Our secondary analysis of the out break at Raccoon City tells us that the release of the T-Virus was no mistake. Representatives of Umbrella Corporation blame the tragedy on mishandling of the substance, but the epicenter of the damage has been determined as the subway station at the intersection of Ninth street and Partisan Avenue.
Furthermore, data recovered from within The Hive, a secret research facility below the city, sheds light on what we have all feared. The T-Virus was not the only project that Umbrella was working on. Chimera is another biological agent the company was developing for use as a weapon.
Chimera and the T-Virus are related, though Chimera is much more deadly than its cousin. First off, Chimera infects a host while it is still alive. The host never actually dies, and when it is in the 'zombified' state that its counterpart is famous for, the host seems to still retain intelligence.
Umbrella at first tested the product on lab rats, apes, and dogs. Realizing it's potential, Umbrella took to kidnapping the city's homeless population and resumed tests on more 'complex' animals.
The outbreak of the T-Virus was planned, but the damage that was done by it was not. The rapidity with which the Virus spread was only matched by the damage dealt to the city by the 'compromised' citizens. To prevent further outbreaks, and to cover its own tracks, Umbrella partially destroyed The Hive by detonating the nuclear power plant that had provided power to the underground facility.
Now, armed with this information you have two objectives:
- Determine whether a Chimera breakout has occured, if so terminate all contaminated, human or otherwise.
- Lay charges to desroy the top half of The Hive, sealing the facility.
In the result of failure on your behalf, the city will be destroyed by more
obtrusive means.
