Well, now that that's taken care of, I want to apologize for the cheesy title, but it's the only thing I thought of at the time.

Resident Evil Outbreak: Umbrella Strikes Back

Prologue

Six months after the destruction of Raccoon City, things were getting back to normal for the few that were able to survive. The survivors believed their nightmarish ordeal was over. Trials were held, and prosecutors succeeded in recieving a "guilty" verdict against a number of authorities in Umbrella, Inc. The people's trust in the pharmaceutical company wained, and the company crumbled.

But for at least eight Raccoon City survivors, the nightmare wasn't over yet. Former RPD officer Kevin Ryman, investigative reporter Alyssa Ashcroft, security guard Mark Wilkins, subway employee Jim Chapman, cocktail waitress Cindy Lennox, college student and former Umbrella employee Yoko Suzuki, surgeon George Hamilton, and plumber David King were about to find out that escaping Umbrella is not an easy task.

These eight people had been infected, yet they never turned. They worked together to survive the chaos that the largest pharmaceutical company in the world had created. Lasting friendships had been formed, in spite of many differences - and even a clashing personality or two - among them. After the mass destruction of Raccoon City, they decided that it was best for all of them to split up and go their separate ways, but they remained close, and kept in touch. But now, some unknown agents of the now defunct Umbrella Corporation, have begun tracking them down. Their lives are about to be disrupted once more, and they will once again be thrust together in a fight for survival. A new nightmare has begun, and for these eight souls, survival is the only option.
