"ALEXANDER'S MEMOIRS"

My father Edward discovered the Progenitor Virus in cooperation with Lord Spencer, a fellow aristocrat, and repeated research for military application.
Before long, research results began to appear, a variant of the Progenitor Virus generally called the T-Virus.
Father established Umbrella Pharmaceuticals to camouflage that research.

I, the son, specialized in genetic engineering and pushed forward a top secret project to support father's research.
However, my research ran into difficulties in the middle of the project and father has passed away.
In my reign, we greatly fell behind other researchers in T-Virus research and the Ashford family name, which began from the great founder Veronica, has fallen on the ground.

At this rate, Spencer will control Umbrella.
I must advance the project immediately so that Spencer does not realize.

After considering everything, I decided to prepare a large-scale laboratory and equipment for the transport terminal using the abandoned mine remains of the Antarctic.

Within the facility I will build identical rooms based on the blueprints of my mansion which the late Trevor left.

For confidentiality, I decided to call this top-secret project by a code name.
The founder of the Ashfords, the beautiful Veronica whose reincarnation I hope for.
Research results worthy of her name will no doubt bring glory to the Ashfords again.

VIRUS MEMO

There is not much time.
I will instruct how to use that in question.
For the sake of synchronization, constraint is not needed.

The sample which I handed over is one of the variant strains.
It has an interesting property.

Injection is hypothesized to be completed at least five minutes before the event.
Permeation is quick but still requires several minutes.

If even a tissue fragment remains, even if it results in death, the virus will reconstruct body tissue and revive.

In animal experiments, 70% changed into what is called a "strengthened state."
Muscular strength and cardiovascular ability were enhanced upon survival.

The virus acts to overcome the cause of death.

Strenghtening of the body was not seen in the remaining 20% that were revived.
10% did not revive.

Revival probability is approximately 90%.
Although I have not tested it on people, it's not a bad gamble.

I don't know what you'll use it for, but I know you'll use it well... good luck.

ABOUT UMBRELLA'S FOUNDING

(Extracted from the Umbrella Company History)

Foreword

Our company was founded in 1968 by three people, myself, my friend Edward Ashford and Dr. James Marcus, an authority on viruses.
From the beginning we held a certain conviction.

Someday, virus research would deeply influence the enhancement of health for people around the world.
The time has come to serve the purpose to build a bright society, and rich life.

The symbol of Umbrella (the umbrella) reflects this idea which will never change.

"Protecting the health of the people."

Technology is the umbrella that will serve that purpose.

Thanks to this, we expanded our operations unhindered and the Umbrella symbol spread in the world.
For 40 years we have sent peace of mind and safety to various families and medical settings based on our determined purpose.
I give thanks again, to the customers of our company around the world, employees, and investors who supported this growth.

Edward and James have come into the position of watching from the heavens now.
I am alone, but our concept from the establishment of the company will not change.
They are probably proud of today's glory.

From this point on, we continue making constant efforts and promise to offer happiness to everyone with further development.

Our umbrella will continue to protect your future.
Please, do not change your patronage and support.

Umbrella Corporation Leader
Oswell E. Spencer

EMERGENCY REQUISITION ORDER

Today 1998.9.29. At 12:00, in accordance with Article 12 of Emergency Internal Regulation, all personnel and equipment attached to this aircraft will be under the command of Chief Bodyguard, Sergei Vladimir.

All rejection of orders is not permitted.
We cannot guarantee your life if you disobey command.

1)
This aircraft will invade Raccoon City airspace under virus contamination and drop T1 organism on the Raccoon Police Department.

This will allow the complete elimination of survivors in the police department to be successful.

2)
Drop all remaining loaded "T" on the Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A.
Ambush U.S. Special Forces.

It is presumed that these Special Forces have an expert degree of training and the strongest equipment.

Must be annihilated with utmost effort.

3)
This aircraft will leave Raccoon City airspace immediately afterwards.

In addition, after having released all T, there is a cargo which you must transport from the area concerned, however details will be instructed later.

WILLIAM BIRKIN

The skilled scientist whom Umbrella is proud of.
The chief executive of the G-Virus development project.

He became the heart of t-Virus related research in order to take over Marcus' research.

However, he stopped getting along well with Umbrella Headquarters due to the circumstances of G-Virus development, and approached the U.S. Government secretly.

Therefore, he was attacked by the Security Service of Umbrella, and just before his death, administered G to himself and became a monster.
He has a wife Annette and only daughter, Sherry.

JAMES MARCUS

The first director of the Umbrella executive training school.

He was devoted to virus research, and was a member of Umbrella's establishment that discovered the Progenitor Virus.

He was a cruel person that used Umbrella employees for experiments on the human body, the victims became nearly 20 people.

He was assassinated in 1988 by Wesker and Birkin who received a secret order from Spencer.

However, he achieved a mysterious revival ten years later and advocated revenge on Umbrella and world destruction, and and began to act secretly.

WESKER'S REPORT "TYRANT PROJECT PROBLEM"

Our research went into the third stage.

Obedient and proficient memory power, observes orders quickly.
A trained strengthened body, able to be used without rest, and without expressing complaint.
The ultimate organism biological weapon for combat, a package only ideal as a soldier...
It was to create a monster called the nickname "Tyrant".

However, there was a large barrier in the research from the beginning.
The acquisition of an "organism" to become the basis of the Tyrant was difficult.

This is because human adaptation as a "Tyrant" genetically was very limited.

A property of the "t-Virus" was the main cause there.
Although the "t-Virus variant" for producing "Zombies" and "Hunters" was adaptable for almost all humans, there was a problem which decays brain tissue considerably.

It cannot become a "Tyrant" if it cannot maintain some intelligence.

Birkin extracted a new "variant" which suppressed the influence on the brain to a minimum if it completely adapted in order to overcome the problem.

However, for the variant, there were extremely few humans with the genes to adapt to it.

The simulation of the Gene Analysis Section said that it was a ratio of "one in ten million".

Other than this, they merely become a Zombie.

When research progressed, we should have been able to develop a different type of "t-Virus" which much more humans adapted to as a "Tyrant".

But in order to advance the research, a human with full adaptation to the new "variant" was required first.

However, the talk of searching the whole nation of the United States for experiment bodies and scraping up only several dozen people was unrealistic.

Out of necessity, we took measures to gather samples by force from other laboratories which were relatively close to the ideal gene pattern.

We did not seem to be able to easily remove the reef which we ran aground.

Great anxiety covered us.

As our genetic mapping of the new virus (The Abyss) neared completion, the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium offered the assistance of their research branch via their contacts in an unnamed country.

今回発見された新たなウィルス、ジ・アビスその遺伝子解析が完了に近づいた頃、某国組織のルートを通じて国際的製薬企業の研究機関が協力を申し出てきた。

Now, when the gene analysis of the newly discovered virus The Abyss neared completion, a research institution of an international pharmaceutical company offered assistance through a certain country organization.

He succeeded in escaping from Raccoon City just before the bombing.
