Mournful Hero is the third First Response level in Trauma Team.
Opening[]
Maria is invited to dinner with Emma and Darnell, but declines. Once they're gone, she wonders what's gotten into her. She then lies on the roof when Hank finds her and asks what's up. Maria grumpily rebuffs him, but Hank sits down beside her and says nothing. Maria talks for a while about how useless she sees other people. Hank asks why she has to always be right. Maria explains that she's wanted to be a hero since she was 14, when she accidentally set her orphanage on fire and rescued another young girl there. Hank asks what's wrong with what she did. Maria explains that the other girl's thanks made her happy. Hank asks her if she stayed in touch with her, and Maria remembers that she got a letter but hasn't opened it yet. Hank tells her that no one can do everything alone and leaves. Once Maria is back home, she thinks over Hank's words, denying that people can do nothing alone. The ghost girl then reappears and repeats, "Beginning". Maria grumbles that she's tired of "idiots" and tells her to go away. Soon after, she notices that a ship in the harbor has run aground.
Operation[]
The first patient is in cardiac arrest, and needs immediate chest compressions. This will bring her around, but the second patient will get your attention. While you're perhaps off treating other patients, she will continue to go into cardiac arrest. After saving her three times, she can be sent off.
The second patient has an injury to his arm, and adds that there are two more victims besides the initial three. Soak up the blood in his arm with absorbent gauze and apply a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. Place synthetic membranes over the wound and he's good to go.
The third patient will need to have a sleeve cut off, revealing burns. Treat these with antibiotic gel and synthetic membranes. After she's done, the next two victims will be brought in.
The fourth patient is in respiratory arrest, requiring an unusual method of treatment: Use a box cutter to make an incision into her trachea, then insert a ballpoint pen, which will secure her airway. After this, strike the patient's chest. This will be enough to stabilize her.
The fifth patient has wounds to his abdomen. Soak up the blood, cut off his shirt, soak up some more blood and treat his wounds. However, he will suddenly be revealed to have a pneumothorax. Disinfect the chest, then use the same method as opening the airway: Open the chest with the box cutter, then release the air with a pen. He'll calm down and allow you to then remove it and cover the hole with film. Tape it down as you would a synthetic membrane. After this, another series of patients come in, but the operation immediately ends with an upset Maria.
Ending[]
Maria is furious that she was barely able to do anything, and slips and falls. Someone asks if she's okay, but she insists that she is. Left alone after all the action, Maria continues to curse her bad luck.
