July 31st 1978 the first time I visited that place it was the summer of my 18th year that makes it about 20 years ago as I got off the helicopter I remembered the sight of the swirling wind the helicopter blades whipped into the air when viewed from above the old mansion seemed quite normal but when seen from the ground there was something foreboding and unapproachable about it Birkin my junior by two years seemed as usual to be only concerned with the document he was holding we were assigned to the mansion two days earlier on the
day that the executive training center we had belonged to was closed it all seemed like it was planned too much of a coincidence but probably the only person who knew the real truth was Spencer Spencer was one of the main guys in charge of America's t-virus research at the our clay research facility as soon as we got off the helicopter the head of the facility was standing in front of the elevator ready to greet us I can't even remember the guys name who really cares about formalities and figureheads like him from that day on the
art lab research centre was ours as chief researchers we were put completely in charge of all aspects of the facility of course that is just how Spencer had planned it all out he chose us we ignored the facility head and got on the elevator I had already memorized the building layout the day before and Birkin although he has no bad intentions never really pays much attention to other people most people probably get pretty worked from the first five seconds that they meet us however the facility had had no reaction at all but then I was
a young buck completely full of himself so I didn't really pay the facility had any mind but in the end it was really only Spencer's puppet in the facility head whose boss was Spencer at least actually knew what Spencer was up to and what he was thinking the whole time we were riding in the elevator Birkin never took his eye off the documents he was holding the document that back in was scrutinizing so closely was a report about a new virus that has shown up in Africa it was called Ebola at this moment there were
many people all throughout the world who were studying the Ebola virus however I think there were two major reasons why they were studying it to help people to kill them of course even before this due to the biological weapons prohibition pact it was illegal for us to study the virus as a weapon however even if we weren't the ones to research it there was no proof that someone else wouldn't be doing that same thing and so it was considered legal for us to research it just in case there is a thin line in international law
between what is acceptable and what is prohibited and so it became necessary to research how the virus study information would be used as a method of prevention but not as a weapon there really is no difference in the way in which you research a virus as a cure from how you research it as a weapon but since the two are very similar it is possible to pretend you are researching a cure while in fact they are searching the virus as a weapon even there at that time for whatever reason Birkin may have been looking at
the Ebola report he wasn't really researching the Ebola virus the Ebola virus had too many weak spots first of all the virus could only survive for a few days if not inside a human body it would soon dive under sunlight ultra violet light for too long secondly since it kills the house too quickly there isn't enough time to transfer infect other hosts finally the virus is only transferable through direct touch and so it can be easily prevented try to imagine the following if a person who was heavily infected the disease had spread all throughout their
body could actually stand and walk around and without knowing it was in direct contact with other people of their own accord what if the RNA of the Ebola virus could actually alter a person's genetic code and if through that a person was able to carry the virus without dying what of this person had the resilience of a monster that is wouldn't this person be a living dead whose body carried the violence something that could infect others sort of like a living biological weapon my guess we are lucky that the Ebola virus doesn't have the potential
to do such things I wonder if we will be successful and holding out to such a virus without it getting into the wrong persons hands the our clay lab headed up by Spencer was built for that purpose it seemed to create a disease capable of the characteristics I listed before officially it was just a pharmaceutical company researching cures to viruses it was really a factory for manufacturing biological weapons the origin of the company was to create new starter viruses by recombining genes in order to produce biological weapons out of these new starter viruses they began
studying virus mutations in order to strengthen the basic viruses they had created this was known as the t-virus experiment rna-based started irises can easily be mutated through those mutations it is possible to strengthen that traits the reason Birkin was so interested in the Ebola virus was that he was thinking of Rican binding the Ebola genes into a starter virus to strengthen its attributes by the time we had arrived the research center there was already a sample of the Ebola virus waiting for us we changed elevators several times finally reached the upper level of the complex
when we arrived even back and looked up it was the first time we had met we hadn't heard a single word about her before she was a secret of the utmost confidentiality at the research centre and they didn't let any information about her out of the compound according to the records she was at the research centre from the very moment it was first built she was 25 but we didn't know her name nor why she was here she was to be used as the experimental subject host for the t-virus the day we began the experiment
was November 10th 1967 we did t-virus experiments on her for all of 11 years Birkin mumbled something maybe they were words cursing our situation maybe there were words of praise in any case we had come to the point of no return now we had two choices to succeed in our research or to lay here rotting like she was of course that meant we really only had one choice she was bound to a pipe bed and something about her made me think and there's been a part of Spencer's plan all along July 27th 1981 today a
ten-year-old girl was sent here as a chief researcher from umbrellas Antarctica research facility her name was Alexia Ashford I was 21 Bergen was 19 as annoying as it was the whole arkla complex is rampant with rumors of Antarctica Alexia nobody talked about anything else she had been at umbrella for a long time the older guys at umbrella knew the legendary Ashford named before we ever reached a dead end in our search one of the old-timers would say if only professor Edward was still alive if I remember correctly Edward Ashford was one of the people who
first discovered the starter virus and who originally planned to create in the t-virus however he died soon after umbrella was founded it's been 13 years since his death so is there really anything to gain by having high expectations of the Ashford lineage and in fact the Antarctic Research Center founded by his son hadn't yield a single result don't people know the limits of Alexius smarts she is only Edwards grandchild after all from the day she came now worthless good-for-nothing subordinates began to say it's a good thing that Lexie as here she may be from a
famous family carry great genes within her but nonetheless I knew it was gonna be a real hassle having subordinates with such a lack of good judgment it's idiots like that yeah if I accidentally stuck their foot in a bucket wouldn't be able to move or figure out what to do unless someone told them at least I could still tell the difference however if at that time I would have gotten upset about the whole thing it would have just slowed down our progress on the t-virus research unless you can keep your cool and still be decisive
no matter what the circumstances then success will always have a deal at that time I was thinking this by making good use of the past then we could definitely yield good results and if some of those old-timers who feasibly could die at any second then they would make great test subjects after all do you think it is possible to stand above the people if you can't rationally use that human resource as well however the problem was Birkin the way he reacted to the Alexia rumor was terrible he never really said it but for Birkin the
fact that he was the youngest person to ever be a chief researcher was always something he was proud of that pride was severely injured by having a mere ten-year-old become a chief researcher it was probably the first time someone so talented as he had ever tasted defeat he just couldn't accept the younger girl of good lineage to be made a fool of by someone who hadn't gotten any results someone who had worked so far away the fact that it couldn't get over it showed us a maturity however even though he was still immature no matter
what I had to bring him back to his senses it was during these three years that I research moved up to the second level it was at this point that we fixed upon the idea of making a living biological weapon we started to call the t-virus by a new name zombie however it was impossible to get a 100% infection ratio within people there is a subtle difference that the virus couldn't totally overtake it seems compatibility was also a major factor about 10% of the people who were injected with the zombie virus didn't get infected and
this was something that no matter how hard we researched we just couldn't overcome a disease that would affect 90% of all humans seemed to me to be quite an effective weapon but Spencer didn't see it that way Spencer said he was hoping for a specialty virus that could easily wipe out everyone but why in the world would he want something like that one important characteristic of biological weapons was that they could be developed cheaply however the biological weapon that we were researching started to become very costly if Spencer was in it just for the money
and he probably wouldn't have chosen to spend the extra money on researching a specialty virus that infected and wiped out 100% of its victims it just wasn't financially worth it when he would he want to ignore all financial concerns just to continue the research if by changing the idea of war through biological warfare he was attempting to monopolize all military industries then I would have understood that but even to this day but whatever Spencer's real reason was Birkin was planning on making a biological weapon that would increase the country's military capacity not to just manipulate
the genes of the t-virus but also by adding other genetic code he was planning on creating him a military biological weapon that could annihilate those who went unaffected by the virus as well as people who were wearing antiviral gear and equipment this weapon was later named hunter however that experience was temporarily put on hold in order to protect the test subjects from Barkin Birkins pace was quickened by Alexia's existence he began to act out of the ordinary he would stay at the lab for 24 hours straight attempt experiments that he hadn't really thought out I
tried to use other researchers to get as many samples from the subjects before they died and I just couldn't keep up with his pace the head facilitator brought in a new subject as if nothing had ever happened but she too soon died it was hell and within that house there was but one person living the female test subjects body that continued to live on she was already 28 years old having lived 14 of the years in this research facility someone whose consciousness had been taken away by the starter virus that had been injected into her
14 years ago someone who if their heart did happen to actually be alive would only hope for death but she continued to survive why was only she able to survive this long the basic experiment data and that of other test subjects seemed to be the same hmm it would still take a long time for us to solve this riddle December 31st 1983 the winter of my sixth year at the art lay Research Centre for the past two years there were no significant results and time seemed to just stagnant we flow along but before long we
had a breakthrough the thing that started it all was a report we got that morning and Arctica Alexia had died the cause of her death was that she accidentally got infected by a virus that she herself was researching it was called the T Veronica virus Alexia was 12 years old it seems she was just a little too young to be undertaking such dangerous experiments there were many rumors to be heard one particular rumor actually suggested that she injected the T Veronica into her own body no matter what the circumstances I find theory to be implausible
probably she was just so shaken up over her father's disappearance one year earlier that she just made a mistake in the experiment after that Alexius last remaining blood relative her twin brother who had worked in the Antarctica research center came and picked up her work where she left off but no one had any expectations of him in the end the Ashford family was basically dead without even yielding a single advance for the experiment it was just as I thought a legend is after all merely that a legend after the news of Alexia's death Birkin changed
or I guess I should say he returned back to his normal self but I guess the biggest thing was that all of his subordinates now had no choice but to think of him as the main researcher since now there was no one who could surpass his talents however with that it became taboo for anyone to talk about Alexia in front of him he fiercely opposed me when I planned on getting a sample of the tea Veronica virus I had no choice to put finding the truth about Alexia's research on the back burner in the end
even though the situation was at its best Birkin himself failed to grow up and advanced his research however at that time I was concerned more about a different question at hand the art lay Research Center was surrounded by a dense forest I often hike through the forest but since the center was located in a mountain region there was never anyone to be found nearby the only method of transportation was by helicopter and the centre wasn't exactly the type of place that people came to visit one important reason for the fact that the center was located
in such an isolated location was to prevent the virus from getting out in the instance of the leak however biological weapons aren't that simple viruses don't only infect humans they can infect other things as well any virus is usually capable of infecting more than one host for example the number of species that the ordinary influenza virus the common flu is recognized as infecting a birds pigs horses seals and humans the difficult part is not that all types of animals people within a species are affected even though within the bird species ducks and chickens are affected
all other birds are not and if a virus mutates then the kinds in number of hosts it affects changes so it is impossible to create a virus that is capable of affecting everything and that was the main problem trying to adapt the t-virus so that it would affect everything that I came in contact with after Birkin became useless I've started investigating the t-virus communicative infection rate it was then that I found out it was a fact that the t-virus could infect almost any kind of living thing not just animals but plants insects fish almost any
species the virus had the power to expand and disperse all over the earth whenever I would leave the center for a walk in the woods did Spencer choose this place because there were lots of different types of species concentrated in the woods if the virus ever did get out here then what would happen to a place where there were this many type of living things present in the case of insects they are small so you might not think of them as dangerous even if they are secondary carriers of the virus however insects usually exist in
swarms and that huge number makes them a very dangerous carrier indeed if they were carriers than home far with the virus spread if a plant was a carrier then since they can't move you wouldn't expect them to be able to infect many people however what about the pollen that comes from plants considering those factors the center was an extremely dangerous place to run virus research and if you really think about it the location of the Ashford Antarctica Research Center was really a much safer and obvious choice it would almost seem as if this place was
specifically chosen as location for the purpose of spreading the virus but I just can't imagine that would really be so what is Spencer trying to get us to do this was a major issue so big that I couldn't tell the other researchers at this time the only person that I felt I could have talked with about this was Birkin but it was evident that telling him would be meaningless I needed more information it was at that time that I first began to feel the limitations of my position as researcher I needed to get myself a
position that had more access to information that would reveal Spencer's true objective I felt no love lost for throwing the Whelan position as a researcher in order to find out but I couldn't rush things because of Spencer if I got wind of what I was doing and it would be all over I jumped back into my research and it was business as usual so it's not to call attention to my plans during those times the female test subject that continued to survive was left in some corner and forgotten a living could have been we began
to call her that sometime after she stopped yielding useful data for us at least until five years later that is July 1st 1988 the summer of our 11th year at our clay was just starting I was already 28 Burgin had become a father and already had a two-year-old daughter his wife was one of the researchers that worked at our clay you would normally think it hard to understand something wanted to get married and raise a child all the while doing the research but it is said that only non ordinary people ever continued to do research
at our clay only the crazy ones ever succeeded here and so after 10 long years our research finally reached the third stage to create a living biological weapon that was a soldier that would follow strict orders obey its program and have intelligence it was the so called tyrant basically a monster that we sent out to create however there was a major obstruction to our research back then finding a basic body for tyrant the biggest problem was that suitable bodies for tyrant were at that time genetically very limited the source of the problem lay in the
nature of the t-virus the t-virus mutation used to create zombies and hunters could be used on just about any human but it would also cause a decline in the subjects brain capacity if the subject didn't have a certain amount of intelligence then I couldn't function as a tyrant Birkin tried solving the problem by picking out new mutagens that would keep down the wear and tear of the subjects brain so long as the subject to fit the tyrant profile however the number of people that had suitable genetics to accept the tyrant cells were very limited in
a genetic analysis simulation it was found that only one in 1 million had the genetic makeup to become a tyrant any other person would merely become a regular zombie if we could have continued with our research that I'm sure we could have found a way to make a different type of T virus that could change more people into tyrants however in order to do that research we first needed people that were perfectly suitable for the new mutation the odds of us being able to bring one of those few people living in America that fit the
profile was extremely low in the end the only thing they were able to do was to by force bring a few close contenders in from other labs even before we had the chance to start our research it seemed we had already hit an obstacle at that time ahead of rumor about another location in Europe where they had already reached the third level of producing a living biological weapon using a method that no one had thought of it was known as the Nemesis plan in order to change the stagnant working pace and conditions I took it
upon myself to get a sample of one of the subjects from that plan of course Birkin first disagreed with me but in the end I was able to get him to reconsider everyone had no choice but to recognize the fact that until we found a suitable tyrant subject our research wasn't going anywhere the package from Europe came at midnight several days later after a series of broadcasts proposals and counterproposals that box that contained it landed on the helicopter pad it read nemesis prototype I had to use some very strong tactics to get the incomplete thing
where it was being researched in France but all the while Spencer was backing me up fooling all of his strings and using his influence only Bergin showed no interest in it until the end but he at least recognized it as an important part of the experiment the sample was developed to create a never-before-seen totally new form by manipulating genes they had artificially created a living parasite that was what nemesis really was they could have latched on to another organisms brain and then take control of the hosts brain bringing it a high level of destructive power
by combining intelligence with a destructive body suitable for battle they were able to form the ultimate biological weapon and if they could complete the project then they would be capable of creating warlike bodies without having to worry about the intelligence issue however the problem was that the parasite containing it was not stable the only thing written within the document that was attached to the sample was failure sampled died over and over again anything that had been affected and whose intelligence was being controlled would die within five minutes we all understood that messing around with the
incomplete prototype was very dangerous if we could only somehow manage to extend the amount of time that the hosts would live then we could take control over the project that was what I was aiming for of course we would use her as a test subject surely her unusually high endurance would be perfect for sustaining the Nemesis prototype parasite for a long time even if she didn't last that long it's not as if we would be losing anything special anyways however the experiment yielded a result that was opposite from what I was predicting the Nemesis parasite
that tried to enter her brain disappeared at first I didn't even know what was going on I couldn't believe that she would be the one to mix with the parasite genes without dying that's the beginning somewhere within that undying body of hers there had been a change we had to reexamine her from head to toe one more time during our 10 years of research she had been totally and thoroughly examined but this time we ignored that previous data for the 21 years that she had been here for the first time something was finally happening after
she had already survived longer than other subjects who had received the Nemesis virus it was only Birkin that started to realize what was happening there was something within her that something was a deviation from the t-virus plan something new that gave way to a new form something that changed our destiny it was the beginning of the g-virus plan the plans to reuse the management training facility were scrapped by Marcus's unfortunate count first not only that but the incident appeared to spread the virus to the area surrounding the mansion causing a biohazard outbreak it is time
to abandon the sinking ship that is umbrella [Music] the virus is out we can't hide this anymore it appears umbrella is finished you're just gonna walk away our research isn't complete we can make a more powerful virus do what you like the t-virus is near completion and only needs test data that is why stars is in place I will bring them into the mansion [Music] damn it I better get rid of this place before there are any more complications Wescoe here I will use the ropeway to return to the training facility and depart from there
[Music] [Music] the power is out I need to get it running the power room should be down below [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] what do we have here you were supposed to attend this stop pathetic [Music] apparently even this refuse has teased recoverability it's Brett hor the bo w still needs a little more work [Music] [Music] I have best hurry [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] where might you go my next mission the reclamation of the management training facility was an issue just going to walk away without taking responsibility for your failure the t-virus has escaped I will detonate the facility and dispose of it kommen don't forget who's in charge you can't just do what you feel like maybe you need a little reminder [Music] this should be intriguing I guess he didn't like his lesson fine we have the tailor's retrieval to take care of anyway everything for umbrella my pursuers left behind I regroup
with the stars Alpha Team there was no time for delays umbrellas command structure wasn't motion and the real struggle was about to begin I died once I will never forget the cold dark fingers of death reaching out for me however even that death was a necessary component of the big picture the virus that Birkin had created brought me back from the brink of annihilation when I awoke hatred became my master I found the tyrant that killed me was dead on the facility was just moments away from self-destruction I did not have time to enjoy my
newfound life I had something I needed to do time to grab the data and get out [Music] all data has been backed up to the U n at zero one three Santa guy was busy [Music] Wesker Albert I am afraid that as of 2400 hours I have taken it upon my authority to revoke your access privileges to the mainframe system possible are you I am Red Queen my primary objective is the management and protection of umbrella assets my secondary mission project you will regret this milady I'm promised time to change the plan I better secure
my escape then I will deal with them say again I won't for the network kindness it's time to take the virus for a test drive not bad at all [Music] [Music] what amazing tower [Music] [Music] [Music] Chris Jill I hope you survive long enough for us to have our tearful reunion [Music] you I thought we disposed of you nobody's perfect not even you Lisa [Music] [Music] the exit should be closed the hourglass is running low time to pick up the pace [Applause] your punch stubborn no time to play I need to find another room [Music]
she must join me [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] no stoppin one see starting a time [Music] [Music] she appears to be sparking me your desire for eternal slumber shall be granted the end has come be a good girl and stay dead this time and so I was reborn like a phoenix emerging from the flame I no longer needed umbrella a new horizon stretched out before me I had risen beyond the human race and cheated death itself leaving nothing to oppose me it is important to remain calm and collected even in the most extreme
situations an umbrellas underground laboratory and I forgot that wisdom something about the meeting with Leon changed me first things first I must escape this town and survive in order to accomplish my objective I can save the truth for after I make it out of love [Music] [Applause] I need to get out of here [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] contacts should be here by now we're supposed to move in that hotel this is the place [Music] [Applause] [Music] we lost as well and chose death Wesker and you later you have also failed your actions
of betraying us and helping that Leon fellow will have consequences for our organization see this it's a tissue fragment with Perkins g-virus despite some setbacks you haven't proven your value to us EDA there are two things you must be made aware of one and just moments Raccoon City will be completely eradicated by a government launched missile into an umbrella officer will be leaving town in a helicopter if you are not honored there will be no way to leave Raccoon City [Music] it isn't our best interest that you survived the g-virus sample is required if the
t-virus did this what would happen if the g-virus got out [Music] Wesker McCants how people and things that he can manipulate for his the disposed of I have to [Music] [Music] [Music] this city needs to fix its streets ah now I can use my new toy [Music] [Music] do you mind I'm in a hurry [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] but predictable can't you leave a girl alone that is there's too much in my ride I need to get higher maybe from there I just need to hit that container you can have it
[Music] you think I'm reckless vote you stole a computer core from your own company I wouldn't exactly call that stable the people who go down in history as its heroes are never stick inside um f zero one three is over the research with their umbrella will rise from the ashes [Music] I survived the fate of Raccoon City thanks to Wesker's warning of course I knew the only reason my life was spared was because I had the g-virus tissue fragment but I would settle things in time we were both used to being backstabbed and manipulated I
had a feeling our partnership would last a little while longer the only thing that can defeat power is more power that is the one constant in this universe however there is no point in power if it consumes itself I will enlist the help of an old friend against our common foe I will use one pawn to eliminate the other and emerge with the spoils for myself from the Russian government we can't let them get away with this yes it appears our fates are forever entwined [Music] it's like a little black cockroach bio has well for
contamination detected casualties over 90% of the research staff have been eliminated in a primary contamination zone the survival rate is less than 2% it is such a waste to destroy this place but we don't have a choice with you and Talos we can always start over [Music] proceed with the tables activation we need him operational before the Russian government arrives acknowledged we say activation program schedules to burn objects are approaching at high speeds toward the facility from the north-east did you think it would be that easy I'll enjoy this challenge out of my way now
[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I can use this I was expecting you small fry what's this [Music] hmm a shortcut [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] commonly the risk welcome to my humble abode I see you are still resolved to go down with the ship colonel umbrellas not going anywhere all of the pain the punishment and the difficulties help to make umbrellas stronger it's a shame you couldn't understand stand aside oh I almost forgot here are a few of my old friends I'd like to introduce you to rusha such a peaceful place
don't you agree a perfect place for your final resting spot I'm more powerful than last time a protective coat that leaves the Hat [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] not bad for a humanoid model [Music] facility [Music] [Music] one down [Music] [Music] looks like someone already went down good old Chris [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you're causing quite the diversion everything's going just as I expected [Music] [Applause] [Music] I admire that tenacity I have to short-circuit this you've really gone too far too much trouble what a waste of my time the computer
room is closed this room keeps repeating codenamed Talos a pinnacle of biological weaponry all controlled by the Red Queen computer the ultimate weapon you got Ivan not bad come services act yes she was activated that night at a mansion I extracted her before Raccoon City became nothing more than a memory her and I have a lot in common she linked with Talos desiring more information and more data she wanted to know the truth no matter how painful that reality may be that thing is merely a tool what it wants is something they used a determines
for it it's good that we can be honest with each other it's the sign of a healthy relationship it's a shame that his flinch has to end the lack of creativity disappoints my expected more from you I have to wake up wretched state come to and I found your weakness a guy enjoy your pain I hope you still have some fight left oh thread stronger with strike beauty orders with my powernow purpose remains as clear as ever fine have it your way music I have a big to keep we are not done yet requested data
transfer complete you the summation of umbrella on one desk this should come in handy it looks like you have finished what you came to do is well press just as I predicted goodbye fair lady date huh poor initialized elite 7th until completion [Music] you you all data he raised [Music] [Music] sooo umbrella will be gone forever they held the power of the t-virus in their hands but they land the proper vision the true vision of the future and now it falls to me to usher in this new future my dear Spencer how the mighty have
fallen your umbrella has folded and now you are a fugitive in the same world you once sought to control welcome to the umbrella archives please select the desired service from the menu [Music] we shall meet again before the conclusion of this drama then you will learn of the history I will write forth
