I have a bigger saw somewhere else. I was using it for one of the other surgeries I did earlier.
Well, that sounds nice and sterile.
Let me see if I can find it.” She stood, then stepped out of my field of vision. My bugs couldn’t feel her, but I could tell that she was carrying one of the steaming, smoking vials with her, as bugs died on the other side of the room, then the hallway, then a nearby room.
Ahh, yeah, makes sense. That would be a good reason for having more than one vial in the first place.
