Chapter 2: The Search

"The purpose of this experiment, ladies and gentlemen, is to test the A-Virus. The suggested testing site is a city in the U.S. that serves no real importance. The specifications of the exercise are included in the booklets provided to you. If any of you seem to disagree with the proposals please raise your hand."

No refusals to Albert's Proposal so he turned around with his back to the board members. He took a few steps towards a window and turned around to speak.

"I suggest we use a human to experiment right now and then after the experiment, we might use a bio weapon."

He walked up to his seat and sat down. All the board members were either old men or young men who wore nametags labeled "Section B." Albert pressed a button on the remote and the screen descended and a picture immediately took form. The Umbrella logo appeared in the middle of the screen and then moved to the lower left-hand corner. On screen was a man wearing a prison uniform in a device that looked as if it was the way to infect the man. He was calm and heavily sedated.

" The man's name is Joseph Anderson and he was found on our property 10 days ago. We decided to use him."

A scientist stood next to the man and made sure his restraints were tightly secure.

"Aren't those a little much?" said one board member.

"No"

The camera zoomed into the subjects arm as a needle with a yellow substance inside became stuck in the subject's arm. Almost immediately afterwards the subject began to resist. He stopped his resistance and his veins protruded outwards of his body.

"This footage was taken 6 days ago. This is the subject today."

Albert pressed another button.

The screen switched to a dark screen but night-vision was employed. The subject was several times larger than before. He looked around and then tried to break the restraints.

" Ha, good luck there I personally made those restraints. Those are the strongest pair I've come up with," said a board member.

The attempts at escape were successful. The subject tore the restraints off and picked up the table over his head and threw it at the camera.

"What happened after that?" said one man as he stood out of his seat" Is the specimen free?"

"No my security advisor, Mr. Hunk, personally took care of the problem."

Hunk stood over in the corner and he waved at the board.

"Could we see the video?"

Albert pressed another button and showed footage of the specimen. Hunk was seen firing a sub-machinegun at the specimen. He dropped the gun and took out a tranquilizer gun. He fired off 3 rounds and had to reload. The creature began to run at Hunk but sluggishly tripped and slided to Hunk's feet.

"I fired enough tranquilizer to kill a man. He was then taken into custody of Section B."

"Briefing Dismissed."

Albert got out of his seat and walked to a door. Hunk followed closely behind and he tried to talk.

"Albert the helicopter is-"

"Ready? I know…"

"Where are you going anyway?"

"Shadow Peaks."

"Why there?"

"Nickolai is there."

"Nickolai?"

"You mean your cousin."

Wesker didn't reply but he stepped outside and boarded the Helicopter.
