A New Ally is the first episode of the sixth chapter of Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2.
Story[]
The HOA's aggressive recruiting strategy leaves Caduceus really short-staffed as Derek and Angie face busier and busier days. After Angie gets called out to help Tyler with an emergency, Derek gets called to the waiting room for a visitor: Heather.
Heather's been making a good recovery since her GUILT infection from the Elysium outbreak, and apologizes for her outburst back then. She then makes clear the reason she's here: to apply to work at Caduceus. Sidney looks over her paperwork and readily accepts her, just in time for Derek to be needed to operate on another PGS patient. However, the staff and supply shortage forces them to work under less than ideal conditions.

Operation[]
As the briefing indicates, you have two restrictions in this operation: limited antibiotic gel, and no stabilizer. You'll have to work quickly and make the most of your gel. Start by lightly sprinkling antibiotic gel over the incision line - three to four taps should be able to cover all of it.
Fortunately, you still have access to sedative to combat toxicosis. This PGS is post-Triti, as you can see after you've drained away the blood pool and widened the wound. Extract the Triti thorn, drain the blood pool again, then apply an artificial membrane over the wound. Just a light tap with the gel will suffice. If you run low on gel you can suture the wound instead of applying the membrane, but it will count as a Bad no matter how well you suture and the vitals will drop a little.
After treating the first wave of five thorns, toxicosis will return. Use the ultrasound a couple times and a convulsion will happen and more wounds will appear. Suppress the toxicosis again and extract the Triti thorns again and the patient will stabilize.
After you've finished with the closing suture, feel free to expend all the remaining antibiotic gel to push the patient's vitals as high as you can.

Work on the thorns two at a time so that blood pools forming won't interrupt your work. Fire off the Healing Touch right after the convulsions so that you can pull out all the thorns in one fell swoop and finish with time to spare.
