Through Glass Darkly: Episode Two - Plot & Excerpts
The surgical team were already in the operating theatre, though they were still engaged in visually examining their patient when I arrived, so with the aid of a theatre assistant who had been waiting for me I was able to quickly get cleaned up in time to join them before the surgery proper began. I don’t know what I’d been expecting from the surgery, but whatever I’d had in mind it certainly wasn’t a selection of efficient looking electrical saws that sounded more like construction yard tools than precision surgical equipment. It was also very noticeable that the creature’s numerous appendages were also securely fastened to a set of steel bars that ran around the gurney, and that there were two heavily armed police officers with large calibre firearms on either side of the door leading from the theatre, just in case something should go wrong. I was introduced to the two surgeons briefly by the theatre assistant, both of whom seemed strangely matter-of-fact about the work they were about to be doing, despite the fact they could obviously have never seen anything even remotely like it before in their professional careers.
