Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2

Part 2: Master Surgeon



Like games after UtK, this game adopts the chapter select screen. We can also choose the difficulty here, with each of them having separate ranks for the same operation. XS is only obtainable on the highest difficulty, by the way.

Unlike New Blood, some episodes have no operation (like the top screen says). I'm still going to put them in their own update because they're mostly important storywise.






The medical terrorist organization, Delphi, created a lethal disease they named "GUILT." They used this infections disease in an attempt to plummet the world into crisis. However, a specialized medical organization, Caduceus, was called into action. Created to challenge unknown or intractable diseases, Caduceus halted the terrorist scheme. And at the heart of their team stood a doctor who carried the fight against GUILT to the end... ...Derek Stiles.

And that's almost everything you need to know about the plot from UtK, really.



You two are the legendary duo who defeated GUILT? I never should have spoken to you so casually earlier...
"Legendary" is pushing it just a little... And we never could have eradicated GUILT without the help of our colleagues, either.

We'll meet those colleagues later, and they contribute as much in this game as the previous one. Which is pretty much nothing (except for Victor).

Adel, don't flatter Dr. Stiles too much. A doctor should never lose his cool, but he has a tendency to get swept up in the moment.
Y-you think so?
Anyway... What brings you two to this country... er... this camp?
We're on a mission to treat any obscure and intractable diseases that we find around the world... You've heard about the new infectious disease that's emerged here, right?
Yes, Costigar is constantly fighting against zoonoses... I hear this particular disease causes severe tissue scarring and is often fatal...

Zoonoses is apparently an actual word. Based on Wikipedia, it refers to infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites that spread between animals (usually vertebrates) and humans.

Our top priority here is to treat and report back on this mystery disease... But fortunately or unfortunately, we haven't encountered anyone who shows any symptoms of it.That's why we're participating in medical volunteer work here in Zakara.
I didn't think we'd be expected to take on an apprentice... But since we're woefully understaffed, we're lucky to have you.
I'm very honored... I'll do my best to keep up!

Female voice: "Is it true we've got a new doctor?"

...Ah, hello, Sylvia.



Ahhh, this must be him. Everyone's talking about you.
You sure are quick when it comes to gossip, Sylvia. But you're right, this is him. He'll be working with us from now on.
Um, well... Nice to meet you. My name is Adel Tulba.
I'm Sylvia Warenburg. Nice to meet you too. I work as a counselor here.
A counselor...?
The people here require treatment for mental conditions as well as physical ones. The unrest has mentally exhausted many of them... adults and children alike. Are you a native of this country? Can you speak Costigese?
Yes, I can...
Great, you'll be able to help us with interpreting then. Our interpreter is going on a vacation soon, so I was wondering what we'd do while he was gone...
...I don't know about that. There's a mountain of work to be done.



I hope you can help in your spare time, Dr. Tulba. I'll be happy to counsel you in return. Anyway, I'll see you guys later. *leaves*
...Is she from America too?
Yes. She likes to come to the clinic without any reason sometimes, but she's very helpful in general.
She can also be a little coercive, but don't mind her.
I see... This camp seems to be receiving aid from lots of different people.
But what's most important is for people like you to eventually be able to hold your own.
Yes, I agree. I hope I can quickly live up to those expectations.
