Wesker's Report; Wesker hears that Alexia died after injecting herself with the T-Veronica Virus. He can't rely on Alfred to help with research. Wesker begins to wonder why Ozwell Spencer located the laboratory here, especially as Wesker believes other species (both animal and vegetable) could be affected by the virus. He realizes that placing a base in the Antarctic wasn't so crazy after all. The "failure" at the laboratory (the "woman" infected back in 1967) has been forgotten.

However, very few "test-subjects" could survive with the T-Virus inside them; most turn into zombies. Only 10 people in the United States have the correct DNA. Hearing that Umbrella France has recently started the Nemesis Project, Wesker requests appropriate samples, realizing that a tremendous soldier can now be created. The Nemesis parasite has a short life expectancy outside of the host body, so Wesker resolves to plant the Nemesis parasite into "the woman". The results are surprising-- She devours the parasite and lives. Wesker switches his research and begins to work on the "failure". |
