Trauma Center: Under the Knife/GUILT

GUILT is a form of medical terrorism in Trauma Center: Under the Knife. It uses parasites and diseases to turn the human body against itself and finally kill the host. The government is stopping people except those who have the disease and those who research and attempt to treat it from knowing about it. It is made by the medical terrorism group Delphi, named after the greek oracle. Each of the seven GUILT is named after a greek day of the week.

Kyriaki
Adam's message

"Man created swords to kill, and was in turn killed by swords"

Kyriaki is a parasite shaped like a manta ray with a bladed tip. It infects and reproduces in organs, then finally turns against it's host and kills it. It creates numerous lacerations on organs resulting in a painful death

Treatment
Kyriaki is a parasite that needs to be burnt away with the laser. To find and remove it, you must first use the ultrasound on the affected organ. A black shadow should appear, use the scalpel to cut out the kyriaki. Then, proceed to burn it with the laser. Depending on the strain of kyriaki, it will take anywhere from two to four times to burn it away. Once all or most of the kyriaki are burnt away, the main kyriaki parasite will appear and create three large cuts in the shape of an asteric *. This parasite will burrow back into the organ each time you laser it making it much tougher than the others to remove.

While fighting the Kyriaki there are two things to keep in mind. The first is that whenever a kyriaki creates a cut, the patient's vital would drop by about 10 (Except in the case of the three cuts made by the mature kyriaki). The second is that whenever there are 10 cuts, the kyriaki would not make any more cuts on their own. Therefore, when fighting the Kyriaki (especially in the X1 mission), make sure the total number of cuts on the screen is always 10. This means that you shall not stitch up any more cut when there are 10 cuts, since stitching cuts would provoke the attack of the kyriaki, resulting in a drop in patient's vital.
