Infection is Episode 5-6 of Trauma Center: Under the Knife and Second Opinion.

Story[]

Cybil is confirmed to be infected with a new GUILT strain. After the operation, the staff examine the Cybil's photo of the Delphi agent, and identify him as Kenneth Blackwell, former immunologist and Angie's father.

Conference[]

Briefing - UtK
I've checked the files, and it looks like we've got a 97% match. This one's fibrous...which basically means it's a pain in the ass. You'll need to operate right away.
Huh? You haven't explained how to operate on this fibrous thing...
I'll explain it after you open her up. C'mon, hurry! As soon as that thing gets in the body, it goes right for the heart....And once it gets there...she's history.
.....!
Find it yet?
Th-There's something in her stomach, near the small intestine.
...Sounds about right. It's quick, so we'll have to hurry.
Okay, then let's start!

Operation[]

Meet Paraskevi. It will manifest in Cybil's small intestine after treating the initial lacerations. This worm-like GUILT meanders through the body's systems, aiming for the heart where it can deliver instant death.

The GUILT is initially large and rather slow, but also too big to extract. You have to stun it by striking its tail with the laser, and then slice it in half. The halved Paraskevi will proceed to make two more lacerations, but are still too big to extract. Once it's been split into a sixteenth of its original length (four cuts), then will the Paraskevi be small enough for an extraction.

If any Paraskevi body is left untouched for long enough, it will burrow into the organ, and surface in its next destination. From the small intestine, the Paraskevi will advance to the stomach, liver, and then the heart. Once it burrows into the heart it's an immediate game over, so stun all Paraskevi bodies at first opportunity. In Second Opinion, any Paraskevi about to burrow into the organ will rapidly wag its tail; this visual cue is absent in Under the Knife.

A common strategy is to focus down one piece of the Paraskevi at a time, minimizing the number of fragments to manage in the operating field. If rank is of no importance, you can allow the one half of the Paraskevi to escape into the next organ so you can continue focusing on the half you're extracting. Make sure to not let too many fragments escape, as any Paraskevi near or on the heart, no matter how small, leaves very little room for error.

Getting XS in SO[]

Keep a keen eye on the Paraskevi tails - if they're wagging rapidly, stun them with the laser immediately. It's also possible for Paraskevi bodies to overlap, so make sure you've stunned them while they're spread out before moving to extract them.
