REUC – MONITOR NOTES
Umbrella creates their own in-house paramilitary force; a
specialised unit designed to control disasters caused by
Umbrella’s own weapons.
“The Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, or U.B.C.S., is a
private military group operated by Umbrella. They exist primarily to
control disasters caused by Umbrella’s own products and are always
first on the scene of any accident.
Because of the dangerous nature of this work, many of the members
are war criminals, refugees or others recruited with the promise of
being pardoned from death sentences or life imprisonment. These
soldiers often come from the armies of communist countries and
possess a solid military background.”
- Transcript of U.B.C.S. Notes
As the company continues to expand its bio-weapons
programme, Sergei Vladimir does not underestimate the
possibility of rogue employees, informers and possible
defectors within Umbrella’s ranks. Due to the sensitive
and not to mention secret nature of their work, he sets
up an internal investigation department within the
corporation to monitor its own employees.
It can also be presumed that it is around this time
Sergei meets fellow Russian Nicholai Ginovaef and the two
begin to form a strong friendship.
“An internal espionage group organisation within Umbrella set up to
monitor suspicious activities among its employees. They are usually
placed throughout the organisation and maintain the image of normal
employees to help them conduct their activities. There were several
placed among the U.B.C.S., one of whom was Nicholai Ginovaef.
Their orders range from spying on fellow employees and destroying
evidence to clean up operations including assassinations as required.
The rewards for successful operations far outweigh the risks and
monitors feel no remorse for selling out of killing their supposed
comrades. Sergei Vladimir is the one pulling the strings behind the
group.”

Future S.T.A.R.S. and B.S.A.A. member Chris Redfield
joins the US Air Force where he learns how to pilot.
“Chris Redfield began his military career in the United States Air Force.
Possessing a service record replete with both commendations and
disciplinary actions, commanding officers have described Chris as:
‘uncompromising’, ‘possessing unwavering dedication’, and ‘having a
high level of adaptability.’
It was these traits that saw Chris earn his wings, but also these same
traits that brought him into direct conflict with superiors.”

RE5 – SHEVA ALOMAR FILE
Sheva Alomar is given her first gun by the Guerrillas in
Africa.
“After only a few years with the guerrillas, she was given her first gun.
She doesn’t like to talk about her time with the guerrillas. Perhaps the
memories are too painful, or maybe she’s too shamed of what she did
there.
One of her main duties with the guerrillas was to go into town and
purchase supplies for the group.”

WESKER’S REPORT 2
RE5 – PROJECT W NOTES
Wesker and Birkin reunite at the Spencer Estate for the
first time in four years. The termination of Lisa Trevor
is ordered after she kills several researchers. Progress
on the G-Virus has moved onto the next stage and she is
no longer needed as a valuable specimen.
Wesker is still no closer in his goal of discovering
Ozwell E. Spencer’s true intentions and therefore, his
place in ‘Project W’ is coming along nicely.
“Summer had arrived again, and 17 years had passed since my first
trip to Arklay Mansion. Whenever I arrived, I always remembered the
smell of the winds on that first day. None of the buildings had
changed since then. I could see that Birkin had already arrived and
was standing on the heliport. I hadn’t seen him since I had left Arklay
Laboratory four years before.
In spite of the winds caused by the helicopter, Birkin never took his
eyes off his research papers. Although he visited Arklay repeatedly, he
was no longer a researcher there. Sometime before he had transferred
to a huge underground laboratory in Raccoon City, which was the
base for the G-Virus project under his direction. To be honest, I never
would have thought Spencer would approve the G-Virus project,
because it was founded on an estimated guess and deviated from his
original conception of a biological weapon.
The main difference between the G-Virus and the T-Virus was that any
organism infected by the G-Virus continued to mutate on its own.
Because a virus is an unprotected form of a gene, it can mutate
easily. The mutation can happen when a virus is left on its own, but
once a virus is in another organism, something different occurs. A
gene in an organism’s body hardly mutates even though a virus
modifies its structure, unless there are external influences like radiation
exposure. However, an organism infected with the G-Virus kept
mutating itself without any external influence until it died.
Similar characteristics existed in the T-Virus. When we placed the BioOrganic Weapon under certain circumstances, we recorded some
genetic recombination caused by an activated virus in the body.
However, in the case of the T-Virus, it always needed some external
influence to trigger the recombination, and the results were always
close to what we predicted.
Organisms infected with the G-Virus totally lacked such predictability.
No one could foresee what sort of recombination would take place,
and nothing could stop the mutation, making our manipulation
worthless. Seven years before, Birkin found signs of this effect in the
female specimen. On the surface, she had not changed at all. But
internally, she changed continuously and remained alive by merging
and coexisting with all the experimental viruses she had been
administered. And 21 years of internal mutation had evolved here
enough to accept the parasitic organism Nemesis.
The G-Virus project was trying to push this abnormality to the limit.
But the result of this project could mean either the evolution of the
ultimate organism or total destruction.
Could we call this a weapon? What made Spencer approve this
project?
Even though I had been in the Information Bureau for four years by
this time, I still could not understand his motives. And by now,
Spencer did not even come to Arklay anymore. It was as if he foresaw
that something was about to happen there.
The memory of Spencer’s face was fading from my mind like a mirage
in the desert. Still, an opportunity would present itself sometime…if I
could survive until then…
The lift carried Birkin and myself to the highest security level, to the
place where we saw her for the first time. The new chief researcher
and Birkin’s successor, John, was waiting for us there. He had been
transferred from the Chicago Laboratory and was known as an
excellent scientist. But he seemed to be too normal to work for this
laboratory. He doubted the cruel methods of the research and
requested that his superiors correct the situation. This caused a big
stir, even in the Information Bureau. It was everyone’s opinion that if
information was being leaked, this man was the source.
We ignored John and started to give her the final treatment, to kill
her. She had regained a little intelligence after absorbing the Nemesis,
but this just made her behave strangely. This odd behaviour continued
to escalate. By this point, she had taken to peeling off other women’s
faces and wearing them over her own. The records indicated she had
behaved in a similar manner when first administered the Progenitor
Virus. We never knew what made her act in such a fashion, but her
termination was ordered after these researchers died. Now that the
study of the G-Virus was well under way, she had lost her status as a
valuable specimen.
The termination of her vital signs was checked and confirmed
repeatedly for the next three days. Then her body was transferred to
some unknown location under the instructions of the laboratory
manager.
Even now, I still don’t know who she was and why she was brought
here. But the circumstances were exactly the same with the other
specimens. However, if she had not been kept there for so long, the
G-Project might never have existed, and Birkin and I would be in very
different situations.
As I left the Arklay Laboratory, I was mulling things over. Just how
calculating was Spencer?”
- Extracted from the Report of Albert Wesker; 31/07/95
REMAKE – OBSERVATION NOTE
William Birkin elaborates further on the development
history of the G-Virus. Although Alexia Ashford was
declared dead back in 1983 after apparently injecting
herself with the T-Veronica virus, her recent unexplained
reappearance seems to have reignited Birkin’s bitter
side. What Birkin doesn’t know however is that the
reported sightings of Alexia are in fact that of her
cross-dressing twin brother, Alfred.
Unfortunately for Birkin, the G-Virus will not be
completed for another three years and so he must remain
silent until then.
“The discovery of the G-Virus was in fact 21 years after the
administration of the primogenitor virus.
The "Prototype Parasite" which we had delivered from a laboratory in
France was administered to the sample specimen. The sample
specimen took in the parasite without showing any signs of adverse
reaction.
The lack of any reaction was an unsolved mystery. But now everything
is clear to me now.
The "Prototype Parasite" was incubating in the sample specimen's body
for 21 years. Then from that incubating state the prototype suddenly
mutated. ("Evolved" may be a more appropriate word to describe it.)
This observation gave me more insight in my research. Through further
modification and testing, I was able to derive a method to create the
"G" that surpasses the performance of the "T".
This was the breakthrough that would change the future of the
B.O.W.'s history.
I can't wait to see the look on Alexia's annoying face when I finally
announce my research. But unfortunately I'll have to wait a few more
years to completely verify my findings.
William Birkin”

REGENESIS – A NEWSPAPER ARTCILE ABOUT STARS
The Raccoon City branch of the Special Tactics and Rescue
Service {S.T.A.R.S.} is founded by Albert Wesker. He is
also the overall Commander of the unit and Captain of
Alpha Team. The outfit is based at the Raccoon City
Police Department and is funded by Umbrella Corporation.
“Special Tactics and Rescue Service, or S.T.A.R.S., was established
within the Raccoon City Police Department and is divided into an
Alpha and a Bravo Team. This elite group was formed to respond to
terrorism, organised crime, and emergencies too difficult for the
regular police forces to handle. Its members include a hand-picked
group of specialists, the best of the best. Their funding was provided
by a grant from private organisations, most notably Umbrella
Corporation.”

REUC - RICHARD AIKEN’S LETTER
Richard Aiken joins the STARS in Raccoon City. He writes
a letter to his girlfriend to explain his reasons for
joining after she opposes the idea.
“Dear Bridgette,
I understand your concerns about me taking up this dangerous line of
work. As a member of STARS I will always be in the line of fire. I
figured this was as good a time as any to try and explain my actions.
Bridgette, I know I’ve talked about her before, but the memory of my
little sister eats at me from the inside. I couldn’t save her from that
criminal.
I know you tried to console me, telling me there was nothing I could
do being so young. But I was so paralyzed by fear and doubt that I
couldn’t do anything.
My baby sister was killed right in front of my very eyes and I couldn’t
move an inch. I couldn’t protect her. I was so helpless. It feels like I
should have died in her place and I just can’t shake that feeling.
All I can do is try and bury that feeling and protect the people that
need it most, so they don’t have to go through what I did. I’m not
giving up this job, and I will continue to protect who I can.
STARS is the only way I can live with myself.
I don’t want to die in vain. I never want to hesitate when that moment
comes again.
Don’t worry, I’m not that little kid anymore and I’ll come back alive.
I promise.
You’re the most important thing in my life, and I always want to be
there for you when you need me.
Love,
Richard.”

REDA-EXPERIMENT ALPHA LOG
On a small island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean,
Umbrella houses its main Waste Disposal Facility for
experimental BOW. The supervisor in charge of this
facility is a man by the name of Morpheus D. Duvall. He
drives the workers under him mad with his obsession with
worker health management and the biological weapons
themselves. He treats the place as if it were his own
rather than Umbrella’s.
Today a condemned criminal is transported to the facility
as a guinea pig for a new experiment to be codenamed
‘Pluto.’ This B.O.W. will be researched into the
adaptability of a subject being visually cut off from the
outside world and having key senses removed.

REUC – SERGEI VLADIMIR NOTES
REUC – LETTER FROM SERGEI TO NICHOLAI
As Sergei Vladimir continues up the ranks of Umbrella,
becoming one of Spencer’s most trusted advisors along the
way; it is revealed that his DNA is a match for the
Tyrant programme. If they could utilise the ten clones
Sergei had made of himself, they could find a
breakthrough in the Tyrant research programme and go on
to make a prototype model that would surpass that of the
T-002 currently being developed at the Arklay Laboratory.
It is UBCS supervisor and fellow Russian Nicholai
Ginoveaf who makes this request.
At first, Sergei is hesitant to give up these men he
regards as his ‘family’, yet the Tyrant programme’s
biggest flaw is how long the process takes due to the
lack of suitable hosts. The only completed model so far
is the T-001 and the intelligence levels for that
specimen are far below what is expected. The T-001 is
locked in storage at William Birkin’s lab in Raccoon
City. The only other model in development is the T-002 at
Arklay Labs and that is not yet complete. After much
thought, Sergei knows that Nicholai’s request makes sense
if they are to move closer towards their goal of creating
the pinnacle in biological weaponry.
“Nicholai, I apologise for the delay in responding.
Your offer definitely has the potential to turn quite a profit. However,
the price I had to pay was high and had to be considered carefully.
I have not changed my mind about relinquishing them. I understand
that these ten soldiers I’ve fought alongside with are nothing more
than a number, a price tag, to Umbrella.
I’m sure you are finding this all quite amusing, Silver Fox, but this is a
sad day for me. I feared the day I would have to make this decision.
After all, these men were all raised by me and are a part of me. I
can’t help but feel reservations about turning these thinking, feeling
human beings into biological weapons and cursing them to an eternity
of living death.
However, I have made my decision and will not waver. Progress is
always built on sacrifice. If we are to truly restore our Mother into the
great country she once was, I am willing to endure any amount of
suffering, and a price in blood is still a small price to pay.
If I have to cut down my very body, it is a sacrifice I am willing to
make. I will wail and shed tears of blood and rend every last flesh of
regret from my body if it means I can usher in a new age.
My answer, comrade, is yes. Silver Fox, your wish shall be granted.
Sergei Vladimir.”

highly classified, for come July 1998 Wesker is still
under the belief that the T-002 is the ultimate
biological weapon.

REUC-MEMO ABOUT BILLY’S PAST
Jeff Hendricks of ‘War’s Power’ magazine writes an
article about a possible cover-up of a botched US Special
Forces mission in Africa. A non profit organisation has
disclosed information that the alleged execution of 23
soldiers was actually the slaughter of 23 innocent local
inhabitants. Hendricks believes an obvious cover-up is in
place here and that the marine implicated {Billy Coen}
has been set up.
“Tragedy rocks the US Marine Corps!
A dark day in Africa.
Rumours surround Dunell Marine Base, situated in the American
Heartland.
These rumours were sparked by the UN condemnation of the Guerrilla
Cleanup Operation in Africa.
An NPO has disclosed that the execution of 23 alleged soldiers was
actually the slaughter of 23 innocent local inhabitants.
The military has retracted their initial statements about the operation
and the world is in uproar over their involvement in the affair.
An investigative committee has been quickly assembled to look into
the incident, as the results of the enquiry are disturbing.
They have announced that the truth of the matter is that ‘one marine
panicked under the extreme conditions and unintentionally killed the
civilians.’
The marine is said to be currently being held under close medical
supervision and will receive just punishment in full accordance with the
law. Details on the individual remain undisclosed at this time.
The military’s reluctance to disclose information has only fuelled media
claims of a cover-up.
Should the top brass be allowed to shirk responsibility for a soldier in
their command massacring 23 innocent people? Does this coldblooded killing machine of a marine even exist? This would not be the
first time the military kept information on an operation quiet, but the
emergence of a single solider to blame seems all too convenient and
reeks of conspiracy.
If they do not disclose the full truth behind the incident, there is no
foundation for regaining the trust of the citizens they are supposed to
protect.
The military will not be able to escape the suspicions of the people,
nor of the family of the soldier implicated in this sad affair.
Dunell Marine Base continues to deny media access to the facility,
while soldiers continue their drills as if nothing has happened. Where
is the justice? Is this what our America has become?
We all want to believe that our brave, shining knights in the US
military have our best interests at heart, so we can only hope and
wait for an appropriate response to the public’s outrage.”

REUC - TALOS PROJECT PROPOSAL
REUC - TALOS NOTES
The research staff stationed at Arklay Labs are sent a
proposal to improve the base Tyrant system. Sudden
cellular mutations are still a major problem for this
weapons line. The European 6th Lab has had some success in
using organic parasites to achieve more control. However,
Arklay labs believe they can achieve a more consistent
result by using electronic chip connections to brain
cells.
The proposal then is the TALOS; Tyrant Armoured Lethal
Organic System. This bio weapon will use a standard
tyrant as a base, while adding remote computer control
capabilities via a chip implanted in the brain. Its
cardiovascular system is artificially improved to give it
mobility unthinkable in a natural organism. It is planned
that the body will be armoured in a special metallic
alloy that will not only help it defend itself from
missiles and other projectile fire, but it will also
restrain runaway T-Virus mutation. Researchers will also
plan to equip the finished product with weaponry to allow
it to respond to distant targets. The name comes from a
bronze giant from Greek mythology. A very early prototype
will be developed at Arklay over the course of the year
but due to unforeseen circumstances development will be
shifted to Umbrella’s base in southern Russia.
“Arklay B.O.W Research Team;
The success of the T-002 Tyrant experiment has shown us that
progress towards a marketable humanoid B.O.W is moving along nicely.
However, we must strive to continue the research and development of
cutting-edge products to satisfy the varying needs of our clients.
The plan our team proposes is as follows:
1. Tuning Control Synapse Connector
The current risk with deployment of T-Virus based weaponry is the
lack of control.
Sudden cellular mutations can result in the halting of factuality,
impairment of judgment, and the various other conditions reported in
the past. In order to enable the safe transport and deployment of this
weaponry, a more stable solution is essential.
Our 6th Research Lab in Europe has discovered one method of control
by using organic parasites.
We would like to pursue a more consistent result by using chip
connections to brain cells. We are in the final stages of testing and
feel confident in the likelihood of product realisation.
2. Enhancement of Combat Functionality for Land-Based Weaponry
The Tyrant boasts a combat prowess and survivability that far
surpasses that of even the best-trained combat troops. However, it is
still only theoretically capable of successfully deterring roughly one
military division.
When facing AFVs or military grade helicopters, its kill ratio begins to
falter.
By arming the Tyrant with specialized combat firepower and armour, it
will become more fit for the variety of situations it is likely to face in
the field.
In the past, the ideal has been to leave the Tyrant unhindered by
additional equipment so that it can maximise its two strong pointsmotor performance and response reflexes.
However, the use of enhanced armour module, internal reinforcement
implants, long distance homing weaponry, etc. could preserve the
natural abilities of the Tyrant while maximising its options in field
manoeuvres.
The potential for this enhancement is fast becoming a reality. When
complete, it could make the Tyrant the ultimate all in one combat
package.”

the house. It might have been Alexia, whose extreme beauty is often
talked about. I once asked Sir Alfred about this but it only enraged

as family master Alfred continues to slowly lose his mind
as his obsession with sleeping sister Alexia continues to
grow.
“Sir Alfred,
Please forgive me, as I must tell you of my abrupt departure by
leaving this letter. I first served your father, Lord Alexander, and have
for so long shared in the joys and sorrows of the Ashford family. Lord
Alexander disappeared unexpectedly 15 years ago, then an accident
during an experiment took the life of our dear Alexia. You were forced
to become the master of the family at a very young age, and nearly
lost your sanity from the sorrow of having lost all of your family
members at once. There was nothing I could do, and I felt powerless.
I first thought that I should kill myself to apologise. I then realised
that it would be an insult to our dear Lord Alexander and Alexia in
the other world…
Scott Harman
Butler
Ashford Family.”

REOUT2-ADMINISTRATOR’S DIARY 2
Albert Lester, the ex-administrator at the hospital in
Raccoon Forest, returns to the city after five years of
absence. He is still haunted by the death of his wife
Dorothy. He visits the old hospital, now shut down for
five years. All evidence of the Umbrella experiment is
gone. He comes across a curious plant growing in the
basement and its toxins make him hallucinate. He begins
to believe that the plant is the reincarnation of his
dead wife, Dorothy Lester. He begins to feed her, hunting
birds, dogs and other animals in the region. The plant
grows rapidly in size and he decides to stay with her,
forever. As the plant continues to grow, he begins to
hunt humans with an axe. He waits by a cabin and leads
hikers and passers-by to the hospital.
“It’s been five years since my wife died. They say that time heals all
wounds, but that is absurd. It only gets worse with each passing day.
It will linger forever.
There’s no hope left anymore. None. Oh, Dorothy…why did you have
to leave my behind?
I keep going back to the hospital. I can’t forget her. The experiment
has been covered up and swept under the rug, but I have no feeling
of closure.
I came across a curious plant growing in the intensive care unit in the
basement. My wife’s voice echoes in my head. Am I imagining things?
Or…could it be?
I’ve decided to view this plant as Dorothy’s reincarnation. If I convince
myself that Dorothy’s wise has come true, maybe my own burden of
sadness will be lightened.
One week has passed. Dorothy has grown and now stretches beyond
the basement. A large cluster of her has grown like a bulb in the
basement. I enjoy feeding it birds, dogs and other animals that I hunt
down for her. For my Dorothy. My life feels full again. This is good. I’ll
live out the rest of my life here with her.”

A falsely accused soldier on death-row somewhere abroad
is tortured and forced to give a false confession but has
a miracle on the day of his execution when he is bought
by Umbrella who put him on an intensive six month
training programme in order to join their specialised
UBCS unit.
“I was a good soldier, but they ordered my execution with no reason
given. I was tortured and forced to give a false confession. But on the

Two botanists hiking through Raccoon Forest come across
an abandoned cabin. Inside they find strange tropical
flowers and strong vines. They become convinced they have
discovered a rare new species.
“I can hardly explain my surprise at finding this abandoned cabin. The
strong vines…the gigantic tropical flowers…I was convinced that I’d
discovered a new species.”

WEDNESDAY MARCH 18TH
The two botanists decide to stay the night at the cabin
to study the plants further.
“Rick and I decided to set up camp right here so that we could begin
research and take samples. It is imperative that this site remain
secret.”
THURSDAY MARCH 19TH
The plants are showing signs of collective intelligence.
They gather around the cabin door, preventing the two men
leaving.
“This is no good. The plants seem to possess a will of their own. They
move as if controlled by intelligence. They have blocked the only door
to the cabin.”
FRIDAY MARCH 20TH
REOUT2-BOTANIST’S NOTEBOOK
The botanists are still trapped and one of them swears
there is another person lurking there. They manage to
find an abandoned pharmacy in one of the rooms. They
inject the plant with some chemicals stored there,
killing the plant and allowing them to escape.
“There’s no way out of this place. If it comes down to it, I can use
my satellite phone as a last resort. We have a week’s worth of food
left. It’s best just to wait for now.
Rick swears up and down that he can sense a human presence here,
he’s likely hallucinating. Meanwhile, I managed to drop my phone and
break it. I no longer care about new plant species. I just want out of
here.
There’s a room that appears to be a pharmacy here. I found a tank
full of medicine or chemicals in there. The vines around it have begun
to wilt and decay.
There’s a knob-like protrusion on pat of the vine climbing the wall. It’s
much more tender than other parts of the plant. I used a syringe to
inject it with the medicine. It worked! We can get out now!”
- Extract taken from Botanist’s Notebook; 20/03/98.
As they begin to move through the forest however, they
come across Albert Lester, who kills them both with his
axe in order to feed their corpses to the plant in the
hospital he believes to be his wife, Dorothy.
“Rick is dead. He was killed. Who is that freak? Why is he attacking
us?
Bianca, Jessie.
Please forgive your father for dying before you. I’ll always love you.”

RE3 – SECUIRTY MANUAL
After taking up his new position, the Manager is given
his instructions regarding the security of the Dead
Factory.
“Security of the Plant
Since this plant is a facility under the guise of a deserted factory,
civilians will sometimes enter. If this should occur, do not hesitate to
shoot them. If they choose to surrender, arrest them and then transfer
them to the laboratory as guinea pigs. You will be rewarded.
Maintenance of the Device
This entire plant is controlled by an epidemic prevention system. When
contamination is detected in the treatment room or decomposed
specimen pool, the plant will be automatically locked down for
isolation. In that case, you must follow the manual to unlock it. If the
contamination is over the limit, the whole system will automatically
lockdown. Then, you must remain in the plant and wait for subsequent
orders. Those who leave the facility without permission will suffer
extreme consequences.”

A creature stirs in the sewers near the old abandoned
Umbrella Training Facility in Raccoon Forest. This
creature is the mutated form of the Queen Leech that Dr
Marcus created twenty years ago. It typically takes the
form of a young Dr. Marcus, but breaks this mould to
become its first transfigured form. It possesses
extremely high intelligence and it thinks and acts just
like Dr Marcus, who was assassinated ten years ago. It
even has the ability to speak. This surprising phenomenon
was made possible by the Queen Leech entering the remains
of Dr. Marcus and merging with his DNA over such a long
period of time.
Ten years have passed since the fusion sparked by the TVirus. During that time, the bodily tissue was
transformed, allowing it to reach its ultimate form. As
the name Queen Leech implies, it reigns over countless
mutated leeches, which it commands at its whim.

Umbrella Chief of Security Charles Coleman faxes
instructions to the manager in charge of the sewer

The memo dates when key personnel will need to access the
facility.
“On the first and third Wednesdays of the month, Angelica Margaret,
chief of maintenance, will make use of the facilities. Be sure to reduce
moisture levels in the facility by activating the fan, because the
equipment she will be using is susceptible to the effects of water
vapour.
On the 28th of every month, the chemical transporter Don Weller will
use the facility. The chemicals he will be transporting are extremely
volatile. Extreme caution should be used throughout their transport.
On the 6th and 16th of every month, Police Chief Brian Irons will visit
the facility to attend the regular meetings that take place in the lab.
On the 4th Friday of every other month, William Birkin will use the
facility to conduct a training seminar for the Chicago branch of
Umbrella Corporation. The probability of an attack upon William Birkin
will be high, so take every measure conceivable to guard his life. You
will be informed of all other potential visitors and the times they will
arrive as needed. Guide these individuals to their destinations safely.

REMAKE – KEEPER’S DIARY
REUC – KEEPER’S DIARY
After a particularly long shift at the Spencer Mansion in
Raccoon Forest, a Keeper settles down for the evening
with a few of his colleagues for a poker night. It seems
the Keeper doesn’t have much luck when it comes to the
cards.
“Played poker tonight with Scott and Alias from Security, and Steve
from Research. Steve was the big winner, but I think he was cheating.
Scumbag.”
- Extract from Keeper’s Diary; 09/05/98
SUNDAY MAY 10TH
The next day, the Keeper begins his working day with
instructions to take care of one of the biological
weapons created from T-Virus experimentation.
Designated ‘Chimera’, this B.O.W. was produced by
combining the genes of a human being with those of a fly.
Due to the unique properties of the introduced virus, the
two combined magnificently. The resulting hybrid form is
reminiscent of the chimera from Greek mythology.
The Chimera has a grotesque appearance and has caused
several researchers at the facility some psychological
damage just by laying eyes on it.
Numerous maggots hatch from its body cavity, and it
circles its human prey emitting a disconcerting noise
that often confuses them and provokes fear. It is an
aggressive B.O.W., but its fly-like intelligence limits
it to set attack patterns.
“One of the higher-ups assigned me to take care of a new creature. It
looks like a skinned gorilla. Feeding instructions were to give it live
animals.
When I threw in a pig, the creature seemed to play with it…tearing off
the pig’s legs and pulling out the guts before it started eating.”

“I wasn’t surprised to see the Chief come in today with yet another
large picture frame in his hands. This time it was a really disturbing
painting depicting a nude person being hanged. I was appalled by the
expression on the Chief’s face as he leered at that painting.
Why anyone would consider something like that to be a work of art is
beyond my comprehension.”

RE0 – GAME
APPROX 1-4AM
In the early hours of the morning, James Marcus makes his
way across Raccoon Forest from the Training Facility to
the Spencer Estate located a few miles away.
As most of the personnel are on downtime, he is able to
slip unnoticed into the facility.
Even though some researchers are working through the
night, Marcus is able to access viral storage undetected.
Disguising it as an accident by the careless scientists,
he leaks the T-virus in the lab, knowing it will infect
the workers and spread across the whole complex.
Before anyone notices the outbreak and a general alarm is
sounded, Marcus leaves the Arklay labs and heads back to
the Training Facility before daybreak.
5AM
The biohazard has soon been detected and an alert is sent
out across the facility to key personnel. Security guard
Scott, who won big in the poker game two nights
previously, comes to wake up the Keeper in his room on
the ground floor in the east wing of the mansion, giving
him a biohazard protection suit to prevent possible
infection, although it may already be too late.
“At around 5AM, Scott woke me up, scared the shit out of me too. He
was wearing a protective suit. He handed me another one and told me
to put it on. Said there’d been an accident in the basement lab. I just
knew something like this would happen. Those bastards in Research
never sleep, not even on holidays, so it was only a matter of time
before one of them slipped up.”

RE1 – PLANT 42 REPORT
REMAKE – PLANT 42 REPORT
It doesn’t take long for the rest of the facility
residents to realise that something is seriously wrong.
Rumours are beginning to spread and people are beginning
to panic.
Realising what is going to happen, one researcher suffers
a mental breakdown and smashes up the Aqua Ring, flooding
the basement levels of the Guardhouse and letting loose
the experimental ‘FI-03’ Neptune shark B.O.W.s in the
process. Using a Great White Shark as a base, the result
is a huge new body that far surpasses its natural size.
The naturally aggressive tendencies of its species have
been increased, and its strength has also been augmented
to the extent that it fears no living creature. As well
as the main test subject, two smaller ones are also loose
that are still in the middle of their developing stages
and to that end, their attack and defensive properties
are far below that of the completed Neptune.
The Guard Room is half submerged rendering the equipment
inside useless. The lower level is completely underwater
and the only access to the control room where the
emergency drainage system is located can only be reached
by wading past the sharks themselves.
“Immediately after the accident, a scientist went mad and destroyed
the Aqua Ring. Ever since, the basement has been like a pool.”

REGENESIS – A MEMO REGARDING BIOHAZARD SUIT POLICY
Realising they cannot keep the outbreak a secret and due
to the seriousness of the incident, a memo is sent out to
every member working at the estate in order to prevent
further infection as a precautionary measure, however, no
specific details of the accident are revealed.
“New procedure to be enacted immediately. Due to a recent accident
in the lab, all members of this facility are required to wear biohazard
suits, which will be provided. Please advise the medical staff without
delay if you are experiencing any skin irritation.”
- Taken from A Memo Regarding Biohazard Suit Policy;
undated.
TUESDAY MAY 12TH
Despite the ‘accident’ the previous day, the facility
personnel are told to report back to work. The Keeper is
annoyed at having to carry out his duties whilst still
wearing the biohazard suit, which he has now had on for
over 24 hours. He also notes how the facility guard dogs
have been acting a bit strangely, as if they can sense
something is wrong.
“I’ve been wearing this damn space suit since yesterday. My skin’s
getting grimy and feels itchy all over. The damn dogs have been
looking at me funny, so I decided not to feed them today. Screw’em.”

RECVX – PRISONER’S DIARY
On Rockfort Island, a new prisoner is transferred to the
barracks at the prison complex. He makes friends with his
cellmate, Robert Dorson, who until very recently was
facility Commander Alfred Ashford’s private attendant.
“This room stinks of death. Based on the information I’ve found, I
believe that I’m far south of the equator.
Lucky for me that Bob in the bunk below me is one of those
interesting types of guys…”
- Recovered from Prisoner’s Diary; 13/05/98
Back at the Arklay Labs, the Keeper reports to the
medical team for an examination. After examining his
symptoms, the doctors realise that he is indeed infected.
However, the Keeper is not made aware of this fact,
neither is anyone else who has already been exposed. He
is told to remove the haz-mat suit and to go about his
work as normal. The Keeper complies, blissfully unaware
of his impending doom. It seems that the management are
trying to keep everything under wraps to avoid mass
panic.
“I went to the infirmary because my back is all swollen and feels itchy.
They put a big bandage on it and told me I didn’t need to wear the
suit anymore. I guess I can sleep well tonight.”
- Transcribed from Keeper’s Diary; 13/05/98
THURSDAY MAY 14TH 1998
The Keeper begins to develop symptoms of infection,
including blisters and degrading patches of skin. With
operations running on skeleton staff due to the accident
he discovers that several of the guard dogs have escaped
the confines of their pens and are now running loose in
the forest. This is definitely a bad thing and he decides
not to report the incident, realising it will probably go
unnoticed anyway as the higher-ups are too busy worrying
about the viral spill to care.
“Found another big blister on my foot this morning. I ended up
dragging my foot all the way to the dog’s pen. They were quiet all
day, which is weird. Then I realised some of them had escaped. Maybe
this is their way of getting back at me for not feeding them the last
three days. If anybody finds out, I’ll have my head handed to me.”
RE3 – MANAGER’S DIARY
Back in Raccoon City, the manager of Umbrella’s ‘Dead
Factory’ writes how the new disposal system for getting
rid of guinea pigs sent from William Birkin’s lab had now
been completed. He expresses the need for further testing
before putting the system into operation. However, they
do still have the incinerator plant at the rear of the
factory as a back-up.
“The disposal system has been completed. Using a special type of
gas, it can decompose the cells of the guinea pigs. We have to try
this out before beginning practical usage of the system, since it isn’t
100% stable yet.”
- Extracted from Manager’s Diary; 14/05/98
“The incinerator plant is one of the facilities that burn the disposable
items which are sent from the laboratory. The incinerator burns the
waste materials that cannot be decomposed at the treatment room. It
also supplies electricity to the facility by a thermal power electricity
generator. Part of the electricity is stored in the big battery installed
in the facility’s underground area. The electricity is used as an
auxiliary power source. The auxiliary power circuit will be activated
once the three ‘auxiliary circuit units’ are properly placed in their
sockets. In case the circuits are not connected automatically, a person
can connect them manually to activate the system.”

REMAKE – RESEARCHER’S WILL
At the mansion, The Keeper finally has a rest day and
decides to leave the claustrophobic confines of Arklay
Labs and go and see a friend. However, security has been
stepped up to the highest level and he is informed that
Umbrella has ordered no one is allowed to leave the
grounds under any circumstances. It is also apparent that
Albert Wesker has been in touch with the staff via video
link to instruct the staff further. Under his orders, no
one is allowed to make contact with the outside under any
circumstances.
The Keeper cannot even make a phone call as all outside
lines have been disconnected as per Wesker’s say so. He
is frustrated and wants to know just what is going on.
But he is beginning to suspect the ‘accident’ that
occurred four days ago is much more serious than
supervision is letting on.
“Even though I didn’t feel well, I decided to go see Nancy. It’s my first
day off in a long time but I was stopped by a guard on the way out.
They say the company has ordered no one to leave the grounds. I
can’t even make a phone call. What kind of joke is this?”

REMAKE – V-ACT
Due to the lack of available researchers following the TVirus spill, research is suspended on the Crimson Head
Prototype 1. The specimen still remains locked away and
preserved in the basement of the backyard cemetery.
“There is now evidence that when the host loses consciousness, the
body goes into a dormant state. During this time the virus becomes
active and rapidly transforms and reconstructs the basic composition
of the body.
The host eventually mutated into a humanoid creature. {We call them
V-ACTs}
Its speed and amazing muscular development are particularly
noteworthy. After transformation, it becomes more agile and
aggressive.
Already four of our researchers have died from trying to feed it,
turning the place into an instant blood bath. {Ever since this tragic
and barbaric accident, we have decided to call its kind ‘Crimson
Heads’}
That dangerous and precious prototype specimen can’t be left there.
We have to figure out a way to deal with it. Termination is definitely
not an option.
We finally decided to freeze the specimen and confine the body inside
the basement of the backyard cemetery.”
- Transcript of V-Act; undated.
In the mansion Guardhouse, scientist Henry Sarton
documents how the T-Virus has affected the plant at
observation point 42 since the accident occurred. It has
evolved at an alarming rate and the researchers have
observed with great interest as the subject’s growth
overwhelmed other plants. In a short time, its girth
caused it to break through the floor and walls of the
dormitory.
“Four days have passed since the accident. The plant at Point 42 is
growing at an amazing rate.
Although there are many unknown aspects of this plant, we know that
in comparison with the other group of plants, the T-Virus has had a
substantially stronger effect on this one.
The T-Virus has drastically morphed its host’s anatomy and size.
Looking at its current state, it’s difficult to imagine its original
appearance. Nowhere on Earth will you find anything like it.”

One of the researcher’s makes a desperate bid to escape
the facility and tries to make a run for it, hoping to go
through the forest and head back to Raccoon City.
However, he is spotted by the armed security patrolling
the estate and is shot and killed.
SATURDAY MAY 16TH
Back in Raccoon City, Chief Irons attends the lab for
another meeting with William Birkin, possibly to discuss
what has happened at the Spencer Estate and for Irons to
make sure nothing is leaked to the press.
At the now quarantined mansion, The Keeper hears about
the shooting that occurred the previous night. His
symptoms are also beginning to get worse and he is
itching and scratching his body all over. He is extremely
scared about what is happening to him and he knows now
that the medical staff lied to him about his symptoms
when he had his examination a few days earlier.
“A rumour is going round that a researcher who tried to escape the
estate last night was shot. My entire body feels hot and itchy and I’m
sweating all the time now. I scratched the swelling on my arm and a
piece of rotten flesh just dropped off. What the hell’s happening to
me?”

Far away from the unfolding events at the Arklay Labs,
Robert Dorson explains to his cell-mate just who he is
and why he has been imprisoned in the barracks on
Rockfort Island. He used to be Alfred Ashford’s closest
aide until he made a small mistake, possibly involving
talk of Alfred’s twin sister, the mysterious Alexia.
After listening to the story, the prisoner wonders that
if Bob was imprisoned for such a small mistake, then what
is going to happen to him?
“Today Bob told me some crazy story of why he was put in this place
with me. Bob said that he used to be an attendant of the head of
this place. This ‘boss’ named Alfred supposedly placed him in here
because of a tiny little mistake. What does that mean? What’s going

Back at the mansion Guardhouse, Plant 42 continues to
grow, its roots having now reached the basement levels
where it feeds off the nutrients contained in the
flooding waters which house the Neptune B.O.W.’s whom are
swimming freely below.
Several researchers have been killed by the plant and
some have even had their veins completely bled dry as it
sucks human blood through tentacle-like appendages that
have sprouted from its bulb.
Surviving researchers including Henry Sarton have
concluded that the Plant is attacking humans because the
T-Virus has resulted in an extraordinary increase in the
creature’s intelligence. In other words, Plant 42 has
begun to act on its own judgement, attacking humans with
its bloodsucking tendrils in order to preserve its own
life.
To make matters worse, infected wasps have begun to
appear in the Guardhouse areas. They must have built
their nests somewhere in the dormitory areas to propagate
their numbers. The effects of the virus appear to be
different for each wasp, including varying sizes and
different levels of endurance.
The main trait the wasps share is a giant stinger that’s
filled with their natural venom mixed with the T-Virus.
True to its instincts, an infected wasp encircles its
prey before thrusting it’s stinger into the prey’s body.
This spreads the virus even further and already a few
researchers have fallen victim to them.

The Keeper is now rapidly succumbing to the effects of

prisoner knows he is being taken to the building next to
the guillotine stand. It would seem many of Rockfort’s
prisoners end up visiting there, and none of them ever
come back.
“Without warning, a group of military men took Bob to the building
behind the guillotine stand. At midnight, I’ll sneak out of here to see
him. I’ve been hearing that anyone taken to that building never comes
back. On top of that, there are these REALLY large plastic bags
constantly being removed from that place. I’d better pray for Bob…”
Back in Raccoon City, at the Dead Factory located on the
outskirts of town, the manager is conducting a routine
inspection of the treatment room when he accidentally
locks himself inside. He realises he cannot get out, even
with a key card. He impatiently has to sit in there and
wait presumably until one of his staff realises and comes
to let him out.
“While I was checking the treatment room, the door shut and I was
locked inside. I couldn’t get out for an hour I guess even if you have

Not long into their walk, they discover a body of a woman
washed up on the bank of the river.
She has been severely mauled and her body must have been

VERY EARLY HOURS
On Rockfort Island, Robert Dorson is tortured to death by
the Anatomist working for Alfred Ashford. He is taken
down to the secret torture room hidden beneath the
building and made to die in agony on the various torture
devices.
Up above, Dorson’s former bunk mate has managed to get
out of his dormitory and slipped past the guards. He
arrives at the anatomist’s building but is frozen stiff
when he hears horrible screams coming from within the hut
as well as a creepy laughter.
Now too scared to help, the prisoner makes his way back
to his dormitory in the barracks and jumps back into his
bunk, unnerved by the whole experience.
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have gone there. What is going on in there?
All I could hear was some insanely creepy laughter and the sound of
Bob screaming. I don’t know what to do. I can’t stop thinking about
it…Is that going to happen to me?! I can’t let it…I just can’t…”
- Evidence recovered from Prisoner’s Diary; 21/05/98
Back in the torture clinic, the anatomist who has just
tortured Robert Dorson notes how all this death is
beginning to warp his mind.
“There is a demon in my mind. I can’t control the fierce impulses that
the demon sometimes drives me to act upon. It is a brutal ceremony.
With the demon next to me, I enjoy watching people agonize in pain,
screaming and convulsing repeatedly as they die.
But, Sir Alfred was kind enough to acknowledge me, and has given me
the facilities, chemicals and ‘equipment’ necessary to study everything.
I must never betray Sir Alfred’s kindness. It is especially critical that no
one discovers the sacred place that only he and I know about. I
swear, the basement of this medical building will be kept secret.
Of course, I keep the key to the sacred place with me at all
times…Even if an outsider see’s it, they will never be able to tell that
it is the key. I must remember that my life ends when I lose Sir
Alfred’s trust.”

DAY
At the mansion, Scott the security guard comes looking
for the Keeper. He is in his room and has now almost
fully transformed into a zombie, hanging onto his last
shred of human intelligence. His increased metabolism
causes him to lunge at Scott and kill him. He then begins
to feed off his corpse.
“Itchy itchy Scott came. Ugly face so killed him. Tasty.
4.
Itchy.
Tasty.”
Henry Sarton and the surviving members of his research
staff continue to observe and report on the behaviour of
Plant 42 in the Guardhouse. It has now taken hold of the
entire dormitory, with its roots firmly in place across
the entire building.
“We’ve also found that Plant 42 has two main ways to acquire its
necessary nutrients. One source is through its root. Somehow, it has
rooted itself down into the basement.
Immediately after the accident, a scientist went mad and destroyed
the aqua ring. Ever since, the basement has been like a pool. There is
a high possibility that one of the chemicals in the water is promoting
Plant 42’s rapid growth.
However, we have yet to determine the specific chemical.
A bulb-like body of Plant 42 has been sighted hanging from the ceiling
of the first floor. We are sure that it used the air ducts to reach the
first floor. Numerous long tentacle-like vines are protruding from the
bulb.
We believe these vines are the second means of acquiring its
nutrients. When Plant 42 senses prey, it uses these vines to capture
its prey. Then suckers on the vines drain the prey of its blood.
We’ve also noticed that it has some intelligence. When it captures its
prey or when it’s inactive, the vines twirl around the door to stop
possible intruders.
Unfortunately, several of our scientists have already fallen victim to
this Plant 42. When we heard the stories form the survivors, they all
observed one thing in common.
When the uniform petal-like flaps open and reveal its vital internal
organs, it has a tendency to become more aggressive.
One witness reported that it was as if it was trying to protect itself.
Why it behaves the way it does is still unknown.
May 21st 1998,
Henry Sarton.”

At the Rockfort Island prison barracks, the prisoners are
decreasing in number. As the days pass by, one by one
they are all removed from the dorm and taken to the
building beyond the guillotine where the Anatomist lies
in wait for them.
Eventually, only Robert Dorson’s original bunk mate
remains, waiting to be sent to his impending doom.
REMAKE – ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LAB EXPERIMENT
RE - ARCHIVES
Back at the Spencer Mansion, in the Guardhouse the
surviving staff have come up with some countermeasures to
fight back against the ever powerful Plant 42.
As already noted, the specimen is intelligent enough to
develop defences against intruders. Once the victims are
in range, it whips out at them with thorny appendages, or
seizes them around the neck and strangles them with its
incredible strength. Additionally, the T-Virus has
enabled it to excrete acidic sap from its petals and
tentacles, which it uses to defend itself.
However, despite its dramatic evolution, Plant 42 is
still just a plant at its core, and is extremely
susceptible to fire. Also, the researchers have come up
with an analysis indicating that the UMB chemical V-Jolt
weakens the creature’s plant based cellular structure.
“The similarities in the cellular characteristics of the rapidly growing
plant infected by the Tyrant-Virus have been reported in previous
papers. However, while repeating these experiments, an interesting new
fact became clear.
We learned that a chemical in the UMB family, UMB No.20, contains a
compound that is toxic to the cells of the plant.
We have given UMB No.20 a new name: V-Jolt. If our calculations
prove correct, when V-Jolt is applied directly to the root of the plant,
the entire plant should be dead within five seconds.
V-Jolt can be made by simply mixing the VP and UMB chemicals in a
specific ratio. However, extra care must be taken when handling these
UMB chemicals. They have been known to generate toxic gases if
mishandled.”

In the main mansion itself, almost half the research
staff has succumbed to the effects of the T-Virus, their
skin has decayed and their intelligence has severely
deteriorated. Blood congeals all over their skin and all
functions outside of the autonomic nervous system have
completely shut down, resulting in an inability to feel
pain.
Their high vitality stems from an incredible metabolism
and also causes the itching sensation symptom. It also
brings about extreme hunger, driving them to wander the
halls in search of human flesh and attacking the
survivors. Those not yet fully transformed will just
stand and stare into space, capable of just basic motor
functions.
In the courtyard, garden and exterior mansion grounds,
small venomous snakes have become infected, causing them
to multiply uncontrollably. They detect their prey by
sensing body heat, and attack in groups. They thrive near
water and prefer damp places. They also have faster
reflexes then typical snakes and will jump to bite into
humans on sight.
Crows that live in Raccoon Forest become infected by
flying near the mansion grounds and eating dead flesh and
bugs carrying the virus. They construct several
territories for themselves inside the mansion. They
rarely attack unless their territory is disturbed, and
when they do, they peck their targets with their sharp
beaks fiercely and repeatedly.

RE1 – SCRAPBOOK
One of the Raccoon City newspapers the Raccoon Times,
runs a story about the female body found washed up on the
banks of the Marble River the previous week. Local police
are putting her death down to her being attacked by some
wild animal in the forest. In reality, she is the first
victim of the Cerberus B.O.W.S that have been roaming the
forest since escaping from the Spencer Estate.
“Animal Attack?
Woman mutilated May 20th.
At around 10pm a 20 year-old young woman’s body was found by a
passer by on the left bank of the Marble River in the Older District of
Raccoon City. Raccoon Police assume it to be a grizzly or other
animal’s doing because there are teeth marks along her mutilated
arms and left foot that show considerable power. Since she was
wearing a hiking boot on her remaining foot, it has been determined
that she was attacked in the Arklay Mountains and fell into the river.
They are hurrying to identify this woman.”

Now all alone in the prison barracks on Rockfort Island,
the prisoner has given up all hope of escape, he is
physically and emotionally drained. He realises now that
he and all his friends have been nothing but playthings
to Alfred Ashford and his twisted anatomist.
“Since my last entry, all of my fellow inmates have been taken to that
building! I know that I am next…It’s obvious that we were all here to
be used as Alfred’s guinea pigs. There’s no way out! What I am going

At the mansion, due to the lack of personnel, many of the
B.O.W test subjects have escaped their confines and are
freely roaming round the estate.
An experimental snake has grown to a gigantic size and
set up its home in the rafters of the mansion attic,
occasionally venturing out through a hole in the roof to
look for food. It appears to be yawning as it swallows
its prey, leading to the researches naming it ‘The Yawn’.
It’s unique in that its width is inconsistent with its
length, and the venom it secretes through its sharp fangs
requires an unusually powerful serum to counteract it.
The Yawn does not have highly developed intelligence and
is incapable of any physical movement beyond that of a
normal snake.
Because of how dangerous it is, the mansion attic is
declared off-limits and is locked with the key being
hidden in the grandfather clock in the dining room on the
first floor where it is hoped it will stay undiscovered.
In the labs, Chimeras hide in narrow places and nest in
the ventilation ducts, lying in wait in the darkness for
their prey.
In the tunnel network beneath the courtyard, spiders have
mutated and grown in size, some becoming too large to
spin any webs. One in particular has grown very large due
to further, unexpected mutations that increased their
life force and attack power considerably. It is darker in
colour; and has been christened the ‘Black Tiger’ by eyewitnesses.
Thankfully however, the two most dangerous B.O.W.’s held
at the facility are still securely locked up. The vicious
MA-121 Hunters are still in their pens and the T-002
Tyrant model is still securely locked in a stasis tube in
the main laboratory. Also in the laboratory, is the very
early prototype for the T.A.L.O.S. project.
REMAKE – BODY DISPOSAL
Many of the zombies that have been killed by those left
alive at the mansion have been reanimated by V-ACT,
causing them to mutate into crimson heads. This occurs
when the creature’s body tissue is reconstructed on a
cellular level, and it resumes activity with an increased
bloodlust. This is turn causes it to move faster and even
jump at its victims. They are much more dangerous then
regular zombies making it even more of a struggle for the
people still trying to survive the disaster.
The only way to kill these creatures is by burning the
bodies or removing the head altogether. Some survivors
have gathered together some cans of kerosene and have
placed them at various locations on the first floor of
the mansion. If anyone comes across a ‘dead’ zombie,
orders are for the body to be burned without hesitation
to prevent transformation.
“Special Instructions for Disposing of Dead Bodies.
We have new information regarding those beings. They may appear to
be dead, but in fact, they are able to come back to life. However,
there are ways to prevent them from becoming active again.
Currently, there are two known methods to cease their resurrection.
Incineration
Destruction of the head
If further methods are discovered, you will be notified immediately.
Meanwhile, to those of you who still have the will to live, oil has been
placed on the first floor of the mansion. Take as much as you need.
You’ll need something to light it with, which you’ll need to find
yourself.”

Although they continue to fight in vain, almost all of
the survivors have begun to show symptoms of T-Virus
infection. They have been trapped for a month now, and
Umbrella doesn’t seem to be sending in help anytime soon.
The armed security patrols have all been wiped out,
meaning that the mansion is no longer locked down and can
be accessed by outsiders. Zombies roam the halls, and the
vicious B.O.W.s lurk around every corner.
Umbrella’s Sanitation Division receive a report conducted
by the specially constructed Raccoon Disaster Contingency
Committee detailing their conclusions on the current
situation at Arklay. One of their main concerns is that
the mansion is now open to outsiders and that with the
increasing numbers of murders and disappearances in the
woods due to the B.O.W.s running loose; it is only a
matter of time before an official police investigation
begins and the area will be put under heavy scrutiny.
However, Umbrella have two key men working for them at
the R.P.D. Chief of Police Brian Irons and Captain of
S.T.A.R.S. Albert Wesker.

After reading the contents of this fax, it must be destroyed
immediately.
We expect significant increase in the damage done by the recent TVirus outbreak over the initial estimate. There are several concerns.
First concern
More than half of the researchers have been infected by the T-Virus
and died. It has also been reported that almost all of the survivors of
this accident are beginning to show symptoms of T-Virus infection.
Second concern
Our secret security patrol team has been completely eradicated.
Therefore, our most secret research is in danger of public disclosure.
Quick action is required to prevent mass media coverage.
Third concern
There is a high possibility that most of the specimens are running
loose inside the compound. We expect many casualties to follow.
However unfortunate they may be, these casualties underscore the
success of our research results. Action must be taken to prevent our
research results from being made public.
We suspect the first official investigation will come from the State
Police and S.T.A.R.S. We strongly recommend taking measures against
them first.”

RES – HOW TO EXTRACT BETA HETERO NONSEROTONIN
REUC – IVAN NOTES
RE - ARCHIVES
On another island owned and operated by Umbrella Corp,
named Sheena Island, a research team led by a newly
transferred man by the name of Vincent Goldman, has
finally come up with a breakthrough in the Tyrant
programme.
“To establish a system of mass-producing Tyrants, it is absolutely
necessary that during the process of gene cultivation, a large amount
of pure Beta Hetero Nonserotonin must be injected. This material is
one of the human brain's elements. It has been revealed that the
material is mainly produced by the pituitary of people at the latter
period of developing their secondary sex characteristics. Also, medical
data shows that this cerebral material is produced in response to the
excessive secretion of noradrenalin that is produced from the locus
ceruleus in the brain stem. Noradrenalin is the cerebral material
secreted when people are in a state of extreme tension or fear. As
the Beta Hetero Nonserotonin only exists in active cells, you can't
extract it from a dead brain. Thus, the best way to extract the
material is to cut open the subject's skull without using anesthesia.
This will cause excessive secretion of noradrenalin. The pituitary is
then ripe for immediate extraction.
Vincent Goldman,
Commander Tyrant Plant on Sheena Island”
This research has come from extensive testing on the
Tyrants created from the ten clones of Sergei Vladimir.
The Tyrants made from these clones have been given the
model number T-103.
Compared to the T-002, the T-103 has a considerably more
humanoid form. This means that a product capable of
meeting the ultimate goal of infiltrating enemy territory
is much closer than anticipated. Additionally, if its
life support reaches a critical point, it will remove its
power limiter and transform into a ‘Super Tyrant.’ More
importantly, it has a much higher capacity for following
orders than previous models.
Colonel Sergei Vladimir orders two of these Tyrants to be
reprogrammed to act as his own personal bodyguards. He
name them simply; ‘Ivan.’
“A derivation of the T-103 Tyrant line that Sergei had re-engineered to
act as his personal bodyguard. Its basic combat functionality is that of
a T-103, but it has been modified to better assimilate into human
society. In addition to the trademark T-103 defensive coat, this model
is also equipped with sunglasses that include an HMD.
Major improvements on this model include greater powers of
comprehension and the ability to pass as human. It is still a T-103,
and as such, can transform into a Super Tyrant when the situation
calls for it.”

Raccoon City journalist Alyssa Ashcroft writes an article
into the findings of an undercover investigation into the
finances of the Chairman of the Board of Directors at
Raccoon Zoo, Elliot Martin. It seems many of the new
extensions and exhibits recently unveiled at the zoo may
be the result of illegal money coming from Martin’s
illegal trading of rare orchid specimens.
“’Raccoon Zoo’s Bootlegging Disgrace’
Alyssa Ashcroft, Staff Writer.
A recent inquiry into the finances of Elliot Martin {67}, chairman of the
local zoo’s board of directors, has revealed shocking news.
The Washington Treaty specifically prohibits the trade of rare orchid
specimens, but Martin has repeatedly defied this ruling, according to
an anonymous tip from within the zoo.
If this is true, many questions arise regarding the funds derived from
these sales. Is this new flora exhibit truly a place for children to
dream and learn, or is it merely an illegal money-making scheme?”

Back at the Spencer Mansion, researcher Martin Crackhorn
manages to evade the zombies and creatures stalking the
halls and locks himself in his study on the 2nd floor of
the east wing. Despite, surviving this far, he is
beginning to show symptoms of infection but he has used
his knowledge of the virus to delay the transformation
process for as long as he can.
As the zombies sniff him out and begin banging on his
door trying to get inside, Martin decides to commit
suicide before he becomes one of them. But first, he
needs to say goodbye to his true love. Searching round
the room, he finds some paper and sits down at his desk
opposite the fish tank to say his final goodbye.
“June 3rd, 1998
My dearest Alma.
Let me first apologise for not being able to call you. A man wearing
sunglasses didn’t permit any phone calls. I’m sorry, Alma.
I sit here trying to think of where to begin, how to explain in a few
simple words all that’s happened in my life since we last spoke, and
already I fail. I hope this letter finds you well, and that you’ll forgive
the tangents of my pen; this isn’t easy for me.
I think I told you that I moved to the pharmaceutical company’s lab.
They headhunted me. Even as I write, I can feel the simplest of
concepts slipping away, lost to feelings of despair and confusion-but I
have to tell you what’s in my heart before I can rest. Alma, please
believe that what I’m telling you is the truth.
The entire story would take hours for me to tell you, and time is
short, so accept these things as fact: last month there was an
accident in the lab, and the virus we were studying was leaked.
All my colleagues who were infected are dead or dying, and the
nature of the disease is such that those still living have lost their
senses. This virus robs its victims of their humanity, forcing them in
their sickness to seek out and destroy life.
Even as I write this, I can hear them, pressing against my door like
mindless, hungry animals.
Alma, I have tried to survive to see you again. But my efforts have
only delayed the inevitable. I am infected, and there is no cure for
what will follow-except to end my life before I lose the one thing that
separates me from them:
my love for you.
Within the hour I will have entered my eternal sleep, where there is
peace. Please understand. Please know that I am sorry.

RE - ARCHIVES
Back at the Spencer Estate, down in the depths of the
laboratory, Chief Researcher John is one of the last
survivors. He took over as Chief Researcher at Arklay
from William Birkin back in 1993 after having transferred
from Umbrella’s Chicago branch. He inherited the chief
oversight responsibility for B.O.W. research and
development and is an exceptionally gifted scientist.
However, he always refused to participate in criminal
research and because of this he was thoroughly disliked
by the upper levels of the company.
John is hiding in the Dark Room, where numerous x-rays of
fellow employees line the walls. He has just discovered,
but is not surprised, that he is infected with the virus
and will eventually become a zombie like so many others.
He decides the only way he can redeem himself is to write
a letter to his girlfriend, detailing how she can escape
the mansion, with evidence of the work going on there and
expose Umbrella through the press.
It seems his girlfriend, Ada Wong, has visited the
mansion before and has quite a bit of knowledge
pertaining to the estate.
He also begs her to kill him if she were to come across
him transformed.
“June 8th, 1998.
My Dearest Ada,
By the time you read this letter, I will no longer be the person you
once knew. The results of my test came today, and as I suspected, it
came out positive.
I feel like I am teetering on the edge of reason just thinking about my
impending doom. I would give anything not to become one of them.
As far as I know, you are not infected. I sincerely hope things do not
reach such a desperate pass, but if it has turned out that you are
now the last person remaining alive, I want you to get the material
from the Visual Data room.
Then, activate the self-destruct system in the power room, and escape
from here. Please do everything in your power to make the whole
incident public.
If everything is still running normally, you should be able to release all
of the locks using the security system.
I have set up the terminal in the small security room so that you can
log in using my name and yours as the password.
You will need another password to release the lock on the door in
the 2nd –level basement where the visual data room is located.
As a safety measure, I have coded that password into an x-ray photo.
I know you, and I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out without any
trouble.
There is just one more thing-and this is my last request. I hope you
never have to lay eyes on me in this state, but if you do run into me

you understand.
Thank you Ada.

of Plant 42 that are blocking many of the doors.
After working as a team to avoid the zombies, they have

But Robert started to show the symptoms. I had to do it. Those damn
things are pure evil…
There was no other way. He would have done the same if it were the
other way around. After I put him out of his misery I had to just put
him in the bathroom. Now I’m probably the last one…
How could this happen? I’ll never forgive myself for being part of this

to escape from this nut house. It’s just a matter of time now…
Everything is set. All I need is a little courage to get it done. Knowing
that I’ll leave many things undone is regret beyond words…
But, this is better than just waiting to turn into one of them. Please
understand and at least let me end my life as a person…

aware of the unfolding events. They were sent to recover the facility.”
- Extract from Resident Evil 0 Digest 2.
There are no official leech related T-Virus experiments
currently in operation, and there hasn’t been since the
removal of James Marcus’ authority over the virus 20
years ago. It’s true that Marcus conducted some illegal
research during his ten year exile but they should be
long gone by now since his death in 1988.
However, these reports are disturbing and Umbrella
decides to launch a formal investigation into the matter,
even conducting a study into the possible re-opening of
the facilities. William Birkin and Albert Wesker are
placed in charge of the project.
“The Management Training Facility has been abandoned since James
Marcus’ death in 1988. Umbrella undertook a project to reclaim the
facility and bring it back under operation. Supplies and human
resources were to be divided into two batches and sent in.
The leaders of the Reclamation Project were Albert Wesker and William
Birkin.”
- Transcription of Reclamation Project Notes.
However, this sudden shift in focus comes as an unwelcome
distraction to both men. Wesker is still trying to sort
out the disaster at the mansion and keep the S.T.A.R.S.
at bay, not to mention moving forward his own personal
plans and Birkin is striving to complete his work on the
successor to the T-Virus, the eagerly anticipated GVirus.
RE – ARCHIVES
The ‘leech’ like creatures that have been attacking
hikers are actually composed of countless leeches that
have merged together to imitate the late Dr. James
Marcus. The leeches themselves function as a collective
intelligence. They secrete an adhesive bodily fluid over
their cuticle in order to mould together. This coating
hardens as they fuse together.
When approached by an outsider, the leeches will break
their form and attack. It attacks with whip-like
appendages and attempts to grab its targets, covering
them with bodily fluid. This will infect the target with
the T-Virus if they get too close.
The Queen Leech is using these ‘Mimicry Marcus’ to guard
the Training Facility while it furthers its plans inside.

Facility.
TUESDAY JULY 7TH
The manager of the sewer network beneath Raccoon City
notices that Chief Irons has been making extra visits to
see Birkin recently. He wonders why, and feels sorry for
him as he knows first hand what a tough operator Birkin
can be.
“Chief Irons has been visiting the lab quite often lately. I don’t know
what he is doing over there, but he always looks grim. The expression
on his face has been even more unsettling than usual…My guess is
that it’s because of Dr Birkin’s impossible requests. The chief has my
sympathies, though. After all he’s done for the city, he doesn’t deserve
this.”

RE1 – SCRAPBOOK
Due to people still going missing in the Arklay
Mountains, the city authorities have decided to barricade
off the main road leading into the forest and have warned
the public not to venture into the foothills.
Despite previous orders from Umbrella to keep the
S.T.A.R.S. at bay, Albert Wesker now finds that his hands
are tied as it is publicly announced that the S.T.A.R.S.
have been officially assigned to the investigation into
the missing citizens.
However until Umbrella can come up with a contingency
plan, Wesker can stall the S.T.A.R.S. and keep them away
from the vicinity of the mansion due to the expansive
areas the Arklay Mountains covers.
“RACCOON TIMES, JULY 9TH 1998.
MYSTERY IN THE ARKLAY MOUNTAINS! MOUNTAIN ROAD BLOCKED.
Due to successive disasters in the Arklay Mountains, the city
authorities have decided to block the road leading into the foothills.
At the same time, police intend to begin the search for the lost
people with the help of S.T.A.R.S. team members.
They expect great difficulty because of the vast size of the Arklay
Mountains and the primeval forest that covers most of the area.
People are still reporting sightings of grotesque monsters in the
mountains.”

REUC – ECLIPTIC EXPRESS NOTES
Wesker also knows he has to get an investigation team
mobilised and sent to the Training Facility as soon as
possible.
With the mountain road entrances now cordoned off and
patrolled, the only viable way to gain access would be by
train. Umbrella does own a private track running through
the forest that ferries employees to and from Raccoon
City. Using the Ecliptic Express now seems like the only
option.
“A special express train bound for the Management Training Facility. It
appears to be a typical train at first glance, but its purpose is to
bring Umbrella employees to the facility to undergo special training.
The rails are privately owned and stretch through Raccoon Forest to
allow direct delivery of materials and human resources to various
Umbrella facilities.”
- Transcript of Ecliptic Express Notes
TUESDAY JULY 14TH
As the Reclamation Project gets under way, Wesker and
Birkin formulate their strategy and decide to split their
investigation into two teams. With Wesker busy fulfilling
his duties as S.T.A.R.S. Captain; it is left to William
Birkin to relay the orders.
First Investigation Team will be sent in first; with a
second team on standby should there be any unforeseen
circumstances.
They have been briefed that people have been going
missing near the site where the Training Facility is
located and that the T-Virus may be involved. The
investigation team have not been told anything about the
goings on at the nearby Spencer Estate.
“Orders came from the boss today. Looks like we’re in charge of
investigating the remains of the Arklay Mountains Laboratory. We’re
moving in two groups, with us in the initial group, assigned to start
checking what’s left of the abandoned experiment.”

WEDNESDAY JULY 15TH
Angelica Margaret uses the Sewer Facility once more.
THURSDAY JULY 16TH
Chief Irons has another meeting with Birkin.
Problems are increasing at the Dead Factory. The Manager
records how Birkin’s labs are sending in too many bodies
for them to process and handle. The liquid medicine used
to vaporise the bodies is not good enough.
The Manager has already reported the problems at the
factory to HQ, but they do not seem to care as it seems
they have bigger matters to attend to at the moment.
Despite evidence that trace T-Virus is leaking out, all
HQ have responded with is a weak vaccine containing
antibodies to neutralise the virus should anyone become
contaminated. All the workers at the factory have been
inoculated but the Manager fears that may not be enough.
“We can’t dispose of all the bodies and the quality of the liquid
medicine is not good enough, either…”
- Taken from Manager’s Diary; 16/07/98.
RE0 – PASSENGER’S DIARY
Because of the impending Training Facility investigation,
the workers tasked for the project have had to
temporarily suspend research on a new B.O.W. they have
been working on. The ‘Stinger’ or B.O.W. Type Y139 is
created by administering the T-Virus to a scorpion. It
reaches lengths of up to three metres, including its
pincers. Additionally, the virus has caused the
creature’s exoskeleton to harden. Its pincers in
particular are tough enough to cut through steel. The
increased thickness and strength of the creature’s
exoskeleton enables it to absorb damage from firearms.
However, this is the extent of the virus’ effects on the
creature, and thus so far it cannot be declared a viable
B.O.W.
Type Y-139 has a tough, armoured body but its head is
surprisingly vulnerable. This is its primary weakness,
and during actual combat it resorts to covering its head
with its claws. Furthermore, as a B.O.W., it should
secrete poison from its stinger, but it lacks that
ability. It only behaves like a scorpion when attacking
with its large pincers. Its other attack patterns are
slow and clumsy, consisting of charging the target and
stabbing with its tail. The Stinger falls short of what
was required from a mutated scorpion. However, the
researchers hope that there may be some research left at
the Training Facility that may assist them in their work
to overcome Type –Y139’s problems. With this in mind, the
test subject will be sealed up and transported to the
Training Facility with the First Investigation Team.
“Unfortunately, the test production of B.O.W. {Type-Y139} had to be
suspended because of this investigation. It’s the same with Type-Y139.
There’s still so much we don’t know about responses to the
crustacean T-Virus. There’s a lot of interesting research left. Depending
on the species and nurturing conditions, only minute does of T bring
about remarkable changes in solidity, size, manipulation of internal
toxins, and brain development. If these effects can be controlled, a
powerful weapon could be produced. But the sudden development of
the shell results in a corresponding fragility. Certain areas become
exceedingly weak. Problematically, one of these areas is the head
carapace. This lab we are going to, were they pursuing the same
research? It would certainly help to find data and samples that would
help us in our research.”
- Extract from Passenger’s Diary; 16/07/98.
JULY 17TH-19TH {CIRCA}
Local television, radio and newspapers are full of
reports about the increasing number of missing persons in
the forest.
SUNDAY JULY 19TH
With only days to go before First Investigation Team is
sent into Raccoon Forest, one of the workers wonders if
the T-Virus is indeed the cause of all the recent murders
and disappearances in the Arklay Mountains. If it is
true, then the consequences would be unthinkable. But he
has to put that train of thought out of his mind and
concentrate on what lies ahead.
“The day is finally approaching! I am growing more anxious. The
Raccoon City TV and newspapers are full of reports about the bizarre
murders in the suburbs. It can’t be the virus. Can it? If it is… No. I
cannot think of that now. I have to concentrate on this investigation
and make sure it goes smoothly.”

RE0 – FIRST INVESTIGATION UNIT NOTES
The First Investigation Team have arrived on site at the
Training Facility and begin to set about restoring
electrical power to certain sections and installing some
CCTV so they can relay their findings back to William
Birkin in Raccoon City.
So far, everything appears quiet and normal. There
doesn’t appear to be anything out of the ordinary and no
signs that anyone has been there recently.
However, somewhat disturbingly, there are a lot of
chemicals left exposed and lying around. This is a little
sloppy by Umbrella considering the place has been left
abandoned for the last ten years.
“We are searching the facilities, and it looks like a lot of chemicals
survived. Fortunately, the storage tanks are still all full.
We’ve just started and there’s still a lot we don’t know, but it appears
that the chemicals can be mixed to produce new substances.
The chemicals are scattered all about. Not because of the accident,
but more as a result of plain mismanagement. When we reopen the
facilities, we have to develop a system for dealing with these
chemicals.”

RE2 – SEWER MANAGER DIARY
Back in the Raccoon City underground, the Sewer Manager
enjoys a few rare drinks as he settles down for the night
shift and listens to the quiet hum of the motors and
generators around him.
“I rarely drink because I’m on the graveyard shift, but I don’t suppose
I have much to complain about since this is how I make my living.”
- Taken from Sewer Manager’s Diary; 21/07/98.
RE0 – INVESTIGATOR’S REPORT 1
The investigation team penetrate deeper into the Training
Facility and after searching the abandoned church by the
lake, they discover an elevator leading down into James
Marcus’s private chambers.
There the team find research papers detailing the truth
about Marcus which Ozwell Spencer and Umbrella have tried
to cover up for the last 20 years.
The team also finds the first signs of life when they
find nests of what appear to be mutated leeches lying
dormant in certain sections of the facility.
“Dr Marcus, co-founder, with President Spencer, of Umbrella
Corporation disappeared 20 years ago. The results of his research
have been kept under wraps for all that time.
The reason became clear here at the Training Facility run by Dr.
Marcus…well, not here exactly, but underground. When we ventured
below, we understood…
There we found evidence of Dr. Marcus’ research into the T-Virus
prototype called Progenitor. The evidence of years of hideous
experimentation that used company employees as guinea pigs. We
cannot know how many were forced to become subjects, but based on
the evidence, no less than twenty individuals were involved. Some of
them were taken deliberately to keep the corporation’s secret safe.
Where the doctor is now, I don’t know. But considering the rapid
growth of the Umbrella Corporation, I can’t imagine that the research
is continuing. No…his experiment lives and continues to grow in the
dark. Those things, the fruit of his research, they fill this facility.”
- Extract taken from Investigator’s Report 1; undated.
REUC – SEALED LETTER TO SERGEI VLADIMIR
That evening, many important Umbrella executives from
around the world including Colonel Sergei Vladimir and
Ozwell E. Spencer himself gather via satellite link to
hold an emergency meeting to deal with the situation at
the Arklay Labs.
Nothing has been heard from them for nearly three weeks
now and it is safe to assume that all the workers
stationed there are dead. The security team has been
wiped out and the mansion is exposed.
With some reluctance, the only conclusion everyone can
come to is the complete destruction of the whole
facility, including all the research and test B.O.W.S.
stored there.
Before they do this however, they will order Albert
Wesker to lure the S.T.A.R.S. teams into the mansion to
engage with the B.O.W. running loose so that accurate
combat data can be recorded for each subject, therefore
providing an accurate assessment on how effective they
are as potential weapons.
However, due to the very recent successes on Sheena
Island with the Tyrant Plant, the T-002 Tyrant is no
longer a useful weapon. The new, superior T-103 means the
Tyrant at Arklay Labs carries no value and so orders are
made for it to be disposed of, however, samples of all
the other B.O.W.s are still required.
The date is set for July 24th, and the operation will be
codenamed ‘X-Day’.
Immediately, following the conference, Spencer privately
ponders everything they have just talked about. He feels
he has been backed into a corner regarding the
destruction of the mansion and that all these incidents
regarding the Training Facility all point to something
much bigger going on than just an accident.
There is also one particular B.O.W. being developed at
Arklay that Spencer knows has so much potential. Despite,
the project being in its infancy, to lose it now would be
a huge setback and not to mention, extremely expensive.
With this in mind, he writes a letter to his trusted
servant Sergei Vladimir, whom resides at Umbrella’s base
in the Russian Caucasus. He needs him to come to Raccoon
City and infiltrate the mansion and extract the TALOS
project before X-Day is carried out. It seems that
Spencer is suspicious of Wesker’s true intentions and
because of this the only man he trusts to do the job is
Sergei.
{After we meet Sergei for the first time in Beginnings 2,
it is obvious he does not trust Wesker in the slightest,
it is likely Monitor has been building up a file on the
S.T.A.R.S. Commander.}
“Dear Colonel,
It has been so long since we last met. Has summer come to Russia
yet?
I realise it is sudden, but I have a request that only you can handle,
old friend.
You already know from the television conference the other day that a
response to the incident at Arklay has been ordered.
The mail calling for X Day procedure has already been sent. There are
stirrings behind closed doors calling for a ‘disposal’ of the entire
facility.
However, I just cannot help but feel it is a waste, what with our
guardian of Crete.
I apologise for having to make this request of you, but could you fly
over to Raccoon and recover the prototype for me?
There is cause for the urgency of this request. Hidden forces are at
work, trying to back me into a corner.
I suspect there is more to the virus outbreak and the other various
incidents than is suspected. The company has decided to destroy any
evidence implicating their involvement.
In the current circumstances, I fear that any correspondence sent by
traditional means would be monitored, and so I sealed this message.
Umbrella is embroiled in a dangerous situation and these are
dangerous times. This is when those who would take advantage of
such misfortune will begin to emerge.
You have always been our loyal cleaner, and the time where your
services are needed have come again.
Happy Hunting.”
- Evidence recovered from Sealed Letter to Sergei
Vladimir; undated, unsigned, but stamped with an old
seal.
RE5 – ALBERT WESKER FILE
It is also around this time that Spencer contacts William
Birkin and arranges for a special ‘experimental’ virus to
be delivered to him. The contents of the virus are
confidential but Birkin is given specific instructions to
make sure Wesker is given the virus before he leaves for
the ‘X-Day’ operation.
What Birkin doesn’t know, is that Spencer has made
arrangements for this virus to have been prepared and
delivered to close guardians of a select few of other
individuals all named Wesker across the globe. This is
all part of the ultra secretive ‘Project W’ and was the
second phase of the plan.
“All the Wesker Children would be administered an experimental virus.
This virus was administered to screen out the more gifted of the
Wesker children.
Some took the virus on the recommendation of a friend; others were
given the virus as part of their medical treatment; still others had it
forcibly administered to them.
Albert Wesker was not different. His partner, William Birkin, gave him
the experimental virus, and he administered it to himself.”

and Kevin Dooly are forced to make an emergency landing.
The helicopter is a wreck but all the team survive the
crash unharmed. Enrico orders them out to secure the area
whilst Kevin remains inside to try and repair some of the
damage.
Whilst scouting around the woods they find a wrecked MP
escort vehicle and the bodies of two military police
officers. As Enrico peers down for a closer look, there
is slime running down the side of the vehicle. Rookie
Rebecca finds a file on convict Billy Coen, who was on
his way to be executed. Edward concludes he must have
murdered the men and escaped. Enrico orders the team to
split up and look for him.
As they head off into different directions in the thick
forest, Rebecca finds the Ecliptic Express, standing
stationary on the railway tracks. She goes to investigate
alone as a heavy rain begins to fall.
RE0 – GAME
REUC – TRAIN DERAILMENT 1: INTRO
The train is eerily quiet and the only sound is that of
the rain pattering against the windows and roof. There
are bodies everywhere, none of them are moving. She calls
out for survivors but it is to no avail. There is a dead
leech on the floor and she pokes it around with a gun,
not noticing that a corpse has risen up behind her.
RE0 – GAME
The silence is broken by a radio belonging to one of the
passengers. A news report is being broadcast and as she
reaches down to switch it off; a zombie rises up from the
chair next to her. Whirling round, she comes face to face
with the stench of death. She tries to retreat but there
are two more behind her. Aiming her gun, she has no
choice but to shoot. It takes multiple shots to bring
them all down and Rebecca is left shaking, were they not
already dead?
Moving on up the train she investigates a couple of
passenger compartments and learns that the train belongs
to Umbrella Inc, and that the passengers onboard were
part of an investigation team en route to the Umbrella
Training Facility located deeper in the forest. But
whatever has happened to them, there doesn’t seem to be
anyone left alive.
Near the front of the train she finds the body of the
conductor, his throat has been torn out. As she is
checking the body, the convict, Billy Coen, sneaks up
behind her. He has an icy demeanour and is not happy to
see her, especially when he learns she is a STARS member.
He moves off and mocks her when she threatens to arrest
him.
After he has gone, Rebecca jumps in shock as one of the
windows suddenly caves in and a bloodied figure comes
crashing through. It is Edward Dewey, and he has been
badly wounded. He tries to compose himself but it seems
to be too late for him. He manages to tell her she needs
to be careful and that the forest is full of zombies and
monsters, then he dies in her arms. Not having any other
choice, Rebecca leaves his body and moves on back up the
train.
In the next carriage, there is no sign of Billy and
Enrico calls her on the radio. The signal is bad and he
asks where she is, it appears the rest of the team are
still outside in the storm. He warns her that they have
found papers in the wrecked MP truck that say Billy Coen
killed as many as 23 people. He warns her to stay alert
and that Coen wouldn’t think twice about killing her.
Then she loses the signal before she can give him her
location.
As Rebecca checks out the dining car, Billy sneaks up on
her and suggests they team up to escape as there are some
pretty freaked out things on the train. Rebecca scoffs at
the idea and moves on alone, heading up the stairs and
onto the second floor of the train.
At the top of the stairs all is quiet, Rebecca thinks she
has found a survivor, an old man sat alone at a table,
however, this turns out not to be the case as his head
falls off right in front of her. The body then dissolves
into hundreds of leeches and advance towards her in a bid
to consume her. It is only thanks to Billy who races up
the stairs to check on her do the leeches make a hasty
retreat.
As lighting flashes and thunder rages in the rainstorm
outside, Billy and Rebecca spot a mysterious figure
dressed in white robes stood on a hill. He is singing and
the leeches seem to be under his command.
Before they can act however, the train suddenly starts up
and moves down the track, leaving Rebecca stuck with
Billy and stranded from the rest of Bravo Team. In a bid
to find out who is driving the train, they make for the
driver’s compartment.
At the front of the Ecliptic Express, two Umbrella
Special Forces members codenamed Delta Team are in charge
of the train. One radios through to base, where William
Birkin and Albert Wesker are monitoring their progress.
They report they have gained control of the train and
Birkin cannot understand how the T-Virus was leaked,
contaminating both the mansion and a train that is almost
three miles away. Wesker says it is irrelevant and that
they must make sure no knowledge of this gets out. He
orders Delta Team to destroy the train but the soldiers
are killed by the leeches before they can respond.
Meanwhile, Rebecca and Billy fight their way back through
the train, including fighting a huge mutated scorpion and
find themselves in the driver’s cabin, it is now empty.
REUC – TRAIN DERAILMENT 2
As they recover from their ordeal and get their bearings,
Richard Aiken calls Rebecca on the radio asking where she
is. Rebecca replies she isn’t exactly sure, but she can
see an entrance to a building up ahead. Richard tells her
he is on his way through the forest to the Spencer
Mansion and she can meet up with him there.
As more zombies close in on them, they retreat into the
sewer and emerge into the Training Facility.

The place is an old relic and looks as though no one has

them, “Attention, this is Dr Marcus. Please be silent
whilst we reflect upon our company motto. Obedience

power, power is life.”
Back in Raccoon City, As Wesker and Birkin continue to
monitor their progress an unknown man hacks into their
signal claiming to be none other than James Marcus, who
had been murdered 10 years ago. He reveals that the
biohazard in the Spencer Lab was no accident, it was him.
He also confesses to contaminating the Ecliptic Express.
He burns with revenge on Umbrella. Wesker and Birkin are

ancient rooms, they discover evidence of the conspiracy
surrounding Dr Marcus and the origins of the T-Virus,
apparently it was created using leech DNA which may
explain why the leeches seem to be everywhere.
FRIDAY JULY 24TH
EARLY AM
REUC-BEGINNINGS 1
Now well into the middle of the night, Birkin is becoming
agitated as he watches Billy and Rebecca on the monitors.
He can’t deny the evidence any longer, now that the
resurrected Marcus has caused all this damage, the TVirus will inevitably leak into Raccoon Forest and could
be the start of a full-scale biohazard. Wesker says this
could mark the beginning of the end for Umbrella. Birkin
is furious and asks Wesker if he can really just walk
away from this, after all, their research isn’t complete.
Apparently though, he can.
RE0 – GAMEPLAY
Rebecca and Billy are becoming quite a team to help each
other to survive, so much so that when Enrico calls for a
mission update, Rebecca lies and says she has not yet
found Billy.
At the Raccoon City lab, Wesker and Birkin are pondering
over the mystery man’s claims. If it is somehow true and
Marcus is still alive, then Sir Spencer’s career will be
over, not to mention their too. Wesker decides it is time
to leave Umbrella for good. The T-Virus project is
completed and all they now need is live combat data.
Birkin is disgusted, refusing to comply until his G-virus
project is completed. Wesker shrugs, he will follow his
initial plan and lure the STARS members into the mansion,
their superior combat training making them perfect test
subjects. Birkin decides in the meantime he will get rid
of Marcus by finding and setting off the training
facility’s destruct system, that should also get rid of
any active T-Virus in the area and prevent further
infection.
REUC - VIRUS MEMO
RE5 – ALBERT WESKER FILE
Just before he leaves the lab, Birkin gives Wesker a
special prototype virus that was accidentally mutated
resulting in some very special properties. However, there
is no guarantee it would work and so Birkin urges him
only to use it as a last resort. However, this is all
part of Ozwell E. Spencer’s grand plan to see if Albert
Wesker is worthy of moving onto the next stage of
‘Project W.’
“We go way back so I hope you forgive me cutting the formalities. I
don’t have much time. I must describe how to use the item in
question.
The sample you have been given is from one of the mutation stocks.
It possesses a unique characteristic.
It should be injected into the host at least 5 minutes before needed.
The results are almost immediate, but they do require a few minutes
to completely take effect.
Even in death, as long as some portion of the host remains, the virus
can reconstruct the rest and bring it back to life.
During this process, there is a brief period where the host appears for
all intents and purposes, dead.
In experiments with animals, 70% of the subjects grew more powerful
as a result of this resurrection. Their muscular and circulatory systems
far exceeded those they possessed in life.
This virus has been designed to conquer death. 20% came back to
life, but with none of the beneficial side effects present in the primary
group. The remaining 10% remained dead.
In other words, there was a 90% revival rate. The virus has not been
used on a human yet, but that is soon to change.
I’m not sure how this will help, but I’m sure you will put it to good
use!
Good luck.”

RE0 - GAME
Eventually Rebecca and Billy make their way outside the
training facility and across a huge lake to a church,
underneath which houses Marcus’ lab and private chambers.
Searching inside they discover more evidence of the
heinous crimes the doctor was involved in.
Eventually, Billy finds a cable car that apparently leads
back towards Raccoon City. After radioing Rebecca, they
meet up at the station. However, before they can leave
they are ambushed by an Eliminator and Billy is knocked
over the side railing, forcing Rebecca to carry on alone.
Rebecca rides an underground cable car back towards the
outskirts of Raccoon City, where she bumps into Enrico.
He says the other Bravo’s have found a mansion in the
forest which Umbrella uses for research and he is heading
to rendezvous with them there. He wants Rebecca to join
him but she wants to find Billy. He reluctantly lets her
go. Although just minutes after he has gone, Rebecca is
ambushed by a prototype Tyrant that has escaped. Because
it is not yet 100% operational, she is able to take it
down.
Rebecca takes a lift to an underground water treatment
plant. Marcus watches her on camera and decides she no
longer amuses him.
REUC – BEGINNINGS 1
After leaving the Raccoon Lab, Wesker contacts Birkin via
radio to tell him he is going to return to the training
facility before departing. He wants to get a first hand
look at the carnage Marcus has been causing before
concluding whether they have to scrap the reclamation
project.
RE0 – GAME
Whilst exploring the water treatment facility, she finds
Billy, washed up in the sewerage water and barely alive.
They move on, and eventually encounter Marcus. When he
attacks them however, the queen leech inside of him
breaks his mould and mutates.
After a tense fire fight, they manage to knock it down
and escape.
REO – GAME: DAWN
Wesker meanwhile, has made his way through the training
facility and has deemed the facility a total loss, he
then relays this to Birkin over the radio.
William Birkin activates the self destruct sequence at
the water treatment facility which is also wired up to
the training facility in Raccoon Forest. The Queen Leech
is still not dead and pursues Rebecca and Billy up a
freight elevator shaft as they make a bid to reach the
surface.
REUC – BEGINNINGS 1 INTRO
With the self destruct counting down, Wesker decides to
make his escape and plans to exit via the train tunnel
where the wreck of the Ecliptic Express still lies.
Something he didn’t plan for however, was encountering
Sergei Vladimir by the wreck of the train. He is with one
of his enhanced T-103 ‘Ivan’ bodyguards and is in town to
recover the TALOS prototype from the mansion before it is
destroyed. He asks Wesker where he thinks he is going,
the calm STARS commander replies he is moving onto his
next mission. Sergei taunts him that the reclamation
project was his mission, and he has failed. Is he going
to walk away without taking any responsibility for this
failure? Wesker still remains calm and simply replies
that the T-Virus is leaked and that the training facility
will blow up in order to dispose of it. Sergei continues
to taunt him, suggesting that maybe he needs a little
reminder of just who is in charge. He sets his Ivan
bodyguard on Wesker.
RE0 – GAMEPLAY
Once Rebecca and Billy reach the surface level, they find
the queen is pervious to daylight and so they open the
roof up to destroy it. They then run out into the forest
as the whole facility begins to explode behind them.
Wesker manages to weaken Ivan, when the facility suddenly
explodes above them, knocking Sergei back and giving
Wesker an opportunity to make his escape. Sergei does not
seem to be bothered as they have the TALOS retrieval to
take care of.
RE0 – EPILOGUE
Rebecca and Billy emerge back into Raccoon Forest. They
rest on the top of a hill. Below, they can see the
Spencer Mansion, remote and ominous looking. Rebecca
officially declares Billy Coen dead and they part, taking
his dog tags. He watches her head towards the mansion to
meet up with her team, and then he turns and vanishes
into the woods.
REUC-BEGINNINGS 2 EPILOGUE
Wesker emerges into the morning air and follows the rail
tracks back to Raccoon City.
“My pursuers left behind. I rendezvoused with the STARS Alpha Team;
there was no time for delays. Umbrella’s command structure was in
motion, and the real struggle was about to begin…”
- Transcribed from Beginnings 2 Epilogue
REUC – NIGHTMARE 1 INTRO
Rebecca makes it to the Spencer Mansion to rendezvous
with the rest of Bravo Team. However, she cannot find
anybody and the mansion is eerily quiet. She goes to the
guardhouse and rests on the bed in one of the
dormitories. She soon falls into a deep sleep.
REUC-UMF 013 NOTES
The 13th-generation supercomputer U.M.F.-13 contained
within Birkin’s new lab in Raccoon City officially goes
live connected to the Red Queen AI system.
“The 13th generation supercomputer contained in the underground
Raccoon City research facility shelter. All of the data gathered from
the network of Umbrella’s branches around the world is stored as
backup on this mainframe.
This wealth of information is kept in one location to serve as a safety
measure should Umbrella run into difficulty and need to be reestablished.” - Taken from UMF. -013 Notes.
REUC – DARK LEGACY 2
REUC – RED QUEEN NOTES
Umbrella’s new state or the art artificial intelligence
defence system Red Queen goes online.
“The codename for the AI defence system developed by Umbrella. The
AI is contained within UMF 13 yet it has unrestricted access to the
entire Umbrella network for administration, monitoring and carrying out
certain procedures. This additional functuality is a failsafe, but in most
circumstances, Red Queen is in the background performing only its
primary monitoring function. In emergencies, it will serve a more active
role and protect sensitive systems and data from intrusion along with
cleaning up hostiles. It is self-aware and can take these measures
based on its own judgement.”
- Transcribed from Red Queen Notes
RE1 – MANUAL: DAY
The remaining members of STARS Alpha Team arrive in
Raccoon City late in the day.
REMAKE-GAME
Contact has been lost with Bravo Team for nearly 24 hours
now and Wesker has been given authorisation to take in
Alpha Team to search and locate the Bravos and bring them
home safe.
STARS ALPHA TEAM:
Albert Wesker – Commander. Team leader.
Barry Burton – Weapons specialist
Chris Redfield – Marksman
Jill Valentine – Machinist
Joseph Frost – Vehicle specialist
Brad Vickers – Pilot
Brad Vickers preps the helicopter and they take off at
dusk, heading away from the city lights and towards the
forbidding Raccoon Forest, the source of all the recent
murders and disappearances.
REMAKE – INTRO
Alpha Team are focusing on the areas shortly before they
lost contact with Bravos chopper. After a few initial
sweeps, it is Jill who spots the ominous sight of the
wreckage. It confirms their fears that the helicopter has
indeed crashed. They land nearby.
Aware that they are now in the danger zone, Brad keeps
the engine hot whilst the others step out into the warm,
summer night, weapons primed. The chopper however,
appears to be deserted, indicating that the team survived
the crash. Joseph steps into the wrecked cabin. He has a
shoulder-mounted cam to record everything. The interior
is a wreck and what is more suspicious is that the Bravo
Team appeared to have left the scene without most of
their equipment and the heavier weapons. Looking closer,
Joseph finds bloodstains and when he peers into the
cockpit he makes a gruesome discovery. Kevin Dooly, the
Bravo Team’s pilot. He lies dead in his chair, his face
mutilated and one of his eyes scratched out. Joseph jumps
away in disgust.
Wesker orders his men to fan out and search the
surrounding area. The forest is eerily quiet and there is
no sound of any local wildlife.
Suddenly, Joseph is attacked by a pack of Cerberus dogs,
and Jill can only watch in terror as they tear the STARS
member apart. Chris grabs Jill and the dogs give chase.
Thanks to covering fire from Barry and Wesker, they
manage to get away.
But Brad loses his nerve in the helicopter and takes off
without them. They have no choice but to run for a
strange house in the distance. But Chris is lost
somewhere outside.
Jill, Barry and Wesker sag into the main hall of a grand
mansion. Jill wants to go back outside for Chris but
Wesker tells her it would only end in her death.
They hear a sudden gunshot and Wesker sends the two
Alphas to investigate whilst he secures the main hall.
REMAKE – JILL GAME
Jill and Barry enter the next room which turns out to be
a magnificent dining room with a grand oak table
stretching across the room. It is uninhabited, yet a fire
burns fiercely in the grate at the far end. As Barry
makes his way over, Jill peers out of the windows,
suddenly put on her guard by a rumble of thunder. Barry
calls her over, he has found something. There is a pool
of blood by the fire, it is fresh. Barry hopes it doesn’t
belong to Chris or one of the Bravo’s. He wants to
investigate further and asks Jill to check out the other
door in the room. It leads into a corridor with a few
doors, all are locked. She turns back and heads to the
other end of the corridor and round the corner.
There is something there. A man appears hunched over a
fallen figure. Jill isn’t sure what is happening at
first, until the figure takes a huge bite out of the
other’s neck. Jill reels in horror as she realises the
dead person is Kenneth Sullivan from the Bravo Team. The
figure turns towards Jill, blood dripping from its mouth.
She cannot comprehend what is happening as she staggers
backwards, the thing lunging at her with decaying arms.
As lightning flashes through the window, she fumbles for
the door handle and stumbles back into the dining room.
She screams at Barry about a monster and he whirls at the
sound of her voice. Raising his colt, he pumps three .365
rounds into the thing, the zombie, and it collapses to
the cold, marble floor.
Barry wonders just what the hell it is and Jill tells him
the creature has killed Kenneth. Before doing anything
else they decide to report back to Wesker. Before they
leave however, they hear the sound of a closing door and
notice the thing’s body has disappeared.
Back in the main hall, lightning flashes, the storm must
be over them now and to make the joke even worse, Captain
Wesker is nowhere to be seen.
Jill and Barry call out to him but there is no answer.
Jill has a quick check up the stairs but it is empty.
There is no evidence lying around for what could have
happened to him. It seems the STARS team is being picked
off one by one and now only two of them are left.
They decide to split up to look for him. Barry will check
the dining room again and Jill will try the door on the
opposite side. They agree to meet back in the main hall
if anything happens. Warning each other to be careful,
they reluctantly go their separate ways.
Whilst exploring the eastern wing of the house, Jill
enters a bathroom, where she is horrified to find a
zombie in the bathtub. It lunges for her, falling onto
the floor where she repeatedly stamps on its head. She is
then sick in the toilet.
REUC – NIGHTMARE 1
Rebecca is still fast asleep in the guardhouse having a
horrible nightmare about the Yawn. She is awoken by
Richard Aiken, who is investigating the guardhouse. He is
glad to see her though she doesn’t say anything about
Billy. She tells him Edward is dead. Richard replies that
things are not much better on his end either. The rest of
Bravo Team is either in hiding or they are already dead.
They decide to head back to the mansion to see if they
can find Enrico.
Moving on through the eastern wing, Jill checks the next
room where she falls victim to one of the mansion’s
infamous traps. She is in a small reception room, where a
fine antique shotgun hangs on the wall. It is loaded and
in working order, so she takes it, unknowingly triggering
a mechanism on the wall. However, when she leaves the
room, the door locks behind her and the ceiling begins to
lower. Finding the other door locked also, she begins to
panic, calling out for help.
Meanwhile, for some unknown reason, Barry happens to be
in the corridor outside and can hear her screams. He
comes to her aid, blowing the door open with his colt.
The ceiling is almost on top of her and he manages to
drag her out just in time. She is thankful, yet wonders
why Barry is here when he was supposed to be
investigating the west wing. He says he just had
something he wanted to check. He tells her they must get
back to looking for Wesker and Chris and they split up
once more.
REMAKE – INFERRED EVENTS
Meanwhile, outside the mansion in the thunderstorm, Chris
Redfield has managed to evade and survive the Cerberus
dogs. He manages to get into the mansion via a back door.
Having come back to the mansion, Richard and Rebecca are
on the second floor of the main hall, when they notice
something out of the main windows. Two unknown figures
appear to be leaving the mansion and heading out into the
forest. This is Sergei Vladimir and his bodyguard Ivan.
They have retrieved the TALOS prototype, as per Spencer’s
orders. As they reach the forest, they are attacked by a
pack of Cerberus dogs, which Ivan calmly dispatches.
REMAKE – CHRIS GAME
After coming across some zombies and realising the house
is no safer inside than out, he begins to search for his
comrades and finds a note from Wesker pinned up against
the wall. He has left some ammo in an adjacent room and
has gone on ahead to look for a way out. So someone else
is alive at least.
Jill meanwhile, has moved upstairs and has emerged onto
the second floor balcony. Barry is here, and is startled
to see her. He shows her what he has found and points to
the corpse of Bravo Team’s marksman, Forest Spyer. He
appears to have been dead for a while and looks like he
has been pecked to death by crows. Jill can’t believe it
and is beginning to wonder if the whole team has been
wiped out. Barry takes Forest’s grenade launcher and
hands it to Jill before they split up once again.
Richard and Rebecca are on the second floor western
terrace when they are suddenly attacked by a swarm of
crows. Richard fires a few rounds into the air to
frighten them off. Rebecca is very upset, and now
believes they are the only ones left alive, they still
can’t find Enrico. Richard tries to cheer her up when
without warning; they are ambushed by the Yawn, a huge
snake mutated by the T-Virus. Together they manage to
fend it off and retreat, though the snake relentlessly
pursues its prey throughout the Western Wing of the
house.
Eventually, they come to the library, where all seems
quiet until the yawn finds them once more. Richard saves
Rebecca only to be caught in the snake’s jaws himself.
Rebecca manages to wound it badly enough for it to drop
Richard and slide off out of sight. Richard is still
alive though his right arm is covered in bites and it
looks like he has been poisoned. They get up and move to
look for help but Richard is too weak and they collapse
in a corridor on the East Wing of the mansion.
Meanwhile, Chris has found a key and managed to unlock a
few doors around the mansion. He has dispatched a few
undead, but his ammo is low. However, on the second
floor, he finds two survivors, rookie medic Rebecca
Chambers and communications expert Richard Aiken, both
members of Bravo Team. Richard is badly wounded however,
and appears to have been bitten by a poisonous snake. He
is delirious and warns Chris to get his team out of the
mansion before it’s too late. Rebecca says that there is
an infirmary on the first floor where there is some
serum. Chris hurries to get it. Five minutes later he is
back and Rebecca administers it to Richard. He gives
Chris his radio before his eyes close…But he is ok,
Rebecca says he is just unconscious. They decide to move
him to a safer place.
They reach the first floor infirmary where Richard lies
asleep on the bed. Rebecca stays with him whilst Chris
moves on to search for the others.
Meanwhile, Jill and Barry find a file that begins to
offer some brief clues as to what has happened here.
There appears to have been an accident with some sort of
virus, although there appears someone has been trying to
destroy evidence. Barry goes on ahead; he seems to be
acting suspiciously.
Meanwhile, low on ammo, Chris returns to the infirmary
where Rebecca patches up his wounds. Richard is still
sleeping. Rebecca plays a grand piano in the bar which
unlocks a secret passage revealing some clues about the
mansion’s dark past. Apparently, the former owners were
not too happy about people finding out their secrets.
Jill finds the key to the mansion attic where she is
attacked by a giant mutated snake. However, a recuperated
Richard arrives to aid her with his assault shotgun.
Together they manage to fend it off.
Chris meanwhile has reached a crypt in the garden where a
zombie elder slumbers. After defeating it he finds an
emblem in its coffin which releases the lock at the back
door.
After leaving the main grounds he receives a garbled
radio message from Wesker. He cannot make much of it out
but there is a warning to keep out of the woods outside
the mansion, too late.
Jill too has gone through the back door and takes shelter
in a small cabin and is surprised to find a warm fire
burning in the grate. Suddenly, the door opens and she
whirls round. Something monstrous appears out of the
shadows; a hideously deformed creature with a hunched
back bound in shackles. It is Lisa Trevor; she has been a
test subject here for over 30 years and has been
wandering around the grounds since the accident. She
knocks Jill unconscious.
Meanwhile, Chris has reached the Guardhouse. It too also
houses zombies. He finds a lot of research papers
indicating the scientists here were very interested in
the STARS. He finds a secret passageway down to a flooded
aquarium. Richard is there waiting for him. But the aqua
ring is not empty and they are attacked by sharks.
Richard sacrifices his life to save Chris from a huge
mutated great white named Neptune.
Chris manages to escape and he and Rebecca encounter and
destroy Plant 42. He then runs into Wesker, who is
startled to see him alive. He says he got separated from
Jill and the others. He orders Chris to go back to the
mansion and try to find a way to get into the locked
rooms they haven’t checked yet, while he searches the
rest of the guardhouse.
Wesker meanwhile, has released the MA-121 hunters from
their cages and they know prowl the mansion, unbeknownst
to the other survivors.
On his way back up to the mansion, Chris receives a call
on the radio from Brad. It seems he is still above in the
helicopter circling the estate for them. The radio is
broken however and Chris cannot reply to his message.
Meanwhile, Jill has regained consciousnesses and finds
herself at the mercy of the abdominal Lisa Trevor. She
manages to escape her grasp and flee into the garden. In
the main courtyard she discovers a secret tunnel behind
the waterfall which gives access to an underground
network of tunnels.
It is down here that she comes across wounded Bravo Team
leader Enrico Marini. She cannot believe he is still
alive yet he is wary of her. He tells her of a traitor
amongst the STARS and that they have been set up by
Umbrella. Jill thinks it could be Barry, as both she and
Wesker have noticed he has been acting strange all night.
Enrico however, strongly suspects Chris. However, before
they can do anything Enrico is shot and killed by an
unseen assassin. Jill immediately takes off after her
assailant, and runs into Barry. He claims he heard
someone’s voice in the tunnels. Together, they power up
and ride the elevator to the lower levels of the
catacombs. At the bottom, they hear a ghostly moan. Barry
tells Jill to go on ahead while he secures the elevator.
Jill runs into Lisa Trevor but manages to evade her. Upon
returning to Barry however, he abandons her and rides the
elevator up on his own, leaving her stranded.
Meanwhile Chris has returned to the mansion on Wesker’s
orders only to find it infested with a new type of
creature. The hunters are extremely dangerous reptilian
creatures, capable of decapitating a human with their
sharp claws.
He can hear screaming, it sounds like Rebecca and he
wonders if she is upstairs. He races to the second floor
and finds her fending off a hunter in the library. As it
corners her, Chris kills it with his shotgun. Rebecca is
shaken but thankful. Chris tells her to use her better
judgment and to stay out of sight whilst he goes on
ahead. They have to find the others.
Rebecca stays behind whilst Chris returns to the main
hall, having found the two emblems that unlock the door
beneath the stairs. Venturing down into the bowels of the
mansion he hears gunshots. Climbing down a ladder he
emerges in a huge tomb and finds Captain Wesker embodied
in combat with a huge creature, the mutated Lisa Trevor.
Wesker slaps home a fresh clip and invites Chris to help
him out.
Together they drive the creature away by opening up the
stone sarcophagus in the centre of the room. It ignores
the two STARS officers and takes the skull of the
occupant inside the tomb and then kills itself by hurling
off the edge of the chasm. Wesker reloads and tells Chris
to go on ahead whilst he checks out the area a little
further.

REUC – MANSION INCIDENT 3
Meanwhile, Jill has also stumbled across the labs. Using
three MO discs, she finds Chris locked up in a cell but
she can’t get him out. He tells her Wesker is the
traitor. She runs into Barry, who apologises for leaving
her and together they take the elevator down to the main
experiment room. As they enter, Wesker is waiting for
them. Hiding behind one of the cultivation tanks, he
injects himself with the mutated virus Birkin gave him
the previous night. As Wesker steps out to Jill it seems
her suspicions about Barry are confirmed when he suddenly
holds her at gunpoint. After it is revealed that Wesker
has been with Umbrella all along and that STARS have been
set up for this whole incident, Wesker orders Barry to go
to the heliport and later mocks Jill that the threat on
Barry’s family was just a bluff. Wesker shows Jill the
Tyrant, before attempting to shoot her but Barry is in
their first and puts two rounds into Wesker’s shoulder.
He apologises to Jill after learning that Wesker’s threat
over his family was just a bluff. Semi-conscious, Wesker
unleashes the tyrant before Barry can stop him.
The Tyrant turns on Wesker and spears him through the
chest, tossing his lifeless body aside; it turns upon
Jill and Barry. The Tyrant wounds Barry, knocking him
out, leaving Jill to take it on alone.
After a brief battle, the monster is felled. They decide
to make their escape and head back up the elevator. After
freeing Chris from the cells they find Rebecca, who says
she has been tracking Chris since she saw him in the
garden. She tells them that with all the BOW running
loose and T-Virus infection, they should blow the labs
up. As the others head for the surface, Rebecca heads to
the lab to activate the triggering system.
REUC – REBIRTH 1
Albert Wesker opens his eyes, he is alive. Taking off his
shades he stands up, blood running from multiple wounds
over his body, yet he feels no pain. The virus is
working. Looking round, he see’s the Tyrant is on the
floor, apparently dead and that someone has set off the
self-destruct system. He needs to change his plan and
secure his escape. Moving to the computer, he attempts to
download all the combat data on the BOW but finds that
due to the emergency conditions, all the data has been
backed up to the mainframe system UMF-13. When he tries
to access the mainframe he finds his access privileges
have been revoked thanks to Umbrella’s new AI; Red Queen.
Wesker concludes this must be the work of Sergei Vladimir
after their unpleasant meeting at the training facility
the night before. Now the plan has definitely changed, he
had better secure his escape, and then he would deal with
Umbrella later.
In order not to run into Chris and the others who have
likely gone to the helicopter landing pad, Wesker elects
to take a route back through to the mansion and walk
straight out the front door.
REMAKE: JILL GAME
REMAKE: CHRIS GAME
As the countdown to destruction continues, Jill receives
transmissions over the radio from Brad, he is running out
of fuel and that this is their last chance to give him a
signal. They quicken the pace. Barry and Rebecca stand
guard to lay covering fire as Chris and Jill ride up the
elevator to the helipad to signal the helicopter.
REUC – REBIRTH 2
Back in the mansion, Wesker encounters Lisa Trevor
blocking his exit. She is somehow still alive despite him
and Chris filling her with bullets some hours earlier.
They stand off in the main hall before Wesker eventually
shoots down the great chandelier above which comes
crashing down on her, allowing him to get out the front
door.
REMAKE: DAWN
The others manage to reach the helipad where they use a
flare to signal Brad in the helicopter but as he tries to
land the tyrant is back for one last battle. Brad drops a
rocket launcher down and Chris uses it to blow the
creature to hell. They then board and escape as the
mansion and labs go up behind them.
REUC – REBIRTH 2: EPILOGUE
Wesker uses his new found strength to sprint away through
the forest as the mansion goes up in flames behind him.
REUC-TRAIN DERAILMENT 3: EPILOGUE
After the incident, Billy Coen disappears and is never
heard from again and Rebecca will later report him dead.
RE2EX-JILL’S REPORT
Upon arriving back at the RPD, Jill immediately makes a
report on the evidence they managed to recover from the
mansion.
“July 24th 1998

The following documents were obtained at a sanatorium owned by
Umbrella Corp.:
‘Umbrella Bio-Organic-Weapon Publicity Material’
Dev. Code: MA-39 Cerberus
Dev. Code: MA-121 Hunter
Dev. Code: Fi-3 Neptune
Dev. Code: T-002 Tyrant
In addition to the above, it is believed that several other B.O.W. were
created by means of accidental infection.
During the course of the tests, it was discovered that the contagion is
not limited to human beings, and may pose a hazardous risk to plant
and animal life forms.
Effective means of controlling this contagion have yet to be found.

have become almost intolerable as they cannot cope with
the amount of bodies coming in. Some workers have been
infected with the T-Virus, prompting the manager to start
carrying a gun.
“Although the function of the system decreases, the number of bodies
we have to dispose of doesn’t. The infection level has increased, and
the antibodies we’re using are no match for the new mutation of the
virus. Some of the workers have been infected with the disease. I have
continued to work, but I always keep a gun with me. I must remember
to save one bullet for myself. I want to weep. I don’t want to die here.
I swear I’ll lose my mind if I imagine how painful the death will be…”

WESKER’S REPORT
WESKER’S REPORT 2
ADA’S REPORT
Although assumed dead by both Umbrella and everyone else,
Albert Wesker joins ‘The Organisation’, a clandestine
agency and rival to Umbrella. He uses the combat data he
gathered in the Tyrant-002’s battle against the
S.T.A.R.S. members in the Arklay Labs as a way for him to
gain membership.
There, he meets a spy named Ada Wong, a female of
American-Asian origin who has spied on Umbrella in the
past. She got close to former Chief Researcher John of
the Arklay Labs and because of her relationship with him,
gained full access to the facilities. She may even have
been present there after the recent accident occurred.
John, believing her to have genuine feelings for him,
wanted her to expose Umbrella and the accident to the
public, but she had very different ideas.
Wesker writes her a detailed report explaining his
history with Umbrella and the origins of William Birkin’s
G-Virus project.
The Organisation want Wesker to get a sample of this new
prototype virus and so he joins forces with Ada in order
to do so.

NEMESIS REPORT
The inability to control the Tyrant 002 during the
Mansion Incident alerted Umbrella’s bio weapons research
team that improvements needed to be made. The European
office, under direct orders from Umbrella Headquarters,
came up with a brand new project designed to correct
previous mistakes and improve on existing strong points.
“As the American branch under Birkin successfully improved and
created a better Tyrant, the T-002 model, which can follow simple
orders easily, the European research team had created a test product
parasite, the ‘NE-Alpha.’”
- Taken from Nemesis Report; undated.
In the Number 6 Laboratory, they begin research on a
project they hoped would turn every other Tyrant idea on
its ear. This was a continuation of the Nemesis Project
which first began over ten years ago with the idea of
using organic parasites to give researchers a greater
amount of control over the weapon and to increase
intelligence. Their goal now was not to improve the
Tyrant, but to create a whole new life form that could be
injected into it, increasing it its intelligence far
beyond what was thought possible.
With the latest Tyrant model; the T-103 now running off
the assembly line on Sheena Island under the supervision
of Commander Vincent Goldman, progress on the Nemesis
Project can be undertaken much, much faster than
previously.

REOUT1 - RESEARCHER’S DIARY
Despite the stories of the surviving S.T.A.R.S. members
being met with extreme scrutiny, William Birkin decides
to take no chances whilst the public spotlight is on
Umbrella. With this in mind, all regular access to the
main labs beneath Raccoon City have been blocked off, and
the only entry point now are hidden routes throughout the
city’s sewer network.
A researcher transferred to Birkin’s lab complains about
the network of sewers underground that is used to filter
workers in and out of in secret.
“Damn Umbrella…I understand the need to choose a location few
people would investigate, but why the hell choose the sewers! Birkin
and that pig of a chief! I am a normal man.
I don’t wanna trudge through such filth. Not even for 5 minutes. I
won’t go to the laboratory until they provide me with a boat.
I finally got a boat…but it doesn’t handle so well in narrow channels.
Oh well though…it’s much better than walking.”

RES-REPORT ON DESTROYED RACCOON CITY
In the two weeks since the destruction of the Spencer
Estate, Umbrella’s clean-up crews have been coming over
the debris with a fine tooth comb to see if viral strains
remain. There have been no signs of any B.O.W. surviving
the explosion though it is highly unlikely that any that
escaped into the forest prior to the accident will all be
caught. The explosion wiped out every trace of research
and nothing was salvageable, though thanks to Colonel
Sergei Vladimir, all essential data was backed up to
Umbrella’s mainframe situated in William Birkin’s
laboratory.
Also, despite an extensive search throughout the remains,
the body of Umbrella researcher and S.T.A.R.S. leader
Albert Wesker had so far not yet been found, despite the
survivors of the incident reporting him as being killed
on site by the B.O.W.
Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Force Commander
Nicholai Ginoveaf writes a report to Umbrella detailing
the aftermath of the mansion incident.
“Date: August 5th, 1998
Report from U.B.C.S. member.
Part 1.
The biohazard that occurred at Lord Spencer’s mansion and biochemical factory ended on July 25th when members of the STARS
teams destroyed the entire facility.
As of 05/08/98, there are no signs of viral leakage in the surrounding
area. However; we must continue to monitor the area with extreme
caution.
Our secret operative Albert Wesker, is MIA and is presumed dead.
However, we have received information that Jill Valentine and Chris
Redfield are preparing to report the incident to the press and their
police chief.
I request this matter to be addressed with the utmost urgency.

RES-FACTORY WORKER’S DIARY
A worker at the Tyrant Plant Factory on Sheena Island
despairs over his job of having to cut into the skulls of
children to extract brain material.
Even though the work he is doing is extremely significant
in that it will enable Umbrella to incorporate a system
to mass produce Tyrants, both for military use and
further experimentation to create new models such as the
new T-103 and it is because of the work being done at
Sheena Island’s Tyrant Plant that this model came to be,
and in such a number that Sergei Vladimir had two reengineered to act as his personal bodyguards.
The worker just wishes there was a way he could carry out
his work without having to feel so guilty about things.
“August 5th, 1998
I can’t stand it anymore! I have to take the subjects to the operating
table sever their skulls to extract a part of their brain. I do this over
and over; day after day…It is awful. Guilt stays with me all the time,
even after I go to bed.
Commander Vincent instructs us…’Do not see them as humans. They
are just raw materials we use to create Tyrants with.’ But it is we who
cut their skulls. I can never consider them as just raw materials. They
are humans just like we are.
I asked Commander Vincent about ways to reduce their suffering, but
he ignored my request, saying that by using anaesthetics, pure Beta
Herero Nonserotonin cannot be extracted. Even if it is the company’s
orders, I don’t believe what we are doing is ethical…I’m sure I’ll be
sent to the worst possible place when I die.
Or perhaps I should say, I’m already there…”

RE2EX – CHRIS’S REPORT
RE2EX – REBECCA’S REPORT
Back in the S.T.A.R.S. office at the RPD, Chris sits at
his desk and types up his official report into what
happened at the Spencer Mansion on July 24th. The office
feels like such an empty place now, so much so, that
Jill, Barry, Chris and Rebecca each now have their own
desk.
After he finishes typing, he goes to see Chief Irons and
submits it to his office.
Rebecca is also present and has her own account of what
happened to Bravo Team prior to Alpha Team’s arrival.
Keeping her promise to Billy, Rebecca lies and declares
him dead, killed by the Cerberus that were roaming the
forest and mauled so badly his body cannot be identified.
Hopefully now, she believes the authorities will stop
looking for him and he can finally be free.
“Dear Chief
Below is my account of what led up to the explosion of the mansion:
On July 23rd, S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team, led by Captain Marini, went to
investigate the bizarre homicides that occurred in the Arklay
Mountains. After contact with the team's chopper was lost, S.T.A.R.S.
Alpha team, lead by Captain Wesker went in.
We found the remains of Bravo team's helicopter on the ground. After
landing we were immediately attacked by bloodthirsty dogs. We later
discovered that these dogs were actually zombie dogs as they did not
even feel our gunfire.
After Joseph Frost was killed, we were forced to retreat to a nearby
mansion.
After further investigating the mansion, we learned that it was actually
a secret laboratory of Umbrella Inc.
All researchers were turned into zombies by some type of unknown
virus. We also discovered that Umbrella was using that lab as a
testing area for new Bio Organic Weapons.
We found the dead bodies of some of the Bravo team members
including Enrico Marini, Kenneth Sullivan, Forest Speyer, and Richard
Aiken. We believe that those Bio Organic Weapons caused their
deaths.
After that we discovered that Captain Wesker was actually working with
Umbrella and that both Alpha and Bravo teams were being used as
live test subjects for the Bio Organic Weapons. Wesker had betrayed
us!
We barely managed to survive that nightmare. However, since the
mansion exploded, there is no evidence to support our claims of
Umbrella's secret lab or the Bio Organic Weapons.
The zombie phenomenon that has been occurring in the city is
extremely similar to the zombies we saw at the mansion. We suspect
that Umbrella is somehow linked to all this.
In order to solve this mystery and put an end to the zombies that are
roaming the city, I propose we launch a formal investigation into
Umbrella.
Thank you for your attention to this extremely important matter.
Chris Redfield
S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team.”
- Taken from Chris’ Report; undated.
Rebecca Chambers also submits her report and declares
Billy Coen as dead to stop the authorities from looking
for him.
“On July 23rd, an MP vehicle was found inside the Arklay Mountains.
Corpses of MP members and an unidentified body were found near
the vehicle.
According to the information from military authorities, the unidentified
body was identified as former ensign Billy Coen, who was sentenced
the death penalty following a court-martial on July 22nd. While Coen
was on transfer via Navy MP escort, they must have experienced some
kind of accident.
The corpses were severely mauled, apparently torn apart by
unidentified wild animals.
The following day we returned to the location to recover the bodies
but they were nowhere to be found.
Military authorities have requested that we turn over Coen's body as
proof of his death. But due to the circumstances described above, it
will be a difficult task to recover the corpse.
I am requesting that this case be temporarily closed until further
notice.

“August 8th
I spoke to the chief again today, but he refused to listen to me. I
know for certain that Umbrella conducted T-Virus research in that
mansion. Anyone who’s infected turns into a zombie. But the entire
mansion went up in the explosion, along with any incriminating
evidence. Since Umbrella employs so many people in the city, no one
is willing to talk about the incident. It looks like I’m running out of
options.”

focus will be on Umbrella’s other facilities in Raccoon
City.
“To: Mr. Brian Irons.
Chief of the Raccoon City Police Department
We have lost the mansion lab facility due to the renegade operative
Albert Wesker. Fortunately, his interference will have no lasting effect
upon our continued virus research. Our only present concern is the
presence of the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members: Redfield, Valentine,
Burton, Chambers and Vickers. If it comes to light that S.T.A.R.S. has
obtained any evidence of our research, dispose of them in a way that
would appear purely accidental. Continue to monitor their progress,

continue to be your contact throughout this affair.

RE5 – REPORT ON PROJECT W
RE5 – ALBERT WESKER PROFILE
Following Wesker’s demise at the Spencer Estate, Ozwell
E. Spencer requests an update on ‘Project W’ from the
Information Department. The project is at a standstill as
Albert Wesker was one of the most feasible candidates for
success. Since no one at Umbrella knows that Wesker is
still alive, the project will have to look at already
failed candidates in order to stay on track, although the
‘experimental virus’ administered to all the Wesker
subjects resulted in many of them dying.
However, since Albert Wesker’s body was never recovered,
Spencer believes he will see him again.
“It has been confirmed that the accident at the Raccoon City Arklay
Research Facility was due to the involvement of Project W test subject
No. 013 (hereafter referred to as Albert). His death in the accident has
made obtaining any further information an impossibility. (Albert's death
was confirmed by the Information Department.)
Albert's death puts the current success rate of Project W down to 18
percent.
The quota of qualified individuals for the project has been drastically
reduced and must be addressed immediately. This poses a grave
situation for any progress that can hope to be made in the project.
Since there is no roster of qualified individuals to replace the recent
losses, it would be advisable to start selecting individuals from the
pool of failed candidates.
After this, adjustments can be made that will restore up to 93 percent
of the quota prior to Albert's death.
Umbrella Information Department
Alex W.”
- Extract from Report on Project W; 18/08/98
“The screening process turned out to be a little too selective.
Most of the Wesker children died, leaving only a few survivors. Albert
Wesker was one of those survivors and he disappeared shortly after.
Spencer was unconcerned by this development. There was a failsafe
attached to every Wesker – Spencer’s existence.
This was the discomfort Albert had felt throughout his life. All Wesker
children were programmed to seek Spencer out, which manifested itself
as a growing anxiety within each of the subjects.”

REDA – DISMISSAL NOTE
After completing its initial investigations into the May
11th biohazard, Umbrella decides to place the blame onto
eccentric researcher Morpheus D. Duvall, a former member
of Raccoon’s Research and Development division. He is
terminated from his contract with the company and leaves
his position At Umbrella’s B.O.W. Waste Disposal Facility
situated on an island in the middle of the Atlantic. He
is livid and swears revenge. It is presumed that the
Atlantic Facility and the Benthic Laboratory complex
housed there are also closed and the remaining staff
relocated. The facility has never really recovered since
an accident which resulted in an experimental B.O.W.
named ‘Pluto’ escaping and running riot in the facility,
causing a mini-biohazard and killing several employees.
Since that incident, Umbrella had been looking to rid
themselves of Duvall, now they have that opportunity by
making him the official scapegoat for the mansion
incident.

An umbrella scientist named Peter Jenkins working at
Raccoon University reveals he has been working on a
reagent named ‘Daylight’ which suppresses T-virus
infection is at its final stage. He has been working with
an ex-researcher named Greg, who filled him in on all
Umbrellas’ dirty activities. It appears Greg had been
working on a new model Tyrant named ‘Thanatos’. However,
upon completion, his research was taken from him.
Embittered, he set out to create a vaccine for the TVirus with the sole hope of destroying its value as a
weapon and therefore crippling Umbrella itself. Greg does
not tell Peter about his work on the Tyrant though as he
would never agree to help him otherwise.
“August 30th- reagent creation is at its final stage. When it is
completed we will finally have a means to stop that wretched T-Virus.
I heard about Umbrella’s heinous dealings from an ex-head researcher
named Greg. I wouldn’t have been able to create this reagent without
his expertise and assistance. Using viral research for personal gain is
unforgivable. We named this reagent ‘Daylight’. You don’t need an
Umbrella in the daylight. I find the name quite suits the reagent,
considering its main purpose.”

RE – DEG
RE – ARCHIVES
Sometime in early September, though no exact date is ever
revealed, William Birkin completes his research on the
groundbreaking G-Virus, the natural successor to the TVirus created by James Marcus all those years ago.
However, Birkin begins to suspect that once he officially
announces the completion, Umbrella may take the virus off
him and remove him from the project like they have done
to countless other researchers down the years. Birkin
also believes the virus may earn him a ticket onto
Umbrella’s executive board but no offer seems
forthcoming.
With this in mind, he begins to make discreet enquiries
with the US military in the hope of coming to a possible
arrangement.
To make matters worse, researcher Fredrick Downing, who
presumable works in Birkin’s lab, steals samples of both
the T and G viruses and flees Raccoon City, apparently
unnoticed.
REOUT – NEWSPAPER
Bizarre deaths and strange disappearances are still
occurring throughout Raccoon City. This prompts the RPD
to set up a special investigation to help ease the
worries of citizens.
“DAYLIGHT SLAYING? CLOUDS LOOM OVER RACCOON CITY
The RPD announced it will set up a special joint investigation HQ for a
serial murder case in which already over 30 murders have already
occurred.
While there is no connection between suspects, the methods in which
the victims were slain were all similar.
Ordering a joint investigation into the serial murders was the rational
thing to do. The scale and detail of the investigation has not yet been
made public.
The authorities have been avoiding announcing any details of the
cases. They are sticking with that stance to prevent any copycat
crimes from occurring.
Rumour has it that a certain member of the press has obtained some
information: The suspect was temporarily insane at the time of the
incident.
Authorities continued to take a “no comment” stance on the factuality
of these rumours. The case seems quite problematic.”
- Taken from Newspaper; undated.
RE – ARCHIVES
Minute strains of T-Virus that have been leaking from the
Dead Factory are beginning to infect some of the
habitants that live underground beneath Raccoon City.
A large arthropod living under the ground in the city has
become infected with T-Virus that has seeped into the
ground and caused it to undergo huge, sudden, mutations.
The waste products of the underground Umbrella Laboratory
has been too much for the facility to handle, and has
spread out underneath the ground, causing many areas to
become infected. This caused part of the arthropods
crawling around underneath the ground to encounter some
infected bodies that had been buried near the facility,
and they themselves became infected upon ingesting some
of their remains.
One of the mutations that resulted from that was the
Grave Digger.
These creatures primarily inhabit the underground of the
Raccoon City graveyard, feasting on dead flesh and acting
extremely hostile to any humans they encounter. Their
worm-like bodies number up to 10 metres in length, and
their powerful jaws, capable of crunching up concrete
like it was candy, along with their amazing digestive
systems allow them to swallow an adult human whole. When
hunting prey, they sense their distance from underneath

NEMESIS REPORT
Work continues on the ‘Nemesis’ using the T-103 model as
a base.
“The ‘NE-Alpha’ was tested on the BOW ‘Hunter’ and again countless
experiments were made. To better demonstrate the result, the
European team imported many new Tyrants, the ‘T-103’ model.
At this time, the parasite had gone through many modifications, and
this was implanted into a Tyrant and was called the ‘Nemesis T.’”
- Extract taken from Nemesis Report; undated.
The NE-Alpha parasite was injected into a T-103’s spinal
cord on the cellular level, whereupon it began to feed on
the T-Virus and used it to spread throughout the Tyrant’s
entire system. After finishing the formation of its
unique brain, the creature then began to make changes on
its host’s entire nervous system. This way, Tyrant’s
entire thought process would be left in the hands of the
Nemesis, and it’s actions could be controlled completely
from the outside.
“The Nemesis parasite was implanted into the spine of a Tyrant. In
this case, the parasite catalyses the T-Virus cells in the body and the
result is an invasion of the brain by a new bunch of cells, gaining
control of its cerebrum.
Nemesis will form a second ‘brain’ behind the original one, taking over
the jobs of the former brain. The organs will be under the control of
the Nemesis. Its healing ability and speed will be greatly enhanced by
the Nemesis. As time passes, the Nemesis will take over control of the
main and former brain too.”
- Extracted from Nemesis Report; undated.
The Nemesis T-Type is the result of injecting a massproduced Tyrant with Nemesis, creating a new type of
B.O.W. that would carry out orders faithfully and
precisely. Furthermore, its improved intelligence allowed
it to make its own decisions without the need for
constant direction, and to operate complex weapons that
would have been impossible before. Finally, to protect it
from bullets and explosions, and to provide a fail-safe
if it went out of control for any reason, it was wrapped
in a specially made long overcoat before it was sent off
to fight.
“The Europe branch research team developed 4 Nemesis T models.
One of the Nemesis' maintained the capability of independent thought
during a stage of development, and attempted to break free. Although
the Nemesis was based on the
Tyrant-T103, the great results of the parasite shocked the developers
themselves.
The Nemesis was destroyed, and the rest of the Nemesis' got their
intelligence "restricted".”

REGS – AN IMPRISONED BOY’S DIARY
A young boy who last month was abducted by Umbrella
agents in the Democratic Republic of Congo writes down
his experiences since being brought to the company owned
Sheena Island.
Although essentially a prisoner, the boy and others like
him are allowed to spend time at various places
throughout the small city housed on the island; a cinema,
a nightclub, an arcade and a library amongst other
things. The boy also notes how every single person on the
island is connected to Umbrella in some capacity.
Despite the company seemingly caring about his wellbeing,
he knows he is still being held captive and cannot leave
the island. He doesn’t even know where in the world the
island is.
“September 5th
16 days have passed since I was abducted on a street in Congo by
the men in black, and was brought here. I didn’t understand what was
happening at first, but I gradually became aware of the truth of this
city.
We seem to have been confined here to serve as guinea pigs for a
medical company called Umbrella Inc.
All the residents of this city work for Umbrella, even the women and
children are family members of employees.
The guinea pigs seem to have been gathered from around the world.
The guy in the next room is from China, the one in front of my cell is
from Brazil. The rest are Russian, Japanese…It’s like a world trade
show. It’s strange that they are all around my age. The youngest is
16, and the oldest is 19 or 20.
Those guys from Umbrella sometimes take us to an arcade or to a
night club so we can enjoy ourselves and relieve our stress, but I
won’t let them deceive me. I will escape from this place, no matter
what it takes! I must…
Anyway, the most important thing to do now is to organise and gather
our comrades for what lies ahead.”

make plans to play a game as soon as possible.
“I recently talked to the old man who works in the scrap yard out

enjoy chess. He even went so far as to design a special key and lock
engraved with chess pieces for one of the doors in the disposal yard.
We made plans to play chess tomorrow night. I can’t help but wonder
how good he is. One thing that’s been bothering me about him,
though, is the way he’s always scratching himself. Does he have some

Vincent Goldman. Goldman has been stationed on the island
for several months now and has made great strides in
advancing the Tyrant programme, so much so, that the
latest Tyrant model, the T-103, is currently being massproduced at the factory on the edge of the city. It is
thanks to these advances, that Goldman has been promoted
to Commander of the city. But although Andy has never met
him, Goldman has a very cold reputation and is not a man
you want to get on the wrong side of.
“I’ve never seen him, but I heard that one called Vincent has become
the city’s supreme commander. Officially, he is an elite sent by
Umbrella Headquarters. In truth, he is such a fiend he would not
hesitate to kill his friend if it would promote him. Well, since I live
here in this dark sewer, it doesn’t mean anything to me…”

beginning to make headlines.
“September 6th, 1998.
A ghost? Sightings of a mysterious masked figure in the NW Arklay
woods are on the rise.
The bloody remains of crows and wild dogs have also been showing
up near river banks in the area. The whole region has been swept up
in the hysteria and a mood of fear and paranoia is prevalent.

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH
At the Hunter development plant, titanium frames and a
new automatic locking system have been put in place to
prevent any further breakouts.
“A titanium frame has been installed to reinforce the cultivation tanks.
In the unlikely event of another breakage, the doors are set
automatically to isolate the threat.
Once the lock is set, it will only open when the sensors indicate that
the life form in question is dead. This ensures that any dangerous life
forms are contained within that room with no chance of escape.
There are two ways to open the lock. If the life form sensor is not
deactivated, the door will remain locked until the creature dies. Short
of an unlikely suicide, this method is unreliable.”

Old man Thomas thrashes the RPD Night Watchman in their

Thomas’ work and its proximity to the underground sewers,
he is slowly succumbing to the leaking T-Virus that is
ever so slowly spreading from the Dead Factory. His
metabolism is speeding up and his appetite is ravenous.
“Thomas is a much better player than I imagined. I used to think of
myself as a fairly decent player, but he did a pretty good job of
humbling me. About the only thing I imagine could match his skills in
chess is his appetite. All the guy did was talk about food throughout
the entire game. He sounded fairly healthy, but he didn’t look quite

eating mice and rats that have been exposed to the TVirus. When attacking, they have a tendency to bite onto
the softest parts of the prey’s body. For humans, they go
straight for the carotid artery. The roach’s natural
durability has only been enhanced by the virus, and their
numbers have been shooting up because of it.
Fleas that ate the flesh of animals infected with the
virus become creatures known as ‘Drain Deimos.’ The virus
causes them to grow to hundreds of times their original
size, about as big as an average human. Their appearance
is particularly grotesque even for monsters, with their
exoskeletons in pieces and their inner organs and muscles
appearing in odd and unnatural places, due to their
extremely quick growth.
Drain Deimos get their nutrition from the cerebrospinal
fluid of humans. True to their nature as fleas, they
procure this fluid by sinking their fangs into their prey
and sucking it out. After eating their fill, the males
will suddenly turn into females and lay eggs, beginning
the cycle of self-reproduction.
They generally like to stay in places that are dark and
damp, and they move about by crawling on top of walls and
ceilings. They tend to be very cautious, so it’s unusual
for them to attack suddenly. When they get excited,
though, they attack head on with little regard for the
consequences, using their claws and fangs against their
prey.
RE – ARCHIVES
Another mutant that appearing since the major viral spill
on the 22nd is the ‘Brain Sucker’, a mutant that has a
strong resemblance to the Drain Deimos. It has two heads
and an almost reptilian body, as if two separate
creatures had been fused together into some strange new
creation. Like the Drain Deimos, the Brain Sucker was a
flea before its mutation, but must have been feeding on a
different kind of animal that became infected by the
virus.
Upon spotting prey, the Brain Sucker destroys the head of
the target and then inserts both of its tongues into the
remains. It is surprisingly dexterous at opening up
skulls to get to their contents. Brain Suckers also have
toxic venom they can spit at their prey from a distance.
Both Brain Suckers and Drain Deimos lay eggs to
reproduce. When these eggs hatch, they produce what seem
to be merely smaller versions of themselves, allowing
them to propagate at frightening speeds.

REOUT1-GUEST MEMO 3
A resident staying in the Apple Inn cannot sleep because
of a strange light decoration that has been installed in
his room.
“It’s true I’m the one who specifically requested to stay in this room
since it was where my late wife and I used to stay. It used to be a
peaceful place where I could do some writing while remembering my
lovely wife.
However there is a new hotel owner and he put some strange map up
as a decoration. The cursed thing is flickering on and off and keeping
me from concentrating. I was hesitant to complain since they gave me
a big discount on my stay, but my patience has worn out. I’m going
to leave and find a more appropriate hotel in the morning.”

WESKER’S REPORT 1
Wesker sees the impeding outbreak as an ideal opportunity
to infiltrate Umbrella’s main labs beneath the city and
steal a sample of the G-Virus. He is aware however that
STARS members and police still lurk in the vicinity and
so is forced to continue his ‘dead man’ role and stay in
the shadows. Ada will be sent into the field, acting
under Wesker’s orders. She slips into the city unnoticed.
RE – ARCHIVES
The two fully-grown Grave Diggers have laid eggs in the
sewers and inside the ground, often in bunches of 100.
Under these infected conditions, these eggs soon hatch,
often in 2 hours, and the resulting creature is known as
the Sliding Worm. These larvae are another kind of
irregular mutant and usually grow to about one metre in
length, and possess sharp fangs and an elastic, flexible
body. These creatures thrive on blood, and when they spot
prey they will leap toward it with amazing jumping power,
and suck away on the blood like a leech.
After being born, they will shed their skin many times in
the course of their development. In the span of one week,
they will be a fully-formed Grave Digger.

RPD officer Marvin Brannagh files a report that a jeweldecorated clock at the main gate of Raccoon City’s
municipal building was damaged before dawn and two of the
twelve gems were stolen. However, because all the RPD
officers are dealing with a backlog of cases that have
been mounting up over the last few weeks, the job has to
be temporarily suspended.
“There are reports of a theft in the municipal building before dawn. A
jewel-decorated clock at the main gate was damaged. Two of twelve
gems that are installed on the face of the clock are missing.
Due to the lack of available officers at this time, I have no choice but
to suspend the research of this case.

Chief Irons succeeds in his plan to spread confusion and
disarray amongst the police. All escape routes have been
cut off and he ensures that no help will arrive from the
outside when the impeding zombie invasion occurs.
“I was successful in spreading confusion among the police as planned.
I’ve made sure that no one from the outside will come to help. With
the delays in police actions, no one will have a chance to escape my
city alive. I’ve seen to it personally that all escape routes from inside
the precinct have been cut off as well. There are still several survivors
still attempting to escape through the lower levels, but I’ll make sure
no one gets out.”

Zombies begin to sporadically show up throughout Raccoon
City, though not significant enough in number as of yet
for the whole city to become aware of them.
THE RACCOON CITY INCIDENT: 25TH SEP-1ST OCT 1998
RE2-OPERATION REPORT 1
Chief Irons continues his plan by presumably murdering
the officer who is in charge of the weapons storage {we
know he suddenly goes ‘missing.’} and makes his way down
to the RPD basement. Making sure no one is watching, he
enters the weapons storage and relocates most of the guns
and ammo to scattered locations across the police
station, making it difficult for the officers to mobilise
and respond to any emergencies.
REOUT1-INVESTIGATION REQUEST
Umbrella staff located in the lab beneath Raccoon
Hospital have caught some strange leeches that have
nested in the sewer routes leading to Birkin’s labs. They
want the leeches examined to make sure there is no repeat
of the James Marcus incident earlier in the year and so
bring samples back to the hospital to be analysed.
These leeches will soon infest the hospital and kill most
of the remaining staff.
“Can you investigate the leeches captured around the sewers? They
seem to be different from those previously logged in our records. I
assume they are a variant of the virus but I can’t verify it here.
They seem to be different from the leeches Mr. Marcus was involved
with. There is a gigantic one that they failed to capture. It is estimated
to be more than 1 metre long.
They discovered that the leeches are vulnerable to high heat. Please
be careful when examining the leeches.”

RE – ARCHIVES
As the T-Virus ravages the city, the some of the many
legions of zombies roaming the streets are further
mutated by the virus and become ‘Lickers.’
Changes from normal zombies to Lickers involve the brain
expanding and becoming visible, and their skin
deteriorating and peeling to expose their deformed muscle
structure. This new muscle structure allows them to do
things normal zombies can’t. They can jump great heights
and distances, and move more quickly. Their warped bone
structure makes it easiest to move around by crawling on
all fours, and allowing them to climb across walls and
ceilings. Upon spotting a target, a Licker stands up on
its rear legs and enters its attack position.
Lickers have lost use of their eyes entirely and can’t
track their prey by sight. But their super-developed
hearing more than compensates for the loss. When they
detect the slightest sound emitted from their prey, they
attack full on with teeth, claws, and tongue, all without
making a single sound.
The Licker’s first appearance during the Raccoon City
Outbreak is in the Apple Inn on the night of the 25th,
though it is when they begin appearing in the police
station on the 27th do they earn the name ‘Licker’ from
the surviving officers due to their lance-like tongues.
Before his death, William Birkin and his staff had been
working on an evolved form of the Licker in the Raccoon
City underground laboratory. It’s bigger and tougher, and
its claws are larger and sharper. It is also a different
colour to the regular Licker.
REOUT1 – OUTBREAK
DUSK
After a long, hard day at work, seven members of Raccoon
City’s populace are chilling out at J’s bar in the centre
of town. They are RPD Officer Kevin Ryman, Security Guard
Mark Wilkins and his colleague Bob, subway worker Jim
Chapman, journalist Alyssa Ashcroft, plumber David King
and Doctor George Hamilton.
Kevin is watching a news report about a football match
earlier in the day, Alyssa is typing up reports on her
laptop. Mark is concerned about his colleague Bob, who
hasn’t eaten anything. He doesn’t look so good.
Suddenly, a skinny Japanese girl named Yoko Suzuki comes
rushing in and begins to frantically cut her hair in the
toilets and one of the bar’s waitresses, Cindy Lennox,
screams and drops a glass as a rat runs across the floor.
A few minutes later, someone drunkenly staggers into the
bar. The bartender named Will goes over to help but the
drunken man is actually a zombie and he is bitten. A
struggle breaks out as Will frantically pushes him out of
the bar and locks the door.
The people inside the bar panic as more zombies appear at
the window and begin to lean on the door, eventually
managing to force the door open. The undead surge into
the bar, and dive on Will, who is paralysed with fear and
devour him.
The others scatter, some including Cindy and Jim escape
out of the door before Kevin, an off-duty cop who has
failed the STARS selection process twice, takes out his
gun and shoots the zombie. Mark Wilkins frantically
barricades the door with some barrels. David assists Bob,
an injured colleague of Mark’s.
As the zombies battle through the barrier, the four of
them escape upstairs. They find a nail gun and barricade
the doorway. They manage to fight their way to the roof
where they are attacked by infected crows. Bob succumbs
to the T-Virus and collapses. Mark reluctantly puts a
bullet in him.
Kevin kicks down a weak section of the safety fence and
they jump across to the next building, a vacant apartment
block.
Meanwhile, an RPD squad car arrives in the main street.
Officer Raymond announces on his speaker for everyone to
assemble at his checkpoint as the area is being evacuated
due to ongoing riots.
In the apartment they find a working elevator and take it
down to the street where the police are fighting back the
zombies.
Mark and Kevin roll a police car forward to make yet
another barricade while Raymond blasts through a gate
with a shotgun for an escape route. They don’t get far
however when they are ambushed. They spot a fuel truck
nearby, but Raymond is killed. Kevin releases the fuel
and blows up the zombies. Driven back by the heat, Kevin,
Mark and David are forced to jump into the canal and into
the sewers.
Surprisingly however, the sewers are clear and they
emerge at the other side on the main street outside the
Apple Inn. Injured survivors are gathered here waiting
for evacuation. They are picked up by Dorian and he
prepares to drive them back to the RPD.
REOUT2-EVACUATION ORDER
Whilst stumbling around in the streets, Cindy Lennox and
Jim Chapman come across an evacuation note from the RPD
stating that evacuation helicopters will be scrambled to
locations throughout the city. The nearest one to their
present location will be at the tram terminal at the
front gate of Raccoon Zoo. They decide to make their way
there.
REOUT1 – HELLFIRE: INTRO
Meanwhile, George, Yoko and Alyssa managed to escape out
of the bar before the zombies gathered outside and took
shelter inside the nearby Apple Inn hotel. As they enter
the courtyard, a pair of firemen are investigating the
inn’s boiler room when they suddenly realise it is going
to explode. The firemen do not make it out in time as the
whole boiler explodes, setting the hotel ablaze.
REOUT1 – HELLFIRE: GAME
As they battle through the thick smoke and flames, they
are attacked by zombies and creatures called Lickers,
including a rare type named Regis which has nested in the
main lobby, blocking their escape.
Eventually they manage to kill it and look on in relief
as rescue workers arrive and bash the door in for them to
escape.
The firemen tell them that the whole city is burning.
REOUT1 – OUTBREAK: GAME
Meanwhile, the police van ferrying the J’s bar survivors
doesn’t make it to the RPD as there are too many
barricades blocking the roads. They have to get out and
continue on foot near the Raccoon Mall. Some of the
survivors are too weak and frightened to move and stay at
the van with the cop. Kevin, Mark and David tool up on
weapons and continue on alone.
However, just as they are crossing the main bridge they
see thousands upon thousands of zombies; all struggling
to get over a barrier where three desperate policemen are
trying to set up a bomb. The zombies break through and
two of the cops Edward and Elliot are killed. The third
cop, Harry, panics and retreats. Kevin leaps into the
fray and activates the detonator, blowing the zombie army
to hell in a spectacular explosion.
Eventually, the RPD arrive in force and cordon off the
whole area. The survivors are taken back to the police
station after meeting up with those from the Apple Inn.
REOUT2 – WILD THINGS: INTRO
On the outskirts of Raccoon Zoo, the streets are riddled
with animal corpses. Some killed by zombies, others
killed by something

zombies feeding off
form of a zombified
more dangerous. At the centre of one
lies the carcass of a rhinoceros with
it when they are attacked by the huge
elephant from the zoo named Oscar.

REOUT2-WILD THINGS: GAME
Cindy Lennox and Jim Chapman have reached Raccoon Zoo’s
rear gate. It looks ominous, with some unnerving sounds
coming form within, clearly the animals have become
infected also. The gate is padlocked but the code is
written on the other side enabling them to unlock the
door and enter, Jim commenting that its unlikely there
will be any ‘hotties’ waiting for him inside.
The zoo is deserted, not even a single zombie walking
round. However, they don’t get far when a distant
rumbling suddenly becomes louder until Titan bashes
through the back gate, completely destroying it in a
thunderous charge. Jim is thrown back and looks for Cindy
but her lifeless body lies on the floor, crushed to
death. Jim takes off, running as fast as he can.
Eventually he reaches the sanctuary of the office but
Titan is still after him and the beast attacks the
windows with its trunk, pulling out a hapless survivor.
Jim moves on, battling zombie hyenas and flying bugs past
the Elephant Stage and through the Terrarium Dome. He
also has to swim his way through a pond containing a
deadly crocodile before he reaches the Observation Deck.
From in there he can see the sub station where the rescue
chopper is due to land and in one of the cupboards is a
powerful hunting rifle.
Despite the tragic loss of Cindy, Jim eventually reaches
the front gate plaza but there is a surprise waiting for
him in the form of a male zombie lion named Stalker.
Fortunately, Jim is able to kill it with his rifle. But
there is no sign of any rescue helicopter. Dejected, Jim
has nothing else to do but board the streetcar alone and
head into town.

RE3 – REPORTER’S MEMO
The army have been called in to counteract the ongoing
crisis in Raccoon City. A cover story has been put in
place that a large volume of nuclear waste has leaked out
of the city. The city is completely sealed off.
RE2EX-REPORTER’S NOTE
“As I write this, my hands shake with anger and fear. The civilians of
this town have been blockaded by the military. And though I sigh for
the survivors of the town, I still feel that it’s the best decision. They
cannot take the chance of the disease spreading any further. I am
going to make it my top priority to discover what has caused this
incredibly dangerous incident.”

“The military has set up blockades around the city to keep people
from escaping or spreading the disease. Most of the citizens have
either died or have come into contact with the disease. I know that it
is the right decision to quarantine the city, but I can’t help but pity
myself. If I am infected or eaten, it doesn’t matter. My fate is already
sealed. All I have left is my journalism. I won’t give up until I solve the
mystery of this deadly disease. I have just discovered that the disease
is not spread through the air, but by some other means.”

The RPD is attacked by a large wave of zombies and the
police struggle to fight back as the attack was

wasn’t contained within the district of ‘J’s bar as was
originally thought. Many officers, staff and civilians
are killed and the communications are destroyed.

least 10 people. The researcher himself has been badly
injured also. All he can do now if destroy the lab
temperature controls. Once the temperature reaches zero
degrees the Hunters should be frozen in their tracks,
it’s the only way to stop them. The researcher curses his
foolishness and denotes that they had no right to play
God.
“Oh I can’t believe this…
Three days have passed since a couple of subjects {MA-125R} who
escaped from B area began a killing spree in the laboratory…
I think at least 10 of my colleagues have been killed by them…
However, I got to experience the horror, first hand, as one of their
giant, sharp claws ripped through my body! The bleeding from the
wound just doesn’t seem to stop…
Why…
Why did we create such terrible things!? We had no right to play god.
The only thing left for me to do now is to destroy the laboratory
temperature controls…
When the temperature drops down to about zero degrees, they would
be frozen in their tracks…hopefully, this is about the only thing I can
do now. Damn my foolishness!”

The RPD launch an operation to rescue any survivors and
halt the spread of the virus outside of Raccoon City. The
first priority is to secure all the weapon caches
scattered across the station and find the missing officer
with the card key to the weapons storage, where a large
quantity of guns still remain.
“We have decided to carry out an operation with the intent of
rescuing any possible survivors as well as prevent this disaster from
spreading beyond Raccoon City. The details of this operation are as
follows:
Security of armaments and ammunition.
Chief Irons has voiced concern regarding the issue of terrorism due to
a series of recent unresolved incidents. On the very day before the
zombies’ attack, he made the decision to relocate all weapons to
scattered intervals throughout the building as a temporary measure to
prevent their possible seizure.
Unfortunately, this decision made it extremely difficult for us to locate
all ammunition caches.
It has become our top priority to recover these scattered munitions.
To unlock the weapon storage.
As stated earlier, it will be extremely difficult to secure all the
ammunition. However, a considerable supply still remains in the
underground weapon storage.
Unfortunately, the person in charge of the card key used to access
the weapon storage is missing and we have been unable to locate the
key.
One of the breakers went down during the battle and the electronic
locks are not functioning in certain areas.
It has become top priority to restore the power room and secure
those locks.

During a battle against the increasing number of zombie
patients, most of the doctors and staff are killed. The
Director also knows it is too late for him as he is
infected.
“We lost most of the doctors and staff during a battle against the
zombie patients. It’s impossible to maintain the hospital under these

he turns to the one place he recognises; the comforting
darkness of the Raccoon City underground.
REOUT2 – UNDERBELLY: GAME
Because he works down here, Jim knows his way around the
underground and he has an employee key that allows him
access to restricted areas. There are a few zombies down
here but the biggest threat comes in the form of the Giga
Bite a huge insect like creature that spawns off smaller
versions of itself. Using his first hand knowledge, Jim
manages to evade it and escapes via an underground
emergency exit, perfecting a route on foot than escaping
via another train. AT least now he can get back to the

One of the few surviving staff at Raccoon Hospital notes
how the place has been overrun by leeches after they had

together to form one big creature.
“We should have disposed of that nasty crap much earlier. It got
Robert’s body as well, even though I sealed it up in an airtight bag.
The ammo in the spare gun we keep here for security ran out. Hell,
bullets didn’t even dent it! What in the hell am I gonna do now?
The bite wound from that thing just won’t clot. I’ve lost so much blood
that I feel nauseous and dizzy. Wherever I go or hide, that damn thing
is always on my heels.
It just moves so incredibly fast. Come to think of it, in the beginning it
was a lot slower…It’s a predator…and I think the smell of blood is
exciting it.
I’m…done…for…I’ll…be…the…next…”

Chief Irons, now clearly on the edge of his sanity,
decides to venture out of his office to shoot any
survivors he comes across.
“I’ve had a change of heart about the remaining survivors inside the
precinct. I’ve decided to hunt them down myself.
I shot Ed in the back through the heart less than an hour ago. I
watched him writhe in pain upon the floor in a pool of his own blood.
The expression on his face was positively exquisite. He died with his
eyes wide open, staring up at me. It was beautiful. I wonder if the
mayor’s daughter is still alive? I let her escape so I could enjoy
hunting her down later…I’m going to enjoy my new trophy. Yes, frozen
forever in the pose I choose to give her.”

REOUT1 – THE HIVE: INTRO
NIGHT
After scattering from the chaos in the police station,
George leads Yoko and Alyssa to the Raccoon Hospital,
believing it to be safe. Unfortunately, the place is soon
surrounded by zombies. One of the few surviving doctors
named Hursh explains that the hospital isn’t as safe as
it may appear. The power has gone down.
REOUT1 – THE HIVE: GAME
They follow Hursh into the next room where he tries to
fix the power and after doing so, he is attacked by a
leech-zombie, last seen at the Umbrella Training Facility
in Raccoon Forest some months ago. It kills Hursh coldly
and seems to be attracted to the sight of blood. Their
weapons have no effect on the leech man and it stalks
them through the hospital and George uses blood packs to
throw it off their scent.
The bowels of the hospital house a secret Umbrella lab
where they find an investigation request by an Umbrella
official which states that the leeches seem to be coming
from the sewer and even though they are a variant of the
T-Virus they seem different to the ones James Marcus was
associated with. They lure the leech into the heat
intensifying room and pump up the temperature, killing
the leech and leaving behind the body of its unfortunate
victim.
With the hospital surrounded, they decide to leave
through the sewer network. Yoko knows a route through the
sewers to William Birkin’s underground lab complex and
perhaps they can make their way there and escape. Sure
enough, they find a boat used to ferry hospital
researchers to and from the lab, tied up on the dock and
waiting for them.
Once they set off however, they encounter the source of
all the leeches, the queen, nested up ahead and blocking
their path. She destroys their boat and they manage to
kill it by shooting overhead pipes dousing it in hot
water then luring it alongside and blowing up a gas tank.
Barely alive, Yoko begins to lead them slowly onwards
through the waist-deep filth towards the laboratory.

U.B.C.S. teams are deployed throughout Raccoon City with
a mission to rescue any civilians. However, the mission
goes badly from the minute they land.
“Order for UBCS Echo Team:
Wipe out the downtown area of the infestation and then evacuate the
remaining citizens to the clock tower. Among the civilians, remember
to give priority to Umbrella’s affiliates. Remember to stay alert because
the infected have a high endurance rate and will strike without
hesitation.
Evacuation procedure:
1. Once the mission is complete, or when it becomes too
impossible to accomplish, evacuate immediately.
2. We’ll deploy a helicopter that is waiting in the suburbs, to the
yard in front of the clock tower.
3. When you are ready for evacuation, ring the bell of the clock
tower to signal the helicopter.”

“It’s been three hours since the mission started, but the team is down
to me and Campbell. The number of zombies is far greater than we
expected. There is no hope left for this city. We have already injected
the antibody for the virus, but I’m not sure that it will work. I don’t
know if I will survive…”

NEMESIS REPORT
Umbrella also deploys the ‘Nemesis’; its latest Tyrant
model. It is programmed with specific orders to track
down and kill the surviving STARS members.
“The reason to send Nemesis into Raccoon City was to eliminate the
surviving S.T.A.R.S member(s).
The Umbrella HQ decided to send the Umbrella Special Forces Unit
(USFU) into Raccoon City to assassinate William Birkin. They planned
to kill him and steal his G-virus before he betrayed Umbrella by
joining its rival company(ies).
But, Umbrella knows that should the S.T.A.R.S members know their
plan, it will be difficult for Umbrella to carry it out. Since the mansion
incident, S.T.A.R.S members had discovered the true face of Umbrella.
There are reports that the surviving S.T.A.R.S members are planning to
make an attack on Umbrella. Although the reports are still uncertain
and there have been no obvious signs of action from the S.T.A.R.S
survivors, Umbrella is still very wary of them.
If William Birkin has the S.T.A.R.S members on his side, he might
expose Umbrella's illegal activities. Should that be the case, Umbrella
will have to go against the U.S itself. Even though the U.S. government
is one of the secret customers of the B.O.Ws themselves, they will
have no choice but to face the Umbrella Corporation from the
pressure of the public when Umbrella gets exposed. If things got worse
for Umbrella, they might even find themselves going against the rest
of the world as well, which of course, will be something too much for
Umbrella to handle.
Sensing this danger, the higher ups of the Umbrella Corporation
decided to send in the Nemesis-T type. Although the Nemesis Tyrant
is an expensive B.O.W product (budget), because S.T.A.R.S had even
defeated the Tyrant T-002 before during the mansion incident it would
be wise of them to send in a better tyrant this time instead, thus the
Nemesis.
Other than that, Umbrella has sent 6 T-103 Tyrants to Raccoon City
as well. They were supposed to be in the mid-air of Raccoon City for
emergency, ready to be sent into the R.P.D at anytime if the Umbrella
Special Forces Unit failed in their mission. But on September 29th, all
Tyrants were sent into action.”
- Evidence taken from Nemesis Report; undated.
“In the Raccoon City incident, the Tyrant sent into action was the
second model of the Nemesis, the "Nemesis-T02", which had
undergone the longest period of training.
(NEMESIS NORMAL MODE)
The Nemesis T-02 is very smart. Smarter than the Tyrant that
Umbrella had been using. The Rocket Launcher that Nemesis uses in
this game is designed specifically for Nemesis, and is too heavy for a
human to carry, let alone operate it.
Records have shown that Nemesis has many more weapons up its
sleeves, such as the COMBAT KNIFE, 65' HANDGUN, ASSAULT RIFLE
and even a GRENADE LAUNCHER.
(NEMESIS CAUTIOUS MODE)
Although the black armour of Nemesis is slightly bullet proof, under
heavy fire, Nemesis will still sustain damage. Then it will turn to
"cautious" mode. There is no significant change in appearance, but the
defence system will cause it to use part of its tentacles as a weapon
now. In normal mode, the tentacles were only used to inject the NE-T
virus into its victim. Now, the tentacles contain a liquid compound,
which affects the nervous system of the victim, restricting the victim’s
movement.
(NEMESIS 2ND MODE)
After sustaining heavy damage, Nemesis will produce a type of
secretion that speeds up the reaction of its cells. The result is the
recovery of wounds, but it severely affects the normal recovery system
when it is in normal mode. As the speed of the cell reactions
becomes faster, the appearance of Nemesis will begin to transform,
bringing it further than a human face. Under this condition, Nemesis
will slightly enlarge a little, and the tentacles now loosen up, flowing
more freely than usual. This will mean a greater tendency to infect a
human and is therefore much more dangerous.
Unlike Tyrant, Nemesis will not go berserk under a mutation.
(NEMESIS 3RD MODE)
After Nemesis had gone through much more damage, some of the
functions of Nemesis were disabled. This in turn spikes a mutation.
Nemesis will lose its head when it undergoes this final weird mutation,
and this time, even Nemesis will not be able to withstand the mutation
and will go out of control.
Nemesis will start devouring all sorts of living creatures it comes
across in order to obtain the nutrients needed to grow bigger.
The tentacles will wrap and tangle around its self to form the limbs
that replace the hands and legs, which had gone amiss during the
mutation.
The fast chemical reaction inside the internal body of the Nemesis will
start to create a conflict between the T-virus cell and the Nemesis
cell. The confliction of the 2 virus cells will cause a chain reaction in
which they will swell together as a result, bursting out of the body of
the Nemesis like a bubble, and spat out as a highly acidic compound
of the T-virus and the Nemesis-T virus!
Despite the mutation, Nemesis will never forget its mission... to wipe
out the S.T.A.R.S.”

EARLY AM
RE3 – INTRO:
RE – ARCHIVES
R.P.D. Select members and other officers make a stand on
the streets and a huge fire fight ensues. However, the
sheer number of the zombies is too great and they are
defeated. The surviving police officers retreat to the
police station where they are trapped.
RE3 – INTRO
A UBCS team are wiped out at the hospital. George’s party
however, have already left through the sewers.
REOUT1 – BELOW FREEZING POINT: INTRO
In the city’s underground complex, an Umbrella researcher
is shot by a woman in one of the labs. She wipes his
blood of the storage tank and stares at what is inside; a
G-Virus parasite that had rejected its host due to
incompatibility. The woman mouths to herself that there
is no turning back now but it will all be worth it in the
end. She takes the sample, safely sealing it away in a
portable capsule in a protective briefcase.
REOUT1 – BELOW FREEZING POINT: GAME
After escaping the hospital spending a horrible night
wading through the sewers, Yoko, George and Alyssa have
arrived at the underground lab complex and emerge onto
the train platform.
The woman who stole the G sample embryo is in the train’s
control room and is trying to get it started, but it
won’t work due to loss of electric pressure. She decides
to find another way and exits the train where she bumps
into Yoko’s party. Yoko recognises her as Monica, and
Monica sheers back that she didn’t expect Yoko to return
here. Yoko wants to know what is in the capsule and
Monica is paranoid, believing Yoko to want to steal it.
She takes Yoko’s ID card, before leaving them on the
platform.
Climbing up the elevator shaft, they crawl through a
ventilation duct and emerge into the main lab. They see a
huge mutated plant has made a home here.
Meanwhile, Monica has reached the turntable platform but
it won’t work, due to the extremely cold temperatures. As
she moans about everything being broken she is attacked
from behind by an unknown assailant.
As Yoko’s party explore the lab, they discover that the
temperature has been lowered to slow down the BOW that
have been running loose. Eerie frozen statues of Hunters
are dotted about the place.
They find the turn table car but its controls are frozen
and the only way to activate it is to raise the
temperature. Yoko and Alyssa nervously keep watch as
George thaws out the climate control system with a
blowtorch. After deactivating it, the lab instantly
becomes warmer and the Hunters wake up.
Dashing back to the turntable, they activate the
mechanism and wait for it to descend to their level,
fighting off the zombies as they come.
Monica suddenly reappears but is in pain and collapses
unconscious by the turntable. Her specimen capsule has
been smashed open.
Yoko, Alyssa and George finally take the turntable up as
far below, Monica’s body convulses and the G-Embryo
bursts out of her chest and begins to crawl up the
elevator shaft.
When it reaches the surface, it grows in size and attacks
the survivors. Yoko activates the train and the G mutant
is smashed head on by the transport, killing it
indefinitely. The three battered survivors board the
train and head out toward Raccoon Forest and the city
limits.
RE2 – OPERATION REPORT 1
1PM
David Ford reports that the west barricade in the RPD
building is broken through and twelve more people are
killed in the ensuring battle. The injured are sheltered
temporarily in the confiscation room on the first floor.
“1:00PM. The west barricade has been broken through and another
exchange ensued. We sheltered the injured in the confiscation room
on the first floor temporarily. Twelve more people were injured in the
battle.
Recorder: David Ford”
- Transcribed from Operation Report 1; 27/09/98.
RE2 – ADDITIONAL REPORT
A Licker makes its first appearance in the police
station, killing three more people.
“Three additional people were killed following the sudden appearance
of an as of yet unknown creature. This creature is identified by
missing patches of skin and razor-like claws.
However, its most distinguishing characteristic is its lance-like tongue,
capable of piercing a human torso in an instant.
Their numbers as well as their locations remains unknown. We have
tentatively named this creature the ‘licker’ and are currently in the
process of developing countermeasures to deal with this new threat.”
- Extract from Operation Report 1; 27/09/98.
RE3 – DAVID’S MEMO
An officer uses whiskey to calm his nerves and keeps his
Mossberg shotgun handy. He knows everything is futile and
their planned emergency meeting in three hours in the
meeting room will be pointless. He decides to shoot
himself as soon as he finishes his bottle.
“My sanity is at its end…I still can’t believe this is happening. We lost
another man yesterday. Meyer; one of our better marksmen. He saw
me panic once we were overrun by zombies, but he came back to
save me.
But when the time came to return the debt, I ran.
I can still hear him calling out my name. I can still hear the screams
coming from behind. The sound of his flesh being stripped from its
bones. I was afraid…terrified…
It’s the 27th. The fight to stay alive continues. I took out several
zombies who managed to break through the barricades. Now I’m
cutting through the chill with whisky, unloading my Mossberg on
anything undead. That shotgun became a close friend of mine. I’ve
blasted many a zombie into fertiliser with it.
We’ve lost 13 men as of yesterday. In 3 hours, we’ll bicker over trivial
things in the meeting room. It’s a total waste of time. When I finish
this bottle, my old friend Mossberg will be turning one last body into
fertiliser.
Peace at last.”
- Transcription of David’s Memo; 27/09/98.
REOUT2: FLASHBACK: GAME: AFTERNOON
George, Yoko and Alyssa have reached Raccoon Forest via
the turn table train. Knowing the rail route will
eventually be barricaded off due to the military
blockades surrounding the city, they have decided they
have a better chance of escaping on foot. They have been
sheltering in an old hut with a man who lives there
called Al. He offers to lead them on a route through the
forest to the neighbouring town but instead leads them to
an old, abandoned hospital which had closed down in 1993.
He then promptly vanishes.
The three survivors enter the hospital and find it
completely empty. However, after more searching around a
man breaks down one of the doors. He has a sack over his
head, wields a huge axe and immediately begins to chase
them. George fends him off, allowing Yoko and Alyssa to
escape. Alyssa keeps having flashbacks to something
terrible that happened here a long time ago. They move
on, and discover a huge plant rooted in the basement of a
hospital. They also uncover evidence that the hospital’s
closure was due to some illegal experiments performed by
Umbrella.
They are eventually reunited with George who has managed
to evade the crazy man with the axe.
The huge plant is hindering their progress however and
they make up some chemicals to kill it. Unfortunately,
the plant had been holding the whole structure stable and
now that it is dead the hospital begins to fall apart.
They begin their escape only to meet the axe man again.
Alyssa realises the man is Al and he is angry more than
ever now as he believed the plant was the reincarnation
of his dead wife, and that all the recent murders around
here were down to him, feeding the bodies to the plant in
order to keep it strong. She bravely distracts him long
enough for George and Yoko to get out but then the
building collapses, killing Alyssa and Al who were still
inside.
George and Yoko stare in disbelief at the wreckage. There
is nothing left for them now than to turn around and head
back to the city. They have to find shelter somewhere and
the forest is not safe. Perhaps the police station was
their best bet after all.
RE3 – MERCENARY’S POCKETBOOK
A platoon of UBCS survivors manage to reach the St.
Michael clock tower, which is a designated extraction
point for survivors. But they only managed by robbing the
wounded of their weapons and using the surviving citizens
as decoys. Inside, a surviving girl goes over to him, she
looks just like the mercenary’s sister before she died.
“We managed to reach the clock tower. Out of desperation we robbed
some wounded members of their weapons and used the surviving
citizens as decoys. We were taught to do this in order to survive in
the battlefield, but I never enjoyed it. However, a girl showed up at the
clock tower before me. She is one of the survivors. She looks just like
my sister before she starved to death…”

REOUT2 – DESPERATE TIMES: INTRO: DUSK
REOUT2 – MARVIN’S MEMO
It is early evening and the sky glows an eerie red from
all the fires burning in the city. The front gate of the
RPD is being sieged by zombies, blocking any escape.
Inside the station is almost deserted as many of the
officers have been killed or are out fighting the zombies
in the streets.
Inside the eastern office, four officers including Marvin
Brannagh and Rita are studying plans of the police
station’s design. Marvin points out that when the station
used to be an art gallery in the late 80’s there were
some secret ventilation ducts located underground which
they could use to escape, although they are so small that
only Rita may be able to fit through. But she can bring
back help and they can all escape together.
“The various air conditioning ducts used during the building’s time as
museum where abandoned during the renovations, but not completely.
The ducts themselves still exist, and might even provide a way out.
And there’s always the main hall with the statue in it. It used to be
the main exhibition space, and there was probably a way to move
large pieces in and out. Perhaps it still works. Might be worth checking
out.
Of course, if we trust S.T.A.R.S…No, forget it. There’s no use grumbling.
Anyway, there might be some chance of getting out with their help.
Maybe I’ll check it out. I certainly don’t want to die here.”
- Extracted from Marvin’s Memo; undated.
REOUT2 – DESPERATE TIMES: GAME
RPD Officer Kevin Ryman, security guard Mark Wilkins and
plumber David King have been sheltering here since the
initial outbreak at J’s bar on the night of the 25th.
Kevin meets up with Marvin in the main lobby, who tells
him that the survivors have taken up positions throughout
the building and that they have to protect the station.
Rita is at the computer. She asks where Kevin has been
all this time. They split up to search the station. The
surviving officers have taken up key defensive positions
throughout the precinct. One officer in the reception
room tells Kevin he will go to the kennels and get the
dogs before they leave. They get a brief glimpse of a
licker climbing outside the window. Kevin also finds a
secret file locked away in the basement which implies
that Police Chief Brian Irons has been receiving large
amounts of money over the last few years. However, the
Chief is nowhere to be found, the entrance to his office
has been blocked off. It turns out that the file belongs
to a reporter who is locked up in the cells called Ben
Bertolucci. It seems he is building up a case on the
Chief. In the western office, Mark finds a resume
addressed to Chief Irons by Leon S. Kennedy, a new
recruit who is due to arrive on Sep 29th whom Kevin and
Rita are supposed to train up.
Meanwhile, Marvin and Rita have raised the statue in the
main hall revealing the secret ventilation shaft. Marvin
reckons that it is so narrow it will take her at least an
hour to get through. He gives her a radio to keep in
touch; she promises she will be back as soon as possible
with help.
Meanwhile, Kevin and the others try to hunt down some of
the weapon caches’ that have been mysteriously scattered
around the station while Marvin sits dejected on the
steps of the main hall, waiting to see if Rita will call.
In the parking garage, Kevin, Mark and David manage to
raise the shutters leading to the outside. They find a
tooled up SWAT van halfway up the ramp. The driver is
dead yet they arm up on heavy weaponry.
Meanwhile, Marvin has almost given up hope when the radio
crackles. Rita is okay and she has got help in the form
of a police van. She says she will back it up to the
front gate, but due to the large numbers of undead, she
won’t be able to stay there long. Marvin tells her to
hurry. He goes out of the front door and immediately the
zombies behind the gate become more agitated, a couple of
them are starting to break through.
Kevin and the others hurry back to him and as they get
outside, Marvin is bitten by a zombie. They kill it and
he tells them he got careless but Rita is on her way back
with help. He races back to the main hall and calls over
the speaker system for all the survivors to gather at the
front gates ready for evacuation, but no one comes, are
they all dead?
Meanwhile, outside the front entrance, Kevin is keeping
watch when the gate gives way and the zombie army pile
through. Kevin, David and Mark open fire with their
automatic weapons. Suddenly, Rita’s van arrives and backs
up to the gate. She throws the back door open, waving
them on. Kevin, Mark and David climb aboard, but Marvin
is nowhere to be seen. Elliot, the driver, is beginning
to panic as the zombies draw nearer.
Suddenly, Marvin appears at the doorway, he is badly
wounded and there are zombies in the hall behind him. He
tells them to go, but Rita won’t leave him. She tries to
jump out but Kevin stops her and Eric drives off.
Rita is in tears but Kevin consoles her, saying Marvin is
a good officer and it will take more than a few zombies
to finish him off.
Marvin manages to shut the zombies outside and kills the
rest in the main hall. He takes shelter in the western
office on the first floor, where he loses consciousness…
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 28TH
2:30AM
RE2 – OPERATION REPORT 2:
Elliot Edward reports that zombies have overrun the
operation room and another battle breaks out. David Ford
and three other officers are killed in the fight. There
are only four survivors left now in the whole precinct
and they agree to escape through the sewers.
“Early morning 2:30AM.
Zombies overran the operation room and another battle broke out. We
lost four more people, including David.
We’re down to four people, including myself. We failed to secure the
weapons cache and hope for our survival continues to diminish.
We won’t last much longer…
We agreed upon a plan to escape through the sewer. There’s a path
leading from the precinct underground to the sewage disposal plant.
We should be able to access the sewers through there.
The only drawback is that there is no guarantee the sewage disposal
plant is free of any possible dangers. We know our chances in the
sewers are slim, but anything would be better than simply waiting here
to die.
In order to buy more time, we locked the only door leading to the
underground, which is located in the eastern office.
We left the key behind in the western office since it’s unlikely that any
of those creatures have the intelligence to find it and unlock the door.
I pray this operation report will be helpful to whoever may find it.
Recorder: Elliot Edward”

RE2EX-JILL’S NOTE
Up in her apartment building, ex-STARS Alpha member Jill
Valentine is tired of waiting. She’s watched the city
crumble to pieces over the last few days and now its time
to make her escape. She leaves a note for whoever may
find it and prepares to leave.
“It all began as an ordinary day in September. An ordinary day in
Raccoon City. A city controlled by Umbrella. No one dared to oppose
them. That and the lack of strength would ultimately lead to their
destruction. I suppose they had to suffer the consequences of their
actions, but there would be no forgiveness. If only they had had the
courage to fight.
But it’s true that once the wheels of justice begin to turn, nothing
could stop them. Nothing! It was Raccoon City’s last chance…
And my last chance…my last escape.”
- Taken from Jill’s Note; undated.
She grabs her gun and goes downstairs where outside she
finds the zombies waiting for her. With there being too
many to kill outright, Jill barges open an alleyway door
and retreats to the relative safety of a warehouse. It is
secure inside and there is a hysterical survivor called
Dario Rosso already taking shelter here. Jill keeps watch
by the window waiting for an ideal opportunity for them
to make their escape.
DAWN
A U.B.C.S. mercenary has lost the will to survive and now
wishes he had been executed. He decides to shoot himself
and prays that his body will not rise up and walk again.
“Dawn’s here, but we’re still slogging through this nightmare. There are
no provisions of any kind here. The undead walk the streets feeding
upon the flesh of the living.
Given the choice again, I would rather have been executed. Death row
was a heavenly asylum compared to this place.
I’ve chosen to pull the trigger myself, in the hope that my dead body
won’t come back to life.”

RE3EX-BRAD’S NOTE
Brad Vickers, the only STARS member still on active duty,
is trying to escape Raccoon City. However, he is
relentlessly pursued by the Nemesis.
“No!! It’s that monster in the black suit again! Why does that thing
keep chasing me?! What did I do? This must be someone’s sick idea
of a joke. If I knew things were going to end up like this, I would have
left the S.T.A.R.S. team a long time ago! But whining won’t help me
now. I know I’m finished…
Oh…In my hometown Delucia, I bet the flowers are in bloom. If I could
only see them once more before I die…

RE3: GAME
MORNING
Jill has been holed up at the warehouse for quite some
time now and at last it appears safe to move out but
Dario refuses to go with her having just lost his
daughter to the zombies and locks himself away in a
storage locker. He won’t come out so Jill unlocks the
warehouse door and leaves alone. Locked inside the
locker, Dario pens his final memoirs.
“I can’t help but wonder if anyone will read these words, but writing
them will help me maintain my sanity if nothing else.
After I’ve become a meal for those undead monsters, will the G.I.s
responsible for sealing up the town laugh upon discovering my corpse?
So is this how it’s supposed to end? I don’t want to die. I’m just not
ready.
My wife, daughter, mother…My entire family has been killed. But none
of that matters anymore. Right now, my life is the only important
thing. That is all that matters.
I never would have pictured my end to be like this. I had so much left
to do. Rather than becoming a salesman, I should have tried my hand
at being a novelist. It’s what I’ve always wanted, but my mother would
only tell me you have a long way to go.
Why did I ever listen to her?
But this looks like the end for the great Dario Rosso, novelist
extraordinaire. Cut down before his prime…”
- Taken from Dario’s Memo; undated.
The streets are quiet, with only a few zombies lurking
and Jill conserves ammo by dodging round them.
The silence is broken by gunshots and she spots a
survivor who looks familiar. But he runs off before she
can catch him.
She tracks him to Bar Jack, where he turns out to be none
other than STARS Alpha member Brad Vickers, the only
other STARS member left in the city. He is hysterical,
saying that the city is dead because the police are not
trained to deal with this kind of situation. He warns her
that something is chasing them; something designed
specifically to kill the surviving STARS members. With
these chilling words, he runs off and leaves Jill alone
and bewildered in the bar.
Jill decides to head towards the precinct to find out
more information and grab her lock picking tools. She
meets up with Brad at the front gate who is badly wounded
and now seems eager to team up with her. Suddenly
however, a dark shape drops down between them. This is
the Nemesis, Umbrella’s latest creation. Jill is
awestruck and powerless to do anything as the creature
grabs Brad and spikes him through the face with a virusencrusted tentacle. Tossing his useless body away, it
turns towards Jill and unnervingly mutters the word
STARS, who runs for the door and only just makes it in
time. The Nemesis bangs relentlessly at the door and Jill
runs through the station before it breaks through.
In the precinct, Jill finds most of the doors have been
solidly barricaded. One of the last surviving officers,
Marvin Brannagh, is unconscious and mortally wounded in
the western office, she cannot wake him up. She moves on
and reaches the STARS office. It has been trashed and
someone has been rifling through Wesker’s desk. Jill
grabs her lock pick. She also searches the locker for
guns and takes some medical supplies from Rebecca’s desk
and some ammunition from Barry’s.
As she leaves the communications console lights up and
she catches a garbled transmission from a UBCS member.
She then leaves the station with the Nemesis hot on her
tail.
RE2 – UNOFFICIAL EVENTS
Chief Irons finally comes out of hiding and rips down all
the barricades in the RPD.
RE3 – GAME
NIGHT
Jill makes her way downtown and enters a restaurant,
where she bumps into a UBCS member named Carlos Oliveria.
They don’t have time to talk for long however, as the
Nemesis has found her once more. They hide from it in the
basement and escape onto the street via a ventilation
duct.
Carlos explains his position to Jill and asks her to join
him but Jill is livid scoffing that Umbrella is the cause
of all this mess in the first place. Carlos is
unrepentant, saying that they are just hired hands of
Umbrella and don’t know the details. All they have been
told is to rescue the civilians. He asks her to think it
over before running off into the night.
Jill stops off at the newspaper office before passing the
municipal building and reaching the cable car station.
Inside the car, she meets Nicholai Ginoveaf, a Commander
for the UBCS. He asks her how she managed to survive and
is surprised when she says she is a STARS member. She
also meets Mikhail Viktor, but he has been badly wounded
in an attack though doesn’t appear to be infected. Carlos
reappears and asks Jill if she has decided to help them
out. Nicholai retorts that they cannot trust her but
Carlos thinks they need all the help they can get.
Nicholai reluctantly agrees and they go over the plan.
They will use the cable car as a moving barricade to
navigate through the bad areas and reach the clock tower
where they will signal a rescue helicopter. Unfortunately
they need three components to get the trolley working and
so they split up to find them.
Jill visits the gas station to find some oil for the
trolley and it appears Nicholai has the same idea as he
enters minutes later. However, whilst he inspects the
back rooms a cable starts sparking and ignites a huge
explosion, setting a large part of the station on fire.
Jill has no choice but to get out of there and she only
just makes it as the fire reaches the fuel and the whole
place goes up in a colossal inferno. As she looks back at
the smoking ruin there was surely no hope for Nicholai.
She takes the oil back to the cable car and finds Mikhail
out on the street, fending off a group of zombies. After
using a grenade to take them all out, he collapses
exhausted onto the street. Jill helps him back up inside
and tells him to rest. Once he is comfortable, she heads
off once more.
She has another encounter with Nemesis outside the
electrical station where she picks up a fuse and in the
garage she finds a jump lead.
Meanwhile, Carlos has reached Umbrella’s Sales Office,
where he runs into another UBCS survivor and his close
friend, Murphy Seeker. Murphy is badly injured and in the
latter stages of T-Virus infection. He pleads with Carlos
to kill him as Jill enters the office behind him. Carlos
can’t do it but the look on Murphy’s face is agonising.
Carlos closes his eyes and blows Murphy away. As Jill
looks on Carlos is too distraught to speak to her and
runs out of the office almost in tears. Jill enters the
storeroom at the back of the office and grabs some more
oil just as a zombie army breaks into the office.
Fortunately she has enough manpower to fend them off and
escape back towards the cable car.
When Jill gets back to the trolley she finds Carlos and
Mikhail waiting for her and she tells them Nicholai is
dead. They then begin their journey towards the clock
tower. They haven’t got far however when they hear a
muffled scream from Mikhail in the back. Jill goes to
check on him and sees that the Nemesis has arrived.
Together, Jill and Mikhail manage to temporarily knock it
down but it soon rises again and Mikhail tells Jill to
get out of the cable car. She doesn’t want to but
reluctantly leaves Mikhail alone to face down the
monster.
His bullets hardly slow it down and his rifle runs dry.
Nemesis picks him up and smashes him against the window
before knocking him down to the floor. As it leers over
him for the finishing blow, Mikhail produces a grenade
and pops the pin, blowing the second car up and knocking
the Nemesis off the train. The explosion has damaged the
remaining car however and they cannot slow it down. Jill
dives out of the window as the trolley smashes into the
clock tower wall.
RE3 – GAME:
EARLY AM
Jill gets groggily at her feet and sees that they have
somehow arrived at their destination. Inside the clock
tower appears to be deserted and Jill finds many corpses
of civilians and UBCS soldiers, they never did get
evacuated after all. She runs into Carlos again who is
still alive yet has given up on all hope of rescue and
for this Jill gives him a smack. They concentrate on
activating the bell to signal the helicopter.
They finally manage it and Jill is ecstatic when the
helicopter comes into view, believing it to be finally
over. Her hopes are dashed however, when the Nemesis
appears, still alive and shoots down the chopper with its
rocket launcher. It then jumps down into the courtyard to
face Jill, who this time has nowhere to go. It shoots out
its tentacle, puncturing Jill’s shoulder. She collapses
just as Carlos arrives to save her. He drives the Nemesis
back with some severe firepower as it tries to get a bead
on him with its rocket launcher. The blast just misses
him, though the shockwave knocks him flying. Carlos
continues to shoot until the Nemesis is forced to retreat
where it collapses into the fiery wreckage of the chopper
and is consumed by the flames. Carlos runs over to Jill’s
unconscious form but she does not wake up. He carries her
into the clock tower.

now under the command of the Captain of the Guard, Sergei Vladimir.
His orders are to be strictly obeyed. Any attempts to disobey orders
will be punishable by death.
1. This vessel is to infiltrate Raccoon City and air drop T1 into
the R.P.D. police station to take care of possible survivors.
2. The remaining Ts on board should be dropped in the P-12A
Incinerator Facility. They will be able to respond to wellequipped and well-trained U.S. Special Forces in the area. We
must make sure we take all necessary steps to clean them up.
3. After completing the preceding steps, this vessel is to retreat
from Raccoon City airspace as quickly as possible. After
releasing all of the Ts, there will be another piece of cargo to
be transported. Details will follow later.”

RE2 – UNOFFICIAL EVENTS
With the death toll rising and reported survivors at a
minimum, the US army begin to disassemble the barricades
on some of the minor routes leading into the city.
RE – ARCHIVES
DUSK
Leon S. Kennedy is due to start his new job as a Raccoon
City Police Officer today. However he oversleeps due to
being hung over from a party the previous night and
doesn’t set off for the city until after sunset. En route
he tries to contact his superior officer but cannot get a
response.
RE2 – CLAIRE INTRO
DUSK
Claire reaches Raccoon City and stops off at Emmy’s diner
for something to eat.
RE2 – LEON INTRO
Leon also reaches down and finds it eerily deserted. Up
ahead he sees some crows on the floor and as he gets
closer realises there is a body on the floor. He gets out
to investigate.
RE2 – INTRO
At a nearby gas station, a truck driver stops off for
fuel and is attacked by the proprietor who bites him on
the arm. The truck driver throws him out of the window
before continuing on his way, bleeding badly.
RE2 – LEON INTRO
The body is a mess, horribly mutilated. Leon suddenly
hears a noise behind him and whirls round to see several
zombies advancing on him. He warns them off with his gun
before the body he was just inspecting comes to life and
tries to bite him. He shoots them and retreats towards an
alley, bullets only slowing them down.
RE2 – CLAIRE INTRO
The diner is deserted, until Claire finds the manager
eating the corpse of one of his customers. The zombie
reaches for her with skeletal fingers and she runs for
the back exit. Opening the door she finds herself staring
into the barrel of Leon’s gun. He tells her to get down
as he kills the manager with a headshot. He helps her up
and says they have to get to the police station where it
will be safe.
They spot a parked squad car on the road and set off
towards the city centre as the zombies close in. The car
radio is out and they introduce themselves to each other,
Claire telling Leon she is looking for her brother Chris.
As they screech round a corner, they see a tanker truck
following them rather erratically close behind. Looking
in the glove box, Claire finds a 9mm which Leon tells her
to take with her. Suddenly, he is attacked by a zombie
which had been hiding in the back seat all along. The car
swerves from side to side as Leon frantically tries to
keep control whilst keeping the zombie away from his
neck. Eventually they crash into a signpost and the
zombie is hurtled through the windscreen. Before they can
catch their breath however, they see the tanker bearing
down on them, its driver now fully transformed into a
zombie. They manage to get out of the squad car before
the tanker smashes into it, blowing up in spectacular
fashion.
Claire and Leon both survive, yet they are separated from
each other by the fire. Leon calls for her to head for
the police station and that he will meet her there.
RE2 – LEON A GAME
RE2EX – ROBERT’S NOTE
Leon begins to run through the wrecked streets of Raccoon
City, dodging the zombies as he goes. He reaches the
relative safety of a local gun shop where he meets Robert
Kendo who nearly blows his head off with a shotgun until
he realises Leon is human. Kendo locks the door but says
he doesn’t have a clue what is going on or where the
zombies have come from. All the guns from the shop are
long gone but Kendo says Leon should be safe here.
Unfortunately however, four zombies suddenly smash
through the windows and devour the hapless gun shop
owner. Leon cannot help him and so leaves through the
back door, but not before spotting a note on the counter
addressed to STARS survivor Barry Burton.
“How could this have happened, Barry? The town's been overrun by
zombies and has literally become a nightmare on earth.
As you know, my concern for the town is as great as your own. I
have waited for your arrival on the assumption you were still in the
area, but the threat of my shop being overwhelmed by zombies has
become too great.
I've already distributed the majority of weapons and ammo to the
town's survivors including the Raging Bull you special ordered. I hope
you understand, given the circumstances.
At any rate, I have no intention of pointlessly sacrificing my life and
will be retreating to Stone Ville.
If you get this message, meet me there. We'll go fishing...
Robert Kendo”

RE2 – CLAIRE B GAME
Claire makes her way through the streets of Raccoon and
soon reaches the back entrance of the police department.
Climbing up a metal staircase she reaches the helipad
where a surviving policeman is frantically trying to
signal a rescue helicopter. The chopper’s pilot drops a
rope ladder but the cop is attacked by two zombies and
eaten. His rifle goes off spasmodically and hits the
chopper pilot, causing the helicopter to crash into the
water tower by the helipad and burst into flames. Once
the smoke clears, Claire enters the station.
RE2 – LEON A GAME
Leon moves on, even going through a bus full of corpses
to get through a barricade. The bodies of fallen police
officers litter the floor. Inside the RPD gate, he has to
take down a zombie of the late STARS Alpha officer Brad
Vickers. He enters the station to find it deserted, not a
single person in the whole lobby. This is not a good
sign. He begins a search of the station.
RE2 – GAME
WESKER’S REPORT
REUC – EMERGENCY ORDERS
An unmarked Umbrella helicopter ridden by Sergei hovers
over the RPD building. Underneath, a steel crate houses
six pressure canisters. One is dropped down towards the
RPD. The canister opens to reveal a new type of tyrant,
codenamed Mr. X. Its mission is to locate missing samples
of the G-Virus and take care of any possible survivors.
REUC – EMERGENCY ORDERS
RE3 – CLASSIFIED PHOTO FILE
The helicopter then makes its way to the Dead Factory to
deploy the other tyrants, where a US Special Forces team
are waiting to rendezvous with William Birkin, unaware he
is already dead. A huge battle breaks out and the tyrants
are killed by an experimental rail cannon the US troops
have brought with them. Even though the tyrants are
destroyed, the soldiers are all wiped out. The helicopter
then retreats from Raccoon City airspace, although it
will be needed later to recover the U.M.F 13 mainframe
before the city is destroyed.
RE2 – LEON A GAME
RE2 – MEMO TO LEON
Leon enters the western office where he finds it trashed
and blood splattered everywhere. However, there is a
survivor, Marvin Brannagh. He is wounded. He explains
that the zombies are a result of Umbrella’s illegal
experiments, and that the STARS team discovered this over
two months ago, yet no one believed them. Now all the
remaining STARS members have disappeared. Marvin is too
injured to move and he asks Leon to search for survivors
in the other rooms. He gives him a key card and tells him
to go, Leon promising he will come back for him.
“To Leon S. Kennedy,
Congratulations on your assignment to the Raccoon City police
department.
We all look forward to having you as part of our team and promise
to take good care of you.
Welcome aboard!
From all the guys at the R.P.D.”
- Taken from Memo to Leon; undated.
RE2 – CLAIRE B GAME
Claire confronts the mysterious Mr X on the second floor
and decides she is best keeping away from him. She makes
for the STARS office, hoping to find out about Chris’
whereabouts there. Leon is already there waiting for he
and presents her with Chris’ diary which he found on his
desk. It appears he has not been in the city for quite
some time. Leon hands her a radio and suggests they split
up, look for any survivors and get out of there. He
leaves her to look over Chris’ desk.
RE2 – FEDERAL POLICE INTERNAL INVESTIGATION REPORT
A fax addressed to Chris Redfield comes through to the
STARS office describing the results of an FBI
investigation into Brian Irons and possible invention of
a ‘G-Virus’ by Umbrella Corp. It concludes that Chief
Irons has a bad history with allegations of rape and
bribery whilst they cannot confirm if the G-Virus even
exists.
“Mr. Chris Redfield
Raccoon City Police Department S.T.A.R.S. Division
As per your request, we have conducted our internal investigation and
discovered the following information:
1. Regarding the G-Virus currently under development by Umbrella
Inc.
So far, it is unconfirmed the G-Virus even exists. We’re continuing with
our investigation.
2. Regarding Mr. Brian Irons, Chief of the Raccoon City Police
Dept.
Mr. Irons has allegedly received a large sum of funds from Umbrella
Inc. over the past five years. He was apparently involved in the coverup of the mansion lab case, along with several other incidents in
which Umbrella appears to have direct involvement.
Mr. Irons had been arrested under suspicion of rape on two separate
counts during his years as a university student. He underwent a
psychiatric evaluation as a result of the charges but was released due
to circumstantial evidence as well as his phenomenal academic
standing.
As such, extreme caution is advised when dealing with him.

RE2 – LEON A GAME
Leon makes his way back downstairs to check on Marvin and
arrives just in time to witness the dying officer turn
into a zombie and attack him. Leon puts him out of his
misery before moving on.
RE2 – LEON B GAME
Leon makes his way up to the second floor and searches
the library. Moving on, he runs into a little girl. She
is frightened of him and runs away. He gives chase but
she escapes through a hole under a blocked off door. The
hole is too small for Leon to squeeze through so he gives
up. Walking back up the corridor he bumps into Claire
once more. She asks him about the girl and Leon says she
has run off. Claire replies she will go and look for her
and tells him to find them a way out. They split up once
more.
RE2 – CLAIRE A
Whilst searching around, Claire hears a female scream
coming from behind a blocked off area and uses some
plastic explosive to blow her way through. She then
enters Chief Iron’s office and finds a dead girl slumped
over his desk. Chief Irons himself spins round on his
chair and nearly blows her head off until he sees she’s
not infected. He explains the body belongs to that of the
mayor’s daughter whom he was supposed to look after, but
he has obviously failed. He asks to be left alone and
Claire continues her search for the little girl,
eventually catching up with her in the back rooms of the
Chief’s private chambers where he keeps his art
collection. It appears her name is Sherry Birkin and she
was told to come here by her mother who works at an
Umbrella lab. Sherry is looking for her dad. Suddenly, a
huge roar echoes round the building and Sherry takes off
in a panic before Claire can grab her.
RE2 – LEON A
Leon investigates the RPD basement and runs into another
survivor; an oriental woman named Ada Wong. She is
apparently looking for a reporter named Ben Bertolucci
who has information about her boyfriend, a missing
Umbrella employee named John.
After moving a SWAT van blocking the entrance to the
cells, they find that Ben has locked himself up,
believing it to be the only safe place from all the
monsters. He doesn’t want to leave the cell until they
secure a way out.
RE2 – CLAIRE A
Claire finds Sherry hiding in the depths of the RPD.
Claire waits for her while she squeezes through a
ventilation shaft.
RE2 – LEON B
Leon finds Ada and they eventually come to a dead end
where Leon lifts Ada up so she can crawl through a
ventilation duct. At the other side, she drops down and
runs into Sherry, who drops her pendant and runs away.
Ada decides to hold onto it for her.
After avoiding some Cerberus dogs, Ada finds the vital
key she needs and tosses it back up to Leon.
Unfortunately she can’t reach the vent shaft anymore and
has to find another way around. She’ll catch up to him
later.
Leon heads back up into the station to search for the
other keys they need to escape, bumping into Mr X more
than once.
RE2 – CLAIRE B
After searching the precinct top to bottom, Claire finds
Sherry again in the Chief’s office where they discover a
secret passage leading to an elevator. Claire tells
Sherry to wait whilst she goes on ahead and meets Irons
in his torture chamber. He tells her that Sherry’s father
is none other than William Birkin, the creator of the GVirus and responsible for this whole mess. Irons is about
to shoot her when suddenly he is dragged underground by a
creature lurking under a trapdoor and the top half of his
body comes flying back into the room in a bloody mess.
Cautiously, Claire climbs down the ladder and confronts
the creature, which turns out to be none other than
William Birkin himself, who a week earlier had injected
himself with his own creation. Claire manages to drive it
away before returning to get Sherry,
RE2 – LEON B: GAME
After finding what the need, Leon hurries back to the
cells to get Ben only to find he has been injured by a
monster. He tells Leon that Chief Irons has been working
with Umbrella when suddenly his chest explodes and a
small parasitic creature bursts out.
He calls Claire and tells him he has accessed the sewer
entrance and asks her to meet him there.
Upon entering the sewer, he finds the monster that had
attacked Ben, a ‘G-mutant’, capable of spitting out
parasites that can be ingested by a host. If the parasite
rejects its host, it will burst out through the chest.
Leon takes it down before finding Ada and this time she
agrees to stick with him.
They don’t get far however before they unexpectedly run
into Annette Birkin, who tries to shoot Ada but Leon
takes the bullet for her by pushing her out of the way.
Leon loses consciousness and Ada takes after Annette.
After moving through a vent shaft, Annette sneaks up and
disarms Ada, believing her to be a spy sent to recover
the ‘G-Virus’. She coldly informs her that John is dead,
killed in the biohazard at the Spencer Mansion back in
the summer. She also explains to Ada what happened to
William Birkin, how Umbrella tried to steal his own virus
and how it leaked across the city. Ada realises that the
creature stalking the police department was William all
along. Annette then spots Sherry’s pendant around her
neck and a fight breaks out, resulting in Ada pushing
Annette over the railing and plunging her into the sewage
water. Ada then opens up the pendent to reveal a sample
of the G-Virus hidden inside it.
CLAIRE B: GAME
Claire and Sherry enter the sewer and see Mr X prowling
the gantry above, looking for them. Fortunately it
doesn’t se them and they run off, although Sherry somehow
gets herself washed down a drain, where she loses
consciousness. William Birkin finds her, and injects her
with an embryo. With Sherry being his daughter, the host
is compatible.
Claire moves on and finds Leon. He has been shot but he
says he is fine and tells her to go and find Ada, who has
gone after Annette. Claire agrees and instead finds
Annette hauling herself out of some sewage water. Claire
tells her that Sherry is lost in the sewer and Annette
realises that William will be after her. They split up to
look for her.
Claire eventually find her unconscious on the garbage
dump and realises she has already been infected.
LEON A: GAME
Leon recovers enough to go on and eventually finds Ada,
who feels guilty about his wound and bandages him up.
CLAIRE A: GAME
Sherry and Claire leave the sewer and reach the factory
on the outskirts of town. A train car waits for them on a
turntable platform and they take it down towards
Umbrella’s main lab beneath the city. However, their
journey is interrupted by the Birkin mutant once more and
Claire has to go outside and fight it off.
Eventually, they touch down at the lab and Claire carries
the sickly Sherry and locks her in a security office. She
then heads off to search the lab for a possible cure.
LEON B: GAME
Slowed down somewhat by Leon’s injury, they eventually
arrive at the factory and have to call up the train car
from the lower levels. In doing so however, they are
attacked by Mr X whom for some reason has turned his
attention towards Leon and Ada. They knock it down and
climb onto the train and begin their decent.
However, William Birkin is still lurking down there and
attacks the train, his claws shooting through steel as if
it were tin foil and stabbing Ada in the shoulder. Leon
fends him off but the train has stopped halfway down due
to a malfunction. Ada is hurt badly and she urges him to
leave her and go but Leon says they will escape together.
He sets off to find a way to get the train moving again
but as he is crawling through a vent to another level of
the lab, the train unexpectedly starts up and moves down
again. Did Ada do that? Surely not…
REUC – DEATH’S DOOR: EPILOGUE
Sergei Vladimir infiltrates the lab and secures the UMF13 to take it out of the city.
LEON B: GAME:
EARLY AM
Leon finds an elevator and rides down to the bottom of
the lab but an inspection of the train reveals it to be
empty. Ada has gone. He begins to search the lab for her
and runs into Annette, who accuses him of being a spy
along with Ada. Leon denies this but Annette says she has
run a background check on her. She works for ‘The Agency’
and is here to steal the G-Virus. Her relationship with
John was a scam in her eyes to gather intelligence on
Umbrella.
Suddenly, Mr X crashes down from the ceiling behind Leon
and Annette flees for the elevator, leaving Leon trapped
with the beast. Leon manages to knock it down and takes
the lift down to the power room.
RE2 – 4TH SURVIVOR
REUC – 4TH SURVIVOR
Somewhere in the sewerage system, USS Agent Hunk slowly
regains consciousness. He is injured yet doesn’t seem to
be infected and has been drifting in and out of
consciousness for days as he struggled to stay alive.
Despite Birkin smashing the case containing the viral
samples, Hunk still has one safely secured on him and he
manages to make it to the basement of the RPD before
calling up HQ on the radio. Someone codenamed Night Hawk
responds and Hunk says he has the sample. He also reports
that Birkin injected himself with his own virus. They
agree an extraction point on the roof of the RPD and so
sets off to get there. On the way he picks up ghost
transmissions from an overrun Raccoon radio station as
well as other battles across the contaminated city.
CLAIRE A – GAME
Meanwhile, as Claire moves around the lab the crazed
Annette finds her and accuses her of murdering William.
Claire tells her he has implanted Sherry with an embryo
just as William drops down from the ceiling behind them.
Annette rushes to embrace him but he cuts her down as if
she were a rag doll before he disappears once more.
Lying in a pool of blood, Annette begs Claire to save
Sherry and gives her instructions on how to make the GVirus vaccine, dubbed ‘Devil’.
LEON B – GAME
Whilst Leon is in the power room, Mr X has tracked him
once more and he is now trapped with nowhere to run.
Suddenly, shots ring out from behind the beast and Ada
has returned for him. Mr X turns toward her as her
magazine runs dry. She reloads just as the tyrant grabs
her by the throat and hoists her into the air. Ada fires
point blank into Mr X’s face, damaging him badly. He
tosses Ada aside and she clatters into a control panel.
Injured and malfunctioning, Mr X topples over the gantry
and falls far below and into a vat of liquid metal. Leon
dashes over to Ada and she tells him she loves him as
they share a tender kiss. She apparently dies in his arms
as an electrical surge echoes around them, setting off
the self-destruct sequence. Reluctantly letting her go,
Leon takes the master key from her body and leaves as the
base begins to shake around him.
REUC – DEATH’S DOOR
However, Ada, though badly wounded, is faking death and
gets up as soon as Leon has gone. She needs to get out of
the lab.
CLAIRE A – GAME
Claire reaches the control room and sees Leon on the
monitors. She calls him on the radio and he seems
surprised she is still alive. She tells him to go and get
Sherry from the security room whilst she goes to Birkin’s
private lab to make up the vaccine.
LEON B – GAME
Leon arrives at the office and picks up the unconscious
Sherry. Using the master key he took from Ada’s body, he
unlocks the elevator route for the emergency exit which
leads to the train platform. Placing Sherry down inside
one of the carriages, he makes preparations to start the
train.
REUC – 4TH SURVIVOR: EPILOGUE: DAWN
Hunk makes it to the RPD roof, ignoring the pleas of
others over his radio, including an apparent survivor
from his own team who is lying injured in the sewers. As
he waits for the extraction chopper, he notes how mission
objective takes priority above everything else, and that
is why he has never failed a mission. The death cannot
die. Survival rate for this mission is 4% but he has the
G-Sample, which will be delivered to Umbrella at Loire
Village, France.
CLAIRE A – GAME
After making the Devil vaccine in Birkin’s lab, she uses
an MO disk to access a corridor leading to the elevator
for the train platform. However, as she waits for the
lift to arrive, William Birkin crashes through the
ceiling for a final confrontation, his appearance now so
mutated there is no way to tell he was once human. They
begin one last final battle, Claire using all her
available firepower on the creature.
LEON B – GAME
Leon leaves the train to fire up the generator to power
the transport and open up the exit gates. However, as he
inserts the plugs to regain power, a mutated Mr X jumps
down behind him, now stronger than ever. Leon desperately
tries to dodge the attacks, but there seems no way to
defeat the creature until Ada appears somewhere above,
apparently still alive. She tosses him a rocket launcher
which Leon immediately grabs, no time to speak to Ada
now. He turns and fires the rocket at Mr X, blowing it
into kingdom come.
As the power comes back on, Leon sees that Ada has
vanished. With less than three minutes until detonation,
he hurries back to the train.
CLAIRE A –GAME
Claire finally defeats Birkin once more as her elevator
arrives. With the base shaking and exploding all around
her, she rides to the lower levels. Arriving on the
platform, she sees that the train has just started up and
is moving off. Leon is in the cabin and screams at her to
get onboard, which she manages, just.
UNOFFICIAL EVENTS
After helping Leon one final time and watching him
escape, Ada makes her own way out of the lab.
CLAIRE A – GAME
As the train hurtles down the tunnel, the underground
Raccoon City lab obliterates behind them. Claire hurries
to administer the Devil vaccine to Sherry, upon which she
instantly recovers from her fever.
LEON B – GAME
Leon is relieved they have made it but Claire says she
still has to find her brother. Leon nods and goes up to
the cabin alone to say his final farewell to Ada when
suddenly, there is a small explosion and the train’s
computer system announces that bio-hazardous material is
onboard and activates a countdown of two minutes upon
which the train will explode. The computer automatically
locks all the doors, trapping Leon on his own. He races
to the back of the train where he finds a mass of
tentacles forcing their way inside. It is the Birkin
monster once more. Leon uses his last remaining rocket on
the beast before retreating back towards the locked
cabin.
Claire meanwhile tries to access the driver’s cabin to
stop the train but it is locked. Sherry sees what Claire
is trying to do and squeezes through a small ventilation
hole.
With nowhere to go, and the monster seemingly digesting
the train as it pushes itself onward, Leon climbs up onto
the train’s roof and makes for the driver’s compartment.
Birkin squashes the door to the cabin and has almost
reached Claire, who in desperation climbs down onto the
underside of the train and holds on to the railings, her
body just centimetres from the ground.
In the driver’s cabin, Sherry is contemplating which
button to press when Leon opens the roof hatch above and
tells her to push the emergency brake. The train
screeches to a halt and all three of the survivors
disembark and sprint for the mouth of the tunnel. They
emerge into the bright sunshine of the desert as behind
them the train blows up, taking the G-Type Birkin with it
and this time for good.
Tired, wounded, but alive. The trio pick themselves up
and Leon urges them to get moving, saying its up to them
to take out Umbrella.
RE3: CLAIRE EPILOGUE
As Claire, Leon and Sherry begin to head out across the
desert, they expect to be picked up by the military. An
argument between Leon and Claire occurs due to Claire
wanting to avoid the authorities and Leon stressing that
both he and Sherry need immediate medical attention and
rest. In the end, Leon tells her to go alone if she wants
to find Chris. He and Sherry will stay here. She promises
to come back for both of them before heading off into the
distance alone.
UNOFFICIAL EVENTS
Having barely escaped the lab, Ada Wong finds herself
back in Raccoon City. Badly injured and suffering blood
loss, she finds a place to lay low and rest to recover
her strength. But she has the G-Virus sample. She has
time before she is to meet her contact at Apple Inn.
REOUT1: DECISIONS, DECISIONS: INTRO
AFTERNOON
At an undisclosed location, an Umbrella researcher named
Greg is typing away on a computer. He complains to
himself that an organisation like Umbrella can be harmed
by too much growth and that what should be important
becomes overshadowed by greed. He walks over to the test
tube where we see another tyrant in stasis. This one is
his own creation named Thanatos, the Greek term for
death. Greg scoffs at the idea of mass production and
states that one masterpiece is enough.
Meanwhile, some survivors are sheltering in the garage of
the RPD. One of them is George Hamilton. He looks over at
a wall which has been turned into a crude message board
by previous survivors. He is stunned to find a message to
him from his friend Peter Jenkins who works at Raccoon
University. He says he has information about the outbreak
which only George will understand. George leaves
immediately. Some time later Yoko Suzuki realises George
has gone and she along with Jim Chapman head out after
her. On route, they run into Kevin Ryman, who goes with
them.
RES: REPORT ON DESTROYED RACCOON CITY: NIGHT
Nicholai is waiting in the St Michael Clock Tower and
makes his report of the incident to HQ. The zombies have
overrun the city and it is safe to say Raccoon City has
been completely destroyed by the biohazard. He notes
however, that this incident is different to that of the
Spencer Mansion disaster due to the fact he believes
William Birkin intentionally caused this one. He
recommends that the security of the viruses in their
worldwide facilities must be improved and also all
Umbrella workers must be re-educated. He believes bioweapons will become Umbrella’s primary product and should
be treated as such. All personnel need to ensure another
biohazard does not occur.
“At this moment, I am in the clock tower situated above Raccoon City.
The city is overrun by zombies. It is safe to say that Raccoon City has
been completely destroyed due to the biohazard.
This situation is different from the accidental biohazard in the
mansion. We suspect that it was intentionally caused by one of our
company’s researchers. Dr. William Birkin, the creator of both the TVirus and G-Virus.
I have researched both biohazard incidents, and noticed that two
issues need to be addressed immediately. The security of the virus
stored in our worldwide facilities must be improved. Also, we need to
re-educate our workers.
Biological weapon viruses will surely become our primary product, so
they should be handled as such.
All personnel should take extreme care not to allow anymore
biohazards to happen.
U.B.C.S. Commander Nicholai Ginoveaf”
- Extracted from Report on Destroyed Raccoon City;
30/09/98.
RE3-FAX FROM THE HQ
Umbrella HQ sends out an emergency fax to the
Supervisor’s HQ in Raccoon Park. The US government have
voted to end the biohazard in the city with a nuclear
strike. Spencer and the higher-ups of the company can
delay the process no further.
“Attention. The Raccoon City project has been abandoned. Our political
manoeuvring in the Senate to delay their plans are now futile. All
supervisors should evacuate immediately. The US army is going to
execute their plan tomorrow morning. The city will be obliterated at
daybreak for sure.”

POST MIDNIGHT
RE3 – GAMEPLAY
Jill Valentine awakes to find herself in the chapel of
the ST Michael Clock Tower. A heavy rain is drumming down
on the roof and she sees that Carlos is by her side. She
knows she is infected with the T-Virus. Carlos says he
will try to find a way to help but Jill says that he has
to kill her when she turns. She rolls over and goes back
to sleep whilst Carlos heads out into the rain.
Outside the back of the clock tower and down a side
street stands the Raccoon Hospital. Carlos decides this
will be as good a place as any to look for a cure and
heads inside. The hospital houses a secret Umbrella lab
and in the lab he runs into Tyrell Patrick, a surviving
UBCS member. He is surprised to find a ‘guinea pig’ like
Carlos still alive and we see that he has been shot. He
tells Carlos it was Nicholai that shot him. He inputs a
code to open a safe and we see that it has been booby
trapped. A small charge goes off, knocking Carlos back
but Tyrell is caught in the explosion and his lifeless
body slumps to the floor.
Moving on, Carlos sees Umbrella is growing a new type of
Hunter dubbed ‘Gamma’ in stasis tubes in the lab. He
finds instructions for an antidote to the T-Virus and
makes it up.
As he leaves the hospital however, he sees that somebody
has planted explosive charges on the ground floor of the
hospital and the countdown only has seconds to go. Carlos
sprints for the exit and away from the building as it
crumbles down behind him. He knows it must have been
Nicholai who planted the explosives. He hurries back to
the chapel to administer the antidote to Jill. On the way
however, he has a run in with the Nemesis, now mutated
into another form following the heavy damage it has
sustained. Carlos manages to evade it and reaches Jill
where he injects her with the serum. After a while, Jill
wakes up and she seems to be okay. Carlos is relieved,
though tells her the bad news that both the Nemesis and
Nicholai are still alive. He says he doesn’t know what
Nicholai is up to but he is definitely their enemy.
Carlos then runs off, saying he needs to take care of a
few things. Jill takes a moment to get her strength back.
Bruised and battered, Ada Wong moves slowly through a
sewer. She is on her way to the Apple Inn where she is
due to meet a contact. She has the G-Virus sample and she
knows that is her ticket out of the city. Having been
lying low to recover from her injuries since Leon’s
escape, it is time for her to resume her mission.

On one of the main streets of Raccoon City, a Huey
transport helicopter lies parked on the street and two
people are in furious debate. The chopper’s pilot is
Rodriguez, a member of the Umbrella Special Service, the
same unit Hunk is in. He has stolen a cargo capsule
containing a deadly new prototype bio-weapon named the
‘Nyx’. The other person is Linda, a scientist who works
at Umbrella’s Hunter development lab. Rodriguez wants to
go but Linda says she needs to go back for the T-Virus
vaccine sample. Rodriguez reluctantly agrees but says he
won’t wait round for long as Umbrella will be looking for
him. Linda hurries back to the lab alone.
REOUT2 – WRITTEN ORDERS
An Umbrella officer named Tommy Neilson is given orders
by Umbrella to track down Rodriguez and recover the Nyx
before he escapes Raccoon City.
“To: Tommy Neilson
It’s come to our attention that the cargo dock under your command
was used for the disposal of that experiment. We must ensure that
that information is not leaked.
Commander Rodriguez of the 2nd USS Division has been revealed as
the ringleader, and his authority has been stripped as of today. You
are hereby assigned the duty of finding responsible parties. Do not
fail.
Our information is sketchy, but someone has helped Rodriguez and his
conspirators escape. Explore all possible leads: his family, children in
the neighbourhood, etc. Of course you are sworn to absolute secrecy.
This company does not tolerate those who try to soil its reputation. If
you want to wake up in the morning, I suggest you do as you are
told and do it well.”

RE3 – JILL GAME
With her strength recovered, Jill leaves the chapel and
finds the Nemesis waiting for her. After evading it once
more she makes her way to the Raccoon City Park. It is
full of zombies and hunters and she takes shelter in a
nearby hut belonging to park security. Behind the
fireplace however, she discovers the secret HQ of the
UBCS ‘Supervisors’, elite hand picked agents ordered to
collect battle data on the soldiers against the BOW, the
true purpose of their presence in Raccoon City,
expendable guinea pigs, just like everyone else. The room
is filled with maps and charts with key locations marked
throughout the city including the hospital and police
station. There are numerous reports left by the
supervisors though the place is empty at present.
“The endurance ability of the contaminated guinea pigs is truly
incredible. Even when shot in a vital area, they can sometimes survive
for several days without taking care of the wound.
However, after prolonged exposure to the virus, the guinea pigs
intelligence level decreases to that of an insect.
Even though reviving the dead seems too disgusting, the virus may still
be of use. If we inject the virus into our POWs and release them, they
would return to their units and then turn into zombies. This plan may
work well for us in the future.
In certain areas, the virus seems to have caused the mutation of
animals and plants. It may be difficult, but it’ll make a good sample
for the bio weapon development. I’ve heard that there is a giant
alligator, but I have only encountered a giant creature moving
underground. I don’t even want to imagine what creature spawned that
monster.
I encountered ‘NEMESIS’. If I didn’t know about it, I’d have been
contaminated and would have become one of them by now. If it is
still walking around in the city, its mission is not yet over. S.T.A.R.S.
members must be very tough, since they have survived until this point.
However, they cannot hold out forever…”
- Extract taken from Supervisor’s Report; undated.
She also reads a fax which states that the mission must
be aborted due to the city being obliterated on the
morning of October 1st. A radio transmission sounds
requesting all supervisors to return immediately.
RE3-GAMEPLAY
REOUT1-ORDERS
As she leaves, she bumps into Nicholai, who confirms his
position as a supervisor. He tells Jill he has no
intention of helping her before he runs off after hearing
the sound of the grave digger mutant moving around
outside. His destination is Raccoon University, where he
has a small mission to accomplish.
“1. Battle Plan: Emperor’s Mushroom
Area of Operation: within 4 blocks of Raccoon U.
Time: 60 minutes, starting at 5:35am
Arms Basic armament: C2+Extractor
Purpose to gather T’s blood {code name: T-blood} or to kill and
retrieve its body.
Supplementary information:
Biggest priority of the operation is to gather T-blood and erase all of
T’s traces. If the body is deemed to difficult to recover, destroy it and
the general area.”
- Taken from Orders; 01/10/98
RE3 – GAMEPLAY
Jill steps out and faces the monster, defeating it by
knocking down a lamppost and electrocuting it.
REOUT2 – END OF THE ROAD: GAME
Linda arrives back at the lab to see plumber David King
battering a zombie with a lead pipe. It seems that he and
security guard Mark Wilkins stumbled into this Umbrella
lab whilst looking for an escape route from the city.
David has just saved the life of another researcher named
Carter. Carter has the sample and Linda says they need to
go, telling David and Mark they can hitch a ride on their
chopper when suddenly an alarm sounds, and shutters come
down, sealing off many areas of the lab. They all run to
the examination room where Linda types on a computer
saying some Hunters have escaped and that is why the
shutters have come down. She says they can leave via the
east exit with her key. Carter has gone on ahead saying
he has an idea, though she doesn’t know what it is.
Moving through the facility, dodging the rogue Hunters
and bypassing a laser emitting security system, David
catches up with Carter in the observation room. His plan
is to activate a ‘Mr X’ type Tyrant and re-programme it
to take out all the Hunters, allowing them to escape
safely. Linda isn’t so sure, but Carter says there is
nothing to worry about and watches in awe as the huge
humanoid creature destroys the Hunters in its path. He
says he has fitted Mr X with a little surprise, a remote
bomb activated by remote control in case of emergency.
They move off together, Mr X taking care of the Hunters
and eventually arrive at the east exit. However, Mr X is
beginning to malfunction, and suddenly attacks Carter,
knocking the remote control from his hand. He also
attacks Linda, knocking her over the railing and falling
down to the waterworks system below. Mr X then smashes
the vial containing the vaccine sample before finishing
off Carter. Knowing he can’t defeat the Tyrant, David
runs off, entering the waterworks to find Linda.
REOUT2: END OF THE ROAD: GAME
In the sewer, David is reunited with Mark and they
eventually find Linda unconscious on the floor. She tells
him that she can remember how to make up for of the TVirus vaccine, but it will only matter now if she can
escape the city. Suddenly, the floodgates open and they
are washed away down the tunnel as a torrent of sewage
water rushes into the complex
REOUT1: DECISIONS, DECISIONS: GAME
Kevin, Jim and Yoko reach the university and find it
deserted with only a handful of zombies roaming the
corridors. There is no sign of George or anyone else.
After a bit of searching, they discover a secret passage
leading to a hidden room. There they find George’s
friend, Peter. His throat has been cut and he is
surrounded by papers on a possible vaccine for the TVirus dubbed ‘Daylight’. Apparently, they need three
components to make it up and so they split up to look for
them. Yoko and Jim search the water purification centre
near the waterfront whilst Kevin checks the old subway
tunnels and the air exhaust tower below.
RE3: GAME
Moving on through the park, Jill eventually arrives at
the Dead Factory but as she crosses the bridge the
relentless Nemesis is blocking her path once more. Taking
her chances, Jill jumps off and plunges into the river
below. Up above, the Nemesis turns and heads towards the
factory, biding its time.
As they search the waterworks, Yoko and Jim find George.
But he has been mortally wounded and is dying. He speaks
to them both briefly before losing consciousness. They
continue onwards.
REOUT1: DECISIONS, DECISIONS: PRE-DAWN: 5:45AM
REOUT1 – ORDERS
Eventually both parties find the P-Base and the V-poison
and make their way back up to the university. They spy
the Thanatos tyrant engaged in battle with a UBCS squad.
As the fire fight ensures, Nicholai Ginoveaf, who has
made his way here from the park, takes up a sniper’s
position on a balcony ledge. He fires a dart into the
neck of Thanatos and a small syringe extracts a blood
sample. This sends the tyrant wild and it decimates the
UBCS squad before running back into the university.
Nicholai is surprised at this action and wonders if it is
going to find Greg, its creator. He needs to recover that
sample and head towards the Dead Factory where his escape
chopper is waiting. He doesn’t have much time.
RE3: GAME
Jill enters the Dead Factory and runs into Carlos, who
saves her life yet again, and tells her its becoming a
full time job for him. He also tells her that a missile
is going to destroy the city as soon as day breaks. They
split up and search the factory to look for a means of
escape.
REUC – DEATH’S DOOR: GAME
Ada Wong finally reaches the Apple Inn where she
discovers her contact is already dead. He appears to have
shot himself. However, Wesker is waiting for her, in the
form of a live video link. He says her contact was weak
and chose death. He also accuses her of betraying ‘The
Organisation’ in wasting so much of her time helping Leon
Kennedy. Ada produces the G-Virus sample and Wesker is
intrigued, it seems despite some setbacks she still has
some use. He tells her that a government launched missile
will soon obliterate the city and that soon, an Umbrella
officer is to be leaving the city via helicopter, and she
needs to be on that chopper otherwise she will not escape
the city. He activates a switch and a grapple gun is
released from a suitcase. Before signing off, Wesker says
it is in their best interests that she survives, that GVirus sample is required.
As she prepares to leave, Ada wonders what would happen
if the G-Virus ever got out.
Kevin and co re-enter the university to find Thanatos
waiting for them, but they manage to lure it under an
electrical charge and knock it unconscious. They take
Nicholai’s intended blood sample and hurry upstairs to
the lab to make up the ‘daylight’ vaccine.
Once it is ready however, Greg is waiting for them. He
has been monitoring their progress and thanks them for
doing all the hard work in making up the sample for him.
It is the only resource against the T-Virus and he won’t
give it over to Umbrella, condemning the whole ‘T’
project as a disaster. He also taunts Yoko, saying that
what happened two years ago was so terrible he doesn’t
blame her for wanting it erased from her memory.
Suddenly, a red dot appears on his head and a single
silenced gunshot goes off from somewhere above, killing
Greg instantly. His assassin is Nicholai, who is lurking
somewhere in the roofing. His mission over, he hurries
back toward the Dead Factory.
Kevin, Yoko and Jim grab the Daylight and prepare to
leave when they realise Nicholai has rigged the whole
university with explosive charges. Using Greg’s computer,
they manage to unlock all the doors and escape just as
the bomb goes off, trapping the Thanatos under a mountain
of rubble.
REOUT2: WRITTEN ORDERS
David emerges from the sewer and out onto the main
street. He finds Rodriguez’s huey and he tells David to
find Linda quickly.
Linda meanwhile, is on her way back but is mistaken for a
zombie by a UBCS Commander named Arnold, who is taking
pot shots at the creatures with a sniper rifle. He shoots
her in the leg, and she manages to crawl into the Apple
Inn for cover. Up above on the viaduct, Arnold realises
he has just shot a human but he doesn’t care. A man in a
suit comes over, asking just what the hell he is doing.
His name is Tommy Neilson and he has been given orders to
find Rodriguez and the Nyx with the Arnold’s squad, now
the last unit left alive in the city.
Mr X has come out of the sewer and is prowling the
streets for the survivors when he suddenly mutates into
his true form, stronger, bigger, faster and much more
aggressive.
RE3: GAME
Whilst, searching the factory, Jill bumps into Nicholai,
who has just arrived back from his trip to the
university. He fires a few shots at her, forcing her into
cover as he then locks himself in the radio room. Jill
now has to find an ID card to get inside which she finds
in the treatment room, after having yet another battle
with the Nemesis, who this time, seems to be dead for
good.
As Jill leaves the room, a warning goes off stating that
a missile attack is imminent. She will have to hurry, the
order has been given.
Arnold has just heard that Code XX has been put into
effect and he is furious at Neilson for not telling him.
Neilson replies that he kept telling him to hurry. Arnold
starts to walk off, realising this job is a lot hotter
than what he expected. Neilson asks him where he is
going; they need to recover the Nyx. The Commander isn’t
interested any more. All he wants to do is get out of the
city and so he leaves Neilson alone.
David and Mark meanwhile, have reached the Apple Inn and
find the wounded Linda. With him supporting her and Mark
covering them, they begin their journey back towards
Rodriguez’s huey before it’s too late.
Ada fights her way through the streets and up to the
viaduct where Arnold and Neilson were arguing earlier.
However, she is spotted by the Mr X Tyrant that has been
tracking Linda and David. After a brief battle, she is
able to knock it down and escape. Up above, she spots the
helicopter Wesker was telling her about. Using her
grapple gun, she reaches higher ground and fires onto the
crate underneath the chopper which contains the recovered
Umbrella Mainframe. Climbing up to the crate, she remains
unseen by Sergei Vladimir and hitches a ride out of town
as the missile gets ever closer.
RE3: GAME
Jill finally accesses the radio room and there is a
message waiting for her. Flicking on the com she hears
Nicholai gloating at her. He has got himself a helicopter
and is preparing to leave. All the dead bodies of the
UBCS in the park was his handy work apparently, and with
him being the only supervisor left alive the bonus
situation will be much better for him at HQ. He also
tells her Umbrella is offering a modest reward for the
confirmation of her death. He fires the chopper’s guns at
Jill but he cannot reach her. He then turns and flies off
into the night, saying she is doomed anyway because of
the incoming missile.
Carlos reappears and Jill tells him that Nicholai has
escaped in the helicopter. Even though failure now seems
inevitable, Carlos refuses to give up and frantically
tries to reach someone on the radio. Suddenly and very
unexpectedly, another message comes in, from someone
claiming to be from STARS and looking specifically for
Jill. It couldn’t be Chris or Brad, could it be Barry?
Jill uses a radar receiver to track the incoming missile
before heading outside.
REOUT2: END OF THE ROAD – GAME
Not able to wait any longer, Rodriguez takes off and
begins to fly away when Neilson appears on one of the
rooftops, brandishing a stinger missile launcher. He
fires at the Huey and Rodriguez manages to swerve the
chopper so the missile just misses yet catches the chain
holding the Nyx capsule below. The chain snaps and the
capsule falls to the ground below. Rodriguez curses, yet
he has no time to retrieve it and he leaves the city.
Meanwhile, the UBCS unit minus Arnold are moving slowly
forward to secure the capsule when it suddenly dents from
the inside and a host of sharp tentacles burst out from
within and spear the team before dragging their bodies
slowly towards the capsule to be consumed.
RE3: GAME
Jill runs through the scrap yard, finding the bodies of
several Umbrella Mr X type Tyrants and a platoon of US
Army soldiers. It seems this was the meeting point for
them to extract William Birkin yet they had walked into a
trap. Their primary weapon, a rail cannon named
Paracelsus Sword, was the reason they managed to kill so
many of the Tyrants in battle.
As Jill enters the building however, what is left of the
Nemesis follows her inside and begins its final mutation.
However, it has taken heavy damage and is not as fast as
it once was. Jill powers up the rail cannon and uses it
to finish off the creature. For good measure, she empties
a colt python loader into its corpse, ensuring it won’t
rise up again before heading out of the back exit.
REOUT1: DECISIONS, DECISIONS – GAME
Meanwhile, two firemen are in a rescue chopper making a
final sweep over this portion of the city. They witness
the university explosion and head over where they spot
the three survivors. They shout over the megaphone to get
to the courtyard where they will land. However, the
Thanatos isn’t dead yet and rises from the rubble ready
to finish them off once and for all. They manage to fight
it back and knock it down, although Jim is badly injured
in the encounter.
After seeing Rodriguez leave without them, Linda, David
and Mark decide to head for the viaduct leading to the
city limits; however, Linda’s injury is making their
progress slow. They are suddenly ambushed by the mutated
form of Mr X and it spears Mark to death, toying with his
corpse as David and Linda get away.
They finally arrive at the viaduct. David leaves Linda in
a safe place whilst he checks the area out to make sure
it is safe. There are a few jeeps scattered about,
perhaps they can use one to escape.
REOU1: DECISIONS, DECISIONS – GAME
The helicopter lands at the university as Thanatos gets
up yet again. Realising the only way to kill it is with
the Daylight vaccine. They load it into an ampoule
shooter from the chopper and blast it into the creature’s
heart, dropping it down for good.
As they prepare to board the chopper, Kevin stops Jim. He
knows they are both infected and they cannot leave. Jim
slowly nods. Yoko boards the chopper and promises to
expose this whole affair, leaving the two men behind.
RE3 –GAME
Jill arrives back outside to see Carlos waiting for her.
He uses a flare to signal down the approaching
helicopter.
Mr X Tyrant has regained consciousness following its
brief battle with Ada Wong, yet the escaped Nyx is now
waiting at the viaduct also and it engulfs the hapless
Tyrant, absorbing the creature and making the Nyx even
stronger. It attacks David, who fortunately utilizes a
heavy arsenal of weapons left behind by the deceased UBCS
squad. Even through he is injured in the battle,
eventually the Nyx falls. With no time to spare, he
hurries back for Linda.
REOUT1: DECISIONS, DECISIONS: EPILOGUE
Yoko sits solemnly in the helicopter as it flies away and
thinks about a premonition she once had about Raccoon
City being destroyed. She also replays the words what
Greg had said to her over and over again.
Back on the ground, Jim can’t believe that they actually
chose to stay behind. Kevin is silent and just inspects
his weapon and Jim asks why he got stuck with him instead
of a fine looking woman.
Suddenly, the remains of Thanatos rise impossibly from
the ground. Jim can’t believe it. Kevin allows himself a
sly grin and aims his gun, telling Jim lets finish this
off like men, just as behind him, the missile bears down
on the city.
RE3: EPILOGUE
Jill and Carlos strap themselves into the chopper as it
rises and takes off towards the horizon. Jill goes to
thank the pilot and realises that it’s none other than
Barry Burton, who has come back into the city to look for
her. They see the missile approaching the city in the
background.
Jill also spots Sergei’s helicopter carrying UMF 13 and
Ada Wong on top of it.
REUC – DEATH’S DOOR: EPILOGUE
As Ada hangs onto the crate, she realises it’s the
Umbrella mainframe, inside the chopper, Sergei Vladimir
is in conversation with an unknown senior Umbrella
officer. He calls Sergei unstable for stealing a computer
from his own company. Sergei is calm, responding that all
of history’s heroes have been unstable. Now that he has
recovered UMF-13 and the Red Queen, Umbrella can start
over once more.
REOUT2 – END OF THE ROAD: GAME
David secures the injured Linda in the jeep before
hitting the accelerator. The jeep lurches forward,
picking up speed as they enter the tunnel taking them out
of the city. Behind them, the sky lights up as the
missile impacts.
RE3 – EPILOGUE
REOUT1 – DECISIONS, DECISIONS: EPILOGUE
REOUT2 – END OF THE ROAD: EPILOGUE
The missile impacts in the centre of town; blinding light
is soon followed by a colossal explosion as Raccoon City
is systematically wiped from the globe. Jill, Barry and
Carlos barely make it out alive, Jill damning Umbrella
for going too far. Yoko Suzuki also makes it out by
chopper, whilst David King and Linda escape by jeep.
RE – DEG
As crowds gather to watch the inferno over the mountains,
an anguished Curtis Miller is distraught as he knows his
wife and child were still in the city. His sister Angela
is also by his side, horrified by what has just taken
place.
RE3 – EPILOGUE
RE-DEG: NEWS REPORT
The news is dominated by the Raccoon City disaster which
it turned out was an authorised strike by the US
Government. The newscaster reports that the death toll
has surpassed the 100,000 mark.
“And now we have a rather unfortunate turn of events. It seems that
the President and federal council have passed judgement over the
citizens of Raccoon City. The President and federal council have ruled
the bacillus-terminate operation is the best course of action for this
extreme situation and have since, executed it.
Based on that fact, Raccoon City has been literally wiped off the map.
Current reports have the death toll surpassing the 100,000 mark. Our
hearts go out to those poor civilians of Raccoon City…”
- Taken from a News Report, RE3 Epilogue; 01/10/98.
“According to unconfirmed reports, the missile was allegedly nuclear. If
this is indeed the case then there is little hope of finding any
survivors amongst the city’s 100,000 inhabitants.”

RE5 – SPENCER’S NOTEBOOK
Ozwell E. Spencer hears about the bombing of Raccoon City
and is disgusted by the actions of the US Government. He
knows now that it will only be a matter of time before
Umbrella is dissolved. However, if Spencer can ensure
that the secret of the Progenitor Virus is kept, he can
always rebuild afresh. He plans to close down the African
facility where Director Brandon Bailey still resides
after 30 years and sever all its ties from Umbrella. That
way the Progenitor Virus will never be purged by
outsiders. Unfortunately, this means he has to get rid of
everyone in the company that know’s of the facility’s
existence. But it is a small price to pay to ensure the
secrets of the Progenitor Virus remain a secret.
“I just received word that Raccoon City has been wiped out. The
Americans finally took action against us. I hope the irony of using the
very military machine that was supposed to protect them from foreign
attackers to kill their own people is not lost on them.
While the danger posed by the threat of the T-Virus spreading was
very real, I don't think Americans will easily forgive their government
for the deaths of over 100,000 of their own people.
If the truth of this matter is ever brought to light, support for the
current administration will plummet. I don't think he wants that.
Even a child can see that they will come after Umbrella with
everything they have. To hide their own foolish mistakes, they will
blame Umbrella for Raccoon City's annihilation.
It would seem Umbrella will share Raccoon City's fate, but perhaps it
will be to a lesser degree.
Umbrella was nothing but a tool for the research of the Progenitor
virus. Even without that tool, the research still survives.
Only Umbrella's lowly employees will be hurt by its dissolution.
If the secret research involving the Progenitor virus is protected, then I
can always rebuild anew. I've already made preparations for such a
plan.
The research facility in Africa remains a secret, and it is there that
the Progenitor virus is produced, something that we didn't achieve until
the late 80s.
Only a handful of people in the company are even aware of the
African facility's existence thanks to our strict regulation of the flow of
information. Only a minimum amount of personnel were ever
transferred from Africa to other locations, and they were always
closely monitored.
Director Bailey has been confined to the African facility for almost 30
years, and even that has all been for this day.
All that remains is to close that facility and everything will go
according to my plan.
Once that facility is gone, all its connections to Umbrella will
disappear with it. Then I will have to deal with anyone who has a
Level 10 security clearance as they are the only ones who know of
the African facility's existence. Everyone else will be summarily
disposed of.
My secrets will be protected. When one buries a treasure, one should
not leave behind a map.”

capture, she ends up in Albert Wesker’s organisation.
Wesker knows there is something special about this little
girl and she is of course the only person in the world
with immunity to the G-Virus.
”Do you have any relatives?”
When the army officer asked her, Sherry Birkin did not respond for
she had no immediate relatives. Her father and mother died because
of the G-Virus. And so, this little girl holds herself with her arm and
bites her lip tight. She thinks, “I’m sure she will come back. She won’t
forget me…”

because of the sample, however, she believes her
partnership with Wesker will last a little while longer
yet.
“A woman looks at herself in the mirror. She used to be called Ada
Wong. But this morning she will say goodbye to that name. “I’m not
Ada Wong anymore…”
She feels her ab and thinks, “This is Ada’s scar, not mine.”
As she says goodbye to Ada Wong, she can’t stop her tears. However,
there isn’t much time before her next mission…”

SUNDAY OCTOBER 4TH
RES-RESTAURANT MANAGER’S DIARY
A restaurant manager on Sheena Island hears about the
Raccoon City incident. There are rumours that Umbrella
were behind the whole thing and he feels uneasy as
Umbrella also own Sheena Island.
“I heard an unbelievable story. A small town in America, Raccoon City,
was destroyed last week. They said that all the residents turned into
zombies and the city is now completely deserted.
Umbrella Inc. is rumoured to be behind the incident, but I don’t know
the details.
Although the incident occurred far from here across the sea, I can’t
help but feel anxiety if Umbrella is truly behind it. I hope this city will
be okay…”
- Extracted from Restaurant Manager’s Diary; 04/10/98.
TUESDAY OCTOBER 6TH
The restaurateur hears more rumours about the incident
and that company elite William Birkin was responsible for
the disaster, buy spilling his own virus through the
sewerage system.
“I heard another interesting story. This one is about William Birkin, who
supposedly destroyed Raccoon City. He was the creator of the virus
called T, or G, or whatever. He tried to use the virus for his own
purposes.
Unbelievable as it may seem, he injected the virus into his own body
and turned into a monster.
Also, the virus leaked into the sewer, and it is rumoured that rats
spread the virus around the entire city.”

RES-REPORT ON DESTROYED RACCOON CITY
UBCS Supervisor Nicholai Ginoveaf writes up a detailed
report on the Raccoon incident and the immediate
aftermath, noting how difficult it is recovering all the
sample data for T-Virus infection. He comments on how
Nemesis surpassed all expectations and expects the data
collected to help create an even more powerful BOW.
“We’ve had extreme difficulties collecting the sample data for T-Virus
contamination and tactical data regarding the B.O.W. The new B.O.W
we call “Nemesis” was more ferocious and intelligent than we had
expected. As a result, many UBCS members sent to the area have
been sacrificed in the process of collecting combat data.
I expect the researchers to analyze the combat data and use it to
develop an even more evolved, ultimate B.O.W.”

Nicholai Ginoveaf; 06/10/98.
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 7TH
RES-CHURCH MANAGER’S DIARY
The heads of each section of the city on Sheena Island
meet with Commander Goldman to discuss the Raccoon
biohazard. They all agree that they must be vigilant and
steps must be taken to prevent any such incident
occurring on Sheena, as due to the Tyrant manufacturing
plant, this island is much more important to Umbrella
than Raccoon City ever was.
“Today, the leaders of each section of the city, including myself,
attended a meeting with the Commander. The briefing was on the
destruction of Raccoon City.
During the conference, everyone placed blame on William Birkin. He
betrayed the company and wanted to keep the G-Virus for himself.
The Commander told us that if there is a traitor like Birkin in this city
we should execute him immediately and without question.
I wholeheartedly agree with the Commander’s orders. This city is as
vital to Umbrella as that laboratory in Raccoon City was. No…it is
actually much more important.
We must not allow a biohazard to happen in this city. We cannot let
Umbrella’s efforts to buy the city and establish these billion-dollar
facilities go to waste. We should keep a closer eye on the behaviour
of personnel in the future.”

THURSDAY OCTOBER 8TH
The restaurant owner discovers that T-Virus is being kept
on the island. He decides to pack up and leave Sheena
before its too late. He needs to get away from Umbrella.
“What should I do? One of the Umbrella workers who came here for
lunch mentioned that the T-Virus IS on this island. He said that there’s
no possibility that an accident could occur here in this city, but…I’m
not so sure.
I decided to work for Umbrella because of the money. But now I’ve
grown tired of opening my restaurant for only Umbrella workers. There
is nothing new or interesting left for me in this town. I guess it’s time
to get out of here before its too late…”

FRIDAY OCTOBER 9TH
RES-YOUNG MAN’S DIARY
The prisoners on Sheena Island decide to execute their
escape plan tonight, citing the Umbrella workers’
distraction over the Raccoon City disaster as their best
chance of success as security is minimal. They will split
up into two different groups; each taking a different
route out, hoping at least one of them will make it
outside.
“The time has come. I’ve noticed the Umbrella people have been
visibly disturbed for about a week or so. Rumour has it there was a
terrible accident at an Umbrella laboratory somewhere in America. All
the prison guards seem to be very busy gathering information on the
accident, so security isn’t as tight.
We’ve organised our comrades already. Stojkovic and Enriquez are
supposed to steal the keys from the guards. Sankhon and I will act as
decoys, and Yoshikawa and Fellipe are in charge of gathering
weapons.
We have decided our escape route. The plan will be carried out at
11pm tonight. We have twenty members separated into two units: Unit
A and Unit B. Unit A will go into the sewer through the ventilation slot
of the confinement room, while Unit B will use a rope to climb down
the surveillance tower.
We’ll use the rope they used to tie us. If we fail, Vincent will surely kill
us. But if we stay here, Vincent will order them to cut our brains
eventually. We’re dead either way, but I’d rather die trying to escape…”

However, their actions do not run according to plan and
all twenty of them are found and executed by Commander
Goldman.

Goldman is worried what his bosses will say about last
night’s incident and so orders the Prison Chief to
fabricate the report as a mass suicide.
“Last night, a group of guinea pigs confined in the prison escaped,
took weapons, and caused a riot. The guinea pigs responsible for the
incident were all shot to death by myself, but it will cause a lot of
trouble if Umbrella headquarters becomes aware of this.
This could spoil my plan of returning to headquarters and collecting
my reward for my great achievements in this city. I ordered the prison
chief to report the incident as a mass suicide, but I will also have to
order the others who are involved not to talk about it…”

RECVX OFFICIAL STRATEGY GUIDE-NICHOLAI’S REPORT
Nicholai Ginoveaf sends a detailed fax to Alfred Ashford
on Rockfort Island. He comments on the success of the
Tyrant Virus as a bio-weapon and the danger posed to
Umbrella by the surviving STARS members. He also warns
Ashford about the activities of Claire Redfield, and how
she somehow managed to obtain the G-Virus vaccine.
“October 13th 1998
To: Lord Ashford, Commander-in-Chief, Rockfort Island Prison Facility.
From: UBCS Commander N. Ginovaef.
Sir Alfred,
I am sending this letter per your request to relate the information I
was able to gather during the events that occurred in the town that
was recently sterilized by nuclear bombardment, Raccoon City. This
document also contains a warning being issued company-wide
regarding the surviving members of the Raccoon City Police
Department’s S.T.A.R.S unit. The acronym stands for “Special Tactics
and Rescue Service”.
As ordered, I led my Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Services
rescue team into the quarantine zone to engage the infected
population in armed combat. I successfully convinced my men to
believe that we were infiltrating the contaminated area to attempt to
find and rescue uninfected civilians during the crisis. As expected, the
entire team was wiped out during ground combat with T-Virus infected
monsters. The virus had spread so quickly to such a large number of
the population that the U.B.C.S team was overwhelmed, almost
immediately after landing via helicopter. In addition to the small
amount of Bio-Organic-Weapon data I was able to obtain, the short
amount of time it took for the zombies to eradicate my team should
make you and the Board feel secure in the success of the company’s
T-Virus.
During the contamination crisis I was able to search the Umbrella
Sales Office that served as a front operation in Raccoon City and
procure files containing the following information:
1. The initial contamination event was caused by an outbreak of
the T-Virus at the Spencer Mansion. I was not able to ascertain
the exact cause of the outbreak, but documents speculated that
Dr James Marcus, who was thought to have died several years
ago, might have orchestrated the accident. Dr Marcus reportedly
died {a second time} the day before the destruction of the
mansion.
2. Umbrella researcher Albert Wesker faithfully executed his orders
to cover up the outbreak at the mansion and lead the S.T.A.R.S
members into the zone to engage the B.O.W in combat.
However, several of the S.T.A.R.S team members were able to
escape the mansion before Wesker destroyed the facility.
Wesker was reported dead, killed by his own beloved Tyrant
prototype. However, we both know this information cannot be
true. Wesker is probably alive. His failure to contact Umbrella
following the incident means he is working with outside
agencies or for himself as a rogue operative.
3. The S.T.A.R.S team members who escaped the mansion
attempted to disclose information to the public regarding
Umbrella Inc’s involvement in the outbreak incident. The
surviving members of this police unit are Chris Redfield, Jill
Valentine, Barry Burton and Rebecca Chambers. I encountered
the girl Valentine while navigating through the infested city. If
she was able to escape the town before the nuclear missile
strike, it means that she was skilled enough to survive two
outbreaks of the T-virus! If the rest of the S.T.A.R.S members
are as talented, then these people pose the highest possible
threat to Umbrella’s ongoing research and operations. They
must be found and eliminated immediately.
4. The second T-Virus outbreak was caused by poor sanitation
conditions in the Umbrella research material disposal facility,
code named “Dead Factory”. In the future, the company must
take greater precautions in the liquidation of viral test subjects.
In further investigation since my escape from Raccoon City, I have
determined the following information:
5. The Umbrella Special Forces Unit assigned to obtain Dr. William
Birkin’s new G-Virus was eliminated as feared. I found their
bodies in the sewers. Apparently Birkin injected himself with his
own virus, and mutated into a monster. Then he hunted down
and killed the Special Forces agents. Only one man, a rather
virile and durable soldier code named “HUNK”, was able to
escape with a sample. He was unsuccessful in recovering the GVirus antidote. His poor attitude regarding the incident has been
noted in his personal record. Agent “HUNK” will report for
remedial duty there on Rockfort Island as requested.
6. A girl named Claire Redfield infiltrated the Birkin laboratory and
obtained the G-virus antidote. However, she reportedly used it
to save Birkin’s child. Apparently Birkin infected his own
daughter. The girl was reportedly saved, but this strange
behaviour of the G-virulent subject should be studied further
before more experiments are conducted.
Furthermore, I must warn you of a possible threat to all Umbrella
facilities. The background check requested by Mr. Spencer confirms
that Claire Redfield is the younger sister of Chris Redfield. She may
have entered Raccoon City in search of her brother. The current
whereabouts of Chris Redfield and Claire Redfield are unknown. It
can be predicted that if the sister has not yet found the brother,
she will continue looking for him by seeking to enter other
Umbrella buildings and facilities. Please prepare your soldiers
regarding this threat, so that the Redfield siblings do not infiltrate
the Rockfort Island facility undetected.
Sincerely,
Nicholai Ginovaef
U.B.C.S Commander.”

Back on Sheena Island, Lott Klein learns about Vincent’s
murdering of the prisoners. He cannot understand why they
were killed when his father told him Umbrella was trying
to help them.
“I heard Commander Vincent killed those people who tried to escape
from the prison. I wonder how such a thing happened? I know they
are inferior to us, but did we have to kill them? Is this what I believed
in? Umbrella and my dad were supposed to help the inferiors by
operating on them...why did he kill them?”

RES-PRISON CHIEF’S DIARY
The prison chief begins to regret his decision to coverup the murder or the guinea pigs by Commander Goldman.
But he is too frightened to oppose him. Umbrella HQ
replies to his report and they do not seem to suspect
anything amiss.
“Today, we received a reply to our report about the incident where 20
guinea pigs committed suicide the other day. The headquarters does
not seem to have any suspicions and say that they plan to gather
replacement guinea pigs soon.
It’s too late, but now I’m starting to regret that I sent a fake report of
a mass suicide incident, when it was actually a mass escape. However,
as long as I stay in this city, it means death to me if I dare to
oppose to Commander Vincent. I’ll never forget the cruel smile of
Vincent when he was shooting at the boys who tried to escape from
the prison on that night.
It looked as if he were killing a bunch of insects. Commander Vincent
is indeed a very cold-blooded person, just as he is rumoured to be.
He is a true murderer. I am in a position where I am supposed to
report the truth to headquarters, but I’m also afraid of Commander
Vincent...I don’t know what to do...”

“When I joined Umbrella Inc., I thought that I would be able to live
care-free for the rest of my life, being employed by this huge
corporation. It’s a joke that I ended up being a driver at a place like

With the whole Raccoon City incident thrown into the
public spotlight and the incident too big to cover-up and
ignore, the US Government finally begins to crack down on
Umbrella, resulting in the corporation receiving a
serious suspension of business decree. In time,
Umbrella’s stock prices would begin to fall and its
worldwide influence begin to decline.
A furious court battle begins, and the people testifying
against Umbrella include Raccoon City survivors and
former Umbrella employees Yoko Suzuki and Linda.
“After the Raccoon City incident, the U.S. Government issued an order
for Umbrella to cease and desist all operations. In response, Ozwell E.
Spencer hired the best lawyers money could buy and prepared false
witnesses to try and create the appearance of a conspiracy with which
to turn the public opinion away from Umbrella and toward the
government.
Survivors of the incident presented their testimonies, but the lack of
evidence, most of which had been wiped out in the eradication
operation, and the withholding of testimony by government employees,
who feared being implicated, made the case drag on without a
conclusion.”

In the aftermath of the Raccoon City incident, the
President of the United States resigns from his post
following allegations both the US Government and Umbrella
Incorporated were involved in the biohazard that
contaminated the city.
Ozwell Spencer relocates Umbrella’s main base to the
wastelands of Russia and firmly out of the public
spotlight. The base is under control of Sergei Vladimir.
Spencer authorises the release of funds to outfit the
base with a network of extensive underground laboratories
and factories with the whole plant modified for the
exclusive purpose of mass producing BOWs. The TALOS
project will now be based there and both the UMF-013 and
Red Queen AI will also be relocated to this location.
“Reporter: Mr President, what is the connection between Umbrella
Corporation and this biohazard incident?
President: No further questions at this time.”
- Extracted from a news conference broadcast; undated.
“Five years ago, the owner of the factory invested money in building a
huge underground research centre. Geological soil analysis shows that
there is a hard layer of rock salt which makes it ideal for the
construction of such a facility.”

RE5 – BSAA FILE
The Global Pharmaceutical Consortium, an organization
made up of pharmaceutical companies from across the globe
including Umbrella, Tricell and Wilpharma, is suddenly
looked upon with mistrust and negativity as Umbrella was
an executive board member. The GPC may also have ties to
‘The Organisation’ to which Wesker and Ada currently work
for.
“Following the annihilation of Raccoon City, Umbrella was hit hard with
multiple lawsuits for their involvement in the incident. But there was an
organization that was hit even harder by the fallout of the incident:
the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium, an organization comprised of
pharmaceutical companies from around the world.
Umbrellas development of and experimentation with Bio-Organic
Weapons (B.O.W.), along with the sale of those weapons on the black
market, caused people to distrust the Global Pharmaceutical
Consortium, and the fact the Umbrella was an executive board
member only deepened their misgivings.
If things had ended there, the consortium may have just escaped with
a tarnished reputation. But in today’s world, medicine is an integral
part of almost all medical procedures. The public is also quite
informed when it comes to which medications are trusted and which
are not. If the population loses trust in the pharmaceutical company
responsible for creating certain medications, it can quickly bankrupt
said company.”

After a very careful week, the leaders of Sheena Island

Now they can finally move against him.
“We realised that he is very intelligent and cautious. As a last resort,
though it was very dangerous for us, was to wiretap his phone
conversations. Finally we obtained evidence that was potent enough to
deprive him of his position…
This tape contains his phone conversations on the prison breaking
incident last month. It proves that he shot all those young people by
himself, and that he tried to hide the truth. Furthermore, this tape
reveals that before coming to this city, Vincent had killed his colleague
only for the purposes of his own promotion.
If we could hand this tape to the corporate people coming to the city
next week, he will lose his position for sure. Then the city will be
peaceful once again.”

RE5 – RESEARCH CENTRE DIRECTOR BRANDON’S JOURNAL
Following orders from Spencer, the Umbrella African
Research Centre is closed down. Facility Director Brandon
Bailey, whom has been there for thirty years, is
indifferent to the whole thing and ponders just how much
of his life he has wasted. He knows now that the day he
stopped caring was over ten years ago in the summer of
1988 when he had been informed that Dr Marcus had died.
It is apparent that he never knew that Marcus was
murdered by Umbrella, nor any knowledge of his apparent
resurrection earlier this year.
“We’ve closed down the Research Centre.
It’s strange, but I don’t really care. I’m indifferent to the whole thing. I
feel the same way as when I heard that the Arklay Facility and
Raccoon City were destroyed. When did I become so apathetic?
I’ve spent every waking moment researching and extracting the
Progenitor Virus. Everything I did was for Dr. Marcus.
Actually, when I think about it, I probably stopped caring the day I
heard he had died all those years ago.
I didn’t feel angry or happy or even shocked; I felt nothing at all. It
was as if all my emotions had just shut down. I just kept sending out
samples of the Progenitor Virus to all of Umbrella’s laboratories. I was
just an automated machine reporting to Umbrella Headquarters every
time one of my subordinates made a breakthrough or discovered
something new.
I was like a zombie ambling through life. No thoughts, no feelings.
And now the Research Centre where I’ve spent half my life is closed.
I really don’t care one way or another.
It’s probably all for the best. Perhaps it is too late to have any
semblance of life again.”

THE SHEENA ISLAND INCIDENT: 24TH-25TH NOVEMBER 1998
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 24TH: NIGHT
RES – GAME
Private Eye Ark Thompson infiltrates the main Umbrella
office on Sheena Island. He breaks into the office of
Island Commander Vincent Goldman and begins to snoop
around. Goldman however, comes into his office and
catches him at it. They have a scuffle and Ark manages to
get away, but not before Goldman grabs hold of his dog
tags.
RES - INTRO
As the zombies shuffle around on the streets far below,
Ark races to his helicopter and starts to lift off when
Goldman appears hot on his heels and grabs hold of the
landing struts as the chopper takes off across the city.
Whilst hanging on with one hand, Goldman aims his gun and
fires at the cockpit and the shots hit something vital
which makes the chopper spin out of control. Goldman
cannot hold on any longer and falls to his death below.
Ark cannot keep control any longer and the chopper crash
lands in a ball of flame and Ark is thrown clear of the
wreckage.
RES – GAME
Some time later, Ark regains consciousness and gets to
his feet. He is suffering from amnesia and cannot
remember his name or why he is here. Moving through the
streets he finds a body on the floor. It is Goldman;
still brandishing Ark’s dog tags making Ark believe the
body is him.
A zombie appears behind him, cutting off his
investigation of the body. He kills it and retreats into
a church. An Umbrella logo is on the wall and the back is
full of giant spiders.
Leaving via a back door, a payphone begins to ring yet
when he tries to answer it the line goes dead
immediately.
Moving on, it becomes clear someone is watching him as
another phone begins to ring. This time there is a voice
on the other end, and calls Ark Vincent, and that he is a
murderer. Ark is shocked and the line goes dead once
more.
Meanwhile, two unmarked, black helicopters arrive into
the city and a squad of cleaners from Umbrella rappel
down on zip lines armed with automatic weapons ready to
kill anything that moves. Two of them corner Ark in an
arcade when two sudden shots ring out and the soldiers
fall dead to the floor. Ark looks out the window to see a
man with a sniper rifle in the library across the street.
However, his saviour then turns to attacker and tries to
shoot Ark, who ducks out of the way.
WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 25TH
EARLY AM
RES – GAME
Ark heads over to the library and meets janitor Andy
Holland, who believes him to be Vincent Goldman, the
island’s Commander. He locks Ark in a small room with a
trapped hunter. Ark manages to kill it and get outside,
but Andy is gone.
Meanwhile, the real Vincent Goldman regains consciousness
outside the church; he was never dead at all! He goes
back to his private office and watches Ark’s progress on
security monitors as he makes his way through a hospital.
Activating some controls, he sends a Mr X Type T-103
Tyrant to stalk him across the city.
Ark meanwhile, enters the sewer and comes into Andy
Holland’s living area. He reads through his diary, which
depicts Vincent as an evil man. There is also a
photograph of Vincent, and Ark is horrified to find the
image on the picture is him.
Suddenly, the door opens behind him and a little boy,
Lott Klein, steps into the room. He freaks out when he
sees Ark and begs him not to kill him. Ark says he won’t
hurt him but Lott runs off. Ark cannot believe he is
really such an evil man.
Ark takes off after him and goes through the prison,
where the bodies of the murdered child guinea pigs still
lie.
Emerging back outside into the cold night air, he can
hear sounds of gunfire in the distance as the cleaners go
about their work. Directly ahead however, the trench
coated figure of Mr X strides down towards him. Ark
empties a few pistol magazines on the creature, toppling
it down before it can reach him.
He moves through the Heaven’s Gate night club where Mr X
catches up to him once more. Finding a key in the VIP
area, he manages to escape out the back and finds himself
standing in front of Umbrella’s main building at the
heart of the city. The answers he is seeking must be
inside there somewhere. Indeed, no sooner has he entered
when he begins to have flashbacks of his time on the
island, though they are too brief to make any sense of.
He makes for Goldman’s office on the thirteenth floor and
sees that it is empty, though recently ravaged by a fire.
A bank of still operational security cameras reveals a
little girl sat somewhere else in the building. Suddenly,
Mr X powers into the room, smashing the monitors and Ark
is forced to flee once more.
Hen enters another room and sees a little girl playing a
recording of Vincent’s mother begging him to stop his
evil work and just come home. The girl is frightened and
Lott suddenly appears by her side and fends Ark off with
a baseball bat. The girl is Lilly Klein, Lott’s sister.
They run away, and Ark chases them outside and after
another run in with Mr X, sees them drop into the river
outside.
As he wades through the murky water, he arrives at the
other side to find the Lott house. Inside it is secure
and he finds Lilly hiding in the cupboard in her bedroom.
She tells him Lott has gone to the factory on the hill to
find a way out but she is scared because that is where
all the monsters are coming from. Ark tells her to hide
and that he will go for Lott and then come back for her.
He sets off, but finds different routes leading to the
factory well guarded. The mountain path houses multiple
Mr X units, whilst other routes through the forest and
underground are infested with Lickers, Cerberus and

RES – GAME: PRE-DAWN
Eventually, Ark penetrates the factory through an
abandoned mansion on the hill. The factory is a Tyrant
manufacturing plant. The main product appears to be mass
production of the T-103 “Mr.X” model. Ark sees a whole
army of them being kept in stasis tubes, with several
already active and stalking him around the facility. He
uncovers evidence that guinea pigs had a chemical
extracted from their brain matter which would make them
more suitable to be turned into a Tyrant, as with present
T-Virus infection, only one person in 100,000 would be a
suitable candidate.
Ark eventually finds Lott being attacked by a Hunter and
saves his life to which Lott is grateful and reveals to
Ark his true identity. He is Ark Thompson, not Vincent
Goldman, and Lott was only frightened of him because it
was he who told Goldman of Ark investigating the island.
Ark is relieved and Lott also tells him that there is a
subway station in the lower levels that they can escape
from. Ark tells Lott to go back and get Lilly whilst he
secures a path to the train.
Moving on, with the information Lott told him burning
into his mind, he begins to remember who he is and why he
came here. His friend, Leon S. Kennedy, asked him to come
here to investigate Umbrella’s activities here. His
thoughts are interrupted however, when a voice announces
the self-destruct system has been activated and that the
factory will detonate.
As he looks for a way out, Ark encounters another tyrant
locked in stasis, a different one to the Mr X unit. It
appears more slender and looks as though it could be a
lot more agile. Not wanting to find out however, Ark
leaves the lab only to be confronted at gunpoint by
Vincent Goldman, the man who had attacked him in the
Umbrella building the night before.
He prepares to shoot Ark when he is suddenly speared from
behind by the Tyrant that has somehow been released from
its confinement. The creature turns its attention towards
Ark but it is still slow and sluggish and Ark manages to
overcome it easily enough. However, as Ark leaves, it
rises to its feet once more.
Arriving at the train, Ark sees Lilly and Lott waiting
for him. They board the train whilst Ark goes to open the
gates but a squad of cleaners have taken up sniper
positions and pepper Ark with machine gun fire. He barely
makes it back inside the train and they move off.
RES – GAME: DAWN
The train leads to a small heliport where a lone chopper
waits for them. Lilly and Lott climb aboard but then the
Tyrant makes a re-appearance and Ark must face it alone
before they can take off. It has mutated into a stronger
form, making it bigger and causing it to lose some of its
speed. Ark eventually takes it down once more and runs to
the helicopter. As they take off and head towards the
sky, the factory blows up below them.
RES – EPILOGUE
Suddenly, the helicopter lurches and Ark sees that the
Tyrant is hanging on the bottom. Pulling itself up, Ark
uses the missiles situated on the underside of the
chopper to destroy it completely.
As they fly off into the morning sun, Lilly asks where
they are going to go to which Ark responds he isn’t sure
but so long as they have fuel they will just keep going.

RE – ARCHIVES
At the Rockfort Island Facility under the supervision of
Alfred Ashford. Work is being performed on a number of
new biological weapons.
The Bandersnatch is made from a human subject. Designed
to be a Tyrant with greater adaptability, it has been
developed with focus on practicality rather than sheer
destructive power. To that end, no attempt has been made
to give it a human appearance.
Its most notable characteristic is its method of
transportation. It grabs onto things with its extendable
right arm and pulls itself around in the blink of an eye.
This is an ability not found in previous humanoid
B.O.W.’s, and it allows the Bandersnatch to track its
target quickly and with great precision. In addition to
the right arm’s great strength, it also has great
flexibility. The Bandersnatch can flail it around like a
whip, or pick up its targets and either throw them
against a wall or crush their skulls.
However, the Bandersnatch is far from perfect. Due to its
imperfect prototype status, its lower body has devolved
and its ability to walk is heavily impaired. Furthermore,
its left arm is all but nonexistent, forcing it to rely
on its right arm exclusively. If you compare it to a
standalone Tyrant, its flaws seem to stand out greatly.
However, it cannot be denied that, like its namesake from
Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass, it’s a
formidable foe. With its considerable attack power and
durability, most creatures fear it even if it does
nothing more than attack repetitively with its right arm.
The second B.O.W. is a mutated salamander that inhabits
many places on Rockford Island. This B.O.W. was created
by manipulating the DNA of an infant salamander with the
T-Virus and growing it to full weapon status in the lab.
These Albinoids grow at many times the rate of their
natural cousins, and even at an early age they can
manipulate electricity. This allows for a strategy of
sending several infant Albinoids to an enemy base, then
waiting for them to become adults before sending them off
to attack.
In a mere ten hours, an infant Albinoid will develop into
a fully grown adult, complete with a large increase in
its ability to manipulate electricity. Upon reaching
adulthood, it spends most of its time in water, only
emitting electricity when an enemy approaches. Taking
advantage of its watery environment, it can send its
electricity in a wide radius to attack its targets.
The third B.O.W. is a biological weapon created by
manipulating worm DNA with the T-Virus; the Gulp Worm.
Normally, it lies dormant far beneath the ground, but
when it smells prey approaching it comes rushing out of
the ground to attack. Its main characteristics are its
enormous size and strong digestive organs, which combined
allow it to swallow an adult human whole. This worm is
actually in the prototype stage, and was used as a
practice opponent for Rockfort Island’s Anti-B.O.W. Squad
trainees.

Using combat data acquired by Albert Wesker during the
mansion incident, The Organisation’s scientists have come
up with a new model Hunter using Umbrella’s MA-121 model
as a base.
The main change is that ‘The Organisation’ has been able
to assume more control over the weapon by adding a
detection system called an Automated Surveillance Device
which sends the Hunter II to attack only specified
targets. This improves its functionality as a soldier.
This, in addition to the poisonous Sweeper sub-series,
suggests The Organisation’s research is quite advanced.

USS Agent Hunk arrives on Rockfort Island from the

“Attn: Mr. Alfred Ashford, head of the facility.
Today at 16:32, I arrived successfully from the Umbrella transport
base with the large-scale BOW capsule. Extreme care was taken during
transport, and all 108 check points were confirmed condition ‘green’,
in accordance with standard procedures. It is currently being stored in
a freezer.
There’s one thing that I don’t understand. We are normally assigned to
special missions. Why were we ordered to transport a frozen capsule
this time? I understand that this may be classified as top-secret, but
without knowledge of the contents, our safety could be at risk during
the transport. This is especially important if the contents are
potentially harmful. We would like to ask you to provide us with more
information, should we be assigned similar missions in the future.
I still remember the good old days that I spent here at the military
training centre. Nothing has changed since then. We will gear up for
our next mission at 23:00.

RES2 – INSPECTION REPORT
Albert Wesker leads ‘The Organisation’s’ Hive Capture
Force on an assault on Rockfort Island. He apparently
infiltrates the island alone to gather intelligence and
subtly spread the T-Virus before the rest of the squad
arrive a few days later to begin the main attack. A
report is sent to Umbrella HQ detailing that undercover
agents have yet to discover the identity of the spy
working for H.C.F. However, he has infiltrated Rockfort
Island and has access to all areas of personnel,
including viral storage. They fear he is planning some
sort of attack. The matter will be dealt with swiftly and
urgently. A Nemesis type T is sent to Rockfort Island for
added security as it was a huge success in Raccoon City.
{Let us assume that in all the chaos, it never gets
activated.}
“Here is a brief report on what we have found so far:
Our undercover agents have yet to crack the identity of the spy
working for H.C.F.; however, based on the D-files obtained in Geneva,
we are certain he is on Rockfort Island and has gained full access to
all areas of personnel. Our men have been on the case for three
months now, and I assure you this matter will be dealt with swiftly and
quietly once we have identified our target. Our sources inform us that
he has joined forces with our enemy, plotting some sort of offensive
attack. Few details are known at this time, but we do know that they
have succeeded in duplicating the prototype.
Given the new urgency of this situation, I have taken the liberty of
sending you a special gift; Nemesis type T. The latest BOW was
created in the States and has set the world on fire with its
performance in Raccoon City. Since everything about it is completely
confidential including its budget and inventory controls, there will be
no shipping record. The package is hidden amongst other materials in
a routine shipment. All evidence of this transaction must be destroyed
with the utmost discretion, and any knowledge of it will die with you
and me.
PS,
Nemesis T is programmed to set loose once an emergency is
detected. There is no other way to activate it. Regard it as a talisman
and use only as your last resort.”

RES2: DIARY OF CHIEF WARDEN
A prison guard finds a spider that has become infected
with the virus has made a web in an empty cell in the
prison complex. He is fascinated by the creature and does
not report it, instead finding roaches and moths to feed
to it. As the days go by, the virus makes the spider,
which he names Neticia, grow bigger and he begins to
steal bodies for it to feed on. Eventually, he sends live
prisoners into the cell, noting that Alfred Ashford would
only torture them to death anyway and no one would care
if a few went missing.
“She is my last hope. My invincible lover, Neticia. I first met you in an
empty solitary cell. You had innocently chosen that spot to make your
web, a place to call home, though there was no food for you to
catch. I wonder why I fell for you…Perhaps it was because I sensed we
were kindred spirits, choosing to live our lives in some sheltered
corner secluded from others…I diligently kept feeding you with moths
and roaches. Watching you wrap their bodies and suck out their fluids
relaxed me. I noticed how you had grown, but I wanted you to be
bigger and stronger. That’s why I started to steal bodies for you.
There was no harm in it, after all they were dead remnants from
various experiments, no longer useful and left to be disposed of
secretly.
So I did just that, by feeding you. The effect of the virus on you was
astounding, and in no time you had become as big as a man. Then,
when I ran out of food, I sent a prisoner to the cell. They would be
tortured to death by Alfred anyway. No one cared if a few went
missing…”

The spider soon becomes too big for the cell and the
officer lets it loose around the prison where it hides
and every so often will pounce on unsuspecting prison
officers and prisoners.
“At last you have grown too big to live in a cell. Now I let you crawl
loose in the prison. The ceiling has become your resting place and
you’ve begun to devour prisoners and prison officers at random. No
one will be able to destroy my lover. You are far more powerful that
that annoying Alfred, your fangs are sharp enough to slice his empty

He also says that once the T-Virus infects a certain

can only pray that Steve can escape from Rockfort alive.
“Dear Son,
T-Virus will soon destroy everything. Son, I was in…know how dreadful
the virus is. Once the virus infects a certain percentage of the island,
it cannot be reversed or stopped. Remember that once it enters into

regret what I have done, I can’t understand why things went in this
way and what really went wrong.
I can admit that I was not a good father to you, but I’ve loved ….I
can’t hide what I’ve been doing….I can’t undo what I’ve done. All I can

THE CODE VERONICA INCIDENT: DECEMBER 27TH-28TH 1998
RECVX – INTRO: EVENING
Claire regains consciousness to find she is prisoner in a
cell somewhere below ground. It is dark and dust falls
from the ceiling as distant explosions and rumbling can
be heard from somewhere up above. A figure enters the
prison and walks slowly toward her, stopping at the door
of her cell. She flicks on her lighter and is face to
face with Rodrigo Juan Ravel, the Umbrella security head
from Paris. He unlocks the door before slumping into a
chair behind a desk in some obvious pain, tossing an
empty medicine bottle onto the floor.
As Claire cautiously leaves her cell he tells her the
complex has been attacked by most likely a Special Forces
team. In any case, this place is finished and she is free
to leave, although he adds she has no chance of escaping
the island alive.
RECVX - GAME
Claire leaves and heads above ground. It is pouring rain
and she is in a small graveyard. A crashed truck burns
nearby and after a small explosion; the body of the
truck’s driver rises up and attacks her. As she moves to
get away, more zombies rise up from the ground and she
flees for the gate, realising it is happening again.
No sooner is she through however, one of the watchtowers
opens fire on her with a chain gun and she scampers for
cover. Taking a gun from one of the dead soldiers she
takes out the searchlights before aiming at the tower.
The person in the tower surrenders and comes down when he
sees she is not a zombie. He is just a boy, even younger
than Claire called Steve. He says he is a prisoner too
and that he knows there is an airport somewhere on the
island. He leaves her, saying she will only slow him
down.
Moving on, Claire explores the prison complex though
there doesn’t appear to be any more survivors. The place
is a mess, buildings lay in ruin and mini fires are
everywhere. There has definitely been some kind of aerial
assault. Eventually, she finds the prison office and
bumps into Steve. He asks if she is related to a Chris
Redfield. When she replies that he is her brother he
shows her the computer and tells her that Chris is under
electronic surveillance by Umbrella. The computer shows
his current location in Europe and she e-mails Leon
Kennedy telling him to get in touch with Chris and warn
him. She also sends him the co-ordinates of the island
they are on but Steve scoffs, saying that she shouldn’t
rely on other people to help her before he runs off in a
huff.
Eventually, Claire finds an emblem that lets her leave
the prison complex and explore the other part of the
island and arrives at a section that houses a mansion
residence and a military training facility.
Searching the mansion she finds and helps Steve, who
activated a security system and has been caught in a trap
whilst trying to help himself to some of the antique guns
on offer. But again, the immature Steve is too proud to
accept her help and goes off on his own once more.
Leaving the room, Claire is unexpectedly attacked by a
man brandishing a sniper rifle. He introduces himself as
Alfred Ashford, commander of Rockfort Island and he
believes Claire is behind the attacks on the island. He
also tells her that his grandfather Edward Ashford was
one of the three founding fathers of Umbrella.
After a tense standoff where neither of them can get a
clear shot, Alfred leaves, saying that she can wait.

Approaching the residence, she can hear female laughter
cackling from the house. Inside, the mansion is eerie and
spooky, with dolls and dusty books everywhere amidst a
nest of bats. Upstairs, she can hear a conversation
between Alexia and Alfred. Alexia wants to know why
Alfred is taking so long in dealing with Claire and it
appears Alfred wants Alexia to be the new glorious head
of the Ashford family. Alexia suddenly believes she can
see Claire but as she hides, believes it to be just her
imagination. After they leave, Claire enters the bedroom
where she finds the key she needs.
She then returns to the prison to check on Rodrigo and
hands him some haemostatic medicine for his wounds. She
also gives him her lighter that her brother Chris got her
on her birthday. He is grateful and hands her a lock pick
in return. She moves on, finding hidden torture chambers
in the prison and evidence of Alfred’s other sick
activities.
Returning to the palace, she is accosted on the steps by
Albert Wesker who claims he is just a ghost come back to
haunt her dear brother Chris. He beats her up, enjoying

Following here, they find a trail of blood and a blonde
wig on the music box. As Claire picks it up, Alfred, who
has been hiding on top of the bed, jumps down to grab her
but she dodges and Steve points his Uzi’s at him. Alfred
screams at his own refection in the mirror and runs away
before they can do anything.
Claire realises that Alfred and Alexia must be the same
person and that Alexia never existed at all, it was just
a cover. Suddenly, alarms begin to ring as they realise
Alfred has activated the self-destruct system and so they
race for the plane.
As they reach the palace courtyard, they see several
cargo planes taking off and leaving the island. Steve
offers to prep their plane whilst Claire raises the
bridge so they can escape.
Meanwhile, a wounded Alfred swears revenge on Claire and
releases a T-78 Tyrant from stasis that USS Agent Hunk
had delivered a few weeks before.
After Claire raises the bridge, she meets the monster on
her way back to the plane and manages to knock it down
long enough to get by. Once back on board, a relived
Steve manages to take up the plane and they leave the
burning island behind them. Claire suggests they head for
Hawaii.
Meanwhile, Alfred struggles through the training facility
as the complex erupts all around him. He enters an
underground hangar and leaves the island also via a
harrier jet.
Back on the plane, a sudden jolt prompts Claire to check
out the back compartment where she is horrified to find
the Tyrant has stowed a lift with them and she uses the
cargo catapult to knock the creature out of the plane.
Returning to the cabin, Steve asks her what happened when
the controls suddenly freeze and they change course.
Alfred Ashford’s face appears on the monitor telling them
he is taking them to a new destination. With nothing else

RES2 – CLAIRE’S MONOLOGUE
Whilst asleep on the plane, Claire has a nightmare about
the events on Rockfort Island and her battles with Steve,
even dreaming she encountered the famous Nemesis of
Raccoon City.
“I seem to have fallen asleep in spite of myself. The sound of the
turbo engine of the V-Tol has woken me up. I was dreaming. No, I was
having a terrible nightmare. I’m drenched in sweat, and my heart is
thumping in my throat. The dream is fading away rapidly just like a
dream always does. Then only the memory of fear and deep sorrow
remain. To my surprise, I seem to have been crying. In the cockpit,
Steve is controlling the plane. The nightmare has gone far behind.
What do I have to fear? Why should I be sad? We’re safe, for we got
away from the cause of so much fear and sorrow. The island…
I can see the warm sunlight coming into the cockpit, as if it erases
the darkness. There are dolphins jumping on the surface of the sea
below. However, the fragments of the nightmare never leave my mind.
The scenes I dreamed of are surfacing one by one. I was dreaming of
the island. I was fighting just like I did a while ago, just like I did
together with Steve. But the dream was about to unfold in a different
way, in the worst way. My farewell to Steve…That is a reality that
could have happened…if anything had gone wrong…But it didn’t. We
won this future. We have escaped from the island of death. It’s time I
forgot the nightmare. It’s time I talked with Steve. The sky is bright
with sunlight.
It’s becoming brighter and brighter. I wonder why he doesn’t turn
around? Now it’s too bright as if I’m in a white blanket of fog.
Was it just a dream? I don’t know…I’m in a white blanket.
I wonder why he doesn’t turn around. Is what I believe to be reality
real? The steady sound of the engine of the V-Tol has become louder
and louder like the noise from a swinging axe, and I realise I am
waking up.”

Hours pass and when they eventually wake up they are
shocked to discover they are over the Antarctic and are
about to land at a small transport terminal which is also
owned by Umbrella. They see that the other planes that
had left Rockfort have landed here also. The computer
malfunctions the landing however and they crash into the
side of one of the main buildings, knocking them both
unconscious.
After waking up, they share a tender moment together
before splitting up to find a way out. It soon becomes
apparent that the arriving planes from Rockfort have
leaked the T-Virus here as well. Claire discovers a
secret passage where she can heart the terrible moaning
of an imprisoned creature known only as ‘Nosferatu’.
After Claire leaves, the creature tears free of its bonds
and begins to chase her down.
After restoring power to sections of the base, Claire is
ambushed by Alfred but Steve shoots him with his machine
guns causing him to plunge off the side of a ravine.
Claire picks up Alfred’s sniper rifle and they climb into
a digging machine which they use to penetrate the walls
to get back outside the base. As they go however, the
busted ice begins to melt and flood portions of the base.
Steve mentions that there is an Australian research
station located nearby and they decide to head there.
Back outside, they pass through a heliport to reach a
parked snow cat to escape but Nosferatu is waiting for
them. It uses its tentacles to knock Steve away, leaving
him hanging precariously on the edge of the heliport.
Claire battles the creature who emits poisonous gas yet
she is able to kill it using Alfred’s rifle. She pulls
Steve back up and they get into the snow cat and leave
the base.
Meanwhile, a mortally wounded Alfred Ashford staggers
into the main lab of the facility. A woman lies naked in
a stasis tube. As he approaches the controls light up and
the tube empties, revealing the real Alexia Ashford, who
has been frozen for the last 15 years to allow her body
to absorb the T-Veronica virus. Alfred marvels in her
beauty before dying at her feet.
As Claire and Steve ride along laughing and joking, a
huge tentacle shoots out from the base and envelops the
snow cat, hurling it around as if it were a toy before
dragging it back to the base. In the lab, Alexia strokes
her dead brother’s hair and calmly watches the carnage on
a monitor.

Some time later, a small boat brings a lone man to
Rockfort Island. Scaling the cliffs of the mountain, he
wears a tactical vest bearing the RPD STARS insignia; it
is Chris Redfield, last seen in Raccoon City back in
August after what remained of his unit had been
discredited by the police. He is here following a lead
given to him by Leon S. Kennedy. He lumbers a bag full of
weapons and equipment but he slips on the rock and the
bag plummets back down into the sea. Undeterred, Chris
moves on, reaching the top of the cliff, drawing his gun
and vowing to save Claire.
He moves into the base and meets Rodrigo, who tells him
that if Claire is still alive she probably left on one of
the planes that took off a few hours earlier. Suddenly,
they are attacked by the gulp worm that has been stalking
the training facility and Rodrigo is swallowed whole.
Chris kills the creature and Rodrigo is spat back out but
it is too late for him. He gives Chris back his lighter
before dying. Chris moves on into the remnants of the
facility after the self destruction. In a computer room,
he spies an image of Alexia singing on a monitor.
Somewhere elsewhere on the base, Wesker is also watching
the same image, cursing that Alexia is already fully
awake. He then spots Chris and is pleased he is finally
here. He remote activates a sensor unit to track Chris
which will send the nearest Hunter to his position.
As Chris moves on, he comes to realise that the base is
dead and that there are no survivors. As he moves through
the lab however, he hears laughter behind him and whirls
round to confront Albert Wesker, a man supposed to be
long dead. Wesker explains that an organisation has hired
him to capture Alexia Ashford and Chris realises that it
was Wesker who attacked the island. He raises his weapon
but Wesker moves with superhuman speed to knock it from
Chris’ hands and send him sprawling. Wesker moves to
finish him off, telling how much he despises Chris for
ruining his plans. He also taunts him by sawing he knows
his sister is now in the Antarctic. Suddenly, Alexia
appears on the monitor and taunts them both, making
Wesker throw Chris away and leave immediately.
Chris races after him but Wesker has gone. With nothing
left to do but leave, Chris moves to the hangar and takes
one of Alfred’s jets, his course set for Antarctica.
RECVX – GAME
Chris arrives at Antarctica to find the base almost
deserted, the flooding that Steve had caused has iced up,
trapping many of the zombies and corpses. He finds the
body of Nosferatu, which after reading Alfred Ashford’s
diary realises that it is actually his father Alexander,
whom Alfred and Alexia had experimented on with the
Veronica virus.
He eventually finds Claire trapped in a room which is an
exact replica of the main hall of the old Spencer Mansion
in Raccoon Forest. He frees her and she is grateful to
see him but says they cannot leave without Steve.
Suddenly, Alexia arrives to taunt them and they give
chase after her but a huge tentacle blocks their progress
and cuts Claire off from Chris.
Claire moves on, finding Steve trapped in a room just
like Nosferatu. Steve awakes and says that Alexia has
injected him with T-Veronica. Claire knows his body will
not be able to cope with the virus and he mutates into a
monster and attacks her. She manages to get away until
she is attacked by another tentacle. As she hangs there,
helpless, Steve moves to kill her before instead hacking
the tentacle in two. Enraged, the tentacle fatally wounds
him before moving off. Dying, Steve returns back to human
form and tells Claire that he loves her before closing
his eyes for good. Claire bursts into tears.
RECVX – GAME
Meanwhile, back in the main hall, Chris hides in the
corner as Wesker moves towards Alexia. The only existing
sample of the T-Veronica virus is in her body and he
wants it. She retorts that he is not worthy of its power
and as he stands mesmerised, she transforms into a
medusa-like creature and sends him flying with one punch.
Wesker uses his powers to attack her but they have little
effect until he spies Chris hiding in the corner. Wesker
mocks him that he’ll leave Alexia to him as he’s one of
his best men before fleeing the room. Chris uses his colt
python and manages to knock Alexia down long enough to
escape.
RES2: WESKER’S REPORT ON THE T-VERONICA VIRUS
Having had his first contact with Alexia, Wesker finishes
his report on T-Veronica and e-mails it off to The
Organisation.
“Note that the T-Veronica carrier bore a close resemblance to Alexia,
daughter of the Ashford family.
In my opinion, the potential of the T-Veronica carrier is beyond
comprehension. It has the ability to transform in order to
accommodate a hostile element. For defensive purposes it transforms
its skin into armour to protect its body against bullets. It is assumed
that the T-Veronica carrier can evolve to accommodate any
environmental change. The blood of the T-Veronica carrier seems to
catch fire once it is aerated. When it attacks by spraying its blood, it’s
more powerful than a flame-thrower. Survival rate against this type of
weapon is very low since the T-Veronica carrier pursues its victims
with the intelligence of a human.
Summary survival rate against an enemy of this potential is extremely
low.”

Virus; undated.
RECVX-GAME
Moving on through the complex, Chris comes to a small
prison area where he can hear Claire sobbing behind a
door. She explains that Steve is dead and the door has
automatically locked. Claire hands him a file from under
the door explaining that if they activate the self
destruct system it should unlock all the doors and
activate the emergency exits. Chris takes the information
and uses the password Veronica to start the sequence.
Their plan works and Claire gets out and meets up with
Chris just as Alexia arrives for a final confrontation.
Chris distracts her long enough for Claire to get away
before unloading his entire arsenal on Alexia, who by
this time has mutated into a kind of queen ant. Chris
spies a Linear Rocket Launcher on the wall and uses it to
finish off Alexia for good. He now has five minutes to
get out before the base goes up. On his way back to the
hangar however, he spots Wesker, who has taken Claire
hostage. He chases them down, finally catching up with
them in a submarine hangar as the base begins to blow all
around them. Chris convinces Wesker to let Claire go and
Chris tells her to wait for him in the jet. Before she
goes, he taunts her that his men have taken Steve’s body
and will recover the Veronica virus from his bloodstream.
Once she goes, Chris and Wesker prepare to face off.
Wesker pummels Chris, beating him to a pulp. Not even a
metal pipe to the face can slow the former STARS
commander down. Bloodied and bleeding, Chris desperately
lunges for a lever which drops a pile of steel girders on
top of Wesker. Wesker slowly gets up and appears weakened
yet still ok. A nice try, he mocks Chris when suddenly a
pipe explodes and they are separated by a wall of flame.
Wesker’s face is horribly burned and he warns Chris that
today is his lucky day and that next time they meet he
won’t be able to count on another. With no time to spare,
Chris races for the hangar.
RECVX – EPILOGUE
A relived Claire
onto the jet and
the base goes up
promise her that
is pleased to see him as Chris jumps
they take off with seconds to spare as
under them. Claire wants Chris to
he won’t leave her again but Chris
apologises saying that he can’t do that until they take
out Umbrella once and for all.
RECVX – GAME
Albert Wesker also escapes via submarine, his mission a
success with the recovered T-Veronica sample.

REUC – UMBRELLA’S END 1
Umbrella’s stock prices have plummeted following the
Raccoon incident; however, the company has influential
ties in deep pockets and are able to drag out the legal
proceedings hoping that in time, all Umbrella’s
involvement in the affair will have disappeared.
MARCH
REOUT1 – EPILOGUE
Six months after the disaster at Raccoon City, Umbrella
scientists are doing a recon over ground zero. The whole
site is surrounded by a chain link fence with biohazard
markings. A fighter jet flies over the site, taking
aerial photographs. The pilot concludes there is no way
anything human could be alive down there.
Far below, amidst the wreckage, Umbrella has set up some
temporary offices. A man looks out of the window at the
wreckage when he receives a phone call. The caller tells
him they are scheduled to begin at noon. The man agrees.
