RE4 : Payback Time

«Chapter 3 : Capsules and experimentations»

by Marie B.



Wesker walked down a corridor and arrived to a big window. He looked by it and saw some scientists taking some blood samples from Steve's body. A little smile appeared on his face. "Time to work." The man entered the lab and went beside a table, where Steve was laying on, still sleeping. "I hope you'll be feeling good today. You're gonna go through a lot of tests and you'll have to be in good health." A scientist approached Wesker. "What are the results?" asked Wesker. "The coordinates are good: there's the T- Veronica virus in his blood." "Good." The scientist continued to read his report. "We examined his body and we noticed some wounds. One on his belly and the other, on his left shoulder." Wesker looked at him, frowning. "And?" "Well…it's really strange…because they are all cicatrized…something happened with his body…if like, he changed his body." "That's the symptom of the T-Veronica Virus. I saw it by myself. People infected by that virus, are transforming in something else. I didn't see Steve like this, but I saw Alexia Ashford, the creator of the virus, changing herself into a human- monster."

The scientist looked at Wesker, a bit confused. "I see…" "Anything else?" asked Wesker. "Hum…no, that's all for now. The boy will be ready in one hour." Wesker stepped back. "Alright. I'll be there in one hour." Then, he turned and headed for the exit. Wesker looked at his watch. "Hmm…I should contact Agent W…"

Wesker arrived to his office and went in. He sat down on his big black leather chair. He sighed and took off his sunglasses. Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. Wesker quickly put back his glasses. "Enter." A woman with black short hair, entered the room. "You asked me, sir?" "Oh…it's you, Agent W. Take a chair, please."

The woman sat down in front of Wesker' desk. "Are you going to send me into a new mission?" Albert looked at her and smiled. "Yes…but this time, you're not going all alone." Agent W widened her eyes. "Are you talking about that boy?" Wesker nodded. "Steve, that's his name, will be ready in a few days. Me and him with some other agents will join you." "According of what you're saying, this mission is not only to retrieve a virus sample, isn't it?" Wesker got up and looked by the big window behind him. "We'll attack the Umbrella's HQ in Paris." The woman jumped of her chair. "What?!?!" Wesker chuckled a bit. "Don't worry. You, me and Steve, we can take control of all the HQ." The black haired woman looked down. "Yea…but…" Wesker frowned. "Do you have any objections, Agent W?" "No, sir!" "End of discussion. Dismiss." The woman turned back and left the room.

Thinking about her previous discussion, the Asian woman groaned in frustration. "Agent W…Agent W…he doesn't think that we're now more familiar? Why he's not calling me by my real name: Ada Wong?!" The woman stopped. "No…Ada is dead in Raccoon City…and a spy doesn't need a name…" She continued walking down the main corridor of the facility. She then stopped again in front of the biggest laboratory. She could see inside the boy…Steve laying on a table. She looked at him and sighed. "The mission first…All the rest is after…even your own life…" Ada sighed some more and headed back to her quarters.

Wesker looked at his watch. "It's almost time." He then left his office and headed for the laboratory. Dr. Sid, the most intelligent and genius scientist in the facility, was checking Steve's body. He then saw Wesker entering the lab. "Oh…Mister Wesker. I was waiting for you." "How's the boy?" "He is in perfect health! And, he is ready for today's tests." "Good. Can you wake him up?" "Sure." The doctor took a syringe and injected something in Steve's neck. One of his hands started to move. He then opened slowly his eyes. "Welcome back." said Wesker. "Ahh…my head is a bit hurting…" groaned Steve, putting a hand on his forehead. "That's normal. But, you'll be okay in a few minutes." said Dr. Sid. "You must be bored of being laying down on this table." Wesker ordered to take off the stripes on Steve's body. Steve lifted up and sighed of relief. Wesker smiled at him. "Now, it's time to start the experimentations. So, you'll have to come with us in the capsules room. "The capsules room?" said Steve in concern. The doctor interfered Steve's question. "Now, you have to get up and try to walk." Steve executed what the doctor said, but when he put his foot on the floor, he almost lost stability. "Waah…I can't stand up!" "Well…I never saw a dead walking…hmm…maybe not…" Wesker started to laugh. Dr. Sid helped Steve to get the use of walking again. A few minutes later, Steve was able to walk perfectly. "Good. Now, follow us." Said Wesker.

The three arrived at a big metal blood. Wesker entered a code and the door unlocked automatically. While entering in it, Steve looked at the room, surprised. There was more than 50 capsules filled with green liquid and containing some living things in them. They all stopped in front of an empty one, where were some scientists preparing it. Wesker came to talk to one of them. Then, he looked back to Steve, smiling. "Everything is okay. We may now start the procedure. Open the capsule!" The scientists did as what Wesker said. And some other scientists came near to Steve. They asked him to take off the lab clothes that he had in the laboratory. Then, they put some patches all over his body. Steve didn't try to escape. He saw some guards all around the room, aiming at him with their assault riffles. «No chance to get out of here…and anyway…I don't want to have trouble with that insane company!» thought Steve as he saw that the scientists were finished with him. "Enter the capsule!" ordered Wesker. Steve sighed and walked towards the capsule. «What the hell are they going to do to me?!» Then, the scientists put some oxygen tubes on the patches and left the capsule. The capsule closed and that strange green liquid started to fill it. Steve was bit scared but he knew that he could breathe with the oxygen mask. He then closed his eyes and started to be strangely tired. After a short moment, he wasn't even able to think. Wesker looked at him. "The second step just started…"

Dr. Sid came closer to Wesker. "For the moment, everything is normal." Wesker nodded. "For how long he will be in the capsule, doctor?" "Hmm…around 3 days…the time for him to get the entire control of the T- Veronica Virus." Wesker turned. "Alright. I'll be here a few times in those days, to see how the procedure is going. Well, continue your good work, doctor." Wesker left the room. "Wait some other days Chris…I'll have my revenge, I swear!! Muwahahahahaha!!!!"
