Chapter XI
Insanity's True Love
The locks on Ada's wrists suddenly released, followed by the shrill sound of Gregory's twisted laugh. She could hear the sound of footsteps against the ground, and then a door opening and closing. He had let her free, then fled himself. Something was seriously the matter.one minute ago he had burst out of the room after reminding himself about some mysterious other.and now he chuckled evilly and left her in a cold, concrete cell to wither and die. And he's supposed to like me. Ada laughed at her own thought, that some sick freak was supposedly developing a kinky fetish for her. He was trying to duplicate the events that took place in Raccoon.how had he known about the things that had gone on there? Obviously he knew that something happened, he had mentioned that to her before. But now dressing her up to be identical to the events in Raccoon, even giving her the same weapon? He had dropped the 9mm handgun on the dusty floor just before he fled. He had left the thick metal door open, as if to invite her to leave. When captors take their prisoners, what are the chances that they just let them walk free? Luck you, Ada, you got one hell of a genius to take you hostage. A real class act. She hustled forward, picking up the pistol off the ground. She found herself in a long concrete hall way, a cell block on one end and a door marked 'BIOTECH' on the other. Noticing a desk seated between the depression on the east wall, Ada moved forward and began to search. That was when she fell upon Gregory's own personal diary.
May 22nd 2002
My thoughts about the beautiful girl that escaped the Capitol and Raccoon City disasters have ceased to dissipate. My emotions have run wild with lust and passion for this woman, and she has yet to leave my dreams and thoughts day in and day out. She is even affecting my work procedures, I cannot seem to concentrate. I hope that someday my feelings will be put to rest.
May 27th 2002
The BIOTECH experiments have proved to be a success. Work on the Chimeras has proved successful, as well as with the canines and ivies. The ivies are especially a good find, their rapid pro and reproduction of sex cells and viral cells surpass those of any other carrier. The ivies also are able to withstand greater amounts of weaponry, their only weakness falling to the obvious nemesis of organic objects, fire.
June 1st 2002
One of the hounds escaped today and mauled a female scientist. She was in the dormitory level when the hound burst through her door. Her roommate found her mutilated body when she returned from the lab, her head severed and discovered hours later in the basement labs. The canine had obviously taken the Central Power Core stairs from the basement, up to the tenth dormitory level and then back into the basement labs. The dog was finally found, feasting upon another scientist. This researcher survived, however, only to become a full carrier within the hour. He was put into observation for research purposes.
July 22nd, 2002
Work on the T Alexia Virus is progressing, and I have finally found good use of this research myself. Dr Kennedy and Dr Johnson's work is progressing too slowly. I have taken the virus into my own hands, allowing them to work with a copy. The copy should serve as a good replacement, although it does have slightly different properties than the original. Alexia's cold 15 years of storage gave unimaginable power to the virus that was extracted from S. Burnsides body after the Antarctic explosion. I will perfect this virus, and inject myself with it to prove my everlasting love and devotion to my beauty I so humbly await for.
August 15th 2002
Johnson and Kennedy are becoming suspicious that their work has been fooled with. I believe they suspect I have taken some role in this. I must keep them at bay.
September 23rd 2002
Havoc has broken loose in my laboratories, and the worst situation possible has taken effect. The copy of the T Alexia Virus was released, and through the Central Power Core everything and everyone in this facility and the building above have been infected. I sealed off any and all exits of this facility, and everything is closed off by metal shudders. The public must be kept at bay, at all costs. The Central Power Core has been turned into a massive breeding ground for the Chimeras, hatching by themselves in the egg like structures they have created for themselves. I never expected them to do this.the ivy creatures have relocated from their holding tanks and into the lowest basement level. After the BOW gas was released, their poisonous touch was taken aback. The canine monsters were literally completely wiped out, with the exception of a few of the stronger ones. The Empire State Building is now crawling with zombies, and the only thing I can hope for is that my darling will escape out of here alive. There are a total of six living civilians in this facility as of now.Heatherly Taft; Hillary Wilkes; Ja (last name is unknown); myself; my true love, Ada Wong; and that bitch sister of mine Vela Spencer. I cannot believe she has resurfaced, let alone survived this long. She must be dealt with at all costs.I will put her out of her misery the second I am given the opportunity. If she so much as touches my beautiful Ada, I will make sure she will be punished. Vela will not ruin my plans.
September 23rd 2002
Vela has shown no signs of returning, as she has disappeared off of all camera view. Ada is now being held in my possession. The whereabouts of Heatherly Taft are unknown, but I presume her dead. Ja and Hillary have parted ways after a long romantic kiss.I can only pray Ada will perform such on me.and the Neptune Project is slowly taking effect. There is about one and a half hours before all documentation is sent to the Maine facility. Then, the failsafe will be activated and I will make it out of here with Ms Wong at my side.
Ada shivered, placing the diary back onto the desk. Gregory was severely messed up.he had been wanting her ever since he had seen the documentation on her. The ink from the last notation was still fresh, signaling that it had been written probably just before she had awoken. That meant, since the Neptune Project had about four hours remaining when she was knocked out, that she had been asleep for about two and a half hours. The Neptune Project was going to be complete within and hour and a half, and then the fail safe would be activated. Gregory would most likely make sure she survived.but what about the others? This diary said that there were three other survivors running around this place. She quickly examined the rest of the desk, finding a lock pick and a two more fully loaded clips, bringing her up to about ninety all together, plus the fifteen already loaded into her weapon bringing the total to one hundred and five. She had probably enough weaponry to last a few zombies, but that was about it. After shuffling through a few more documents, Ada found a map with three red X's marked on it. The first red X indicated her location.the hundredth floor. The second red X indicated the location of the observation tower, the peak of the building. The third red X was placed directly in the center of the room beside her.Ada looked carefully at it, studying it. The BIOTECH door was electronically locked, but Gregory had scribbled the pass code on a sheet of paper near on the desk. 1974 . 1974! It was her birth year, in fact, ".my God." she muttered under her breath, summarizing the situation with her supposed stalker, ".what the hell is the matter with him." Her red dress stretched around her hips as she walked closer to the door, examining the large, red printed letters. Ada could see the Umbrella insignia printed on the key panel. She quickly tapped in the numbers and the door whooshed open, revealing a long corridor fitted with rooms labeled with numbers, starting with 001 and leading up to 008. Starting with 001, Ada began her search.
*
Hillary quickly turned on the computer in the tenant's office after locking the door shut and checking the room for uninvited guests that might have sprung out to surprise her. The only thing in the room that really made her skin crawl was the puddle of blood in the corner, formed from the dripping vent above. Claw prints extended from the puddle, walking towards the door and then disappearing. What had made those prints? And whose or what's blood is that? The Umbrella logo flickered across the screen, and in an instant she was greeted with a password screen. The login name was easy, that was already printed in on the screen.'Kennedy'.but the password was a different story. She quickly began to shuffle through documents that littered the cluttered desk, hoping to find something of use. Then, on the bottom left hand corner of a research note, she saw the combination 1145. Tapping the keypad with the corresponding digits, she quickly hit enter and the screen disappeared, replaced by the words 'access granted'.
*
Ja felt uneasy about leaving Hillary behind. He had made it up to about the seventieth floor when he realized how shitty of a decision it had been. He quickly turned around and began filing back towards the room, when suddenly he heard a faint clicking noise in the distance, from up above. Turning his head towards the ceiling, he saw the creature starring blankly at him with gouged out eye sockets. It was completely red besides the blood stained exoskeleton that caged in its bleeding muscle and tissue. Peering at him with bleeding sockets for eyes, the creature exposed its lengthy, wretched tongue for him to marvel at. Ja took a step back, falling onto his ass in pure awe of the thing. It had absolutely massive claws, extending probably a foot and a half. Each of its four claws was equipped with four, blade like fingers capable of tearing its victim to shreds. It screamed out in pleasure as Ja realized how dangerous it was. Suddenly, the thing dropped and flipped in the air, landing on its stomach to face him. It opened its mouth, showing its tongue and sharp teeth again. Then, it attacked.
*
Ada quickly pushed forth, examining her new surroundings. The door had been locked, but with a quick kick it gave way. This room was cold, dark and clammy. It was empty, besides a small glistening key centered in the middle of the room. A light fixture shun directly on it, allowing it to be the only thing of visible interest in the room. Ada walked forward, picked the key up and was shocked to see the door shut and lock behind her. Rushing towards the door, she found it was securely locked. She was trapped again, and this time it was her own damn fault. Picking up the key must've set off the locking system. Getting angrier by the second, she tossed the key back and watched in awe as the door slid open. "Take the key, door shuts. Leave the key, door opens." Ada said. She walked forward, picking up the key only to see the door open again. This time though, a second light illuminated another key. She dropped the one she had, the door opened and she softly went to pick the other up. The first key had the number 008 inscribed on it. This key had 000 printed at the top. The puzzle had been figured out. Take 000 key and replace key 008. Take 008 to room 008 and unlock it. Replace the key you find in that room with 008, to open the door with the next key. Once all eight rooms had been entered, the final key would be found to unlock the door at the end of the hall, marked 009. As complicated as it may sound, Ada caught on very quickly and began going through room after room before finally finding the final key. The main BIOTECH door had been opened, and she would slowly but surely unravel the secrets Umbrella had discretely hidden for so many years.
