Part 52: Game Over

Costigar

1-1 Refugee Camp
Doctor, we can't continue like this!

1-3 Novice Mistake
Doctor, stop the procedure! We'll have to transport him to a hospital with better equipment!

1-4 Hidden Peril
Doctor!! We have to transport her to another facility! If we don't, Sylvia might--!

1-5 Civil War
Doctor, I know we didn't want this to happen, but let's call for a helicopter to transport him out!

1-6 Fever
Dr. Stiles, it's too dangerous! We need to halt the procedure and use antibiotics!



Not even the gifted surgeon of Caduceus could bear the harsh realities of this foreign land...

Caduceus

2-2 PGS
I can't watch this anymore! Discontinue the procedure, Derek!

2-3 To Live On
Dr. Stiles, stop...! I'll take it from here!

2-4 Ominous Clouds
Derek, I have Dr. Clarks standing by! Please let him take over!

2-5 Sinner
No, Dr. Stiles! Someone, call another doctor! Please!!

2-6 Rebirth
This isn't good, Derek! I'm gonna go find someone competent!

3-2 Prime Time
...Derek, step aside! Someone else needs to do this!

3-3 For the Future
(So that's all that Derek Stiles can do...) My company's medical team will take over from here!

3-5 Familiar Faces
...Derek, that's enough. I'm afraid I must intervene.

Aren't you supposed to be taking care of Kari?

3-6 GUILT Returns
Dr. Stiles... I'll take over from here.

4-1 Collapse
Derek, I'll perform the rest of the procedure...!

This isn't that different from what ended up actually happen.



His resignation letter, left on the Director's desk, said he would never hold a scalpel in his hand again... He was unable to withstand the pressure and burden of wielding the Healing Touch.



Unkown.

Hope Hospital

4-4 Hope Hospital
Derek... move! The patient will be in danger if I let this continue!
(I knew it... I really am a lost cause...)

4-5 A Rough Night
...This is too dangerous! I'm going to call in Dr. Kasal!

4-7 Blackwell
Father, no! Doctor, my father! He's--!

4-9 The Touch
No... This can't be...! Father!? Father!



After losing the Healing Touch and even the ability to perform a standard surgery, Derek couldn't go on as a doctor. No one knows what happened to him after that...

Back to Caduceus

5-1 The HOA
...Derek! Step aside!

5-2 Retaliation
This isn't working... Someone! Get a doctor from the Hands of Asclepius over here immediately!

5-4 Abduction
Doctor! It's too dangerous to continue! I'm calling for backup!

5-5 The Trace
Derek, stop! Step aside!

5-6 The Carrier
Dr. Stiles, I'll take over from here...!

6-1 A New Ally
Doctor, no! We need to postpone the procedure until we can get more supplies!

6-3 Widespread Fear
Doctor, we can't keep going like this! I'll go find someone else!

Doctor! No! We can't continue like this!

Derek, I'm afraid I must intervene.

7-3 Truth Unveiled
This isn't good, Derek! Stop the operation!

7-4 Dream's End
Derek, stop the procedure! I'm going to call in support from Caduceus!



It was only one mistake... But its consequences were more than he could bear. Possessing the Healing Touch made it all the more difficult to accept.

Heinrich's Manor

6-4 Backfire
We can't keep going like this! We need to get him to a hospital!
Tch... I guess we overestimated your abilities... You two have outlived your usefulness...

6-6 Improvising
Th-The alarm, Doctor!
We couldn't do it... What do you think they're going to do to us...



All leads were exhausted; no one even knew if they were alive or dead. The battle against Delphi's bioterrorism worsened day by day... And before long, Derek and Angie faded from memory.

Damn, that's bleak.

Mercer's Factory

7-5 Hall of Shadows
Doctor, we need to get these men to a hospital! Please discontinue the procedure!

7-6 The Altar
M-Mom!? No! Nooooo!!

7-7 Mother of Sins
This can't be... We came so far...

If you're playing this game, you're going to see this A LOT.



modern medicine was powerless against what was beyond human understanding. Derek Stiles was never found, and his illustrious reputation faded into obscurity. To this day, it is uncertain whether or not humanity was freed from the cursed legacy of GUILT.

X Operations

7-1 Kyriaki
7-2 Tetarti
7-3 Pempti
A foolish mortal, choosing to defy the providence of nature... Your struggles are futile, Doctor.

7-4 Nous
7-5 Bythos
7-6 Sige
Do you see how weak doctors are? You won't be needed in the world still to come...

7-7 Aletheia
The old world shall end soon... Now sleep, in the furthest reaches of darkness...



No Game Over dialogue narration this time. Good thing too, because you're going to see this EVEN MORE.
