-Chapter 19-





Kat explored the halls of the building, pointing her handgun towards the ground, searching for the main labs in which contained a small part of her objective. Even though she was informed very little of the nature of this operation that she was sent on in the place of the female assassin Ada Wong, she was still quite cautious

The mission had called for the youngest young woman in their training ranks to come to Alucemet and obtain a sample from the research specimen with the new Virus developed in the Tnediug Laboratory, along with lab reports on the specimen's conditions, and a sample of the Virus alone. She was picked because no one would expect her, a naturally quiet girl that would be in the respects of the specimen's personal taste.

When she had met Mike for the first time, she could not sense that such a handsome and honest young man could harbor such a terrifying monstrosity within his genes. He had been absolutely congenial to her when he met her, not showing any abnormalities in his mannerisms and way of speaking. He was so mature for his age; she could tell that he was even feeling a great liking towards her with each passing day.

One day before he had been struck down, she had received word from headquarters that Umbrella was going to dispose of him the day after. She shouldn't have been so broken internally when he died if she hadn't grown fond of him before that.

But now, Umbrella's work was effecting Alucemet in a nightmarish way that she had hoped wouldn't happen while she was still around the city. She cursed silently. She looked forward, seeing a metal door in front of her labeled 'Records'. The door opened at her presence and she entered.

Inside, she found a lone massive computer that filled up the whole room. The door closed, she locked it when she overrides the security system mechanism next to the door. She turned around and faced the grand piece of machinery; slightly smiling, she turned on the computer.

The screen glowed white, a red upside down triangle appeared in the center and spun in a counter clockwise fashion; creating the all too familiar Umbrella logo. "Come on...." she said to the computer impatiently, ".... hurry up!"

The main menu appeared and icons filled the screen. She brushed back her bangs and stared at the screen; the Login Window appeared. She looked around, and saw a scrap of paper next to the keyboard and read it. "Hmmm....." she hummed quietly and started to type in the Login Name.

The screen switched to a complete records window:

›Specimen's Log

Kat selects Chimera Specimen Lab Report, making a new window pop up.

¤ ENWC- Virus Overview ¤

The ENWC-Virus, short for Eric Nebel Wildcard Virus, was created approximately three years before the incidents at Spencer Mansion, Raccoon City, Rockfort Island, Antarctica, and Sheena Island. It was developed by Doctor Eric Nebel at the Umbrella Alucemet Branch in the United States. It was involved in a risk taking experiment: injecting a potentially non-reactant substance into a human guinea pig. Of course, nobody in their right mind would willingly be subjected to such a harmful chemical, but Umbrella has many ways of encouraging people to act in the lesser thought.

In a way, the ENWC-Virus Experiment is to be treated like Alexia Ashford's T-Veronica Virus. Therefore, it was injected into the human specimen; the subject was frozen soon after to keep the Virus in a state of cryogenic preservation to fully infuse itself with the subject's DNA. It is estimated that the effects may lie dormant when the specimen is released from the suspended animation. It is unknown whether or not the effects will show automatically as soon as the specimen is released to live his life as normally as he can.

Since the specimen is to be locked away in suspended animation in Nebel's lab; extra cautions and preliminary preparations are to be taken into deep consideration. The age of the specimen is seventeen years, the project is to run for potentially seven years; releasing the specimen at the age of twenty four is expected. Because of the freezing process, the specimen will still appear to be the same age he was when he was frozen.

¤ Effects of the ENWC-Virus ¤

The ENWC-Virus is a superior alternative to William Birkin's G-Virus and a successor to Alexia Ashford's T-Veronica Virus. The effects are as follows:

Complete restructuring of the specimen's genetic code, allowing various mutations that would normally take thousands of years for a normal human generation to achieve.

Most of these mutations are not normal, however. As Birkin's G-Virus had shown, the mutations are extremely unstable; causing Birkin himself, by injecting himself with the G-Virus right after the Umbrella special forces team led by Hunk had shot him and retrieved the samples of the Virus, to mutate at an unprecedented rate.

Eric Nebel had also done so with his ENWC-Virus, but was immediately destroyed at the hands of Alucemet Police Department's S.T.A.R.S. branch; however, his legacy had lived on in the form of the specimen which was in the containment capsule in the laboratories deep within the heart of the city's underground research facility.

Increased physical strength.

Other undocumented enhancements.


¤ The Specimen ¤

This is the record of the human that was chosen to be the carrier of the ENWC-Virus. His parents were forced into releasing him into our hands by Umbrella "negotiators". The parents are still alive but they are now forced to work in the deepest parts of the lab, only being able to see their son whenever he is checked on each year.

"What?" she gasped in disbelief, "24 years old? He didn't look a day over seventeen...."
