The First Step(SO) / Taking a First Step(UtK) is Episode 4-6 of Trauma Center: Under the Knife and Second Opinion.

Story[]

Victor and Derek discuss with Anderson over his condition. As Anderson's the first victim of this strain of GUILT, he allows the staff to use his body for any experiments while determining treatment. After trying various things to no avail, Victor gets Derek to collect a sample of the GUILT core for analysis.

Conference[]

Briefing - UtK
There's a new GUILT called Pempti inside the Secretary's stomach. I've done enough tests to know how bad this bastard can be...but I have no idea how to treat it. Honestly? I think it's hopeless. But hey, every disease has to have a cure, right? So it's up to you to find one. That's how medicine advances. But, you know that. That's why you joined Caduceus. Anderson said 'worst case', at least his illness can be used to advance our understanding of GUILT. I assumed he was just some crusty old bureaucrat... But, when you think about that, I guess he's not so bad. So, we kind of owe it to the guy to make this work out. I'd say you have one main objective:
- Do everything I tell you to.
...What kind of objective is that!?
There's no known treatment yet. Would YOU like to think one up? I'm the one with all the research, so just listen to me.
(...We'll see about that...)
What's wrong?
...Nothing. Let's just do our job.
That's a good attitude. I hope you can handle this.
Okay... Let's begin the operation!
Briefing - SO

Anderson said 'worst case', at least his illness can be used to advance our understanding of GUILT. I assumed he was just some crusty old bureaucrat... But, when you think about that, I guess he really understands what we're about. So, we kind of owe it to the guy to make this work out. I'd say you have one main objective:

Okay... Let's begin the operation!

Operation[]

As the briefing indicates, follow every one of Victor's instructions to complete the operation. The tricky part is injecting the core before it disappears. In Under the Knife, the core moves around as well, so you'd want to hit it in the middle of its movement path.

Getting XS in SO[]

Do not inject any stabilizer into the Pempti fluid, as it will count as a mistake. After administering the yellow medication, let the Pempti go berserk for a bit and lower the vitals to below 70 before neutralizing with the white medication. Victor will then issue an additional instruction to restore vitals, which will then check off the required bonus criteria.
