(Jorge/S9) Only a heartbeat after Jorge utters his two words, the thin stream that trickled through the tubing becomes a flow. Thick, like molten lava, the deep red color of a smouldering stone, the blood seeps down the tube. The plan worked...almost too well, it appears. The flow of blood that enters the tube and into the still comes at an alarmingly rapid pace.

"Jorge, hold. Cosette, close." Slipping into Jorge's operating space, Cosette begins binding monofilament gauze to the site of the tube, staunching the excess flow from the wound and keeping the tube immobile. Thomas' eyes watch the monitor tensely, looking for signs of increased bleeding caused by unseen trauma. The seconds tick by, silent as death, as he adjusts the monitor.

"No excess damage...two tertiary veins are by the shard, but they're untouched. We're clear for now."

Nobody says anything, but the relief in the room spreads like a cloud. Simonelle speaks up.

"Director, I'm ready."

"Good. Kittycut, Jorge, listen to her," Thomas says.

Simonelle pulls her chair to Tirush's uninjured left side, away from the operating site, against the wall. She steps close to Tirush, standing next to Kittycut, but addressing them both, speaking quickly.

"Kittycut, on my mark, you will commit a DE flush into Tirush's body. You will need to pour it in as rapidly as possible, with as little loss as possible.  You need to do it right here." She points to a spot on Tirush's left clavicle, her finger in a specific spot.

"You must not waste any, if at all possible. If the DE flush is successful, her skin will soften enough and I will be able to bite her, down to her artery.  I will explain the mechanics of how it works later.  But, once I do..."

She turns to Jorge. "I will have opened a hole in her left subclavian, because a needle will not pierce it. Jorge, you will insert the hypo directly into her subclavian, and secure it with the monofilament gauze.  It will be bleeding profusely once I pull back, but the DE should  protect you.  Unfortunately, I don't know for how long."

She steps back. "Then, I will perform the same bite on her left brachal, and you will insert the second hypo there. We will need to perform this in less than ten seconds after the first bite, so I can insert my own hypos into my system and begin the transfer without air in the lines.  And you three..."

She looks to Maria, Ayesha and Rita. "There is a very good chance that the sudden DE flush will wake her up. You must not allow that, under any circumstances."

She takes a step back into place with a hint of a smile, her gallows humor showing through. "I do hope the others come with the Holstaur potions in time. Otherwise, this may become rather painful for me..."

She nods to Kittycut. "Take your position, and go, but don't hesitate. Tirush's life depends on this, and we can't delay a moment longer.  Do it."
