Resident Evil - Strategy Guide (Page 16)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Resident Evil - Strategy Guide (Page 16).

It was just as I thought. A legend is, after all, merely that....a legend.

After the news of Alexia's death, Birkin changed. Or I guess I should say, he 
returned back to his normal self. 

But I guess the biggest thing was that all of his subordinates now had no 
choice but to think of him as the main researcher. Since, now, there was no 
one who could surpass his talents. 

However, with that, it became "taboo" for anyone to talk about Alexia in front 
of him. 

He fiercely opposed me when I planned on getting a sample of the T-Veronica 
Virus.

I had no choice but to put finding the truth about Alexia's research on the 
back burner. 

In the end, even though the situation was at its best, Birkin, himself, failed 
to grow up and advance his research.

However, at that time I was concerned more about a different question at hand. 

The Arklay Research Center was surrounded by a dense forest.

I often hiked through the forest but since the center was located in a 
mountain region there was never anyone to be found nearby. 

The only method of transportation was by helicopter. And the center wasn't 
exactly the type of place people came to visit. 

One important reason for the fact that the center was located in such an 
isolated location was to prevent the virus from getting out in the instance of 
a "leak".

However, "biological weapons" aren't that simple.

"Viruses" don't only infect humans. The[y] can infect "other" things as well. 

Any virus is usually capable of infecting more than one host.

For example, the number of species that the ordinary "influenza virus" (the 
common flu) is recognized as infecting birds, pigs, horses, seals, and humans. 

The difficult part is that not all types of animals/people within a species 
are affected. Even though, within the bird species, ducks and chickens are 
affected, all other birds are not. 

And, if a virus mutates, then the kinds and number of hosts it affects changes.

So it is impossible to create a virus that is capable of affecting everything.

And that was the main problem--trying to adapt the T-Virus so that it would 
affect "everything" that it came into contact with.

After Birkin became "useless", I started investigating the T-Virus's 
communicative infection rate.

It was then that I found out that, it was a fact that the T-Virus could infect 
almost any kind of living thing.

Not just animals, but plants, insects, fish--almost any species. The virus had 
the power to expand and disperse all over the earth.

Whenever I would leave the center for a walk in the woods I would always think 
to myself...

Why did Spencer choose this place?

Because there were lots of different types of species concentrated in the 
woods.

If the virus ever did get out here, then what would happen to a place where 
there were this many types of living things present?

In the case of insects, they are small so you might not think of them as 
"dangerous" even if they are secondary carriers of the virus.

However, insects usually exist in "swarms" and that huge number makes them a 
very dangerous "carrier", indeed.

If they were carriers then how far would the virus spread?

If a plant was a carrier then, since they can't move, you wouldn't expect them 
to be able to infect many people.

However, what about the "pollen" that comes from plants?

Considering those factors, the center was an extremely dangerous place to run 
"virus research".

And if you really think about it, the location of the Ashford's Antarctica 
Research Center was really a much safer and obvious choice.

It would almost seem as if this place was specifically chosen, as a location, 
for the purpose of "spreading" the virus.

But, I just can't imagine that would really be so.

What is Spencer trying to get us to do?

This was a major issue. So big that I couldn't tell the other researchers.

At this time the only person that I felt I could have talked with about this 
was Birkin, but it was evident that telling him would be meaningless.

I needed more information.

It was at that time that I first began to feel the limitations of my position 
as researcher.

I needed to get myself to a position that had more access to information that 
would reveal Spencer's true objective.

I felt no love lost for throwing away my position as researcher in order to 
find out. 

But I couldn't rush things. Because if Spencer ever got wind to what I was 
doing then it would be all over.

I jumped back into my research and it was "business as usual" so as not to 
call attention to my plans. 

During those times, the female test subject that continued to survive was left 
in some corner and forgotten. 

A living "could've been".

We began to call her that, sometime after she stopped yielding useful data for 
us.

At least, until 5 years later that is...

Nemesis

July 1st, 1988 [My birthday! Woo hoo!]
The summer of our 11th year at Arklay was just starting. 

I was already 28.

Birkin had become a father and already had a 2 year-old daughter.
[Sherry Birkin]
His wife was one of the researchers that worked at Arklay.

You would normally think it [would be] hard to understand someone wanting to 
get married and raise a child, all while doing their research.

But, it is said that only "non-ordinary" people ever continued to do research 
at Arklay.

Only the crazy ones ever succeeded there. 

And so, after 10 long years, our research finally reached the 3rd stage.

To create a living biological weapon that was a soldier that would follow 
strict orders, obey its program, and have intelligence.

It was the so-called "Tyrant", basically a monster, that we set out to create. 

However, there was a major obstruction to our research back then. Finding a 
basic body for "Tyrant".

The biggest problem was that suitable bodies for Tyrant were, at that time, 
genetically very limited.

The source of the problem lay in the nature of the T-Virus.

The T-Virus mutation used to create "zombies" and "hunters" could be used on 
just about any human but it would also cause a decline in the subject[']s 
brain capacity.

If the subject didn't have a certain amount of "intelligence" then it couldn't 
function as a Tyrant.

Birkin tried to solving the problem by picking out new mutagens that would 
keep down the "wear and tear on the subject's brain" so long as the subject 
fit the "Tyrant Profile".

However the number of people that had "suitable" genetics to accept the tyrant 
cells were very limited.

In a genetic analysis simulation it was found that only 1 in a million had the 
genetic make-up to become a "Tyrant", any other person would merely become a 
regular zombie. 

If we would have continued with our research then I'm sure we would have found 
a way to make a different type of T-Virus that could change more people into 
"Tyrants".

However, in order to do that research, we first needed people that were 
perfectly suitable for the new mutation.

However, the odds of us being able to bring one of those few people, living in 
America, that fit the profile was extremely low.

In the end, the only thing they were able to do was to, by force, bring a few 
"close contenders" in from other labs[.]

Even before we had the chance to start our research, it seemed we had already 
hit an obstacle.

At that time I heard a rumor about another location in Europe where they had 
already reached the "third level" of producing a biological weapon using a 
method that no one had thought of.

It was known as the "Nemesis Plan".

In order to change the stagnant working pace and conditions, I took it upon 
myself to get a sample of one of the subjects from that "plan".

Of course Birkin first disagreed with me, but in the end I was able to get him 
to reconsider. 

Everyone had no choice but to recognize the fact that, until we found a 
suitable "Tyrant" subject, our research wasn't going anywhere.

The "package" from Europe came at midnight, several days later, after a series 
of broadcasts, proposals, and counter-proposals.

The box that contained "it" landed on the helicopter pad.

It reads "Nemesis Prototype".

I had to use some very strong tactics to get the incomplete "thing" where it 
was being researched in France, but all the while, Spencer was backing me up, 
pulling all of his strings and using his influence.

Only Birkin showed no interest in "it" until the end. But he, at least, 
recognized it as an important part of the experiment. 

The sample was developed to create a never before seen, totally new "form".

By manipulating genes, they had artificially created a "living parasite".

That was what "Nemesis" really was.

It could latch onto another organism's brain and then take control of the 
host's brain[,] bringing it a high-level of destructive power.

By combining intelligence with a destructive body suitable for battle, they 
were able to form the ultimate biological weapon.

And if they could complete the project then they would be capable of creating 
"warlike bodies" without having to worry about the intelligence issue.

However, the problem was that the parasite containing "it" was not stable.

The only thing written within the document that was attached to the sample was 
"Failure--sample died" over and over again.

Anything that had been affected and whose intelligence was being controlled 
would die within 5 minutes.

We all understood that messing around with the "incomplete" prototype was very 
dangerous.

If we could only somehow manage to extend the amount of time that the hosts 
would live then we could take control over the project. That was what I was 
aiming for.

Of course we would use "her" as our test subject. [Lisa Trevor]

Surely her unusually high endurance would be perfect for sustaining the 
Nemesis Prototype parasite for a long time. 

Even if she didn't last long, it's not as if we would be losing anything 
special anyways.

However the experiment yielded a result that was opposite from what I was 
predicting.

The Nemesis parasite that tried to enter her brain disappeared.

At first, I didn't even know what was going on.

I couldn't believe that "she" would be the one to mix with the parasite genes 
without dying.

That was the beginning.

Somewhere within that "undying" body of hers, there had been a change...

We had to re-examine her from head to toe one more time.

During our 10 years of research she had been totally and thoroughly examined 
but this time we ignored that previous data.

For the 21 years that she had been here, for the first time, something was 
actually happening.

After she had already survived longer than other subjects who had received the 
Nemesis Virus, it was only Birkin that started to realize what was happening. 

There was something within "her".

That "something" was a deviation from the T-Virus plan.

Something new that gave way to a new form.

Something that changed our destiny.
It was the beginning of the "G-Virus plan".

(This report continues 7 years later)



G-Virus

July 31, 1995
It had been 17 years since I'd been back "there".

When I come, I remember the wind. The scenery and buildings from the 
surrounding area hadn't changed a bit.

I saw Birkin standing on the Heli-pad. He arrived before I did.

Meeting with him somehow already seemed "nostalgic".

It had been 4 years since I had left the Arklay Research Center.

4 years ago, when Birkin's proposed "G-Virus" plan was approved, I put in a 
transfer request for the "data/information" section and my request was 
immediately approved.

The fact that I had given up on being a researcher and need a change probably 
seemed like a natural change that most people go through. 

Actually, the truth of the matter was that "G" had already reached a level 
that was beyond my ability.

And even if I wasn't really here to discover Spencer's "true intentions", I 
think that, at that time, I would have definitely realized the limitations of 
my ability.

As the wind danced around the helicopter, Birkin was, as usual, fixated on 
some document.

Apparently, he was coming to Arklay on a routine basis, but he was no longer 
assigned there.

A while ago, he had been transferred to a huge underground research facility 
in Raccoon City. That was the main facility for his "G-Virus" research.

But to tell the truth, 4 years ago, I really didn't think Spencer would 
approve "G".

Because "it" deviated from the idea of "weapon" and it was created with too 
many unknowns left unsolved. 

The big difference between "G" and the "T-Virus" was that a body infected with 
"G" would spontaneously continue to mutate.

Of course a virus's genes are unprotected so it quickly mutates.

But the cells within a living organism are different.

Even if the subject[']s make-up has been altered by the virus, the cells 
within the organism's body rarely can be mutated.

Of course, by using other "stimuli", such as radiation, you can make mutations 
occur within a living body.

However, a body that is infected with "G" continues to mutate, without any 
outer stimuli, until the host dies.

Even that "T-Virus" has lots of attributes that are quite similar to "G".

It has already been observed that the genetic make-up of one of the "living 
biological weapons" (a person infected with the T-Virus), who has been placed 
in a special setting, has continuously "changed".

But in order for this change to occur it is necessary to use outer stimuli as 
a catalyst. And one can mildly predict which changes are likely to occur.

However, there are no such "laws" concerning a body infected with "G".

No one can predict just how someone infected with "G" will change. No matter 
what kind of method you use to try to cope with "G", it continually changes, 
making that "method" ineffective.

7 years ago Birkin noticed a little bit of this effect in the female test 
subject.

There wasn't the slightest change in her appearance, but deep within her 
something was constantly changing and she continued to co-exist with the virus 
used in the experiments.

And so after 21 years of inner mutations, even the "parasite Nemesis" just 
became one more mutation within her body.

The "G-Virus Plan" was a plan to push those "characteristics" to the utmost 
limit.

However, the thing that lay ahead could be an evolution to the "final form" 
for mankind... or it could be a "finale" in which the organism merely dies...

Could we really call that a weapon?

What was Spencer thinking when he approved this plan?

Even though I had been working in the information section for these 4 long 
years, I had still been unable to figure out what Spencer was planning.

And now Spencer has stopped coming to Arklay.

Almost as if something that he has been eagerly awaiting and expecting has 
begun to start.

Spencer, like some mirage floating in the desert, had begun to grow farther 
and farther away from me.

But I was sure that a chance would present itself to me eventually.

That was, of course, if I lived long enough to see that day.

Birkin and I got on the elevator and rode to the top floor.

To the place where we had first met "her".

A man named John, Birking's successor and new chief researcher, was waiting 
there for us.

He came from a research center in Chicago and was supposedly a very talented 
scientist but he was a little too "straight" to be working at a place like 
this.

He began to question the "inhumanity" of what was going on in the labs and 
made his opinions known to the upper-level executives.

I had heard rumors about him at the information section.

Everyone seemed to agree that if any information ever leaked out, he probably 
would have been the culprit.

We ignored John and kept on walking, and then began the final "disposal" 
procedures on her.

"You must kill her".

Due to her being infected with "Nemesis", although only a minor account, she 
started to "think" and become conscious. She started to act in "grotesque" 
ways. 

Her behavior has continued to escalate and now she wears the face of another 
woman that she "peeled off" just like a mask.

According to reports, she acted the same way after they gave her the first 
"Starter Virus".

I don't know why she began to act in such a way, but because she recently 
killed 3 researchers, "they" have decided to "dispose" of her.

Now that the "G" research is on the right track, there is no real use for a 
"test subject" like her.

After constantly checking and re-confirming for 3 days the fact that she was 
dead, her corpse was, as per Facility Head's order, taken away somewhere.

In the end, I never did find out who she was and why she was brought here?

Of course, she was merely a test subject.

But still though, if she hadn't been here then there wouldn't have been any 
"G Plan". And Birkin and I would probably be leading different lives now.

I left the Arklay Research Center, thinking that very thing.

I wounder how much of this was according to Spencer's "plan".
(3 years later the "incident" began)

=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

[NOTE: This entire section of the FAQ was written completely by WeskerFanGirl.]

July 23, 1998
    After several murders in the Raccoon City area, S.T.A.R.S. are sent to 
investigate the area.  The Bravo team is sent in first. Their helicopter has to
make an emergency landing.  Rebecca Chambers, who is on her first mission, gets
on a train sitting in the middle of the woods.  There, she meets Billy Coen.
Billy Coen was supposed to be executed for killing 23 people, but the transport
vehicle was attacked by leeches.
 
     They are stuck on the train with several zombies and leeches, so after the
train starts moving, they team up.  They eventually have to use the emergency 
brakes, and end up at the old Umbrella Training Facility. Wesker and Birkin 
watch Rebecca and Billy through some monitors.  Marcus interrupts them as he 
tells them he was responsible for the virus leak in the lab, mansion, and 
train.  He says it's revenge for the death of James Marcus, although they don't
know it's him, because he looks younger.
     Billy saves Rebecca's life a few times at the training facility, and he 
tells her about an incident in Africa that explains the 23 people. They find 
Marcus' Diary, which says he created the t-virus. They also visit Marcus' lab 
under a church outside the training facility.  Billy and Rebecca get separated 
for a short time, after Billy is attacked by an eliminator.  Rebecca gets in a 
cable car and ends up at a factory.  She uses the turn table and meets up 
with Enrico, the Bravo team leader.  He tries to get her to come with him, but 
she says she has to find Billy.  After fighting a Tyrant and getting in an 
elevator she arrives at the sewer treatment plant.  She finds Billy, and they 
try to look for a way out of the treatment plant.
     James Marcus confronts them, and he tells them who he is.  He tells them 
he was resurrected by the Queen Leech.  The queen takes over and he morphs 
into the boss.  They defeat him, and get onto a lift, but the Queen Leech 
follows them and the self destruct sequence starts.  They end up getting 
knocked off the lift, and fighting the leech queen in a large room with several
large boxes and shutters.  They open the windows when they find out that the 
queen is weakened by sunlight.  Billy kills the leech queen with a Magnum that 
Rebecca finds lying on the floor.  They make it out in time.  They end up in a 
field overlooking the Spencer mansion.  Rebecca tells Billy he is now 
officially dead, and they go their separate ways.  Rebecca heads to the mansion
and Billy goes off on his own.

July 24, 1998 (Note: I wrote a combination of Chris' and Jill's senerio)
    S.T.A.R.S Alpha team is sent in to search for the missing Bravo team. 
Joseph is attacked by zombie dogs, and the rest of the team runs, while the 
helicopter pilot, Brad Vickers, leaves them stranded.  Wesker, Barry, Chris, 
and Jill all run to the mansion.  The characters all get separated.  Wesker 
disappears and forces Barry to help him destroy S.T.A.R.S. by threatening his 
family.  Wesker's goal is to get combat data and then destroy the lab and the 
mansion.  Chris meets Rebecca Chambers, who is with Richard Aiken from Bravo 
team.  Richard Aiken eventually dies. Enrico is also killed, along with all the
other Bravo team members, besides Rebecca.
   In the labs, Wesker tries to shoot Jill, but Barry saves her just in time. 
Wesker releases the Tyrant, who turns on him.  After Jill defeats the Tyrant, 
Wesker escapes.  Wesker sets the self destruct system, and all four go to the 
heliport to signal Brad.  Before he can land, the Tyrant breaks through the 
concrete and attacks again.  Brad drops a rocket launcher, and the Tyrant is 
destroyed.  Chris, Rebecca, Jill, and Barry fly away as the mansion blows up. 
    
September 28, 1998
   After there was a major outbreak in Raccoon city, Jill Valentine tries to 
escape the city.  Brad warns her that something is coming for them, and he is 
killed outside of the RPD, by a B.O.W. called Nemesis.  Nemesis chases Jill out
of the RPD, and she eventually loses him.  She meets a mercenary who was hired 
by Umbrella named Carlos.  She doesn't trust him at first, but later learns 
to work together with him.  She meets the rest of the remaining Umbrella 
Biohazard Countermeasure Services (U.B.C.S.) team, Nicholai and Mikail. 
Nicholai tells them the plan for getting out of the city involving ringing the 
bell at the city Clock Tower.  Nicholai later fakes his death, and Jill tells 
Carlos.  After getting all the needed materials, they start the cable car.  
Mikail sacrifices his life to save Jill and Carlos, when Nemesis attacks.  Then
Jill and Carlos have to use the emergency brakes, and the cable car crashes.
