Some good questions but, more importantly to me is:

-What is up with Raymond? He is apparently a triple agent working for Lansdale, O'brian and with Jessica for the organization all at once. That's fine. But, the problem is then, why did Jessica shoot him, why did he fake his death, why did he tell parker Jessica was the mole and that she was trying to activate the self destruct etc? It doesn't make a lot of sense.

If Jessica and Raymond have the same goals and are working together, there was no reason for Jessica to shoot him in the first place. The scene heavily implies she shoots him to save her cover and prevent him from spilling the beans about Lansdale. This obviously starts to blow her cover by doing so.

Raymond then telling parker that Jessica is the mole, faking his death only to come back and then blow jessica's cover and tell parker about the self destruct activation etc. only further complicate things.

If they're both working towards the same goal and together, it makes no sense they'd constantly screw each other over and make things more difficult.

Raymond is the one who exposed her as the mole which keith and quint had discovered and whatnot. So it's understandable that he might have tried to keep his own cover by blowing hers since hers was up already. But, that doesn't explain why she shoots him during his veltro gig.

Oh and also, you already mentioned it, but, how the hell did norman and veltro survive for a damn year under water. He doesn't use the t-abyss virus until you confront him. And i know there were some bodies on the table so cannibalism was going on, but, i don't see how they could survive on limited bodies and limited oxygen for a year under water. And if he did inject himself with t-abyss to survive, how come everyone else gets instantly infected yet he can survive an entire year without mutating? That whole 'revenge' thing makes no sense.


Oh and to answer some of your questions:

-Raymond blew up the tugboat as part of O'brian's plan to keep jill and parker on the ship until the mole could be uncovered.

-O'Brian's plan was a secret but the mission wasn't. The veltro resurgance would obviously be known by the FBC as that was the plan all along to get lansdale to notice it and send in his mole to find out what was going on. That's how Lansdale knew.

-Weren't the ships originally owned by Umbrella? That would explain the laboratories in them.

-It seemed Lansdale wanted the vaccine all to save face. Veltro would raise the bio-terrorism alert around the world like they wanted and the vaccine in FBC's hands would make the FBC look good like 'After arduous work the FBC has created a cure to one of these deadly bio-terrorist virus'! You can trust the FBC to look out for the public!'

Terragrigia was chosen because it was a "big" and significant target. I don't think there was a specific reason. Veltro wanted to be noticed.


This one I don't have a clue about. Could be a bit of both.


Raymond blew up the tugboat. He was working with O'Brian and kept Parker and Jill on the ship so that they would discover the truth behind Terragrigia (by finding the "secret of the Zenobia") and expose Lansdale.


I'm sure the BSAA would remember if it was a rerun. Pretty sure it came from the sunken Queen Dido. Somehow.


Raymond destroys both. They're recent and he happens to be close to them.


FBC agent, had no idea what was really going on.


Lansdale and the research team he organized "seized" the ships from Veltro after the Terragrigia Panic.


"Paraguas Line" (Umbrella Line) renovated them in the 80s and most likely added the laboratories. Lansdale used them because they were good cover.


They were set to be junked in 2003/4, but disappeared.


I assumed Jessica.


Jessica activated it when she was on it with Chris. Only real explanation. The satellite image showed what was presumably the Zenobia (it wasn't sinking), but it turned out to be the Semiramis.


...Yeah, none of this was explained. Raymond is like "rur rur why did the Zenobia go undetected?" but nothing was actually stated.


Veltro was a small group of only a few dozen men at best. A small number (the ones at the airport) probably survived, and were uncoordinated. The rest went down on the Queen Dido.


To destroy the evidence.



The people on the Queen Zenobia were all Lansdale's men after Terragrigia.



...Never explained.



Lansdale's research was officially supposed to help prevent bioterrorism (by... developing a virus) somehow. There's also the fact that the GPC is probably another god damn organization that wants viruses (promoting development of t-Abyss, then getting Raymond and Jessica to retrieve it).



Veltro -> researchers. No idea what happened before they were given to Veltro.



Probably the same reason as Downing in DEGENERATION: viruses aren't that much of a product without a vaccine. Also most likely to prevent further incidents involving it.



He locked them up as they were considered evidence. Why he didn't destroy the ships... no idea. Never explained.



Ship was sinking, maybe he had to find another route or some shit?



Injected himself once in the video (which was presumably shortly before Chris and Jill arrived), ingested more of it in the hall. We don't know much about him or why his transformation was so special.



There are zero dates in the game at all, so... fuck knows?



I want this to be true. But Vester's profile (and Rachael's) was referring to the FBC. Parker and Jessica were the exact same. "organization" doesn't automatically mean the "Organization" which Ada works for. It's a very, very general term. It might very well turn out to be the case, but at this moment there's no way of telling. Maybe "Jessica's Report" will give a few more hints?



Part of the act. As retarded as it is, that is the only real explanation.

We will most likely have to rely on supplemental material to fully understand the plot of Revelations. That is the case with most of the games in the series.

I think Rachel was an FBC agent assisting Raymond but was kept in the dark about the finer details of the mission. I think the 'Mysterious Instructions' file was written by Raymond to Rachel. She set up the 'Chris' dummy and was to keep out of sight whilst Raymond would make contact with Jill and Parker every once in a while, but unfortunately she was killed early on.

I think Norman's first video message was recorded as soon as the Dido sank. Doesn't he mention something about the ship being fully submerged now, or something along those lines?

I wonder if his second message with the threat to infect 1/5 of the world's waters was triggered after the team of FBC agents stormed the Queen Dido?

I can't remember exactly as I have still only just played the game once but doesn't the dead FBC agent record his message on the dictaphone at 19:48hrs, then the threat from Norman and Veltro comes in at about 21:00?

Mysterious Instructions file was written by O'Brian to Raymond.

That's what I thought at first, but if O'Brian and Raymond had been planning this for so long, I can't imagine the orders being relayed in such cryptic tones.

Plus if they were for Raymond he pretty much ignores this part:



Attacking Jill on the bridge, locking them both up, taking their weapons and helping them several times doesn't really count as concealment.
I think they are Raymond's orders for Rachel, and he only admitted her presence to Jill and Parker because she had failed to report in to him.

Raymond likely only used her as she was a dumb blonde who wouldn't ask too many questions. I don't think she has any higher consequence than that.

Both Raymond's and Rachael's contained references to a mysterious organization because the FBC wasn't announced yet. The developers even said that we'd be "hearing about it soon", and like clockwork, the FBC was announced with a trailer focusing on them. Their profiles were just never updated on the official site to mention the FBC. Not saying it's impossible for them to be working for the same organization as Ada, which I would rather like, but right now there's just a very loose possible link.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of supplemental books to help explain most of the nagging plot issues (which is honestly the case with pretty much every game in the series). Hopefully they release one on-par with the "INSIDE OF BIOHAZARD THE DARKSIDE CHRONICLES".

She confirms it? What does she say?

In the first edition of Wesker's Report, I believe he outright says "company" (business/enterprise), while in the COLLECTOR'S BOX revised edition, he says "organization".
