A Resident Evil Within
Prologue
My name is Nina Buck and I will tell you a story to help humanity live. The umbrella corporation made a mistake when they first started with the T-virus and now it is close to ending humanity if we don't stand together. I will tell you facts of our leader Alice and how she met me in the beginning and to this day have been together. I will start with how I became part of all this and why I didn't die with the others in the Hive.
Living in the Hive as a security guard I learned to get along with everyone else and even make sure to be ready for any situation. My outfit was the usual blue security outfit with badge but I carried around two twin Beretta pistols with full clips as well as 2 spare clips for each. In my locker near the dog cages I have an old sword handed down through the family that I kept there just in case. I had been hired by the Umbrella Corporation five years ago to work in the Hive because of my record in the military and my service record of being a good soldier. Being in the hive for 5 years I have learned that not all people are kind and that patrolling the halls keeps me on alert since the offices have limited security cameras which would not help if there was a fight off screen.
Patrolling the corridors I passed by the usual paper workers, scientists, and technicians who constantly were coming in and leaving from the Hive on a daily basis. I stayed in the usual areas making sure to keep watch over everyone while looking as if I didn't want to hurt someone. In the 5 years I have been here and with only three instances where I had to come into action I was feeling trigger happy today and really started to regret working here as it barely had anything interesting to do around here. That day I never knew that my training and even my life was not ready for what would turn out to be the end of the world. On my usual patrol through the hallways I hear the alarms, as they blare in my ears, for a fire going off. I start to tell people to come with me to the stairs and to evacuate but I am too late as I watch the doors seal and lock in place. Going up to the door I look inside at the people as I try the usual security override code to try and open them manually but my access is denied.
I try again and fail as I say to the people in the office, "Remain calm. I will be right back with the new security codes and my partner, (insert name here) and we will help you."
Going to the elevators nearby I press the down button lighting it up and I wait for it to slowly arrive at the destination. Finding that they are not moving for some reason I hear something terrifying that scared me. I hear people screaming inside the elevator in front of me as it drops down and with a feeling of shock I hear it crash and explode. Feeling sick at this I have a horrible thought which causes me to head back to the office to help get the people out before it is too late to save them. I arrive and watch as they die before my eyes slowing chocking to death on the carbon dioxide being pumped into the room. I try to open the door to no avail and find them dead seconds later.
Mad and frightened at this I dash down the corridors trying to find any survivors or help while talking on my hand heled radio as I try to get ahold of my partner. Having gotten no reply from him and finding no survivors I keep trying my best to find someone to no avail. Cussing to myself I finally have an idea as I remember someone saying something about the A.I. being able to control the electronics around here. Upon realizing this I know I have no way out because not only is this place locked down but if I tried anything stupid then the A.I. was gonna kill me. The only left to do was to wait and prepare myself for whatever shit storm was going to come my way and be prepared for it. The one place available for that was a small lounge to the side of the elevators where I could open the vending machines and wait for back up to arrive and get me out of here.
