Destroy the gland, and the immunosuppression will stop. The rejection reaction will begin within minutes."
"The gland's location." Guy stood, walked between Chisen and Neji, and crouched to look at the analyzer's screen.
The screen's blue light reflected on his face, making its contours look harder than usual.
"If the gland producing the immunosuppressive factor is to keep supplying it throughout the body, it has to connect to a major blood vessel near the heart.
The descending aorta or the superior vena cava is the most likely location." Chisen drew a human outline in the sand with his finger, then circled the chest. "If this vessel is humanoid, the gland is most likely inside its chest cavity, between the heart and left lung, protected by the sternum and ribs.
Destroying it will require a precision strike-not an area attack, but a strike on a single point.
The strike has to penetrate the sternum, with neither too much force nor too little. Too little, and it won't penetrate. Too much, and it'll shatter both the gland and the heart. Shattering the heart won't help the rejection reaction. What we need is to destroy only the gland, without damaging the heart or aorta."
"So we have to add a precision strike on top of the resonance attack. Once the resonance breaks down the chakra defenses covering the vessel's body, we'll have a window of a few seconds when its core weakness is exposed. In that window, we use a single pinpoint strike to penetrate the sternum,
and destroy the gland." Guy lightly struck the reef with his fist, scattering a small spray of stone chips. "Can we use a kunai for the precision strike?"
"Too wide." Chisen shook his head. "The gland is probably three to five centimeters in diameter. To destroy
