Chapter One Documents – S.O.S.
Cape Inacio
Type: Data
Location: Mysterious email
Description: Attachment about a mysterious supposedly-non-existent island.
*/*/*/*
A private island located somewhere in South Atlantic Ocean, owned by HELIX Foundation. It is HELIX's main benefit for years that has raised the company to its current powerful status. The island is a rich source of natural herbs and minerals but it also consists of dangerous terrains and hazardous flora and fauna.
The island has not been easily found by anyone else because it is within a danger zone for ships and aircraft. The world doesn't know of its existence to this day, making it an ideal secret place for research with no restrictions from outside. The only reason why it was ever discovered was out of sheer luck by Iason Stavros, during a boat accident in 1931. Forty years later, his grandson, Silas I. Stavros, found the island again and made significant changes to the company from the fascinating studies of the island's isolation from humans and internal evolution.
On the island, there is an underwater research facility and two towns: a port town and industrial area. The only means of getting to and from the island is by boat, mainly the Titancrest Line, HELIX's shipping, and the Kharon ferry or by aircraft depending on the conditions. Secretly, a virus is being heavily studied and tested on both animal and human specimens on the island.
Once new staff moves to the island, they are immediately threatened to work on the virus by using their families as leverage. Many lives have been lost since the launch of the Kronos virus project. It is also difficult to contact the world as HELIX's security has complete control on every means of access within the island (mail, internet, etc).
Additional Note: Cuban locals and scientists from El Delmor have believed that the area Cape Inacio is in is a geographical triangle, giving the name, the Yacumama's Sea.
HELIX Foundation
Type: Data
Location: Internet
Description: Information about one of the most powerful conglomerates in the world.
*/*/*/*
HELIX Foundation is a conglomerate organization comprised of pharmaceuticals division and research, prosthetic research, natural resources development and artificial intelligence.
HELIX's origins are vague due to old records having been destroyed but originally, the company, under a different name, Ambrosia CO, was founded in 1912 by the Stavros family in Athens, Greece. Initially focused on industrial chemicals, the family business thrived steadily until the Great Depression. Ambrosia CO was almost near broke for a year until the disappearance and reappearance of Iason Stavros, the president back then. Iason Stavros had fled overseas to escape bankrupt only to find himself in a boat accident and went missing for seven months.
Before presumed dead, Iason was later discovered on a makeshift raft landing on the coast of Mexico. He suffered from delirium and dehydration for several more weeks, claiming that he had being surviving on an unknown and hostile island. Upon his return, however, he had brought an unidentified plant with strong properties against insect sting allergy but would not let anyone examine it except his own company.
After his recovery, he successfully cultivated the plant, naming it after his company as the Ambrosia Root. The company developed an antagonistic drug, which is still being used today. This tremendous breakthrough saved his company and surprisingly, their profits soar, allowing the family business to venture into more windows of opportunity. The company began on genomics and buying in smaller companies, giving rise to the name, HELIX Foundation.
Where exactly Iason discovered the rare plant remains a mystery outside of the Stavros family. It was presumed that he either kept the secret of the location to his grave or told his family after being shunned by everyone for his delirious discovery of the mysterious island. Silas I. Stavros, grandson of Iason, claimed that he and his father, Michail, never found the alleged island but over the last three decades, the company has flourished under his controls.
There have been rumours about TRICELL hoping to merge with HELIX this year. HELIX Vice President Vasquez says they cannot confirm or deny that claim.

Phone Messages from Chris Redfield
Type: Data
Location: Claire's mobile phone
Description: Phone messages sent from a concerned brother
*/*/*/*
28 May 2006, 9:23 P.M.
Hey, Claire. I know you don't like it when your big brother pesters you because something bad happened to you but I've heard about the suspension from Barry. I didn't pry into the details and I won't pry from you. I want to know if you're ok.
Actually, you'd be pissed.
Nevermind. Just...give me a call, K?
28 May 2006, 11:03 P.M.
Chris again. Sorry for sending this message at this hour. You don't need to answer this but I was thinking. We haven't talked about what happened back in Iraq. Now, I'm not saying the suspension has anything to do with that but we've never really talked about it. Like sit down and talk.
You know me. I'm not good with words. This message is bad enough. But I'm your big brother. I should be there doing big brother stuff when you're down instead of being here in this war. I should have been there when the shooting happened. There are a lot of things I should have done...
Yeah, you'll say we're grownups but you know what I mean. Again, not good with words.
Whenever you're ready, talk to me. I'm always here for you.
29 May 2006, 8:30 A.M.
Claire. TerraSave was asking me where you are after they got an email from you. Something about HELIX and a virus. What's going on? Why haven't you called me? Don't do anything reckless until me and Jill get back to USA, do you hear me? Call me immediately when you get this message.

Another Casualty of War – TerraSave Grieves Over Loss
Type: Data
Location: Claire's mobile phone
Description: Online excerpt from a morning newspaper article published on 9 May 2006
*/*/*/*
Channah Yasmin, TerraSave consular for the Middle East regions, was unfortunately caught in a Rasul shooting and died instantly from her wounds. Her death was announced late on Friday at 3:20 p.m. Yasmin was in Baghdad for three months, to settle difficulties in order for TerraSave's support with the Iraqi struggle to continue. She was also a volunteer worker and translator, helping families in war-zone areas to her best capabilities as both a member and consular. Being a USA citizen, her body is being shipped back to America for a funeral.
Some fear that her death may further more tension within the war.
Neurotoxic Agent
Type: Data
Location: Rebecca's mobile phone
Description: Message from the head of R&D, regarding about getting results from using new neurotoxic agent on infected.
*/*/*/*
Chambers, I get the whole point about using this new agent to slow down infected by what, dissolving their nerve tissues to make them impaired in their mobility, right? But it'll be very dangerous to try and test this in hostile situations. What if it doesn't work and we endanger BSAA lives in those circumstances? And with this war, we just can't do any tests yet. If it had been on those glob things back on that beach last year, then yes. But now, it's far too risky.
I'm sorry about this but we'll have to postpone the study for the time being. For now, help out with the other lab groups until I get back. A lot are putting their weight on stopping this new virus. They could really use your help, Chambers.

Rebecca
Hey, Jill. How's everything over there?
Jill
Hey, Rebecca. Well, we've had better days, I suppose.
Rebecca
Still that bad, huh?
Jill
It's different... I was expecting monsters to pop up but having to deal with this war... BSAA can't continue the investigation without the military taking care of the fights and we can't join in to help them without angering more people. There are too many lives being lost by bullets and I don't know which is worse: that or by this new virus.
Rebecca
The virus hasn't spread, has it?
Jill
No, luckily, it's isolated within the north. We're throwing every precaution to keep it from spreading to the population. I've even heard the reason for this slow spread is because the bioterrorists are doing some religious indoctrination, similar to that Spain incident. But that still doesn't make it any easier with the war happening.
Anyway, enough about this. Still spending all your time in R&D?
Rebecca
If I said yes, will you be upset again?
Jill
Really, Rebecca. This email was sent after 2 am. You were still working that late? You should at least relax. I've never seen you outside of the labs. It's been like what? A year?
Rebecca
Well, we've never really gotten a break for some time now.
Jill
I've not. You can but you have never taken any leave.
Rebecca
I can't help it if I like my work. :)
Jill
I understand but once in a while, you've got to leave the lab and get some fresh air. We should go out for a girls' night only when I get back to USA.
Rebecca
I don't know...
Jill
I know a great spa that's right next door to a gun club.
Rebecca
Haha! Ok, ok. You got me at spa. Maybe, you're right. I've been overworking myself for a while now.
Jill
Then it's settled. After this war, a trip to the spa. My treat. Hold you on that.
Rebecca
Ok, ok. Noted.
Jill
Good. I'll be away from comms again. I'll email you next week!

Hey, Rebecca. Have you heard from Claire? We got word that she's not at home. You think you can head to Weston to check on her? Find out where she'd gone. Chris and I are trying to see if we can fly back home in the next flight.
Thanks.
Vickie: Chapter 1 Documents DONE. :D This was a while, trying to make conversations between friends via internet and writing more info about Cape Inacio and HELIX.
And we learn some things about Claire. What happened in this year that caused her to be affected as she was in CODE Kronos? More mysteries from both side.
Well, technically, I don't plan to just give out secrets like that. So the info you get here and from the main fic, it'll progress slowly until I reveal the grand show of the whole incident. Of course, then again, whenever we play RE, we always read the documents which either warns us about something later in the game or gives us backstory. :P
Reedit: I rewrote some names and took out some things so real-life terms from Middle East have been removed. Thanks to a friend who made me even more paranoid.
Regardless, hope you guys enjoy this chapter of docs and also, I'll be writing the next chapter of CODE Kronos next before I do the next chapter of docs. So look out for both, I guess? Maybe not at the same time anyway but yeah. :) Happy reading!
