Friends is the seventh & last Orthopedics level in Trauma Team, & the second & last in the Patient Zero Finale sequence.
Opening[]
CR-S01 has a vision of Albert Sartre while inspecting his bones. Once he arrives to the conference room, everyone is briefed on the pandemic: it's called the Rosalia Virus, a new type of virus that Sartre was studying, which ultimately killed him. It has two phases: an undetectable or "dark" phase, and an active phase which brings on the unusual bruises, and it forms colonies that grow in size until they burst, sending it on an uncontrollable rampage, causing massive hemorrhaging and fever, and resulting in death within a matter of days. With only one week left to stop the deadly pandemic, the team follows their only lead: find Rosalia Rossellini, the natural host of the virus, in Mexico and use her blood to cultivate an antiserum. Maria and Naomi leave with Holden, leaving the remainder behind to treat victims.
Operation[]
This is similar to the previous spinal tumor extraction: cut into the spine, excise the large tumor in pieces, and turn your attention to the soft tumors caused by the virus. It will be difficult, as the blood vessels you must cut are moving, and there's also a chance it will rejoin with the tumor after being cut. Once these are all removed, reinforce the vertebrae with rods and close up the patient.
Ending[]
Immediately after surgery, another patient comes in with convulsions. Hank sends Gabriel out of the operating room and takes over, sending a plea for Maria and Naomi to succeed.
