Chapter 4 Explanations
"Okay here we go." Leon said "To start, as you probably have guessed, we aren't normal kids. We are actually members of a group called S.T.A.R.S., Special, Tactics, And, Rescue, Squad. S.T.A.R.S. at one time only worked in Raccoon city. Some of it's members escaped, the city as did we." "But I thought you guys lived in Muskrat City." Dexter said "That wasn't true." Leon said, "We came here under deep cover. But I'm getting ahead of myself, back to Raccoon city. Our parents and us managed to not get infected by the virus… except my parents, they tried to eat me, and I was forced to… forced to… shoot them." Leon stopped talking and sat down, Ada rushed over to him and Chris took over the story. "We made a bid for freedom and managed to escape, when S.T.A.R.S. found out they recruited us. S.T.A.R.S. then became a global organization determined to make sure Umbrella went down. We were sent here because we found out that there is no Viro Inc. and that this facility actually belongs to Umbrella! We were sent to stop another outbreak, but we were to late." "What about those monsters?" Bubbles asked "Umbrella isn't limited to zombies, they can also create monsters as well. That type was called a Hunter." "I thought the government took away Umbrellas stock. How can they keep making viruses and stuff?" Blossom asked "Umbrella recently gained a sample of a parasite that was created by a group called the Los Illuminados, the group that kidnapped the presidents daughter. You know those agents that saved her? They were Leon and Luis." Said Chris "Really?" Buttercup said "Yeah, anyway that's our story. Now you have to tells us what you're doing here." And so the girls and Dexter told their friends their whole story, how they had been created, their exploits, how they came to Megaville, and finally them coming to the facility. "Well enough story telling we've got work to do!" Steve said "We have to get to the main computer and stop the zombies escaping." "Steve's right" They turned to see Leon had gotten a hold of himself. "We have 6 hours before the computer system deactivates lockdown and the zombie gets out. We can't stay here." "Alright guys lets split into groups and find that computer. Everyone take radios so we can stay in contact." Ada said. They tiptoed into the corridor and split into 2 groups. "Luis, Ada, Blossom, Dexter, and I will go this way." Leon said "Okay, Claire, Steve, Buttercup, Bubbles, and I will go the other way." Chris said. "Okay call us if you find anything." Leon said and he gestured for his group to follow him.
"What is the lockdown you were talking about?" Dexter asked as they ventured down the hallway. "Well, the Hive is equipped with an super lockdown mode that can be activated only by using the main super computer. Before everyone lost contact with the hive, the lockdown mode was activated, so when the virus escaped, a person on the inside must have activated the lockdown before they transformed so the creatures wouldn't escape." "So why can't we just leave things in lockdown?" "Because lockdown only lasts a few hours. That's why we have to get to the main computer and activate the self-destruct system. That should wipe out the zombies and any other virus parasites that are still in the facility." "Activate the self destruct system?! With us in here?!" Dexter yelled "Be quiet and don't worry we know a secret exit, so we should be able to escape before the place blows up. You can leave if you're afraid." Leon said "I'm not afraid!" Dexter said indignantly "It's just I'm not crazy about this plan." Suddenly they came to a door labeled Kennels. "Okay everyone stick together." Said Leon and he slowly pushed open the door.
Chris walked slowly down the hall. he had just briefed Bubbles and Buttercup on their mission, they seemed a little nervous about it, but he didn't blame them. When Chris had been briefed on this mission he had been very nervous. Especially due to the fact he and Leon had been named leaders of the mission. He hadn't been surprised, more nervous, in mission training and simulations He and Leon had always assumed the role of leaders. Leon had said they would do fine, after all they always did fine in the training, why should being in the field be any different? But that didn't make things any easier, those were just simulations, if he made a mistake here, it could be disastrous. "Hellooooooo, earth to Chris!" Claire's voice brought Chris out of his thoughts he opened his eyes to see Claire staring at him 'If you would stay out of La-la land fearless leader we can actually focus on our mission." She said with a mocking smile. "Shut up Claire." Chris said with a smile. They suddenly arrived at a door marked Botanical experiments. "Wonder what they keep in here?" Luis said. "We better find out." Chris said "Everyone stay close." and he pushed open the door.
