He walked over and stood by the tray of tools. He had to try his hardest to not grimace as he looked upon the tray of implements. This really was a world away from what he was used too. He’d only ever read about tools like these, so he supposed it would interesting - if slightly gory - to see them in use.

Standing by the tray he rested his medical field kit on the ground by his feet, took his tricorder out of its holster and opened it up.

“I believe I’m ready when you are.”

Getting a nod in reply, both women got to work using precision sharpened metal scalpels to begin the work. Using a foot bump driven mechanism the second girl sucked away the blood and such as it spilled into a sterile container. So far life signs on the bull held steady overall. As time progressed bit by bit the pair got closer to the stomach and after pausing to clear the way clean, the older woman began a careful incision into the bull’s stomach. No sooner had the scalpel cut into it fully when Thomas’s scans showed the bull’s heart rate drop sharply and blood pressure also drop off!

Thomas’s eyes opened widely as this happened.

“Ladies, his heart rate and blood pressure have dropped sharply!” He said, trying his hardest not to sound alarmed.

In his head, Buckingham was already thinking of contingency plans in case this operation continued to progress this way.

Both woman looked up sharply in surprise. “..That shouldn’t be right?” The younger woman said.

Coming over the older woman looked at the readings, “..This isn’t right. Something is dropping the blood pressure, and heart response..” She said indicating on the tricorder screen.

”..Could it be that metal shard?” The younger woman inquired.

”..Its....its the only thing that could make sense!” the older woman said.

Hastily the two removed the inserts for the slightly started incision into the stomach lining. Once they did and used a nearby laser scalpel to seal it the bull’s heart and blood pressure slowly began to climb back up to near normal ranges. “..Well now what?” Both woman said to each other then looked to Thomas. Clearly the shard was obviously something more then just a shard of metal.

OOC: Bump!

Thoughts flooded Buckingham’s mind. He felt panicked to find a solution. He thought hard for a moment.
“My first thought is to use the Ark Angel’s Medical Transporter and lock onto the object and try to beam it out, then do any repair work that may be necessary.”
He waited to see how this suggestion was found by the ladies.
It left Buckingham stumped as to what about the shard could cause this type of reaction.
