torchwood100Summary: Owen has to think outside the box before his autopsy knocks out the whole team. A double drabble.
'Balls,' Owen muttered as his alien autopsy went from bad to worse. This was why he sometimes hated the job. Mysterious alien anatomy brought about all kinds of surprises, and not knowing precisely where to make his incisions was an act fraught with mixed consequences.
Bile began to spew from the small and inadvertent knick to some kind of digestive organ which was placed altogether too close to the heart which he'd been keen on examining. What ejected from the digestive tract was so foul that he gagged and nearly passed out.
'Owen, what in God's name is that stink?' Suzie cried, quickly leaning over the medical bay railing to see, though holding her nose.
'Could be stomach juice, lower intestine juice, or other. Scalpel went through something it shouldn't have.' Some of it pooled on the table before spilling over and onto his shoe.
'So do something! Before we all pass out.'
Owen looked around but he only had autopsy implements. The smell was definitely beginning to make his vision blur. Faced with a lack of options, he shoved his gloved finger inside, plugging the hole to stop the leaking fluids.
'Well, that's great,' Suzie said, 'but now what?'
