps. Anesthetizes burns in First Response. Stops small hemorrhages. Cements bone fragments once they are properly replaced. Restores Vitals by a small amount.

28. #28(Injury) Inflammationselective

    Keys: Inflammation

    Inflammations are small groups of inflamed cells, which will regularly do vital damage to the patient.

    Inflammations are treated by injecting the blue anti-inflammatory into them. They only require a small amount of anti-inflammatory, so a full syringe of the fluid can be used to treat multiple inflammations. While the vital damage done by inflammations are low, in large numbers the damage done can be troublesome.

    Inflammations are usually caused by letting pus stay on the organ for too long. They do not multiply or worsen on their own, but if pus continues to remain on a small inflammation it can grow into a large one.

29. #29(Injury) Tumorsselective

    Keys: Tumors

    Tumors will drop vitals until they are successfully removed. Some even create polyps which must be burned off with the laser - the wounds left behind are then treated using antibiotic gel.

    The method of tumor excision is called the "Powell Procedure." It must be carried out as follows: Find the tumor using the Ultrasound Incise the middle of the tumor vertically with the scalpel Drain the cytoplasm (note: leaving too long a gap between draining and excising allows more cytoplasm to ooze out, breaking the chain and leaving you to repeat the drainage) Excise the tumor around the edges Place the tumor on the tray using the forceps Cover the wound with a synthetic membrane Apply antibiotic gel to the membrane to set it Treat any polyps formed in the process

30. #30(Disease: PGS 1) Post-Kyriakiselective

    Keys: Post-Kyriaki, Post-GUILT Syndrome

    Post-Kyriaki is the PGS that affects past Kyriaki hosts.

    About three years after an infection with Immature Kyriaki and a Mature Kyriaki in the lung, a unique form of tumors and pus form in the lung.

    The removal of tumors is identical to that of normal tumors, but the difference is that after using the forceps to remove the tumor, a pool of pus will form in the wound and it must be drained before placing a synthetic membrane.

    Symptoms: Tumors in the lung Kyriaki was on. Inflammations on the lung Kyriaki was on. Toxicosis of the lung Kyriaki was on.

    Treatment: For Tumors and Inflammation, the Powell Procedure must be used to remove the tumors. In the process, however, the tumors will create pus, and if left untreated the pus will create inflammations. Drainage of the pus will be required to keep the patient's vitals in check, and for the sealing of the wound with the synthetic membrane.

31. #31(Tool) Defibrillatorselective

    Keys: Defibrillator

    When a patient goes into cardiac arrest, the defibrillator is used. This is a dire situation that does not happen often, but it will always place the patient's vitals at 10, and they will steadily drop until defibrillation is complete.

32. #32(Disease: PGS 0) Post-GUILT Syndromeselective

    Keys: Post-GUILT Syndrome, PGS, Post-Kyriaki, Post-Triti, Post-Pempti, Post-Savato

    Three years after the GUILT outbreak, many cured GUILT hosts start to show symptoms, and these have some common characteristics, such as toxicosis on the attacked organ. This was named Post-GUILT Syndrome or PGS for short.

    Caduceus USA and Acropolis Pharmaceuticals struggle to try and devise a consistent way of curing PGS. Acropolis develops a serum that can treat GUILT and PGS, though the serum only activates dormant GUILT.

    It is unknown whether or not Neo-GUILT causes PGS.

    PGS covers the organ with toxicosis. When it is in full effect the organ will turn dark purple. Vitals will decrease, and any attempt to inject the stabilizer won't work.

    Injecting enough sedatives into the organ will temporarily suppress toxicosis. The only way to fully cure the toxicosis is to cure the PGS.

    There are four identified types of PGS that have been attributed to a certain GUILT: Post-Kyriaki Post-Triti Post-Pempti Post-Savato

33. #33(Tool) Forcepsselective

    Keys: Forceps

    The forceps is a grasping tool, used to either remove foreign objects or place things like skin grafts and synthetic membranes. Take care not to drop the item, while moving it to or from the tray, though.

    Main Uses and Functions: Removes foreign objects, such as glass shards, bone fragments and excised tumors. Places synthetic membranes and skin grafts. Realigns warped bones to the correct positions.

34. #34(Tool) Scalpelselective

    Keys: Scalpel

    A cutting tool that is used at the beginning of most operations after sterilizing the site with antibiotic gel. It is also used to make incisions to draw out foreign objects, or excise foreign objects like tumors. Vitals will take some damage while the scalpel is in use so take caution.

    During operations against Savato, cutting at the nest with the scalpel will cause the blade to melt after each strand is cut, causing the tool to be placed out of action for a few seconds while a spare is implemented. During these breaks the doctor is still able to use all other tools.

    Main Uses and Functions: Excises tumors. Creates incisions. Destroying Savato nests. Exposing GUILT, tumors and hemorraging which are hidden below the skin or organ surface. Weakening Savato's legs after protective shell is off.

35. #35(Tool) Ultrasoundselective

    Keys: Ultrasound

    Used to find problem areas not readily visible. Ultrasound targets include tumors, Kyriaki, lung fluid pockets, and others. This tool will not fully reveal tumors unless it is used directly on top of one, and even then the tumor will disappear after 5 seconds.

    Main Uses and Functions: Reveals objects hidden in the organ, such as tumors. Can also be used to reveal the shape of wires that are bent within the organ.

36. #36(Tool) Laserselective

    Keys: Laser

    Another tool with a wide variety of uses, the laser is the main tool needed to incinerate many strains of GUILT or Stigma, along with burning off polyps. The laser is fed off a battery pack which stores a finite amount of energy at a time, indicated by the laser icon which shows how much is left. If the doctor allows it to run out through continuous use, he/she must wait approximately 4 seconds for a new battery to be implemented. The battery is self-replenishing however, and allowing a short break during use gives the laser time to recharge.

    In most Pempti operations, rather than the usual blue laser the laser is replaced with the Scalar laser, an experimental laser developed by Victor Niguel specifically to damage the Pempti core and prevent it from regenerating. Here, the laser is red, and has an infinite battery.

    Main Uses and Functions: Used to incinerate certain strains of GUILT and Stigma. Used to remove small tumors and polyps. Used to cut out pieces of synthetic bone. Used to remove Savato's protective membrane.

37. #37(Tool) Drainselective

    Keys: Drain

    Used for removing pools of blood or pus, along with draining cytoplasm off tumors so that they can be excised.

    Main Uses and Functions: Removes fluids like blood, pus, or mucus. Drains the tissue of Soma and combined Deftera. Drains the cytoplasm of tumors to remove them.

38. #38(Tool) Suturesselective

    Keys: Sutures

    The tool needed to mend lacerations, complete anastomosis, and finish other procedures such as putting in an artificial heart valve.

    Main Uses and Functions: Stitches up wounds and lacerations. Used to close the entry incision at the very end of the operation.

39. #39(Tool) Syringeselective

    Keys: Syringe

    The syringe is mainly used to inject stabilizer, the greenish liquid found in a round vial. A full injection of stabilizer will increase the patient's vitals. The syringe is used in certain operations in conjunction with special vials. Some examples include the brown aneurysm constrictor, the blue coolant when treating burn wounds, and the blue anti-inflammatory. Note: Stabilizer may be unavailable during some operations.

    Using the stabilizer reduces the available use of the syringe the more it is injected continuously, before finally it becomes empty. This is only caused by the stabilizer and not any of the other injections (e.g. anti-inflammatory).

    Main Uses and Functions: Injects liquids, such as stabilizer and anti-inflammatory, into the body.

40. #40(Disease: Neo-GUILT 4) Aletheiaselective

    Keys: Aletheia, Neo-GUILT

    Aletheia (Greek for "truth") is the fourth and final strain of Neo-GUILT, also known as "the Omniscient Eye of Truth". Aletheia halts the host's aging process while inactive, and, when activated, it starts to control the host's body. Aletheia can't attack the body itself; it summons Aletheia GUILT and Neo-GUILT to attack for it.

    Treatment: Attacking Aletheia; Aletheia uses GUILT and Neo-GUILT (some with little differences) to attack the body. Each time a GUILT/Neo-GUILT is defeated, Aletheia will be vulnerable for a second, so you have to be quick and inject the black antibiotic. Each time you defeat a wave of GUILT/Neo-GUILT Aletheia will "open" and will take several seconds to summon more GUILT/Neo-GUILT, so you can use this time to either attack Aletheia or to treat remaining wounds (like lacerations or pus).

    Stage 1: Aletheia Kyriaki, Aletheia Nous ,Aletheia Pempti; When starting the operation, four Aletheia Kyriaki will appear, and start to make lacerations; however, they won't be inside the heart, so you can treat them with the laser right away. It's recommended to treat the lacerations as well, since four lacerations at once will deal some vitals damage. If you can't go to stage 2 after finishing the four Aletheia Kyriaki, four Aletheia Nous will appear. Treat as normal: drain the cytoplasm and excise (in any order). If you take too long, the remaining Aletheia Nous will disappear and make some tumors, which have to be treated in the exact order they appeared, and then you can continue treating Aletheia Nous. If you are unable to remove the green tumors and an Aletheia Nous in one go, they will resubmerge and you will have to repeat the excision. A way to avoid this is to drain and cut the Nous tumor, but not remove it until the Aletheia Nous begin to submerge. If you time it right and you remove the green tumor right before a second green tumor appears, Aletheia Nous will not create another tumor. If you failed, you can wait and try again. After the Aletheia Nous, Aletheia summons Aletheia Pempti. After defeating them, the order will restart. It is okay to inject Aletheia with the black antibiotic while tumors are up - just make sure to put antibiotic gel on the wounds fast. After dealing enough damage to Aletheia, 8 blood veins will appear linked to its "eye". You have to use the scalpel to sever them, and you have to take care to not touch the red vein, or the patient's vitals will drop by 30 and you'll come back to the last stage you were. Keep in mind that when you are severing them. If either you sever a red vein or you take too long, Aletheia will recover and resume the current stage and send the next wave of GUILT/Neo-GUILT.

    Stage 2: Aletheia Sige, Aletheia Tetarti, Aletheia Kyriaki; Aletheia will recover a bit and start the next stage, firstly summoning six Aletheia Sige. They won't be inside the heart, so the treatment is almost the same: apply Antibiotic Gel to stop it from moving and cut it. Aletheia Sige creates pus as well, and these will form inflammations if not treated for too long. To add to your troubles, if you try to attack Aletheia Sige with the scalpel while it moves or if the gel wears off while you attack, pus will form. The only difference is moving pattern, they stay in a hexagon-like form, and they will change places from time to time. After treating Aletheia Sige, Aletheia will summon Aletheia Tetarti, with the default colors: green, yellow and purple; the only difference is that is very difficult to see each colors. If you take too long or inject the medication into the wrong Aletheia Tetarti, they will move around the heart and form diverticula. If you are quick, you can inject the Aletheia Tetarti before they can. If diverticulum is created, you may have trouble defeating Aletheia Tetarti because of the vital drop. After treating Aletheia Tetarti, Aletheia will summon six Aletheia Kyriaki, making lacerations around Aletheia, so treating them as soon as possible is recommended since vitals drop very fast. After treating Aletheia Kyriaki, the order will restart. If the vitals are low, wait for the next Aletheia Sige round to raise vitals before moving on. Doing enough damage to Aletheia will cause it to expose its vessels again. Sever them using the same method as before.

    Stage 3: Aletheia Bythos, Aletheia Sige, Aletheia Pempti; Aletheia Bythos will appear. They will appear to do nothing, but they'll be creating hematoceles. A good strategy is to laser two cores at a time and remove them two at a time, injecting the antibiotic into Aletheia twice (taking out two Aletheia Bythos at a time should allow enough time for two injections), and then repeating that process until all of the cores are extracted, treating any ruptured hematoceles on the way. Another strategy is to laser them all in the same place, so checking for hemorrhages isn't as much of a pain. Using the ultrasound all over will take up a lot of your time, and by the time you've scanned the area, there might be another hemorrhage that formed when you were checking other areas. Another way to deal with the hemorrhages is to draw a circle around Aletheia with the scalpel before placing the core on the tray, to open up any hematoceles. This way the hematoceles will not break your chain. Aletheia Sige and Aletheia Pempti are the same, except that the maximum number of polyps Aletheia Pempti can make has increased, so vitals will drop very fast. Doing enough damage to Aletheia will cause it to expose its vessels again. Sever them using the same method as before.

    Last Stand; At this point, Aletheia will drop the patient's vitals to 30 if they are any higher than that amount. Aletheia will have 8 blood veins and will be rapidly switching its red vein. You have to use the Healing Touch as soon as this stage starts to slow the switching down (as well as slowing down the vitals it drops) and then sever the veins. If at any time a red vein is touched, the patient's vitals will drop to 0, resulting in an the patients death. Take care since each time a vein is severed Aletheia will "blink" and the red vein will be 2 or 3 veins before (clockwise). Also while its blinking, take a quick glance at the patients vitals as vitals will continue to drop as you continue to sever the veins. Aletheia will not go back to any previous stages if you take too long so you have from the point this stage starts until the time runs out in order to eliminate Aletheia and by this time you should have enough time, if not more time due to the Healing Touch slowing down the timer, to finish off Aletheia and close up the patient. So be patient and pay extreme attention to what you're cutting.

41. #41(Disease: Neo-GUILT 3) Sigeselective

    Keys: Sige, Neo-GUILT

    Sige (Greek for "silence") is a Neo-GUILT created by Patrick Mercer. Known as "the Great Silence" or "the Dense Fog of Silence," Sige was designed to increase the speed and accuracy of a person's thought processes, allowing them to be taught and master entirely new techniques within a short space of time. Adel Tulba was deliberately implanted with this form of GUILT when he expressed his wish to learn the Healing Touch, which he achieved through the help of Sige.

    Treatment: Pre-Sige; The first thing that will be seen is the damage caused by Sige prior to the operation beginning: pus clouds, lacerations and inflammations are not uncommon. These must be treated before the Neo-GUILT reveals itself.

    Gas; After creating some initial lacerations, Sige will remain within the host organ and create its gas, causing pressure to build up. If these pressures are not released (by cutting the surface with the scalpel), then the organ will burst and cause a great deal of damage to the patient's vitals. Sige itself must be extracted with the scalpel after being made visible by the ultrasound. Upon being cut out, all the gas produced by Sige immediately escapes and blinds anyone in the immediate area for a short time, whilst Sige itself continues to move around, more rapidly than before, producing pus on the surface of the organ which can be drained away. The doctor must then be careful to immediately patch the recently-created exit wound; if they do not, then more gas will escape and cause further problems.

    Sige; The only way to cause damage to Sige is by cutting it with the scalpel; however, it will be traveling faster than the doctor can usually cut with accuracy. Although such a cut is possible, it is wiser to use the antibiotic gel to immobilize Sige temporarily and give the doctor a better chance at making the successful cut. Sige will immediately return inside the organ as soon as it is damaged. If it is damaged five to six times (depending on the operation), it will be defeated. If threatened, Sige also possesses the ability to create copies of itself, similar to Onyx, upon being removed from the organ in an attempt to confuse the doctor. The number of clones can be anywhere between two and five. This mutation is both defensive and offensive; as well as potentially distracting the doctor, it increases the speed with which Sige decreases vitals when on the surface of the organ.

    Clone Sige; Clone Sige look just like Sige, but are darker in color and they lower vitals faster. An attempted cut on a Clone Sige causes vital damage and allows Sige to retreat; similar but not identical to Onyx.

    Aletheia Sige; Sige bodies created by Aletheia, fortunately, do not zip around. However, they do dart between their positions periodically, producing pus clouds along the way. Any pus must be drained, and the Sige must be immobilized first before cutting. Trying to do otherwise will do nothing.

42. #42(Injury) Cardiac Arrestselective

    Keys: Cardiac arrest

    Cardiac arrest is a sudden stop in heart function. This is noticeable when the EKG flatlines. Upon cardiac arrest, vitals drop to and stay capped at 10, and steadily drop. It is treated with the defibrillator or with a heart massage. In some cases, defibrillation is impossible due to the presence of foreign objects in the heart, necessitating the continuation of the operation without it.

    In some operations, the EKG shows abnormalities before the patient undergoes cardiac arrest. This is sometimes accompanied with the vitals gauge turning yellow regardless of the vitals count. During this time the doctor is supposed to suspend the treatment and wait for the condition to stabilize or the patient to flatline, though the doctor can still operate normally during this time.

43. #43(Tool) Bandageselective

    Keys: Bandage

    Used at the end of an operation, to be placed precisely from one end of the surgical cut to the other. The area must be disinfected with antibiotic gel prior to bandage application to receive full points for a well-placed bandage. Bandages are also used in the First Response section of Trauma Team, though it is used to secure splints or IVs.

44. #44(Tool) Synthetic Membraneselective

    Keys: Synthetic Membrane

    Used to repair sections of an organ after excising a harmful entity with the scalpel. Applied with forceps. Application of the membrane requires disinfecting with antibiotic gel as well as massage with the hand. Be quick when using the synthetic membrane to seal bleeding wounds, as the membranes will fall off again when the wound hemorrhages.

She wears a three piece suit with an almond colored jacket, vest, and pants. Her blouse is white and has a high collar. For accessories she wears a small cream colored scarf around her neck, and a gold wristwatch around her left wrist.] Personality: [As the director, Irene has a calm and collected judgment and is well-versed in psychology. Because of this, she often has a keen insight into the true intentions of others. She is also very good at reading body language, as seen during a private meeting between her and Markus. Her demeanor is caring, genuinely worrying about the welfare of her team and will not hesitate to take over or call off anything that poses a threat to her or others. She also is assumed to have the license to perform surgery. Character Description: [Irene Quatro is the Director of Caduceus USA. It is her who requests Markus and Valerie's transfer to Caduceus by order of the federal government, to join their newly formed "Special Disease Counteraction" team, insisting that it would have been formed anyway but Stigma hastened it's creation. She visits Concordia to watch over Rousseau's surgery shortly after learning of Lloyd Wilkens's Stigma operation.

She wears a blue top under a lab coat, a black skirt, and bluish gray heeled sandals during her time as a doctor. During her time with Delphi, she wears a Delphi coat over a black zippered dress, unzipped down to her chest, showing her black bra. She also wears two black necklaces as accessories. She wears black knee-high socks with black sandals with a floral design. She also owns a black suit with red stripes, unzipped to show cleavage. For accessories, she wears a red tie along with a beaded necklace.] Personality: [Naomi remains calm and collected in almost any situation and doesn't lose her temper easily. While she can come off as cold and standoffish, deep down she truly cares about the people she heals and those she's close enough to call her friend.] Character Description: [Naomi Kimishima is a Japanese-born surgeon and later forensics investigator gifted with the Healing Touch; unlike others, her Healing Touch is unique. Originally a doctor in Okinawa, Japan, Naomi's Healing Touch earned her the title of "Devil Doctor", and she was stripped of her surgical license and deported to the United States for her "magical powers". Delphi gave her a new name (Nozomi Weaver), and persuaded her to operate on GUILT hosts to keep them alive for further testing. Naomi later mentions to Derek that Delphi was willing to pay top dollar due to her Healing Touch. She was assigned a chauffeur and bodyguard, Navel, who oversaw her operations and acted as a liason. During Delphi's last stand, Naomi and Navel split off and deserted the terrorist cell. After Delphi was found and raided, Naomi offered samples of Blue Savato and use of her Healing Touch to Caduceus Europe in exchange for immunity against all charges related to the GUILT outbreaks and her involvement with Delphi. She also then revokes her Delphi-given alias and goes back to her real name. Naomi's involvement with Caduceus Europe may have been its saving grace, as she was able to save Derek when he became infected with Kyriaki and Paraskevi, and worked together with him to save Robert Hoffman from Mutated Savato. Naomi is able to use a third, unknown version of the Healing Touch that increases patients vitals. If Naomi uses the Healing Touch twice, she can completely stop time. She can only use the Healing Touch twice per operation, and she will only use the Healing Touch if it's absolutely necessary.]

Elena works well under pressure, and is able to assist during the most intense operations. While she is softspoken, Elena is anything but timid.] Character Description: [Elena was born in California. When she was 13, an immunity suppressant pump unit was implanted in her pancreas by Markus to control her intractable pancreatic necrosis. When Elena got older, she got an International Nursing License and got a job at Concordia Medical Institute. Elena arrived at Montgomery Memorial Hospital while caring for a gunshot victim. After the operation, she reveals herself to be a nurse and also explains that the reason she came all the way to Alaska is because the implant unit inside her pancreas is malfunctioning, and needs to be replaced. She urges Dr. Vaughn to operate on her again since he was the doctor who originally installed the unit. Markus performs the operation on Elena through the use of the Healing Touch. Elena stays as the permanent nurse of Markus and Valerie once they return to Concordia Medical Institute in Los Angeles. When the two are required by Caduceus to combat Stigma, Elena transfers as well, due to her experience with the disease. It is at Caduceus that she becomes acquainted with Leslie Newman, another nurse.]
