Love Override
Warning:
firstly THIS IS A REWRITE .Story contains heavy refernces to Metal Gear (spoiler alert) Solid Snake will make a guest appearance in chapters 1-3 and unless voted to stick around,he'll see himself out of the fic permanantly .And I bet you wonder why is this not in crossover? Because characters from DMC make and appearance and will be important later as well as a few Marvel references and other throwaway background fun .Crossover is for two sections and this has more then two (I did the same thing with 'the breaking game' . . .seriously,Liara T'soni was there and so was Samus Aran ,guys .It is just that it is mostly Resident evil centric and is centered around a Resident evil character and Umbrella's shit .The MGS references will pretty much drop sooner rather than later .

"Yes,these are the two most promising of the Wesker Children .William and Albert Wesker",Spencer said from his seat as he eyed the surveillance camera .Through the screen,the image of Marcus's two protege's was seen in black and white . The two were working on some thing or another,taking notes as they worked .
"And this is their work?",the short red headed woman said ,looking through a folder .
"Yes it is,Dr .Clark . Impressed?",she asked .
"Para-Medic,is what I go by these days .But Dr .Clark for now",she said .
"Really? So you really did make the ranks of FOX . I expected no less of you,my dear",Spencer said .The woman chuckled a bit and let a smile cross her lips .
"I'm flattered .And to answer your question,yes .Yes indeed,this is very impressive .The products of the Wesker project here in the flesh . So,what of Project Cogito?",she asked .
"The idea is to condition obedience into the subject .Total obedience ,no hesitation .And what is it that makes people hesitate? Emotion,personal input .That must be stripped away .Hence ,implants in the limbic system,to alter emotional response ",Spencer said .He stood up from his chair and pulled down a chart of the human brain .
"That seems plausible,but I'm unsure if that is a good thing in the long run", said .
"True,true,but I am getting to that .The next part is very crucial .Stimulation of the pleasure centers ,to illicit a positive response .Much like when someone does an activity they enjoy only much more intense .Like a drug of will become addicted to the mental stimulation that comes from it ,that comes from carrying out his orders .So that even if the implants were somehow removed,he will want to obey way ,it will balance out without completely stripping him of his ability to feel ,as there are certain emotions we want kept intact ",Spencer said .
"And William?",she asked .
"William's body rejected the process .Scar tissue in the brain rendered the implants infective .But Albert,Albert something else entirely .He was a complete success . We found that somewhere down the line he developed 'dissociative personality disorder' .And while he is a very brilliant scientist,I see this as potential for espionage .This is what makes him best for Cogito",Spencer said .
"Yes . . .he would be the perfect spy .He can never tell a lie because even he would believe the lie to be true . . . .interesting .Tell me about those two sides",Dr .Clark said .
"There are three dominant personalities present . Albert, Wesker and Albert Wesker ",Spencer said,sitting back in his chair .He reached into his desk and pulled out a file folder and sat it down .
"Albert,charming,bookish and outright harmless .A dreamer and a humanitarian,someone who people would find completely unassuming .The bashful boy you see there in the screen,that is Albert .Poor kid even wears shades because he doesn't like people looking in his eyes ",he said .
Dr .Clark observed the video ,closely watching Albert's habits .According to her notes,he was at around eighteen years old ,still a boy .And he was certainly acting like it .As of now,he was drumming on the desk,sitting awkwardly in his seat while looking over William's shoulder .As William was deep in concentration, Albert flicked William's bangs causing him to look from the microscope in annoyance .Albert just smiled and handed over a petri dish as if a peace offering ,a shy smile on his face .William finally left the microscope and began saying something to Albert who hastily scribbled down notes and was seemingly in awe *(1) .
He slid the folder over and picked up the remote on his desk and turned the station .
"And this personality here .This is Wesker .Cold ,calculating, and utterly ruthless .This is the mode we use for combat simulations ",Spencer said .
The video of Wesker played,but it was nothing like what was seen through surveillance .In the video ,Wesker had walked up to two men in uniforms,USS officers for Umbrella .All seemed well as he spoke to them,until one of them look uneasy .They eyed him and grabbed his at him intending to remove him from the premises,but he pulled away from them and started fighting the two men .Within minutes,he had taken down the both of them with his bare hands and bike chain,leaving both of them dead on the ground .He reached down and snatched up the keys from one of them and proceeded to the training room .
"Good training,that one .He has potential",she said .
"Oh,that was just a taste .Watch this",he said an played the next video .
In the next film,a young Albert Wesker was backed into a corner by four soldiers armed with guns .He had a look of caution ,eyeing the scene before him .He surrendered,looking fearful,got on the ground,did as he was told .He truly looked like a frightened child,from his trembling hands to his sobbing voice .Then,when one of them went to apprehend him,he grabbed the man's leg and he hit the ground .Before anyone could stop him,Wesker had the man's gun and held him hostage .The others tried to negotiate with them,but he started picking them off before shooting the man in front of him execution style .He then cleaned his glasses on his shirt and walked away as if nothing happened .After that,the video jumped to a scene of a shaken Albert being questioned by some other officers .
"The last display you saw there,Albert,Wesker and Albert Wesker,all working in conjunction .First,Albert Wesker,the halfway point between the two,cautious,careful ,alert but not a threat .Albert here,feigns innocence,plays on a potential sympathetic party .As you can see,the soldiers hesitated,so it worked .Then Wesker . . . Wesker took the opportunity to strike as soon as it came .
'It happened so fast . . . I'm not entirely sure how .I-I jst defended myself .Am I in some sort of trouble?',Albert's voice played through a recording .He was unafraid,seemingly,but he was hesitant
"And last,Albert himself,unsure of what was happening .This ensures that no matter who tried to interrogate him,probe him or whatever tricks they may have ,they will never get a straight answer .Unless Wesker finds it beneficial to offer one .Not to mention,the multiple personalities confuse others around him ,making them uneasy,making them sloppy and giving Wesker his chance to get at them",Spencer said .
"And while Albert was dominant at the time, believe me ,Wesker is working out a plan to his own benefit ",Spencer added . nodded and scribbled something down .
"I see .I can see where this is going .I had known a woman of similar merit .You remember*(2) Elisa and Ursula?",she asked .
"Indeed I do",he said .
"Albert and Wesker .Elisa and Ursula .I can very much see where this is going .Better now that Wesker and Albert look the same completely .Wesker can do what he wants and Albert will cover for him .He is the perfect candidate .What luck",she said .
"Exactly .The perfect field agent .And with the virus research progressing,I can see in the near future having a perfect super soldier able to achieve the impossible like it's nothing",he said .
"I see .Maybe in the future,he could be of use .Tell me more how the system works",Dr .Clark said,staring infatuated almost at the screen .She opened the file and looked at some shots of Wesker .
"His default persona is Albert .But when he is threatened,he reverts to Wesker .We have foundt a way to trigger the Wesker persona at will . First,shut off certain emotional responses,lower and elevate others .Key example,fear ,decrease but not strip completely as self preservation must still be intact .Step two,triggering the pleasure centers in his brain whenever he does something . . .deceptive or harmful .This is able to make him easily carry out tasks that others cannot .We all know about those concentration camps,and how the soldiers were too weak willed to do their jobs *(3) .There will be none of that with Wesker .
As for Albert,we can increase Albert's effectiveness as well .Albert plays on the sympathy and emotions of others .When Albert senses a weakness in others,he gets himself close to them,inserts himself into their lives .Because of his upbringing,Albert naturally crazes this attention and will actively seek it out .We can manipulate him into using this persona while keeping Wesker from being completely lost ",he said .
"Hmm I see",Dr. Clark said .
"However,I admit that regrettably ,there is but one weakness",he said .
"And that would be?",Dr .Clark said .
"The chemical reaction to affection can potentially override the Cogito system .Dare I say it,but . . . love .If he were to fall in love,there will be in imbalance in chemicals such as oxytocin * (4) which will override the mental stimulation provided from the implants ",he said in disgust .Dr .Clark frowned .
"And how is that part managed?",she said .
"Simple .Shower him with praise and affection so that he develops love and loyalty to us,to me,regardless .That way,he will obey ,whether or not Cogito is active .That and set up a few . . . bad scenarios with some of his female companions .That way,he won't want to seek out this love and stick close to home",he said .
"And you're sure from the outside could get in",she said .
"Hardly .First,his high IQ *(5) makes it very difficult to establish connections of those beneath him in that aspect .Not to mention the fact that he goes nowhere alone .Dr .Birkin follows him like a shadow .As far as friends,do you see how him and Birkin work together? They are brothers ,he is Albert's only true friend and because of William's volatile and jealous personality ,no one else could get anywhere near that close to Albert .
The pair have carried out assignments together before as well .One of these days,Dr .Birkin will become Albert's new handler .And because we own Birkin,we own Albert as well .There is no risk of him going anywhere or doing anything unpredictable .As long as he is treated wel by by me, he is essentially mine to control as I see fit .And Albert gets the best of the best,so there are no problems there .He is also to be treated not so well by others to facilitate this attachment .
Also,his natural personality is very introvert and drawn in .He is not a socialite,unless Wesker needs him to be .Therefore,no risk of anyone getting too close .As they say,more with honey than vinegar",Spencer said .
"I see .I will return in a year's time to see the results of his conditioning,Lord Spencer",she said,finishing her notes .A chuckle came from her lips as she stood .
"Is there something I'm missing?",Spencer said,curious .
"Not really .Just that I can see his mother in him",she said ,gathering her notes .
"He does resemble her *(6) a bit,doesn't he?",Spencer said .
September 4,1998
"I'm going to get you out of here,Albert .I swear I will",Dr .Birkin murmured to himself .
Under the cover of night,William and Annette Birkin lurked outside of an Umbrella base,dressed in all black .They both knew the risk if they were to be caught . . .like anyone else who went against Umbrella,they would vanish into the night .But right now,that wasn't important .At the end of the day,Umbrella would likely kill them for some reason or another and truth be told,they wanted to die for something they believed in ,whatever little difference it made .
"Wait here,I'm going to go get the operative",Bikrin said to Annette .
"Alright,I'll keep an eye out",she said .Birkin nodded and crawled away .
"Hello,come in Otacon .This is Geist ",Birkin said quietly and waited for an answer .
"Otacon here,what's the situation?",he asked .
"They have Wesker .I saw him being transported to the decontamination chambers and back .I believe they have him drugged .There are at least three easy ways into this place .I will send the schematics and you can send in Snake whenever you're ready",he said .
"Good .Anything else?",Hal asked .
"Agent Wong's inside already inside,preparing to do the blood transfusion to clear out the nano-bots from Wesker's blood .She even managed to get all the information to turn over to the CIA .All Snake would have to do is infiltrate the base and gain access to the holding cells through Wong and spring him and LittleDevil",Birkin said .
"Good,I'll just cal-"
"Already here",Snake answered .
"The hell,Snake!",Otacon said .
"I told you the channels were shaky .Next time,make 'em more secure",he said .
"Alright,alright .I'll do it as soon as I can .But right now,you have a job to do ",Otacon said .
"I know,I know .Get those two out of there before the next Phase .I'm on it",Snake said .
"Good,just come out in one piece,Snake",Otacon said .
"Whatever you say,mom",Snake answered .
1)In the Wesker report,Wesker admitted to being inferior to Birkin in regards to science
2)Metal Gear Portable Ops character with dissociative personality disorder
3)I once spoke to a holocaust survivor before going to the holocaust museum who recounted guards being too depressed to actually want to cause harm to prisoners . . .his name was Elie Wiesel
4)Oxytocin is dubbed 'the love chemical' as it affects pair bonding ,strengthens romantic bonds in humans
5)this is true .IQ level affects social interaction,I can vouch for this .That genius level Albert Wesker will have no friends
6)Now really what woman in Metal Gear does Wesker look like and the years actually match up to? I'll give you a cookie if you guess
