Transplant is Episode Z-4 of Second Opinion.

Story[]

This chapter corresponds with chapter 4-8 of the main plot.

Nozomi is called in to perform a transplant on a GUILT victim. The professor also advises her to treat the GUILT-induced tumors in the same patient. Any risk of rejection is eliminated due to GUILT's own immunosuppressive effects. After the operation, Nozomi begins to question Delphi's motives. The Professor reiterates the mastermind's ideologies, and Nozomi hardly buys any of it. The discussion is cut short as the Delphi operative reminds her that this could constitute a breach of contract.

Conference[]

Briefing Dialogue
Dialog-nwd (1) Well, since we're waiting on that kidney......I might as well get started on the tumor. I can't transplant the kidney until that tumor is out of him, anyway. (The key to this transplant is going to be anastomosing the opened veins.) Once I administer the vasoconstrictor, his blood flow should slow down... I'll need to complete the anastomosis while it's still in effect, or he could bleed out. In short, there are two parts to this:
- Tumor extraction.
- Transplanting the new kidney.
A pretty tall order, considering we've got a real risk of blood loss here, so just make sure I've got that kidney when I need it. (Depending on how this goes, I may need to bring my Healing Touch into play...)
Dialog-nwd (2) ...I'm going to begin the procedure. Keep me posted on the new kidney.

Operation[]

Start by extracting the tumors. They are the exact some ones you worked on in Chapter Z-2. With the vital cap of 50, though, there is very little room for error, and you may need the Healing Touch to fix this up quickly.

The next step in the procedure is the kidney transplant. Inject the vasoconstrictor into the red abdominal aorta, make an incision, drain the blood, and attach and suture the red renal artery. Aim to get this done before the vasoconstrictor wears off; you can inject more to keep the vessel constricted. Do the same to attach the blue renal vein to the inferior vena cava. Attaching the yellow ureter to the bladder follows the same procedure but doesn't require any vasoconstrictor.

Special Bonuses[]

  • Tumors did not regenerate: 800
  • Finished before vasoconstrictor expired: 200
  • No mistakes: 700
  • Completed with [210/225/230] left: 300

Operation Rank[]

  • C:~4499
  • B:4500~4799
  • A:4800~5099
  • S:5100~5199
  • XS:5200~

Getting XS[]

The vasoconstrictor wearing off can waste time at best or cause the operation to go awry at worst, so link and suture the vessels as fast as you can.

Miscellaneous Dialogue[]

Failure
Dialog-n Abort the operation, Weaver! If you keep going, you're only going to make things worse. I've already called in our doctors...Let them handle it, okay?
