Three years after the GUILT outbreak, many cured GUILT hosts start to show symptoms, and these have some common characteristics, such as toxicosis on the attacked organ. This was named Post-GUILT Syndrome or PGS for short.
Over the course of Under the Knife 2, Caduceus USA and Acropolis Pharmaceuticals struggle to try and devise a consistent way of curing PGS. Acropolis develops a serum that can treat GUILT and PGS, though the serum only activates dormant GUILT.
It is unknown whether or not Neo-GUILT causes PGS.
Toxicosis[]
PGS covers the organ with toxicosis. When it is in full effect the organ will turn dark purple. Vitals will decrease, and any attempt to inject the stabilizer will result as a miss.
Victor will give you a sedative, and injecting enough into the organ will temporarily suppress toxicosis. The only way to fully cure the toxicosis is to cure the PGS.
Types of PGS[]
There are four identified types of PGS that have been attributed to a certain GUILT:
There are two types of PGS that have not been identified which GUILT caused it.
These are possibly missing Post-Deftera, Post-Tetarti and Post-Paraskevi as all the other GUILT have identified PGS. However, SO's Z-2 and UtK2's 2-2 are very similar, possibly the same.
Episode | Information | Organ | Possible causes |
---|---|---|---|
(SO) Z-2: Miracle | "Super-tumors" which are supported by the surrounding blood vessel. In this case, toxicosis isn't there. | Large intestine | Kyriaki, but this doesn't resemble Linda Reid's Post-Kyriaki |
(UtK2) 2-2: PGS | The same "super-tumors" as above, but with toxicosis. | Stomach | Kyriaki, but this doesn't resemble Linda Reid's Post-Kyriaki |
Deftera | |||
Triti, but this doesn't resemble Thomas Hughes' Post-Triti. | |||
Tetarti | |||
Paraskevi | |||
(UtK2) 5-1: The HOA | Extreme number of tumors located in the stomach (usually 7-13), accompanied with hemorrhaging and cardiac arrest. | Stomach | Kyriaki, but this doesn't resemble Linda Reid's Post-Kyriaki |
Deftera | |||
Triti, but this doesn't resemble Thomas Hughes' Post-Triti. | |||
Tetarti | |||
Paraskevi |
