Chris had been on this ship for what seemed like an eternity. In fact, it'd
only been about four hours since they had arrived on the ship. He met up
with Carlos a while ago. Carlos wouldn't stop rambling on about a dead
employee and some agent he'd found on the ship. Chris tried to act as if he
didn't care, faking his own boredom at Carlos' words, but Chris was more
concerned than he let on.
"..And she's working to help us take out Umbrella for the time being." Carlos rambled on.
"Where did you find that body?" Chris asked.
"In the galley. There was a gunshot wound in the back."
"Did you ask this girl how it got there?" Chris spoke back, he already knew the answer.
"Err... no. But I don't think she would have shot anybody. Her mission is to collect proof of Umbrella's activities for her Government so they can put a stop to Umbrella's activities." Carlos answered. He seemed a little excited by the entire thing.
That still doesn't explain what she's doing here though...
Chris couldn't get it out of his head. He knew that those couldn't be the real reasons behind this "Jessica Kennedy's" reason for being here. There had to be something else...
"I don't know, but I think it would be in our best interests to stay away from her." Chris spoke in a friendly tone, trying to get Carlos on his side.
"But she could be a big he--" Carlos was cut off.
"Maybe. But we still can't be sure. She could be one of the opperatives on this ship. From now on you are not to tell her anything about our mission or copperate in any way, understand?" Chris interupted with a stern tone in his voice. This time he was ordering Carlos around.
"... yes sir" Carlos spoke back, defeated. He knew Chris was only doing what he thought was right. After all, Jessica COULD be one of Umbrella's agents. But Carlos remembered that look in her eyes. Something calming about them, something that made the sick feeling in the room go away when he met her. She didn't look the type to be any sort of agent. Government, Umbrella or otherwise.
Chris pulled the large sliding steel door open, while Carlos stood in the frame with his gun raised at any possible threats that could be awaiting them inside, but the room was empty. Both men entered the cold metal room. This was bigger than most others. A huge Submarine lay inside.
"What the hell?" Carlos spoke to Chris who was still outside the room, trying to get the door opened fully.
"What is it?" Chris replied.
"What's a Submarine doing here?" Carlos could hardly keep the curiosity out of his voice.
"... Carlos... there's something I need to tell you..." Chris voice trailed off. Carlos turned towards Chris. Not exactly sure whether or not this would be bad news or good news.
"Go on."
"There is no new Bio-Weapon being transported on this ship. That was to cover up our true reason for coming here." Chris began to explain. "In fact, this isn't even an Umbrella ship. It belongs to a multi-national corporation known as the BioTech Engineering Foundation."
Carlos couldn't belive what he was hearing. His own group had been deceiving him? "What the hell is this? Some kinda joke, amigo?"
"No, we lied to you. But I'm gonna be straight with you from now on. You heard about what happened at Umbrella's Antarcic base right?"
"Yeah..." Carlos was being cautious.
"Me and Claire escaped from that base and managed to blow it to kingdom come. But we were helped by a guy named Burnside, Steve Burnside. We thought he was dead, but it turns out that he's been alive all this time."
"How do you know?"
"We intercepted information over a month ago from somebody inside the BioTech organization, claiming that Steve was apparantly ready for something called "Sleeper". We follwed the source of the transmission and came up with two places. The first was coded the "Deep Tank" and the second was coded "Green Earth"."
"What does that mean?" Carlos sounded suprised.
"It means that Steve might be at one of these facilites. I offered to investigate the Deep Tank, while Leon and Jill attempted to uncover information about the other place." Chris sounded very profesional.
"Right, and how many people know about this little side mission?" Carlos asked, sounding a little angry that Chris had kept this from him.
"Leon was the one who intercepted the transmission. Appart from him, Jill and myself, nobody else knew." Chris sounded ashamed that he had lied.
"And you think this Burnside guy is on the Tank?"
"We don't know for sure if Steve's there but this is our only lead and we've gotta follow it up." Chris seemed apologetic.
"I want to know everything from now on Redfield. Everything."
"Whatever. We're taking this sub to the Deep Tank as soon as the ship reaches it's coordinates, whic'll be in about thirty minutes, so we better hurry." Chris walked away without giving Carlos a chance to reply. Carlos was left seething in anger at Chris. He was supposed to trust him with his life and yet, there had been a web of deciet from the start. Carlos knew he could just leave Chris to deal with this on his own, but he'd promised Jill he'd bring Chris back alive. Whether he wanted to or not.
"..And she's working to help us take out Umbrella for the time being." Carlos rambled on.
"Where did you find that body?" Chris asked.
"In the galley. There was a gunshot wound in the back."
