The Lost Umbrella Files
Wesker slipped his new ID card through the scanner, and stepped into the elevator, accompanied by 'Bob'.
Why's he always following, thought Wesker, irritated. The Lab Manager was quiet, almost never spoke unless spoken to, on was asked to say something. He almost answered to no one except on the highest of authority, like Wesker, Birkin, and Spencer.
The doors of the elevator opened, and the Spencer Hallway was revealed. Wesker stepped into the hallway, and went to the door fitted with the Spencer Crest. He knocked once, and the door was opened immediately. Spencer was there, and had a bright smile on his face.
"Come in, Albert." Wesker stepped in, and Spencer shut the door on the lab manager, who waited patiently outside the door.
"So, how is the work going?" Wesker sighed. Spencer had no patience at all.
"Well...we've began to see if the Ebola Sample is compatible with the RNA Make up. Birkin's doing at as we speak right now." Spencer smiled, and crossed his legs.
"Anything else?"
"Well, if researched some of the Virus by night. Since using bio-weapons-"
"B.O.W." said Spencer. Wesker was confused.
"B.O.W.?" he repeated.
"Bio-Organic-Weapon. Just call it a B.O.W."
"Uh...ok. Anyway, using bio-weapons is against the law, and if found out, the person who is using it can be sentenced to death." Spencer nodded and adjusted his eyeglasses and moved one of his books on the desk, The Way Science and Biology Work Together, by R.N. Stevens.
"But Albert, what we're trying to do is make(italics) it a weapon. Umbrella would earn millions! Think about it! Soldiers who couldn't die! We just need to complete it first before we announce it to the public."
"I understand Sir, but we need more time. I don't mean to be rude, but we're not going to do this in just a week. Maybe a month or so. If you keep calling William and I up to your office everyday, you're just taking us away from the time we need to make the virus compatible with DNA."
Spencer looked like he was about to explode, but the silently controlled himself.
"Ok...back to work then..." he said forcefully. Wesker nodded, and then went back into the hallway, and shut the door behind him. The Lab Manager then went inside Spencer's Office, so Wesker was alone. Wesker shuddered, because it was a bit cold, and then went into the elevator, and down into the labs.
----------------------------------------
Wesker entered the labs, and then Birkin came rushing up to him, excited.
"Albert, it turns out that the virus can be eliminated by sunlight! I think that Spencer was a bit unaware how fast Ebola can kill its host though. Also, to make it spread, the host with the virus had to physically touch someone to spread the infection."
"I see."
"What I'm trying to get to, is what if this person could walk around, while infected with Ebola? What if he had...some kind of disrupted chain of thought, so the host didn't realize what it was doing?"
"William, there's a problem. We can't make a B.O.W."
"B.O.W.?" repeated William.
"Bio-Organic-Weapon."
"I see. Anyway, if this person could infect others with the virus, being a weapon, it could infect a whole bunch of people, and then we could make an army!" Wesker patted William on the shoulder.
"You're jumping to conclusions. Didn't you hear what I said? Making bio- weapons is illegal! Punishment is death penalty!" Birkin gulped.
"What did Spencer say?" Wesker sighed.
"He was wondering how far we had gotten. I told him to lay off, and bugging us about it wouldn't make the research go faster. He managed to contain himself this time."
"Oh."
"Well, what have you discovered?"
"Ebola and the RNA can have a direct impact on human DNA. It mutates the cells. With these factors, the B.O.W. may be harder to kill. Also, I heard that Spencer made Umbrella to research viruses with these qualities. In order to hide the truth from the world, they tell them that they're researching these viruses to try and find a cure. The public buys it."
"How do you feel?" asked Wesker.
"I don't know. This may be my breakthrough though, so I'll see how it goes."
"Anything else?"
"Yeah. We need to find a virus that restructures the human DNA. Ebola does the opposite, so when we make the virus we'll need to find another one to restructure the DNA in its current state."
"Where can we find a virus like that?"
"I'm researching it now, and I haven't found anything. Also, what they want to call the virus, is called the T-Virus. T for tyrant."
"Alright William."
Birkin nodded, and then went over to his desk and began to analyze the samples. Wesker walked to the computer and began to pull up some research files on the RNA Spencer had gave them. A few documents went up, and one of them caught Wesker's interest. It was the document that said: T-TEST RESULTS
Wesker pulled up the document and began to read.
T-TEST RESULTS: SUBJECT: 00000001.
AFTER WE INJECTED RNA & EBOLA SUBJECT BEGAN TO CONVULSE. BLOOD PRESSURE HIGHER THAN NORMAL, AGGRESSION LEVEL HIGHER. SEEMED TO BE EXPERIENCING HUGE AMOUNTS OF PAIN. TEST ANALYSIS BELOW: BODY TEMP: 360 DEGREE. SWEAT TEMP: 20 DEGREE. BLOOD PRESSURE: 230
SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE FOR SUBJECY TO GAIN THAT MUCH HEAT, BUT VIRUS SEEMS TO RAISE HEAT LEVEL FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY. CONVULSING AND FEVER LASTED FOR TEN MINUTES ONLY. SUBJECT THEN BEGAN TO SLEEP SILENTLY AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. WE STUDIED THE SUBJECT FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS. IT BEGAN TO LOSE HAIR AND SKIN BEGAN TO FALL OFF AND ROT, BUT THE SUBJECT DID NOT DIE. WE NEED MORE EBOLA FOR THE NEXT TEST, AND BIT MORE OF THE RNA.
COMBINED RNA WITH THE EBOLA, A BIGGER SAMPLE, AND GAVE IT TO THE SUBJECT, A CANINE. IT CONVULSED AGAIN, AND ITS TEMP. RAISED TO 480 FOR ONLY FIVE MINUTES. ALMOST DIED. PROBABLY USED TOO MUCH OF THE EBOLA WE HAD LEFT. WE PLAN TO GO TO MORE COMPLEX MAMMALS IN THE FUTURE.
TED FLETCHER, SECOND ASSISTANT
Wesker blinked for a second, and realized that Birkin was reading over his shoulder. Wesker looked at Birkin, and Birkin had the same look on his face."What the hell have we gotten ourselves into?"
