Wesker's Report (PS2) Taken from RE:CVX w/ extra DVD
"My name is Albert Wesker.
I aspired to become a leading researcher at Umbrella Inc. A pharmaceutical
enterprise who covertly conduction Bio Organic Weapons, better known as
B.O.W., for development. But at the leader development training ground situated
in Raccoon City, I met a brilliant and talented researcher who decided to
take a different path - William Birkin.
In time I shifted my position to S.T.A.R.S., a special forces unit of the
Raccoon Police Department. Umbrella, for crisis management reasons of their
illegal Bio Organic Weapons development had many of its people working in
the police department.
I became the leader of S.T.A.R.S. and conducted all sorts of intelligence
activities for Umbrella. As I continued to serve I devised my own plans
and waited for the right moment to execute them.
Then at last, opportunity knocked.
- July 24, 1998 -
The freak murder incidents that had occurred in the forest near the mansion
started it all. The mansion was Umbrella's secret B.O.W. laboratory and
it was clear that the in development T-Virus was the cause of the murder.
Initially, Umbrella instructed me secretively to keep S.T.A.R.S. out of
the case, but with the heightened emotions of the citizens S.T.A.R.S. had
no choice but to move in.
That was when my next order was given. Dispatch S.T.A.R.S. to the mansion,
dispose of them, then report the situation to headquarters so that their
combat with the B.O.W. could be used for data analysis allowing Umbrella
a comprehensive portrait of the B.O.W.'s combat abilities.
From the two S.T.A.R.S. teams I first pitched in the Bravo Team. As expected,
the top elite of S.T.A.R.S. gave all they had and became useful sample data.
Then following, I geared up the Alpha Team to "search and rescue"
the lost Bravo Team. The members of the Alpha Team also proved their worth
and as expected many died.
There were five Survivors from the initial eleven S.T.A.R.S. members. From
the Alpha Team were Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Barry Burton. And
from the Bravo Team were Rebecca Chambers and Enrico Marini.
It was time to begin executing my plans. In the midst of the whole affair
I could take Umbrella's ultimate Bio-Organic Weapon, the Tyrant, and join
forces with an opposing corporation of Umbrella. To buy into that opposing
corporation I would need the actual combat data of the Tyrant.
The surviving privileged members of S.T.A.R.S. were just the perfect bait.
I decided to have one of them play the Judas and draw them to the Tyrant.
That Judas was Barry.
Barry was the strong truth and justice kind and cherished his family more
than anything. His type is easy to manipulate. I just took that most important
thing away from him. My only miscalculation was the high potential of Chris
and Jill. But with the family man Barry playing Judas, the scheme went as
planned.
Then the winds turned unexpectedly.
I had to eliminate Enrico who found out what was behind it all. I used Barry
to get to him. After I successfully got rid of that nuisance I awaited the
sample specimen that Barry would bring to me in the Tyrants room.
I injected the virus I obtained from Birkin in advance. If I made Umbrella
believe I was dead, it made it far more convenient to sell myself to the
opposing corporation. According to Birkin the virus had profound effects.
It would put my body in a state of temporary "death." It would
then bring me back to life with super human powers. Therefore I unleashed
an awesome Tyrant from its slumber and let it attack me.
As my consciousness faded away I was certain that the whole scheme would
end in success.
Never did I imagine that S.T.A.R.S. could slay the evil creation. I lost
the Tyrant and the plan I devised which cost me my humanity ended in failure.
Now anything and anyone who stood in my way would be terminated. It's been
that way for a long time and it always will be. At all costs I had to make
S.T.A.R.S. pay.
- September -
Two months had passed since the mansion incident. To regain everything
I had lost in my new organization I joined hands with Ada Wong, a female
agent who was also sent to spy on Umbrella.
I knew in my bones that the key developer was William Birkin, but what he
didn't know was that Umbrella did not play games... with anyone. Eventually,
Birkin would be assassinated, and the G-Virus would be in the hands of Umbrella.
But the salvage team led by Hunk was ahead of us. By the time they got to
Birkin, he'd already injected himself with the G-Virus... he became his
own creation, and decimated them.
Soon after, the T-Virus carried by rats spread throughout Raccoon City,
and Umbrella faced its worst scenario.
- September 28th -
The good citizens became zombies, and the city had headed for its devastating
fate. Humans were no match against zombies.
In the chaos, Umbrella Europe applied a new type B.O.W., called "Nemesis".
The Nemesis would hunt down and destroy the surviving member of S.T.A.R.S.,
Jill. It became imperative that our organization would also obtain the Nemesis
data.
- September 29th -
To cover up the whole affair, Umbrella jettisoned a Tyrant to take care
of Leon and Claire, who were trying to unveil their secrets.
Then, a new revelation. Birkin used to hide the findings of his studies
in his daughter Sherry's pendant. It was very possible that the G-Virus
was there. While Umbrella was busy with their cover up, we had to capture
Sherry before they did. I sent Ada undercover to seek the location of Sherry.
I, the "dead man" on the other hand, had to work in the shadows.
A spy's obligation and priority is in the mission, to carry out the mission
like a machine without any emotional interference.
But through her interaction and involvement with Leon S. Kennedy, there'd
been an affection growing inside her.
My instincts sensed danger, something had to be done, quickly. My instincts
did not disappoint me. Even though Ada almost had her hands on the G-Virus,
which Leon had acquired from Sherry, that affection of hers drove her to
her death. But she was still of some use. I had to save her life. My people
hurried to retrieve the G-Virus that Leon threw away. But Hunk, the only
survivor of Umbrella's salvage team, was there before us.
- September 30th -
Our only option left was to bring back Birkin, the monster, as the sample specimen and have him finish off Leon and Claire in order to obtain his combat data. Although Birkin lost the battle to Leon and Claire, we succeeded in gathering samples of the G-Virus from his dead body.
- October 1st -
In the morning the government bombed Raccoon City in an attempt to stop
the viral outbreak. This was, of course, their feigned reason.
Later, Claire left for Europe to find her lost brother Chris, and Leon joined
forces with a underground anti-Umbrella organization.
Sherry is safe in our hands. I would never underestimate Birkin.
There's something about this little girl..."
Wesker's Report II
THE EXPERIMENT
July 31, 1978
The first time I visited that place, it was the summer of my 18th year.
That makes it about 20 years ago.
As I got off the helicopter, I remember the sight of the swirling wind that
the blades whipped into the air. When viewed from above the old mansion
seemed quite normal, but when seen from the ground there was something foreboding
and unapproachable about it. Birkin (my junior by 2 years) seemed, as usual,
to only be concerned with his research notes.
We were assigned to the mansion 2 days earlier, on the day that the executive
training center we had previously been attached to was closed. It all seemed
like it was planned and too much of a coincidence. But probably the only
person who knew the real truth was Spencer.
Spencer was one of the main guys in charge of America's "T-Virus"
research at the Arklay Research Facility.
As soon as we got off the helicopter the head of the facility was standing
in front of the elevator ready to greet us.
I can't even remember the guy's name. Who really cares about formalities
and figureheads like him? From that day on, the Arklay Research Center was
ours. As Chief Researchers, we were put completely in charge of all aspects
of the facility. Of course that is just how Spencer had planned it all out.
He chose us.
We ignored the facility head and got on the elevator. I had already memorized
the building layout the day before, and Birkin, although he has no bad intentions,
never really paid much attention to other people.
Most people probably get pretty irked within the first 5 seconds that they
meet us.
However, the facility head had no reaction at all.
Back then I was a young buck completely full of himself, so I didn't really
pay the facility head any mind.
But in the end, I was really only Spencer's puppet. And the facility head,
whose boss was also Spencer, at least actually knew what Spencer was up
to, and what he was thinking.
The whole time we were riding in the elevator, Birkin never took his eye
off of the documents he was holding.
The document that Birkin was scrutinizing so closely was a report about
a new virus that had shown up in Africa. It was called "Ebola".
At this moment there were many people, all throughout the world, who were
studying the Ebola Virus. However, there were two major reasons why they
were studying it. To help people and . . . to kill them.
As you probably know, the death rate of someone infected with Ebola is 90
percent. In 10 days it quickly destroys a person's organs. Even now, there
are no known ways to prevent it or cure it. It could, quite possibly, destroy
a large part of the human race.
Of course even before this, due to the "Biological Weapons Prohibition
Pact", it was illegal for us to study the virus as a weapon. However,
even if we weren't the ones to research it, there was no proof that someone
else wouldn't be doing that same thing and so it was considered acceptable
for us to research it--just in case. There is a thin line in international
law between what is acceptable and what is prohibited.
And so, it became necessary to research how the virus would be used as a
method of prevention, not as a weapon. There really is no difference in
the way in which you research a virus as a cure, however, from how you research
it as a weapon.
Since the two are very similar, it is possible to pretend you are researching
a cure, while in fact, be researching the virus as a weapon.
At that time, even though Birkin may have been looking at the Ebola report,
he wasn't really researching the Ebola virus. The Ebola Virus had too many
"weak spots".
First of all, the virus could only survive for a few days if not inside
a human body. It would soon "die" if under sunlight (ultra-violet
light) for too long.
Secondly, since it kills the host too quickly there isn't enough time to
transfer/infect other hosts.
Finally, the virus is only transferable through direct touch and so it can
be easily prevented.
Try to imagine the following: If a person who was heavily infected (the
disease had spread all throughout their body) could actually stand and walk
around? And, without knowing it, was in direct contact with other people,
of their own accord . . .
What if the RNA of the Ebola Virus could actually alter a person's genetic
code? And if, through that, a person was able to carry the virus without
dying? What if this person had the resilience of a beast?
That is, wouldn't this person be a "living dead" whose body carried
the virus? Something that could infect others, sort of like a "living
biological weapon".
I guessed that we were lucky that the Ebola Virus didn't have the potential
to do such things.
I wondered if we would be successful in holding on to such a virus without
it getting into the wrong person's hands?
The Arklay Lab headed up by Spencer was built for that purpose, it seemed.
To create a disease capable of the characteristics I listed above. Officially
it was just a pharmaceutical company researching cures to viruses, but the
truth is, it was really a factory for manufacturing biological weapons.
The origin of the company was based on the creation of the "Mother"
virus by recombining genes.
In order to produce "biological weapons" out of this new "Mother",
or ?Progenitor? virus, Spencer and his team of researchers began studying
"virus mutations" in order to strengthen the virus they had created.
This was known as the "T-Virus" experiment.
RNA based viruses can easily be mutated. Through those mutations, it is
possible to strengthen their traits.
The reason Birkin was so interested in the Ebola Virus was that he was thinking
of recombining the Ebola genes with the ?Progenitor? virus to strengthen
its attributes. By the time we had arrived at the research center there
was already a sample of the Ebola Virus waiting for us.
We changed elevators several times and finally reached the upper level of
the complex. When we arrived even Birkin looked up.
It was the first time we had met "her".
We hadn't heard a single word about "her" before. She was a secret
of the utmost confidentiality at the research center. And they didn't let
any information about her out of the compound.
According to the records, she was at the research center from the very moment
it was first built.
She was 25.
But we didn't know her name, nor why she was here.
She was to be used as the experimental subject host for the T-Virus. The
day they had begun experimentation was November 10th, 1967.
They did T-Virus experiments on her for 11 years running.
Birkin mumbled something.
Maybe they were words cursing our situation. Maybe they were words of praise.
In any case, we had come to the point of no return now.
We had two choices: to succeed in our research.... or to lay here rotting
like she was. Of course that meant we really only had one choice.
She was bound to a "pipe bed" and something about her made me
think....
Had this been a part of Spencer's plan all along?
(The report continues 3 years later)
ALEXIA - Part I
July 27, 1981
Today, a 10 year-old girl was sent here, as a chief researcher, from Umbrella's
Antarctica Research Facility.
Her name was Alexia Ashford.
I was 21 and Birkin was 19.
As annoying as it was, the whole Arklay complex was rampant with rumors
of "Antarctica Alexia". Nobody talked about anything else.
Her family had been with Umbrella since the beginning. The older guys at
Umbrella knew the legendary Ashford name.
Before, if we ever reached a dead end in our research, one of the old timers
would say "if only Professor Edward were still alive"...
If I remembered correctly, "Edward Ashford" was one of the people
who first discovered the "Mother Virus" and was one of the scientists
who originally planned the creation of the T-Virus.
However, he died soon after Umbrella was founded. It was 13 years since
his death. So was there really anything to gain by having high expectations
of the "Ashford" lineage?
And, in fact, the Antarctic Research Center founded by his son hadn't yielded
a single result.
Didn't people understand the limits of Alexia's smarts? She was only Edward's
grandchild after all.
But from the day she came, our worthless, good for nothing subordinates
began to say "It's a good thing Alexia is here".
She may have been from a famous family, carrying great genes within her,
but nonetheless, I knew it was going to be a real hassle having subordinates
with such a lack of good judgement.
It's idiots like that, who, if they accidentally stuck their foot in a bucket,
wouldn't be able to move or figure out what to do unless someone told them.
At least I could still tell the difference.
However, if, at that time, I had allowed myself to get upset over the whole
thing, it would have just slowed down our progress on the T-Virus research.
Unless you can keep cool and still be decisive no matter what the circumstances,
then success will always evade you.
At that time I was thinking this:
By making good use of the past, we could definitely yield good results.
And if some of those "old timers" could feasibly die at any second,
then they would make great test subjects.
After all, do you think it is possible to stand above the people if you
can't rationally use them as human ?resources" as well?
However, the problem was Birkin.
The way he reacted to the Alexia rumors was terrible.
He never really said it, but for Birkin, the fact that he was the youngest
person to ever be a chief researcher was always something he was proud of.
That pride was severely injured by having a mere 10 year-old become a chief
researcher. It was probably the first time someone so talented as he had
ever tasted defeat.
He just couldn't accept this "younger girl of good lineage".
To be made a fool by someone who hadn't gotten any results. Someone who
had worked so far removed from the lab before.
The fact that he couldn't get over it showed his immaturity.
However, even though he was still immature, no matter what, I had to bring
him back to his senses.
It was during these three years that our research moved up to the 2nd level.
It was at this point that we fixed upon the idea of making a "living
biological weapon". We started to call the "T-Virus" by a
new name -- "Zombie".
However, it was impossible to get a 100% infection ratio. Within people
there is a subtle difference that the virus couldn't totally overtake. It
seems compatibility was a major factor, then.
About 10 percent of the people who were injected with the "Zombie Virus"
didn't get infected. And this was something that, no matter how hard we
researched, we just couldn't overcome.
A disease that would affect 90 percent of all humans seemed to me to be
quite an effective weapon, though. But Spencer didn't see it that way. Spencer
said that he was hoping for a specialty virus that could easily wipe out
everyone.
But, why in the world would he want something like that?
One important characteristic of biological weapons was that they could be
developed cheaply. However, the "biological weapon" that we were
researching started to become very costly.
If Spencer was in it just for the money, then he probably wouldn't have
chosen to spend the extra money on researching a specialty virus that infected
and wiped out 100% of its victims. It just wasn't financially worth it.
Why would he want to ignore all financial concerns just to continue the
research?
If by changing the idea of war (through biological warfare) he was attempting
to monopolize all military industries, then I would have understood that,
but...
Even to this day, I have no idea what his true intentions were.
But whatever Spencer's real reason, Birkin was planning on making a biological
weapon that would increase a country's military might.
Not to just manipulate the genes of the "T-Virus", but also by
adding other genetic data he was planning on creating "him". A
military biological weapon that could annihilate those who went unaffected
by the virus, as well as people who were wearing anti-viral gear and equipment.
This weapon was later named "Hunter".
However, that experiment was temporarily put on hold. In order to protect
the test subjects from Birkin.
Birkin's pace was quickened by Alexia's existence. He began to act "out
of the ordinary". He would stay at the lab for 24 hours straight. Attempt
experiments that he hadn't really thought out.
I tried to use other researchers to get as many samples from the subjects
before they died, but I just couldn't keep up with his pace.
The head facilitator brought in a new subject, as if nothing had ever happened.
But she, too, soon died.
It was hell.
And within that hell there was but one person living -- the female test
subject that continued to live on. She was already 28 years old. Having
lived 14 of her years in this research facility. Someone whose consciousness
had been taken away by the "Progenitor? virus that had been injected
into her 14 years ago. Someone who, if they did happen to still retain any
humanity, would only hope for death.
But she continued to survive.
Why was only she able to survive this long? Her basic experiment data and
that of other subjects seemed to be the same.
It would still take a long time for us to solve this riddle.
(The report continues 2 years later)
ALEXIA - Part II
December 31st, 1983
The winter of my sixth year at the Arklay Research Center.
For the past 2 years, there were no significant results and time seemed
to just stagnate, but before long we had a breakthrough.
The thing that started it all was a report we got that morning.
Antarctica Alexia had died.
The cause of her death was that she accidentally got infected by a virus
that she, herself, was researching. It was called the "T-Veronica Virus".
Alexia was 12 years old. It seems she was just a little too young to be
undertaking such dangerous experiments.
There were many rumors to be heard. One particular rumor actually suggested
that she injected the "T-Veronica" into her own body. But no matter
what the circumstances I find that particular "theory" to be implausible.
Probably she was just so shaken up over her father's disappearance a few
months earlier that she just made a mistake in the experiment.
After that, Alexia's last remaining blood relative, her twin brother who
had worked in the Antarctica Research Center came and picked up her work
where she left off. But no one had any expectations of him.
In the end, the Ashford family was basically dead . . . without even yielding
a single advance for the experiment.
It was just as I thought. A legend is, after all, merely that . . . a legend.
After the news of Alexia's death, Birkin changed. Or I guess I should say,
he returned back to his normal self.
But I guess the biggest thing was that all of his subordinates now had no
choice but to think of him as the main researcher. Since, now, there was
no one who could surpass his talents.
However, it also became taboo for anyone to talk about Alexia in front of
him.
He fiercely opposed me when I planned on getting a sample of the T-Veronica
Virus.
I had no choice but to put finding the truth about Alexia's research on
the back burner.
In the end, even though the situation was at its best, Birkin himself failed
to grow up and advance his research.
However, at that time I was concerned more about a different question at
hand.
The Arklay research center was surrounded by a dense forest.
I often hiked through the forest, but since the center was located in a
mountainous region there was never anyone to be found nearby.
The only method of transportation was by helicopter. And the center wasn't
exactly the type of place that people came to visit.
One important reason for the fact that the center was located in such an
isolated location was to prevent the virus from getting out in the instance
of a "leak".
However, biological weapons aren't that simple. Viruses don't only infect
humans. They can infect other things as well. Any virus is usually capable
of infecting more than one host.
For example, the number of species that the ordinary "influenza virus"
(the common flu) is recognized as infecting are birds, pigs, horses, seals,
and humans. The difficult part is that not all types of animals/people within
a species are affected. Even though, within the bird species, ducks and
chickens are affected, all other birds are not.
And, if a virus mutates, then the kinds and number of hosts it affects changes.
So it is impossible to create a virus that is capable of affecting everything.
And that was the main problem--trying to adapt the T-Virus so that it would
affect everything that it came into contact with.
During the time Birkin had become "useless", I had started investigating
the T-Virus's infection rate.
It was then that I found out the T-Virus could infect almost any kind of
living thing. Not just animals, but plants, insects, fish -- almost any
species. The virus had the power to expand and disperse all over the earth.
Whenever I would leave the center for a walk in the woods I would always
think to myself...
Why did Spencer choose this place?
Because there were lots of different types of species concentrated in the
woods. If the virus ever did get out here, then what would happen to a place
where there were this many types of living things present?
In the case of insects, they are small so you might not think of them as
dangerous even if they are secondary carriers of the virus. However, insects
usually exist in swarms, and that huge number makes them a very dangerous
carrier, indeed.
If they were carriers then how far would the virus spread?
If a plant was a carrier, since they can't move, you wouldn't expect them
to be able to infect many people. However, what about the pollen that comes
from plants?
Considering those factors, the center was an extremely dangerous place to
run "virus research".
And if you really think about it, the location of the Ashford's Antarctica
Research Center was really a much safer and obvious choice.
It would almost seem as if this place was specifically chosen, as a location,
for the purpose of "spreading" the virus. But, I just can't imagine
that would really be so.
What is Spencer trying to get us to do?
This was a major issue. So big that I couldn't tell the other researchers.
At this time the only person that I felt I could have talked with about
this was Birkin, but it was evident that telling him would be meaningless.
I needed more information.
It was at that time that I first began to feel the limitations of my position
as researcher.
I needed to get myself a position that had more access to information that
would reveal Spencer's true objective. I felt no love lost for throwing
away my position as a researcher in order to find out.
But I couldn't rush things. Because if Spencer ever got wind to what I was
doing then it would be all over.
I jumped back into my research and it was "business as usual"
so as not to call attention to my plans.
During those times, the female test subject that continued to survive was
left in some corner and forgotten.
A living could-have-been. We began to call her that sometime after she stopped
yielding useful data for us.
At least, until 5 years later that is . . .
NEMESIS
July 1st, 1988
The summer of our 11th year at Arklay was just starting.
I was already 28. Birkin had become a father and already had a 2 year-old
daughter. His wife was one of the researchers that worked at Arklay.
You would normally think it hard to understand someone wanting to get married
and raise a child, all the while doing their research.
But, it is said that only "non-ordinary" people ever continued
to do research at Arklay. Only the crazy ones ever succeeded there.
And so, after 10 long years, our research finally reached the 3rd stage.
To create a living biological weapon that was a soldier that would follow
strict orders, obey its program, and have intelligence.
It was the so-called "Tyrant", basically a monster that we set
out to create.
However, there was a major obstruction to our research back then. Finding
a suitable host body for "Tyrant".
The biggest problem was that suitable bodies for Tyrant were, at that time,
genetically very limited.
The source of the problem lay in the nature of the T-Virus.
The T-Virus mutation used to create "zombies" and "hunters"
could be used on just about any human but it would also cause a decline
in the subject?s brain capacity.
If the subject didn't have a certain amount of intelligence, then it couldn't
function as a Tyrant.
Birkin tried solving the problem by picking out new mutagens that would
keep down the wear and tear on the subject?s brain so long as the subject
fit the "Tyrant? profile.
However, the number of people that had suitable genetics to accept the tyrant
cells were very limited. In a genetic analysis simulation it was found that
only 1 in a million had the genetic make-up to become a "Tyrant."
Any other person would merely become a regular zombie.
If we would have continued with our research then I'm sure we would have
found a way to make a different type of T-virus that could change more people
into "Tyrants".
However, in order to do that research, we first needed people that were
perfectly suitable for the new mutation.
However, the odds of us being able to bring one of those few people, living
in America, that fit the profile was extremely low.
In the end, the only thing they were able to do was to, by force, bring
a few "close contenders" in from other labs
Even before we had the chance to start our research, it seemed we had already
hit an obstacle.
At that time I heard a rumor about another location in Europe where they
had already reached the "third level" of producing a living biological
weapon using a method that no one had thought of.
It was known as the "Nemesis Project".
In order to change the stagnant working pace and conditions, I took it upon
myself to get a sample of one of the subjects from that project.
Of course Birkin first disagreed with me, but in the end I was able to get
him to reconsider.
Everyone had no choice but to recognize the fact that, until we found a
suitable "Tyrant" subject, our research wasn't going anywhere.
The package from Europe came at midnight, several days later, after a series
of broadcasts, proposals, and counterproposals.
The box that contained "it" landed on the helicopter pad.
It read "Nemesis Prototype".
I had to use some very strong tactics to get the "thing" from
where it was being researched in France, but all the while, Spencer was
backing me up, pulling all of his strings and using his influence.
Only Birkin showed no interest in "it" until the end. But he,
at least, recognized it as an important part of the experiment.
The sample was developed to create a never before seen, totally new life-form.
By manipulating genes, they had artificially created a "living parasite".
That was what "Nemesis" really was.
It could latch onto another organism's brain and then take control of the
host's brain bringing it a high-level of destructive power.
By combining intelligence with a destructive body suitable for battle, they
were able to form the ultimate biological weapon.
And if they could complete the project then they would be capable of creating
"warlike bodies" without having to worry about the intelligence
issue.
However, the problem was that the parasite was not stable.
The only thing written within the document that was attached to the sample
was "Failure--sample died" over and over again.
Anything that had been affected and whose intelligence was being controlled
would die within 5 minutes.
We all understood that messing around with the prototype was very dangerous.
If we could only somehow manage to extend the amount of time that the hosts
would live then we could take control over the project. That was what I
was aiming for.
Of course we would use "her" as our test subject. Surely her unusually
high endurance would be perfect for sustaining the Nemesis prototype parasite
for a long time. Even if she didn't last that long, it's not as if we would
have lost anything special anyway.
However, the experiment yielded a result that was opposite from what I was
predicting.
The Nemesis parasite that tried to enter her brain disappeared.
At first, I didn't even know what was going on. I couldn't believe that
"she" would be the one to mix with the parasite genes without
dying.
That was the beginning.
Somewhere within that "undying" body of hers, there had been a
change . . . We had to re-examine her from head to toe one more time. During
our 10 years of research she had already been totally and thoroughly examined
but this time we ignored that previous data.
After the 21 years that she had been here, something was finally happening
for the first time. After she had already survived longer than other subjects
who had received the Nemesis virus, it was only Birkin that started to realize
what was happening.
There was something within "her".
That ?something? was a deviation from the T-Virus plan.
Something new that gave way to a new form.
Something that changed our destiny.
It was the beginning of the "G-Virus plan".
(The report continues 7 years later)
G-VIRUS
July 31st, 1995
It had been 17 years since I first came here.
When I arrived this time, I remembered the wind. The scenery and buildings
from the surrounding area hadn't changed a bit.
I saw Birkin standing on the helipad. He arrived before I did. Meeting with
him somehow seemed nostalgic.
It had been 4 years since I had left the Arklay Research Center.
4 years ago, when Birkin's proposed "G-Virus" plan was approved,
I put in a transfer request for the "special investigations" division
within the company, and my request was immediately approved.
The fact that I had given up on being a researcher and needed a change probably
seemed like a natural change that most people go through.
Actually, the truth of the matter was that "G" had already reached
a level that was beyond my ability.
And even if I wasn't really here to discover Spencer's "true intentions",
I think that, at that time, I would have definitely realized the limitations
of my ability.
As the wind danced around the helicopter, Birkin was, as usual, fixated
on some document.
Apparently, he was coming to Arklay on a routine basis, but he was no longer
assigned here.
A while ago, he had been transferred to a huge underground research facility
in Raccoon City. That was the main facility for his "G-Virus"
research.
But to tell the truth, 4 years ago I really didn't think that Spencer would
approve of "G". Because, it deviated from the idea of a "weapon"
and it was created with too many unknowns left unsolved.
The big difference between "G" and the "T-Virus" was
that a body infected with "G" would spontaneously continue to
mutate. Of course a virus's genes are unprotected so it quickly mutates.
But the cells within a living organism are different. Even if the subject?s
genetic make-up had been altered by the virus, the cells within the organism's
body rarely can be mutated.
Of course, by using external stimuli, such as radiation, you can make mutations
occur within a living body.
However, a body that is infected with "G" continues to mutate,
without any outer stimuli, until the host dies.
Even the "T-virus" has lots of attributes that are quite similar
to "G".
It has already been observed that the genetic make-up of one of the "living
biological weapons" (a person infected with the T-Virus), who has been
placed in a special setting, has continuously "changed".
But in order for this change to occur it is necessary to use outer stimuli
as a catalyst. And one can mildly predict which changes are likely to occur.
However, there are no such "laws" concerning a body infected with
"G".
No one can predict just how someone infected with "G" will change.
No matter what kind of method you use to try to cope with "G",
it continually changes, making that "method" ineffective.
7 years ago Birkin noticed a little bit of this effect in the female test
subject.
There wasn't the slightest change in her appearance, but deep within her
something was constantly changing and she continued to co-exist with the
virus used in the experiments.
And so after 21 years of inner mutations, even the "Nemesis parasite"
just became one more mutation within her body.
The "G-Virus Plan" was a plan to push those characteristics to
the utmost limit.
However, the thing that lay ahead could be an evolution to the "final
form" for mankind... or it could be a finale in which the organism
merely dies...
Could we really call that a weapon?
What was Spencer thinking when he approved this plan?
Even though I had been working within the intelligence sector for these
4 long years, I had still been unable to figure out what Spencer was planning.
And now Spencer has stopped coming to Arklay. Almost as if something that
he has been eagerly awaiting and expecting had been set in motion. Spencer,
like some mirage floating in the desert, had begun to grow farther and farther
away from me. But I was sure that a chance would present itself to me eventually.
That was, of course, if I lived long enough to see that day.
Birkin and I got on the elevator and rode to the top floor. To the place
where we had first met "her".
A man named John, Birkin's successor and new chief researcher, was waiting
there for us.
He came from a research center in Chicago and was supposedly a very talented
scientist but he was a little too straight-laced to be working at a place
like this.
He began to question the inhumanity of what was going on in the labs and
made his opinions known to the upper-level executives.
I had heard rumors about him in intelligence circles.
Everyone seemed to agree that if any information ever leaked out, he would
probably be the culprit.
We ignored John and kept on walking, and then began the final disposal procedures
on her.
"You must kill her". Those were the orders, as simple as that.
Due to her being infected with "Nemesis", although only a minor
amount, she started to "think" and become conscious.
She started to act in grotesque ways.
Her behavior had continued to escalate and now she wore the face of another
woman that she had peeled off just like a mask.
According to reports, she had behaved exactly the same way when initially
injected with the "Progenitor virus" all those years ago.
I don't know why she began to act in such a way, but because she recently
killed 3 researchers, the Higher Ups had decided to dispose of her.
With the "G" research on the right track, there was no real use
for a test subject like her anymore.
After constantly checking and re-confirming for 3 days the fact that she
was indeed dead, her corpse was, as per the Facility Head's order, taken
away somewhere.
In the end, I never did find out who she was and why she was brought here.
Of course, she was merely a test subject.
But still though, if she hadn't been here then there wouldn't have been
any "G Plan". And Birkin and I would probably be leading different
lives now.
I left the Arklay Research Center thinking that very thing.
I wondered how much of this was according to Spencer's "plan".
