Sige
From Caduceus Database
Sige (Greek for "silence", pronounced "Seeg-eh" rather than "Siege") is a Neo-GUILT created by Patrick Mercer. Known as "the Great Silence" or "the Dense Fog of Silence", it was designed to increase the speed and accuracy of a person's thought processes, allowing them to be taught and master entirely new techniques within a short space of time. Adel Tulba was deliberately implanted with this form of GUILT when he expressed his wish to learn the Healing Touch, which he achieved through the help of Sige.

[edit] Treatment
Upon becoming hostile, Sige immediately begins producing a volatile gas within its host. Although harmless to inhale, it can create internal bleeding and inflammations if left untreated. This gas drops vitals by about 1 vital per two seconds (2 vitals every second on the X mission battle). Any treatment of this Neo-GUILT requires a method of dealing with this gas.
[edit] Pre-GUILT
The first thing that will be seen is the damage caused by Sige prior to the operation beginning: pus clouds, lacerations and inflammations are not uncommon. These must be treated before the Neo-GUILT reveals itself.
[edit] GUILT
After creating some initial lacerations, Sige will remain within the host organ and create its gas, causing pressure to build-up. If these pressures are not released (by cutting the surface with the scalpel, then the organ will burst and cause a great deal of damage to the patient's vitals. Sige itself must be extracted with the scalpel after being made visible by the ultrasound.
Upon being cut-out, all the gas produced by Sige immediately escapes and blinds anyone in the immediate area for a short time, whilst Sige itself continues to move around, more rapidly than before, producing pus on the surface of the organ (which can be drained away. The gas is removed by blowing into the microphone on the Nintendo DS. The player must then be careful to immediately patch the recently-created exit wound; if they do not, then more gas will escape and cause further problems.
The only way to cause damage to Sige is by cutting it with the scalpel; however, it will be traveling faster than the player can usually cut with accuracy. Although such a cut is possible, it is wiser to use then antibiotic gel to immobilise Sige temporarily and give the player a better chance at making the successful cut. Sige will immediately return inside the organ as soon as it is damaged. If it is damaged five or six times (depending on the operation), it will be defeated.
If threatened, Sige also possesses the ability to create copies of itself, similar to Onyx, upon being removed from the organ, in an attempt to confuse the player. The number of clones can be anywhere between two and five. This mutation is both defensive and offensive; as well as potentially distracting the player, it increases the speed with which Sige decreases vitals when on the surface of the organ. Also, if an attempted cut impacts with a clone instead of the original Sige, it causes vital damage and allows Sige to retreat, making it necessary to extract it again. Clones can told apart from the original Sige by their darker colour scheme.
[edit] General Tips
Sige is at his most dangerous when he is under the surface of the organ, creating gas and pressurising the organ. It is recommended you locate and extract it before doing anything else, even raising vitals.
Although gas may obscure the playing area, it is still possible to operate on your patient. Specifically, spreading gel about will stop Sige and its clones from moving, reducing the vital damage you take from their general movement.
Since only a number of pus clouds and inflammations can exist at any one time, leave them unless they get in the way of your attacks on Sige. Remember that attacks and sutures through pus clouds will not count as successful.
