"Oh my god," I said, "I can't believe it. You killed her." I looked at Kevin, with his pistol still raised, silent tears streaming down his face. I sank down beside Anya's truly dead corpse. Then I lost it. "You stupid fuck! I'm gonna kill you! I'll" Kevin smacked me with his rifle and I blacked out.
When I reawakened, we were in the surveillance room again. I wanted to fire my gun at Kevin, but I didn't have it. "Where's my Beretta?" I asked in a weak voice. "I took it away from you after I knocked you out. You would try to kill me if I left it on you." Kevin replied as if stating the obvious. "What happened? I mean after you knocked me out." "Rival got up again, so I had to get you out of there." "Why?" I asked. He looked stunned. "Why didn't you leave me there?" I asked again. "I, uh, well, um, I couldn't, just," he stammered out, blushing. I realized this was awkward for him so I changed the subject. "Where's Wesker?" I inquired. "He's over there, trying to figure out where Amber is." Kevin said, at ease again. "Why is he doing that?" I wondered. I walked over to the console, where Wesker was seated. "Why are you looking for Amber?" I asked. "I've been scanning for life signs and I found them outside, in the labs, the main hall and here, in the surveillance room. I have deduced that the life form in the main hall is the Rival, we, obviously, are in the surveillance room but I can't figure out what is in the labs. The only possible answer would be that Amber is still alive." Thinking about what was in that lab, how was I to know that they didn't have a cure for whatever disease the parasites spread?
"May I ask you something Sergeant Hartford?" I was startled to be addressed like that. "Most of the squad just calls me or rather called me, Carissa or Doc. And yes you may ask me a question." I replied, saddened to use past tense terms when referring to the squad.
"What exactly do the Emperor parasites do?" Wesker asked me.
" The Emperor Parasite was engineered to carry any possible virus or infection put in it. It is a carrier of sorts put on Earth to spread the T-virus as everywhere as possible. If it were to contain some other virus, it would still simply spread it. However there are two species of it. The first I have told you about. The second is a predator of sorts. It eats meat and flesh, and if in a significant number can consume a creature the size of a blue whale in a matter of seconds, which should give you an idea of how fast it could consume a human." I said. "I don't know if they were carrying the virus or...." After I trailed off Kevin looked at me with the utmost sincerity. "We have to go out there and find her." The gunshots outside the door signaled that we didn't have to.
