Tendril
A post-surgery threat in Room 8 that triggers a timed emergency operation you must finish in time.
Overview
The Tendril is tied to Room 8 and appears after surgery, kicking off a timed emergency-surgery event rather than attacking you directly. It turns a routine operation into a race against the clock.
Because it is event-based, preparation beats reaction here. Knowing the surgery steps in advance is the difference between calmly clearing the event and fumbling the procedure as the timer runs down.
Your job is to carry out the correct procedure before the timer expires. Stay focused, follow the operation steps in order, and finish before time runs out.
