Umbrella had seen better days. It truly had. What a way to start a new year with utter failure. To add insult to injury, the OpRev situation, which supposedly had blown over, still brought its share of problems to Umbrella. The families of the deceased S.T.A.R.S. team members had been attempting lawsuits against the megaconglomorate company ever since the incident, and even though the severe lack of evidence kept the cases in Umbrella's favor, their reputation had severely dropped with the spreading word of their possible experiments. As this came to Ms. Black's mind, it brought a slight smile to her face. Their experiments had been getting more advanced with less faults the further they went on, and she was more than sure that their newest project would be the winner. After all, she was heading it. Her focus was broken when her attention was called back into the board meeting.
"Black, your Sin experiment, how is it coming along as of now?" questioned Mr. Green. Although Umbrella was now primarily run by Ms. Black and her seven counterparts, Green had pretty much become the leader of them all. He adjusted his thin-rimmed glasses as he spoke and awaited Black's reply.
"Exemplary. Progress continues to move nowhere but forward," Mr. Red chimed in, saving Black from the embarassment of simply not paying attention to Green's jabbering. He was an intelligent man, true, but he was too focused on hearing his own voice.Green put an emphasis on teamwork, but only because in the end he knew that the credit would go to him..Although Black did have a tight bond with Mr. Red and Mr. Brown, she knew that she could not stick her neck out for anyone aside for herself. She adjusted the collar of her black suit before she began to speak.
"You see Green, all seven of the desired test subjects have been acquired, and all have shown positive reactions to their treatments. None of them have shown any physical change yet, but this will soon occur with the virus's progression." One of Black's favorite parts about these experiments was codenaming the masterpieces that the virus made of what once were simple humans. She keenly noticed beforehand that her seven test subjects could correspond with the seven deadly sins: gluttony, greed, sloth, lust, pride, envy, and wrath. She found it quite coincidential that each of her subjects somehow expressed one of the seven sins almost on a daily basis. "This project will certainly be the one to perfect the virus. I swear it to you."
"I have high hopes Ms. Black. Don't let me down." She couldn't help but mentally chuckle to herself. If only the others had known a thing about what she was REALLY doing.
