Underground Laboratory B5
Reception and Lobby
Cue Theme:
Resident Evil 2 OST – The Underground Laboratory
Roxanne, Freddy and Monty managed to make it to B5 escaping the mutated monsters on B4 that were chasing them.
The hallways and reception areas where a mess, with chairs knocked over, display screens smashed, and some bodies scattered throughout ether on the floors or slumped over chairs and desks. Bloody hand prints and claw marks on the walls throughout the area.
"She must have did all this." Freddy said.
They saw the dead Afton Security Force soldiers scattered throughout.
"All I can smell is, death…." Roxanne said walking through cautiously with her weapon in hand.
She noticed the soldiers had weapons on them. She walked over to some of the soldiers on the ground and picked their pockets and vests for supplies.
"Roxanne what are you doing?" Freddy asked.
"It's called survival hun." Roxanne said gathering up unused ammunition and magazines for their weapons.
Freddy shook his head at the mess throughout the area. Even if they were working for Afton for the wrong reasons, Freddy didn't like seeing anyone die, his sympathy was more towards the office workers than the Afton Security Force.
Roxanne felt if these soldiers were willing to capture them and do awful things to them at a whim, they deserved karma getting them.
"Here, take these." Roxanne said handing Monty two magazines for the SIG MCX. She also handed Freddy two magazines for his SIG MCX.
They took them and put them in their pockets.
Roxanne then took two intact vests, with no damage or blood on them from the soldiers and gave them to Freddy and Monty to put on.
They now had more room to carry equipment.
"C'mon, let's keep going. We need to find a way out.
They made their way down the hall cautiously, no monsters in sight, just dead staff members and damage.
They were walking by a room that said "Data and Analytics research".
"Maybe, there is something there that can point us in a direction." Freddy said.
"Worth a shot." Roxanne quipped. They entered through the door using their key card, shutting it and locking it behind them.
Data and Analytics Research Area
The room was a large data center with racks of servers and network equipment humming away, carefully climate controlled by an air conditioner.
There was several desks in a room attached to the data center.
"So did we just step into theses' folks IT department?" Monty asked.
"I don't know. But it would make sense if they are processing large amounts of research data here." Freddy said.
They walked into the brightly lit office at the end of the data center.
The office area was split into two offices, one for each department.
Information Technology and then Data Processing.
This was both the IT department for the facility and an area where data and system analysts worked on the software and database side of the operations, creating automations in the systems to make the day to day business operations more efficient. Because of this, sensitive research data was frequently seen by the analysts.
One of them appeared to be a whistleblower who tried to get information out but didn't make it. They had sensitive documents in a folder on their desk.
Freddy and Monty examined the IT office, while Roxanne examined the Data Processing office.
Roxanne walked up to the desk to examine it. She could tell the person left in a hurry with a iced coffee with fresh condensation still sitting on the desk with a half eaten donut, she saw a picture on the desk of a man with his family.
She saw this man among the bodies in the hallway.
"Looks like he didn't make it." Roxanne said frowning. She felt bad for the family in the photo.
The folder caught her eye, almost as if it was forgotten by accident.
She opened it up to see the files inside.
Cue Theme:
Resident Evil 2 OST – The Wreckage of The Mad Experiment
"What the hell?" She said.
She sat in the office chair moving items out of the way on the desk to put the files in front of her. She was intrigued and terrified by what she saw inside. Now reading through the pages like a book full horrors she can't bear to witness yet is still pulled in.

Development Of EC-2021
Experiment 19888
October 1st 2035
Robots while powerful and full of potential to be the next ruling class we can utilize to further our goals, lack the ability to evolve physically on their own unlike organic lifeforms.
We need to find ways to advance human capabilities well past what nature intended, if we want to take control of this planet and it's governments.
The Vanny and Elizabeth projects were a success in many regards, but Vanny lacks any superhuman abilities we desire in the perfect race. Elizabeth however, shows potential. After cloning Vanessa Afton, we were able to enhance her original DNA to provide the abilities Elizabeth developed. This took months of genetic engineering and was not an overnight feat. We need ways to speed up such a process for both embryos still in development and for an already full grown human.
We took blood samples shortly before her "birth" or "re-birth" to analyze the changes we made to her genetic makeup to see if it was possible to introduce these genes into another human's genome by some means.
A virus. That was the answer.
A retrovirus was a great start. Retroviruses have the capability to alter a cell's DNA. We took a sample of a retrovirus, Human T-lymphotropic virus, otherwise known as HTLV. A virus known for causing different types of leukemia in humans.
Our team went to work, using various methods to insert the genes of Elizabeth into the virus's genetic makeup.
We were successful with our first prototype of EC-2021. The EC in our name was an acronym for Endless Chimera, the number 2021 being the number of attempts this research took before perfected.
-Researcher Luis Caberra
"What the fuck…." Roxanne said.
Experiment Log
First Human Trials of EC-2021
Experiment 19993
October 2nd 2035
We injected our first host. An associate of William Afton who disobeyed orders and needed to be made an example of.
They will be called Subject 23 for the rest of this document.
Subject 23 was escorted to our laboratory by force.
We secured Subject 23 to a gurney in our testing room, he was sedated.
We began by administering EC-2021 in their IV line shortly after sedation. Results took effect.
Subject 23 within an hour began to develop various mutations on their exterior. The most prominent was a set of horns upon the subjects head. This intrigued us. How was this possible?
Our findings indicate that the path a subjects transformation takes, is determined by mental factors of the subject. Looking at this subjects background, we discovered he was often fascinated by bulls and owned a farm outside of the facility.
We are not sure how this mechanism works, but it may be influenced by the levels of various hormones and chemicals in the brain in these types of individuals.
Sedation wore off and Subject 23 showed high levels of aggression and an impressive display of physical strength killing three of our research staff by impaling them with horns that grew on the hands, before being terminated by the Afton Security Force on standby.
After taking samples, the body was cremated and a fabricated story was issued to the family of Subject 23 with a sum of funds deposited into an offshore account.
We will continue to take this information and advance this research, it looks promising if we can somehow keep the mutations controlled.

"Luis…..That piece of shit was already doing some dirty shit for the longest…." Roxanne commented.
Experiment Log
Creation of a stabilizing nanomachine to keep EC-2021 infected subjects mutations under control
Experiment 19994
October 4th 2035
NOTE: Due to the unexpected death of our lead researcher Luis Caberra, Eclipse Star has been appointed as head of research and development as the lead researcher of this project. Henceforth these notes will be taken from his results and research.
My team has worked with me to develop a type of nanomachine that can keep the mutations of EC-2021 subjects at bay, leaving them looking human, without the additional aggression or the random exterior mutations.
We are calling this nanomachine VN-2020. It shall be referred to as this, for the rest of this document.
Controlling the mutations of EC-2021 is accomplished by pre-programing the nanomachine with the genetic makeup of the subject before infection, introducing the nanomachine, then infecting the subject. The nanomachines will constantly monitor the cells throughout the body for any uncontrolled changes outside of the parameters we want EC-2021 to change including the hosts original DNA that makes them human. The nanomachines will delete or remove genes in a cell that appear to be mutating outside of these defined parameters and if that is not possible, will terminate these cells completely before they could divide any further much like a cancerous cell does.
The end result is a subject that very much matches the abilities of Elizabeth Afton in her new body. All the strengths, without the hideous side effects of EC-2021.
We will be testing this on a new subject that just had been admitted to the facility. One of the undocumented workers, William has decided to spare.
-Eclipse Star, Lead Researcher
"Who the hell is Eclipse? I have never heard of them." Roxanne asked.
Roxanne kept reading.
Experiment Log
Administering pre-programmed VN-2020 before EC-2021 infection.
Experiment 19995
October 5th 2035
Our subject, Subject Alpha we will call them. We brought into our facility in a sedated state. He was a young Cuban man.
We took blood samples then programmed his genetic makeup using the DNA samples into our VN-2020 nanomachines. We injected the solution containing VN-2020 then waited 15 minutes to remotely verify that VN-2020 nanomachines were online and reporting back to our systems.
Once VN-2020 was active, we then injected EC-2021 and waited 1 hour for results.
The subject did not mutate, we were able to take blood samples during this period while sedation was still in effect.
But upon sedation wearing off, Subject Alpha woke up and was able to pull the straps on their gurney off with ease. Eventually picking up a large heavy table in the observation room and throwing it at the door with ease in attempts to escape.
He was terminated by the Afton Security Force after he escaped to outside the premises successfully, using explosive weaponry.
We now have a way to move forward, and build a race of humans that can stand side by side with us machines and push our team's agenda forward globally.
-Researcher Eclipse Star
"What a sick fuck. We already stand side by side with humans, they don't have to prove that their better than us, and we don't have to prove were better than them. What matters is we live together in peace and treat each other equally. I hate this eugenics bullshit these sickos push." Roxanne said.
She continued reading another document, this one was different than the others.
Experiment Log
What happens when VN-2020 is not pre-programmed with the subjects base DNA?
Experiment – Doesn't matter its my last one under Afton
December 22nd 2035
My team along with Jason Tyler wanted to find out what happens if a subject was injected with VN-2020 without any base DNA programmed, then introduced to EC-2021 infection.
Today we received our results.
After several days of injecting Vanny our associate, with VN-2020 mixed with repeated injections of EC-2021, we got our results.
VN-2020 can keep the mutations under control for a few days before EC-2021's mutations grow way outside of what VN-2020 can keep under control without a copy of the host's human DNA in it's memory banks. What further complicates this experiment is the fact Vanny was also injected with Afton's nanomachine creation, AN-8387. Perhaps Afton's strength enhancing nanomachines were serving as a buffer to delay or protect Vanny's cells from uncontrollable mutations before they grew too great to maintain.
Vanny eventually did begin mutation as of today. I was able to observe it before departing the facility via helicopter and initiating a lockdown.
While we will continue to monitor results remotely from our new location. This is the last document I will be composing before I leave this lackluster facility.
Afton will likely not see these notes since, he did order us to purge all the research on the systems located here regarding the virus.
Vanny is of no more value to me other than entertainment. I will however always thank her for creating me and allowing me to indulge myself in the world of science.
I have taken my own backups of these notes before I make my leave and initiate the wipe on the servers located here. I know Afton can only keep up his plans for long before the US government intervenes. He has ignored my advice and the advice of my business partner. That arrogant fool. He is so fixated on reuniting his little family, he has lost sight of the bigger picture.
He is still so focused on the capabilities of Remnant, he forgot about what is achievable via biological means. The cells.
Why take over the world when you can live in the shadows operating it's corporations and lobbying for influence to advance your own research.
Afton will fall one day, I have my escape plans in place for when that time comes and when that day comes, I will make my moves from the safety of the place I know best, the shadows.
Weather or not Jason joins me, that's on him. I prefer to work alone however.
But I hope someone else in the facility gets to see my thoughts before they become part of my grand experiment.
Just so I can see how their fear response works from the camera's.
-Eclipse Star
"Holy shit. They even turned on Vanny." Roxanne said.
"Guys you need to see this." Roxanne yelled poking her head out the office door.
She showed Freddy and Monty the documents.
"Holy shit, this is just the beginning." Monty said.
"They must be at the island….we can't not waste anymore time here, we have to keep moving. We need to find a way out of here, fast." Freddy said.
"Island?" Roxanne asked.
"I will explain later. Right now, we need to hurry." Freddy said.
7:00 PM
Underground Laboratory B1
Reception Area
The OAOS team was now in the facility.
"We made it!" Dawkin said.
"Thanks for your help Foxy." Chica said.
"Of course. Anything I can do to help, I will do it." Funtime Foxy said.
"Well if it isn't Funtime Foxy…." A woman's voice said.
Vanessa knew who it was.
She raised her weapon to see Vanny in her mutated form.
"V…Vanny?" Vanessa had trouble finding her words because she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Oh hahaha, Vanessa and Elizabeth. The 3 of us, here now, sisters." Vanny said with a crazed look on her face. The 2nd head that was humanoid on her shoulder kept grinding it's sharp teeth, ferociously waiting to consume something.
"Don't you dare call us sisters. The only thing we had in common was the fact your looks were stolen from me. But now…from the looks of it, you've become something entirely different on your own. I don't know how you got your makeover, but it suits your personality." Vanessa shot back.
She raised her SIG MCX Rattler ready to fire.
"I can make you look just like me now if your jealous. Come here, let this little bunny show you how." Vanny said.
"Not that I care, but more of my curiosity, how did you end up like that?" Vanessa asked.
"Eclipse and Jason, did this to me with a virus that was supposed to kill me, while William left me to die." Vanny said.
"Wait Jason's alive!?" Vanessa said.
"Has been for awhile. You didn't think that was actually Faux Foxy did you?" Vanny asked.
"How….?" Vanessa responded.
"Same as the other Faux models. Human brain to machine transplant. We found him in the ruins of the laboratory near the pizzaplex shortly after the explosion. But it doesn't matter now. Because once I get out of here I will find him, and I will kill him." Vanny said.
"What about this virus? How did they infect you? Where did it come from?" Vanessa demanded.
Vanessa's questions were driven by the fact that if this virus gets out and it's infectious, that is a much bigger problem for the population. She could not let it escape if that was the case.
"I told you, Eclipse and Jason bestowed this on me, while your grandfather just let it happen, when they gave me my enhancements. How nice of them right? I was their guinea pig, this entire time. If you want to know more, you can always ask Eclipse and your grandfather. But I don't think you'll get a chance to ask….Did you know I can infect others with this virus at will? Just come a little closer Vanessa." Vanny said.
"Stay the fuck back!" Bonnie yelled.
The animatronics shielded the humans from Vanny. Something was off, they could sense it. If she mutated like this, it could be a disease that was transmittable.
"Vanessa, Dawkin, all of you run. We will hold her off." Mangle ordered.
"I'm not going anywhere. I have to face her. She is responsible for ruining half of my life Mangle. I can't just walk away again, I'm not running." Vanessa said raising her weapon alongside Mangle.
"Vanessa…if you die…." Mangle said.
"I won't. Now the rest of you listen to her, go." Vanessa ordered.
"I'm staying. I'm the captain of this team. We fight together, we come home together." Dawkin said.
"So be it then. You will witness greatness…Nothing can stop it now." Vanny said. She now welcomed the virus mutating her. The last threads of her sanity leaving her.

Resident Evil 2 OST – Destined to be Malformed
Another mutation began.
Suddenly four more arms, all four, clawed sprouted through her torso on each side, tearing through the remains of her pajama shirt. The arms did not even look human in the slightest, more demonic looking.
"Ohhhh it hurts but it's soooo worth it!" Vanny shouted into the air.
Her human head and neck shifted down to her chest, and the raw red looking 2nd head shifted it's position to where her human head once was.
"I….I am the ultimate life form. I'm….I'm beautiful. I will make everyone love me." Vanny said.
The 2nd head now could speak. It had a mind of it's own and shared it's first words.
"Meat…..Need to ingest." The 2nd head said in a hoarse voice.
