Psychological Report: Umbrella Employee: Scientists: William Birkin

Closing Comments

Birkin continues to exhibit a strange mixture of mania and extreme reserve. Watching him talk about his work is like watching an internal battle take place as one part of him wants to dazzle with the detail and scale, whilst the other wants to keep it all hidden within.

His obsessive talk of ‘the future’ is worrying as well. He refuses to provide any real information or idea of what he believes this future will hold for him, and yet… he also seems to see this future as a truly great place for him and his family.

He is incredibly tired. His work ethic is commendable – but how long can he work at this pace before mistakes are made? The fact that he became very agitated when questioned about the past is a sign of this fatigue – particularly the conversation relating to the local police force.

In the opinion of this department, Umbrella should continue to keep an extremely close eye on Dr. William Birkin and ensure that his psychological evaluations take place at much more regular intervals. Our suggestion is to schedule a new evaluation next month. Perhaps things will have settled down a little by then.

Secret Umbrella Empolyee Report

                                                                Decemeber 13, 2010

          After the fall of the Umbrella facility in Russia, many believe that was the end for Umbrella… hehe, they were wrong. Albert Wesker may have manage to erased the memories of the Red Queen, but I manage to get hold of the back files for the Red Queens. Hmph, besides I’m the one who programmed her in the first place. In linger throughout the world collecting the left over data from the abandon Umbrella facilities around the world and living a pretty “normal” life. In 2009, Chris Redfield and his allies manage to destory Albert Wesker and his plans somewhere in Africa. Wesker’ s creation was amazing.. the Uroboro virus Wesker had created from Progenitor virus. Pity, Wesker failed and he is declared dead… Heh… I don’t believe that. All I have to say is that Tricell failed to cover up their data. I see they experimented on the Lickers .. known as Licker β. Interesting I must say, though I do see alot of fawls with the B.O.W. As I linger silently, living here an apartment somewhere in New York City. I shall bring back Umbrella. If anyone is reading this… Umbrella is not dead. I shall reborn it and it shall be new again… Only the Red Queen knows of my identity and i shall remain that way. I must call in the former researchers and U.S.S soon… I leave this as it is as of I have some exracting to do.

 Umbrella will live on....

Umbrella B.O.W Files: MA-121 Hunter α

Loading data…

 ClassificationB.O.W. Model: “MA-121 Hunter α”Base Organism: Human / Reptile

TraitsHeight: 130 cm [standing: 163 cm]
Width: 95 cm

Dev. code: “MA-120”. The Hunter was the first battle-type B.O.W. to be developed, and the primary product of Umbrella Corporation on the B.O.W. market. The Hunter is developed from a fertilized human egg transfected with reptilian genetic material and infected with the t-Virus. Based on genetic engineering techniques, the t-Virus itself is likely the vector used to introduce reptilian genes into the human egg. The resulting creature is a frightening cross between human and reptile with exemplary combat abilities and high intelligence. Having many different types, models and subspecies, the Hunter is a representative model of a successful B.O.W. experiment which caters to both cost and performance. It was one of the the main B.O.W. products of the Umbrella Corporation on the B.O.W. market for many years until it was replaced by subsequent improved models, and later with the Anubis after research data was leaked out to a rival company.

 History
Deviating from the intentions of Ozwell E. Spencer, the Hunter was first developed in 1981 by Dr. William Birkin at the Arklay Laboratory. The initial goals of the project were to develop a “Fighting Living Biological Weapon”, which could eliminate all human targets within an operation area such as those wearing body armor, equipped with biological warfare suits or those who escape infection from the t-Virus. During the early stage of its design, the concept was; “A biological weapon which possesses high movement ability and can hunt and annihilate the target effectively, possesses a certain level of intelligence to carry out orders, and holds extremely high aggression, agility and jumping capabilities”. Initially, experiments were suspended in order to protect the specimens from the out-of-control Birkin. However, following the reported death of Alexia Ashford, the experiments resumed.

Following the first actual combat observations of the B.O.W., it was finally given its official name; the “Hunter”. Some specimens were kept in the Umbrella Research Center in a B.O.W. combat training arena, where they saw extensive action. After more than a decade of research and development and many successive improvements, the Hunter finally reached the research team’s goal of a “Mass Production B.O.W.”, and it was completed, mass-produced and sold under the MA-121 code number and dubbed “Hunter α”.

Following the successful evaluation of the Hunter MA-120, Umbrella began mass production under the “MA-121” code number. Live field combat data against actual highly trained soldiers was acquired at the Arklay Laboratory on July 24, 1998. This test provided Umbrella with a large volume of data which the company’s branches utilized in order to develop new and better Hunter types. The α model itself was also re-developed with enhanced performance, with an improved type produced on Sheena Island.

The α model proved influential in the future development of the Hunter, including the creation of the improved Hunter R, Hunter β and Hunter γ models. Independent Hunter types were also developed by The 3rd Organization, thanks to the research data and embryonic samples stolen by Albert Wesker, producing results such as the Hunter II and Sweeper sub-species.

Attributes
The α model’s appearance is that of the original Hunter model, a humanoid reptile, with green scales covering it’s entire body. It brandishes large claws on each arm which it uses as its main attack method. They possess unmatched speed, agility, attack power and the ability to adhere to simple commands, branding them a success and ensuring Umbrella’s continuous interest in the B.O.W. especially due to its relative low cost and high effectiveness.

Nemesis wakes...

Umbrella Files: Transcription of conversation with ex Umbrella employee

I won’t give you any of my details. I don’t trust anybody anymore. They have their hooks into everything and everybody. They’re that powerful. I was on the inside, I saw the influence, the power, the control they have. They’re not a company, they’re the equivalent of a government. What they say goes.

   I used to work in the labs below the mansion... but I saw things, things I’ll never forget. I’m a bio-engineer and was originally employed to work in the renewable bio-energy division. It wasn’t long though until I was moved from there to a special projects division where we were briefed on something that would change me forever.

   We were told that we were developing a material that would help to harness the power produced by bio- electric generators. Apparently these next-gen experimental generators would change the way power was produced in the poorest regions of the world, but there was a problem with power surges which were blowing the systems too regularly for them to be viable. My team’s role was to develop a cover which would absorb this power safely and limit the output of the generators.

That was the story. And to some extent it was true.

I should have realized that we weren’t being told the whole truth. We never even got to see one of these experimental generators – we were given the data and worked theoretically for weeks, before we were finally shown a small-scale example of the kind of generator they were talking about.

Even now, months later, I find it hard to describe the horror I felt as I looked at the poor animal hooked up with wires, diodes, drips and other connections I couldn’t even hope to understand. It was obviously a dog – or had been – like a police dog. But this dog was quite obviously pulsating… the things being
pumped into it were powering it, and sending it wild. Thank god it was secured to the floor, because the look in its eye made it perfectly clear that this was a killer and it wanted to get at all of us.

As I watched, I swear I could see its skin sparking as its muscles bunched and released. It let out a low growl and some kind of slime came out of its mouth, a lurid green, acrid slime that stank horribly.

And this was to be the kind of generator people would have in their homes? The lead scientist laughed and assured us that of course it wasn’t. This was a generator that used the same bio-organic principles, but in a much more manageable form. It was easier to use a rabid dog that was going to be put down, than to build and experiment on the kind of generator Umbrella was looking to create in the long run. And anyway the lead scientist finished, that really wasn’t my concern.

It felt all wrong to me, but I had a job to do, and although it seemed cruel, the benefits of the perfected generator would far outweigh the suffering of this animal.

In hindsight, I should have walked out there and then. But no, stupidly I looked blindly past the wrongness of it and began working on this material that would contain the power this beast was generating. I never even thought to question what would power the real generators. I suppose I just imagined it would be some bio-engineered fuel that another team was developing.

Again, that was partly true.

     And so after several weeks, I’d helped develop a material – a bio-electric polymer which, if we wrapped the ‘generator’ in it, severely limited its power leakages. We measured the current that flowed across the poor animal’s skin both before the application of the material and after and found the power had dropped down to about 20% of its previous levels – well within the targets we had been set.

When wrapped in the material, the flesh (it could hardly be called a dog any more) would even respond to simple commands. It was bolted to the floor so it couldn’t move, but it would cock its head and listen if we spoke to it, whereas before we’d been unable to communicate with it – it was too busy trying to tear us apart with its foul jaws!

So that was it… mission accomplished. Or so I thought. A few months later I hadn’t heard any further news about the development of these generators, or indeed the power limiting material. When I asked about them, I was told that plans were already in place to get me involved with the next step of a similar project. Within a week I was flown to Europe to help a team there work on a very special, top secret project. I was given no more information, only that my background and specialist knowledge would help the team to even greater success.

I thought the dog experiment was bad. My first day at work in Europe and I witnessed a condemned man being ‘infected’ with a parasite, the NE-alpha parasite which had just been discovered. I can’t even begin to tell you how sickened, disgusted and repulsed I was at this. What the hell was I doing there? What had this to do with anything that could help anyone anywhere?

I soon received my answer – I was witnessing what was at that stage named the Nemesis project, and I later realized I had been present at the birth of what is now known as the T02. Apparently this was to be a ‘super soldier’ that Umbrella could use to carry out orders that normal soldiers could not. Umbrella had suddenly revealed to me exactly what it was all about – it was the complete antithesis of the company I thought I’d joined.

They were dealing in soldiers, not solutions; death, not life. I could see this immediately, but they still persisted in their charade, that this super soldier would in fact bring peace wherever it was deployed, and that its main duties would probably be to help out in disaster zones by helping to find and dig out survivors of earthquakes, floods and the like. One look at this abomination, which was becoming more powerful by the day, more hulking, more extreme and I KNEW Nemesis wasn’t a glorified rescue dog… it was an… unholy beast.

I vividly remember seeing the abomination, which no longer resembled a human, climb to its feet one morning. The floor of the cell literally cracked as this lumbering creature planted its unthinkable weight onto its huge jackboots – boots that were at least twice the size of my own shoes.
 
As it stood, I could see its eyes – stark and white, with no pupil - and I could swear for a moment it was looking at me, trying to understand what was happening. There was obviously still something of the condemned man left inside that now grossly swollen head. Veins pulsed and throbbed beneath skin that now had a grayish, sickly tinge as Nemesis’ lips pulled back from his teeth in a snarl.

Its arms bunched and relaxed, and even through its thick leather coat I could see enormous muscles tensing not just on its arms, but also across its barrel chest. The creature looked down at itself and let out the most horrendous, blood-chilling roar I have ever heard.

I knew then that we’d created a monster.

 My work was very limited on the project at first, partly by choice and partly because it appeared my specialty wasn’t needed. They’d shipped me over to create a power limiter for the Nemesis – but as tests continued, we soon realized that with the NE-alpha Parasite controlling the host, it still retained some semblance of intelligence which we thought would ensure it wouldn’t run amok and could focus on its mission.

As the creature grew, the team began to suspect that it had the intelligence to use tools. Now here would have been a chance to show that T02 was to be used for good. But no, instead of seeing how he would handle construction or rescue tools, the team set about seeing which weapons Nemesis could wield.

The tests did not go quite as planned I’m happy to say (although I hate myself for admitting that I took pleasure in the deaths of some of the team), with the rocket launcher training proving particularly problematic – maybe not a surprise considering the background of the original host!

It was here that I had to contribute most to the project – and in fact this was a role I relished as I had to modify my power limiter material to work as an intelligence inhibitor, to make the T02 easier to control and manage. I saw this as my opportunity to severely weaken the beast – to try and make it as ineffectual as possible. Perhaps to even kill the project by reducing Nemesis to a blubbering wreck.

But I underestimated the strength, resilience, stamina and will of the creature. I set out to fry the intelligence out of its skull. It’s fair to say I hardly even dented it – in fact, I think my work actually made the Nemesis more effective. I believe I handed Umbrella the controllable creature they always wanted.

You may wonder why I was still on the project at all. Why I hadn’t left Umbrella long ago. As you know my friend, Umbrella makes it very hard for you to leave once you’ve discovered certain things… they take steps to ensure you stay loyal. Or out of the picture permanently.

The more time I spent in Europe on this project, the more I learned about Umbrella and the more I realized what an idiot I’d been. The dog ‘generator’, the limiter material, Nemesis, B.O.W.s and a whole host of things I’d rather forget. I learned that the Nemesis was based on an American project (which I’d also unwittingly contributed to) focused on developing Tyrants. I found out that ALL of my work had been used to develop weapons. I realized that I had to get out.

So I disappeared – of my own volition rather than them making me disappear.

I’m telling you this so you can warn people. They’re not going to sit on T02 for long. They’re itching to use it in a combat situation, I only hope that that situation never presents itself.

Umbrella Security Service Profile: Psychological Report: HUNK

Subject name: HUNK
Subject occupation: USS operative

Reason for report:

HUNK has recently seen heavy action and carried out a number of relatively intense operations yet has shown no signs of stress or any normal emotional response for that matter. Our sessions were to ascertain whether HUNK has sustained any long-term, hidden psychological damage as a result of his participation in these operations.

First impressions:

My first impressions of HUNK were of a man incredibly committed to his work. In fact, in all my conversations with him, he never once suggested that his life contained anything other than his duties as a member of USS. This however was not seen as a negative – HUNK was not complaining – if anything it showed that HUNK was not interested in anything which did not relate to life as a member of USS.

It’s hard in fact to imagine HUNK complaining about anything. He is very much a product of his profession in that he is a man who follows orders to the letter – with no regard to his own safety, or to the consequences of his actions.

It’s actually quite a task to get HUNK to speak about many things in great detail – and virtually impossible to get him to talk about himself. Even after several sessions, I am still in the dark about most of his background – his family, friends (I’m almost certain HUNK would see the whole concept of ‘friends’ as laughable) or even relationships (the name Bella seems to have some resonance with him although I’m yet to ascertain what the relationship is exactly) are a closed door.

With any other subject I would suggest that I need more time to break through the resistance, to really get through to the inner HUNK – but it’s apparent to me that HUNK is not offering any resistance. It’s almost as if he’s wiped those parts of his life from his memory. This could well be a method he’s developed to protect himself from the horrors he’s seen – to separate the human side of HUNK from the soldier side. The problem is, I think the soldier side is now all there is to him. My fear is that the human side of HUNK is now lost forever.

As a psychologist, this is a fascinating study. I should imagine that for a USS commander, HUNK is the ideal soldier – almost the super soldier of legend. He seems to have no morals or reservations, no fear and no apparent desire to get out and return to an individual life at all.

HUNK is at his most animated when t@lking about action he has seen. But even here, he is not try#ng to impr6ss, he merely r??ate$ the action that took place.

The incident we’ll come to in more detail shortly demonstrates that his cold-hearted, detached persona is not an act, but s#@ethi?? that is n&^ p@*( of him. It is this that ??@%^& ###.. tui luwl +%•ª ©∆ further study if requi€#.

Umbrella Security Service Psychological Profile: Wolfpack: Vector

Real name: unknown
Age: early 30s
Nationality: Japanese
Blood type: O+
Team role: Recon

Background

Little is known about Vector’s background, other than he has obviously trained with Japanese masters as his martial artistry is impressive. His movements are instinctive and smooth – this is in complete contrast to when Vector is at rest, standing as motionless as a statue.

He has spent time training directly under our own USS Alpha Team leader, HUNK per his request. Both share a mutual respect for the other’s abilities – and have an ice-cold disregard for anyone they consider inferior.

Vector has been assigned to USS Delta Team where HUNK’s influence will live on. Vector has indicated he would like to continue serving with HUNK but for now the organization is better served with them on different teams. Perhaps the occasion will arise when they will work together again.

Specialist skills and equipment:

Stealth Run

Vector has unmatched speed on the battlefield and nearly silent footsteps.

Detection Avoidance

Like a ghost, he avoids detection on enemies’ mini-maps.

Motion Detector

Sticks to surfaces and reveals all enemies within a specified radius and can potentially stun them.

Mimicry

Vector uses this skill to physically transform himself into another soldier to confuse his enemies.

Active Camouflage

Used to cloak himself while infiltrating enemy ranks and eliminating targets without detection.

Umbrella Security Service Psychological Profile: Wolfpack: Four Eyes

Real name: Christine YamataAge: 28
Nationality: Japanese American
Blood type: A-
Team role: Scientist

Background

Four Eyes has been dedicated to science since she was a child – as a result she did not develop the social skills needed to operate successfully in later life. She is detached from normal human emotions, seeing people merely as breeding grounds for her singular love: virology.

This particular branch of science is the sole reason that she is part of the USS. Her motivation is that this is the best place for her not only to study some of the deadliest outbreaks in the world, but to experiment with some of Umbrella’s own cutting edge viral breakthroughs.

She has no compunction when it comes to gathering and experimenting on live human subjects and on many missions she has been discovered experimenting on the wounded, and often on captives. This has occasionally proven to be detrimental to the ongoing mission.

However, her practical knowledge of virology use in the field is unparalleled.

Specialist skills and equipment:

Biometric Vision

Four Eyes can instantly spot infected specimens and identify their weak points.

Antiviral Proficiency

Always seems to have an anti-viral spray with her, and can carry more than most.

Induced Infection

Can use a hypo gun to infect soldiers or turn zombies into crimson heads.

Attraction Pheromone

Gas-filled vials she uses to attract T-Virus-infected enemies.

Program Infected

Four Eyes can take control of an infected enemy for a short amount of time if she injects them with this hypo gun.

Umbrella Security Service Psychological Profile: Wolfpack: Bertha

Real name: Michaela Heinzwaffen
Age: 34
Nationality: German
Blood type: B+
Team role: Medic

Background

Bertha is an excellent medic, dedicated to healing and keeping the human body working to its maximum potential. Her talent in this area overshadows the fact that she also has an extreme lack of bedside manner; it often seems it is her mission to terrify the person she is working on by detailing exactly how much pain they can expect to experience. This is a particularly pertinent point as Bertha very rarely uses anesthetic.

Her approach makes her completely unsuitable for work in a civilian role, but an excellent choice as the Wolfpack field medic where her toughness, and lack of sensitivity and sentimentality make her extremely effective.

Bertha also contracts with anyone willing to pay as a professional torturer. Just as effective at causing pain as she is at healing, she uses her extensive knowledge of the human body to bring her subjects to the brink of death and back again over and over until she gets the information she wants. Her personal work is also a vast source of top secret and back channel information for us which should not be discounted.

Specialist skills and equipment:

Field Medic

Her skill means she can restore a huge amount of health with healing items.

First Aid Proficiency

Bertha always seems to have at least one first aid spray with her – and can carry more than other soldiers with ease.

Stimpack

Bertha can improve the accuracy, movement and reload speed of any soldier, as well as reduce weapon recoil by using these hypo guns.

Neutralize Infection

A hypo gun to cure infection on Bertha or her teammates – has been known to inflict damage on the infected.

Painkiller

A hypo gun to reduce the amount of damage she or a teammate receives.
