Dormant Ability is Episode 2-1 of Trauma Center: Under the Knife and Second Opinion.

Story[]

Derek is still confused about the superhuman ability he exhibited in his previous operation. As he works on his next operation, things begin to go awry, forcing him to instinctively trigger his ability again to keep everything under control.

Conference[]

Briefing - UtK
let's go over the procedure for Mr. Pratt's operation. He's been suffering from dizziness and nausea recently. Tests show that wastes accumulated in his spleen, and are now blocking blood vessels there. Today's objective is to remove the buildup of thrombi. The contrast medium was administered thirty minutes ago in IV. Because of that, you should be able to find the waste using ultrasound. Once it shows a shadow, try clipping near that area with the forceps. It should stop moving. Make your incision, then drain the area. This is a sensitive operation, so you'll need the magnifier. So, remember, the objective is:
- Remove all thrombi in the vessels.
That is all. If further waste blockage occurs, the patient's vitals will drop.
Remember to work quickly, but with precision.
Let's begin the operation!
Briefing - SO
Let's go over the procedure for Mr. Pratt's operation. He's been suffering from dizziness and nausea recently. Tests show that wastes accumulated in his spleen, and are now blocking blood vessels there. Today objective is to remove the buildup of thrombi. The contrast medium was administered thirty minutes ago in IV. Because of that, you should be able to find the waste material using ultrasound. Once it shows a shadow, try clipping near that area with the forceps. It should stop moving. Make your incision, then drain the area. This is a sensitive operation, so you'll need to make proper use of magnification. Remember, the operation is:
- Remove all thrombi in the vessels.
That is all. If further waste blockage occurs, the patient's vitals will drop.
Remember to stay calm and keep it steady.
Let's begin the operation!

Operation[]

Start by magnifying the spleen. Your objective is to locate the thrombi with the ultrasound. Once you have them visualized, immobilize with the forceps, then incise and drain. The thrombi don't stay immobilized for very long, so work quickly. You have about five thrombi to remove; gel the incision spots and the next phase of the operation kicks in.

The change in blood flow causes the thrombi to move a lot faster. After a few seconds, Derek's Healing Touch will trigger, and you can catch and remove the thrombi at your leisure.

Getting XS in SO[]

The biggest issue is the thrombus bonus. You should have no problems with keeping the first wave of five thrombi under control. When the second phase of the operation kicks in, focus entirely on keeping the thrombi visualized and immobilized until Derek's Healing Touch activates. Once that happens, you are free to cut and drain to finish the operation.
