Chapter 1: Searching for Answers

The year is 2000

Following the incident in 1998 where Umbrella kidnapped members of the only group that opposed them before they were rescued by the remaining members, matters continued unabated.

Despite their best attempts Umbrella was unable to destroy the opposing group, and vice-versa. However Umbrella now had a new enemy, TerraSave, a group of people against their experiments. TerraSave was noted as a lesser threat by Umbrella since they didn't take violent action, simply protests.

Recently however, Tim Shaffer had noted that, after his father's death, he didn't know about his mother's fate. Therefore he and Jason planned to break into an Umbrella facility and find out; there was after all, a slim hope remained that she was still alive.

The guard sighed as he sat in his small shack office. He looked across the vast Nevada desert; he was guarding the gate to a small outpost, little more than a data archive for Umbrella.

'What did I do to get sent to this remote place?' He wondered to himself.

Just then he saw something, a van approaching; even at a distance he could spot the Umbrella logo on it; He stood up and walked over to the security window. The van parked in front of the gate and the two figures inside got out. The first was a young Caucasian man, around twenty-four with medium length messy black hair, blue eyes and a toned build. The second was a twenty-one Caucasian man; with short brown hair, blue eyes and a toned build. They were both dressed in black pants, a grey shirt, a grey cap, black socks and black shoes; Umbrella delivery men outfits, the logo was visible on the left breast of the shirt. They approached the window, the older man handed a clipboard through the slot. The guard read it, it was a list of what they were delivering, mainly food supplies for the base.

The guard looked up suspiciously. "Do you have any ID?"

Both men handed ID's over, they checked out so the guard handed them and the clipboard back. The guard opened the gate.

"Kitchen entrance, round the back." He explained.

Both men nodded and got in the van and drove into the base.

They parked the van around the back and prepared to enter the base.

"Can't believe that actually worked." Tim Shaffer stated as he turned to his companion. "Let's go, we have to hurry."

Jason Maxwell nodded and they headed to the kitchen door. Jason checked the hinges, it opened outwards. He nodded to Tim and took cover. Tim knocked on the door. There was a brief pause then the door opened. The man looked at him suspiciously.

"Yeah, what do you want?" He asked.

Tim explained about the delivery, buying time, sure enough there was no one else in the room, he gave Jason a signal. Jason slammed the door into the man, knocking him out. They moved the man inside and hid him. Jason checked the door and the outer corridor.

"Okay, ready, let's go."

They slipped out of the kitchen and moved quietly, avoiding being seen. They continued to search through the building; avoiding guards and then, finally, they found what they were looking for; the computer database room. They slipped in and closed the door behind them.

"Okay, we're here." Tim stated, "I'll let you work your magic."

Jason shook his head and approached the computer; he then began hacking into the mainframe.

While Jason worked Tim kept an eye out. Luckily no one came along.

'I see why Jason chose this place for our mission.' Tim thought to himself. 'Understaffed, out of the way, perfect for us to do this with little chance of being caught. Still, can't be complacent.'

Just then Jason called out.

"Hey, I'm in."

Tim came over and saw Jason browsing through the files.

Jason turned to look at Tim. "So, what am I looking for?"

Tim sighed and then explained. "A file for, Rosemarie Shaffer…my mom."

Jason nodded slowly.

"You're looking to see if she's still alive. Okay."
Jason began to scroll down to the R's but then stopped at the N's. His face showed nothing but shock.

"No, they haven't completed that, have they?"

Tim looked at the file; it was labelled Project NEMESIS. Tim looked at the file and Jason, confused.

"What's wrong, what's Project NEMESIS?" He asked, Jason sighed and then explained.

"The worst B.O.W. yet; it's retained all of its human intelligence and is a dangerous predator, that can be assigned targets. It will then pursue the target until it has destroyed it."

Tim gaped in shock, but Jason shook his head.

"If we have to deal with it, leave it to me. My Virus should give me a slight edge. Anyway, here we are, Rosemarie Shaffer."

Tim looked; Jason had indeed found his mother's file.

They examined the file and Tim was relieved; Rosemarie Shaffer was still alive, she was in fact the person in charge of TerraSave and was currently living in New York, in the main office. Satisfied with this they shut the computer down and slipped out of the room. They were able to sneak back to the van without being caught and drove out of the gate; the guard nodded and they drove off. Finally they reached their safe house and headed inside. Due to the time the others were asleep. Tim sighed and then turned to Jason.

"Hey Jason…Tomorrow, could we go to New York…I; I'd like to see mom again; she doesn't know about dad…I have to be the one to tell her."

Jason nodded. "I understand, I'll talk to the others; then we'll head off for New York tomorrow."

Tim smiled and thanked Jason before they both removed their disguises and headed off to bed. They were ready, by tomorrow they would head off to New York, to reunite Tim with his mother.
