The underground facility was rather quiet, with two Umbrella squads infiltrating and preparing to secure both experimental viruses and their respective creators. The one sent to secure G had a rather... unfortunate accident with William Birkin. One that would mean their deaths shortly, even if the mission seemed to mostly be a success.
Team Jackal, sent to secure H? Well, they didn't even get the chance to feel victory.

A black haired man in a lab coat quietly typed down notes on a tablet, as he switched his gaze from the readings on his computer, and the form in the next room, separated by a glass wall, laying motionless on a table. Before the scientist was a vial of glowing blue liquid, ready to be modified. "Promising... genetic decay is more or less countered by the regenerative properties... skin hardened like steel... but..."
"We're here for the H-Virus, Walker." The sound of the unfamiliar voice made the now identified doctor glance behind him at the group of dark clothed gunmen. "Hmmm. Wasn't expecting you so early. Higher ups getting desperate?" Came his condescending remark, before turning back to his work nonchalantly.
The mood of the group became a bit more agitated, especially as a brief sound of gunfire echoed throughout the silence. "Doctor Walker, give us H." The leader demanded yet again, flicking his hand once to signal the rest of his squad to aim at the lone man.
Almost as if the doctor could sense the guns now trained on his back, he stiffened up, before slowly grabbing the blue vial and glancing behind him. "Fine. Let me get the others." The leader gave a sharp nod, gesturing with his rifle to be quick about it.
Doctor Walker stiffly walked over to the other side of the room, where a small closet was, the soldiers following him ever so slowly. Opening the metal door revealed a storage case, were several glimmering vials were safely tucked away in.
He typed in a code to the side of the case, the soft beeps of the pad easing the gunmen ever so slightly at the smooth progress. An ease that was promptly erased when finishing the code made the door suddenly slam into place, with the other entrances into the lab room abruptly closing and locking themselves.
"What the hell-" Immediately the group was back to back, guns waving about, as the leader attempted to open the closet door. It was locked. Unnoticed by any of them, the racket made the figure in the opposite room stir, and slowly move off the table.
Their attention was grabbed by a screen on the far wall flickering to life, revealing the smug smirk of Doctor Walker. "Good to know that Umbrella still hires idiots like you to do high priority missions." The snide comment, of course, riled up the group even further. "What the hell are you doing, Walker?!"
"Oh, nothing much. Just doing another trial run... after all, I've yet to finish my work. Thank you for being such willing test subjects!" One of the soldier's kicked at the closet door, even as the leader spat back at the scientist. "What trial run?!"
"A trial run for my beloved Nidus. Please, run wild, enjoy yourself. You've earned it." With that, the screen became dark again, as one soldier finally caught sight of the figure... a twisted aberration of flesh, with glowing green eyes glaring at them from behind the glass.
Of course, this happened just a bit too late; the creature suddenly slammed into, and through, the glass, and leaped at the soldiers.
The facility echoed with the sounds of gunfire, screaming, and things both organic and inorganic breaking. Once the sounds of battle faded away, silence once again fell upon the building... only for a hate-filled, demented howl to fill the emptiness.

So, I've found myself playing a lot of Warframe recently, and while I've yet to get to actually get Nidus, I recently got a Helminth Charger, and I found myself falling in love with its design. And to add to that, I love Nidus's design as well, and watching playthroughs of the Resident Evil 2 remake, this idea just sort of formed in my head.
I really don't know if I'll continue this, as it was just an idea I had (though I already have written down a bunch of miscellaneous information so that if I do carry on, I'll have quite a bit to start from), though if anyone might be interested in the premise, just PM me and I'll pass along all the ideas I've written down for this.
And, of course, I don't own anything but my own OCs, yadda yadda yadda.
Anyways, Pyrus out!
