THE BIOHAZARD CASE INVESTIGATION FILES
Investigation files on the biological disaster in Raccoon City, July 1998
FILE 1: NOTES ON CONFIDENTIAL FILES
An officer training manual used in S.T.A.R.S. which is key to this case. Filed as indirect evidence.
FILE 2: UMBRELLA HQ CONFISCATED DOCUMENTS
Notes on biological weapons development seized from Umbrella. The investigation committee has reconstructed them as investigation material.
FILE 3: RACCOON INCIDENT PROGRESS REPORT
Valuable testimonies from survivors of the case. Based on reports submitted to the Raccoon Police Department.
The Biohazard Incident - Committee To Investigate the Bio Hazard Case (Page 012)
Upon Reading Investigation Files
These investigation files describe details of the virus outbreak accidental biohazard (referred to below as the Biohazard Case) in the Umbrella Corporation's BC (Bio-Chemical) weapons research and development facility, which occurred this July in Raccoon City. As compared with the investigation reports (*editor's note) which merely touched the surface of the incident based on private sector reports submitted in the past, these documents serve as profound details which get more to the core of the incident. Mentioned below are the contents of the three files that constitute these documents. I would like you to refer to them when you read each file.
In addition, it is a precautionary measure but naturally, these documents are confidential. Reading, copying or reproducing these documents without the consent of the authorities has been declared punishable under federal law.

FILE 1: S.T.A.R.S. INTERNAL DOCUMENTS (p.013)
This file is a textbook prepared for the S.T.A.R.S. officers just before the Biohazard Case in Raccoon City. At a glance it looks like an ordinary manual but based on the fact it describes hostiles presumed to possess higher-than-human capabilities, it's considered indirect evidence of the encounters between the S.T.A.R.S. officers and Bio Organic Weapons having been set up. In addition, the preface by S.T.A.R.S. Captain Albert Wesker is introduced below.
(First part omitted) ...I was delivered this manual concerning various skills you should master as my S.T.A.R.S. officers. However, these are the bare minimum essentials and you should be informed of further skill acquisition to be performed through actual combat.
It should be noted here that S.T.A.R.S. is only one end of a police force and not military. Therefore, skills in investigation and first aid for the injured are requested more from the officers over combative skills such as hand-to-hand and marksmanship. In other words, priority is mostly given to civic relief and preventing criminal offenses rather than actively eliminating offenders or terrorists.
In the chapters that follow, as I first stated, they will explain the various skills you require as officers, but I want you to be acutely aware that techniques which avoid or prevent combat are more vital than combat techniques, and I ask that you make use of them for carrying out your noble duty to protect the safety of our citizens.

S.T.A.R.S. Organizational Outline (p.014-015)
WHAT IS S.T.A.R.S...
A special mission unit belonging to the Raccoon City Police aimed at tactics and rescue for peculiar crimes. In 1996, this S.T.A.R.S. was established by the Raccoon Police Department. At first, it was purely experimental for dealing with special crimes in order to respond to the diversifying needs of high-grade crimes, such as cyber crime, that use vast networks of troops, new kinds of narcotics as well as new methods in terrorist attacks utilizing BC (Bio-Chemical) weapons. At the time of this establishment however, several major local private companies, including the Umbrella Corporation which has a huge factory group in Raccoon City, contributed to funding S.T.A.R.S. as part of the "Bright Raccoon 21" major city project, leading to the establishment of an elite group with ace staff, advanced equipment and an extensive intelligence network.
The commander makes tactical operational decisions in the field and is the cell's brain. The Captain and Vice-Captain are responsible for undertaking this duty within S.T.A.R.S.
PM (Point Man)
Location scouts on the front-line during missions. Reconnaissance and securing positions ahead of time are their duties. The most resourceful officer often falls in this category.
BUM (Backup Man)
Forms a duo with PM for the main duty of covering the forward guard and taking action in a two-man cell. The position requires a high level of precision, same as PM.
OM (Omni Man)
Transporting various types of equipment and mobilizing heavy weapons are their duties. Strategic maneuvers separate from the forward guard are required.
RS (Rear Security)
Rear guard such as guarding HQ and the helicopter are their duties, as well as sniper, depending on the mission. Two officers have this position within S.T.A.R.S.

S.T.A.R.S. SURVIVAL MANUAL (p.18-31)
As S.T.A.R.S. officers constantly operate in close proximity to danger, such as bomb disposal, counter-terrorism and violent crimes, each officer requires a wide variety of special skills such as combat, weapons, and rescue. Being versed in various techniques will enable you to respond appropriately in the unlikely event of an unanticipated situation. Due to the nature of the unit, combat ops are common to S.T.A.R.S., so this manual will provide examples of how to move, investigate, engage, as well as interact with buildings harboring hostiles. As with any situation, the key is to stay calm and act rationally. A lack of composure under extreme conditions not only hinders the execution of the operation, but can also jeopardize the lives of yourself and your fellow officers. Be advised not to act recklessly. Always bear that in mind when working on your mission.
CONCERNING MOVEMENT
The most important thing in indoor ops is to have a complete picture of the building. Obtaining a map of op's target building in advance is advisable, and often impossible to do so. In those cases, upon entering the building immediately investigate the interior and the layout of rooms, as well as examine items that seem usable. However, what dangers lurk indoors are unknown. Careless steps can be fatal. Sometimes you must be bold, but in any case, you should move with action.

S.T.A.R.S. WEAPON GUIDE (p.034-039)
BERETTA M92FS
An Italian 9mmX19 caliber large military pistol manufactured by Beretta. Due to its tough structure based on MIL specifications, its ease of handling and rapid-fire ability along with an excellent double action trigger, it has become the standard adopted gun in S.T.A.R.S. and many police, as well as the U.S. Army. Since voices within S.T.A.R.S. felt the 9mmX19 caliber was inadequate in this incident, they're due to perform a re-trial for the standard handgun.
COLT PYTHON
A large double action 357 magnum caliber revolver. A cooling mouth known as a ventilated rib is opened up on the barrel to improve hit-rate. It's popular among gun nuts for its good looks and high level of performance, capable of tolerating the use of powerful magnum bullets. It's not a S.T.A.R.S. standard adopted gun, but Barry carries this gun in the game as his personal possession. A high power handgun maniac, he often uses an M29 or 3inch 44 magnum.
M9 BAYONET
A bayonet attached to the officially adopted M16A2 assault rifle of S.T.A.R.S. A large and strong combat knife also utilized by the U.S. Army, which can also be used as a wire cutter in tandem with a sheath.
Although the knife isn't used much in S.T.A.R.S. and isn't very vital equipment, training's conducted often. The M9's mainly used in survival situations or in jungles and dense forests whenever firearms can't be used.
REMINGTON M870
A gun so famous it could be called synonymous with shotguns, made by the American Remington corporation. It has numerous variations and is used in public institutions such as the police, coming to be familiar among civilians as a weapon for hunting and self-defense. The Remington employed in the mansion was a forehand grip type with a wooden stock kept for the purpose of the researcher's self-defense.
GRENADE LAUNCHER
The Grenade Launcher wasn't officially adopted within S.T.A.R.S. where the use of weapons with more power than necessary isn't consented to, but was used in lectures for combat. Concerning the grenade gun in the game, it's a proto-model of a new product of the Saco Defense Corporation, a major military manufacturer, and was supplied out of nowhere by firearms specialist Joseph. There are three in the unit and the models slightly differ. Forest carried one in this investigation.
FLAMETHROWER
This flamethrower was manufactured by Umbrella Industries and originally developed for experiment facilities. Since fire has the greatest impact on living things, it was prepared in case of emergencies such as the escape of laboratory animals.
A fuel specially made by Umbrella Industries combining various scientific substances.
ROCKET LAUNCHER
A four port rocket launcher. It was confiscated during a transaction between organized crime organizations, the country that manufactured it wasn't clear and the shady thing slept in the storage warehouse of the Raccoon Police Department. It's believed to be an Asian product since the attached instructions are in kanji. Barry took it in this investigation and loaded it onto the helicopter. Only Brad knew and it seemed to be a secret to Wesker and the other officers.

The BIO HAZARD Incident - S.T.A.R.S. Internal Document (p.040)
The details and actual contents of the battles in the above-mentioned documents are surprising, and were passed on to many branches (like professional, as it were, military affairs organizations). There's no end to the question of why such a full-scale manual was necessary for S.T.A.R.S., which should only be an annexed organization of the Raccoon City police. When I think in retrospect, S.T.A.R.S. was probably made to systematically deviate from the general police, so could there not have been an intention to turn them into soldiers of the Umbrella Corporation?
Now, for S.T.A.R.S. after the incident, since more than half its officers perished in the line of duty, including the Captain and Vice-Captain, it has become substantially impossible to perform its functions. In future, personnel recruitment etc will be carried out and it has yet to be determined whether the organization will be retained in its current form or whether the Raccoon City police will absorb the organization, but in either case, substantial organizational restructuring will be performed so as to not tread the same rut.

FILE2: Umbrella Corporation Bio Organic Weapon Research Memo (p.041)
For many years, our company Umbrella has continued research and development of Bio Organic Weapons (B.O.W.) that meet the needs of our customers, and this time, we have finally succeeded in the commercial manufacture of the t series, a crystallization of the latest biotechnology. This series uses the newly developed t-Virus which makes it possible for almost all existing living things to be used as B.O.W. bases. As a result, phenomenally low cost and high versatility have been realized, and some problems such as the conventional task of difficulty of control...... (The rest's omitted)
Quoted above is a draft of a B.O.W. release document seized from Umbrella Pharmaceuticals after the biohazard incident in Raccoon City. We believe it was probably set for military authorities or various large companies as customers, but in the end, the curtain closed on the development and trading plan for these B.O.W.'s in the form of the horrifying biohazard.
Now, in connection with the criminal investigation of this Umbrella Headquarters, confidential materials related to various incidents besides this were discovered. The research memos shown below on the following page are also some of the seized documents that were prepared by multiple researchers of the B.O.W. development team. Intrinsically, they appear to be summarized memos in the release addressed to customers quoted earlier, made by the Public Relations Department and avoiding detailed and intricate descriptions not necessary for customers, hence some parts lacking accuracy can be observed. However, since these concerned documents work out the abnormalities of this affair, they're essential as priceless evidence in prosecuting the devilish work of the Umbrella Corporation, and concerned parties have greeted them with approval.

Notes Regarding Inspected Research Memos Seized From Umbrella Pharmaceuticals (p.042-043)
August, 1998
The incident that occurred in Raccoon City was a result of the release of biological weapons and a bioweapon-grade pathogen that were being covertly developed by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, turning workers at the research facility as well as civilians near the facility into casualties. This incident has already been resolved thanks to the intervention of S.T.A.R.S.
In this bioweapon outbreak incident, which occurred over a period of several months following the spring of 1998, Umbrella concealed the incident from the beginning and except for a handful of workers, no Umbrella employees knew about the incident. Furthermore, instead of attempting to better understand the incident, the company forced researchers to report data about the incident from time to time in order to advance the development of further bioweapons. The bioweapon-related research memos shown on the next page have information that was reported to Umbrella Headquarters over a period of several months from the time of the start of the incident until S.T.A.R.S. intervened, and were ultimately gathered by this committee. These memos contain information regarding bioweapon characteristics and their usefulness as weapons. Most memos are displayed in their original form. Furthermore, in order to be prepared for any similar incidents in the future, information on how to deal with bioweapons disposal is provided, with the cooperation of S.T.A.R.S.
Some of the information in these memos points to bioweapons that weren't intentionally developed, but instead created by chance as the result of accidents, etc. We can see how the company completely disregarded normal morals as it forced employees to gather information and labor to commercialize bioweapons, despite the fact they were subjected to great risk.

The Clay Virus takes up residence in a host's cells just like a regular virus, then self-propagates using the synthesis properties and energy of proteins. In other words, the protein and nucleic acid synthesis programs of cells infected with the Clay Virus are rewritten based on the virus' nucleus, resulting in growing numbers of new Clay Virus nuclei. The Clay Virus' most significant attribute is in how the infected cells themselves are subjected to mutational evolution.
Following infection, the Clay Virus spreads throughout the victim's body while affecting their systems, starting with internal secretory systems before spreading to nearly all organs comprising the body, such as the skin, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive and skeletal systems. One major transformation is an unusual increase in growth hormone with a tendency for the body to increase in size. The effect of the virus on the muscular system - to multiply the strength of the host organism - is particularly surprising. For the nervous system, the virus dulls sensations of pain and fear, while at the same time significantly increasing aggression. These are important elements that make a B.O.W. a weapon.
On the other hand, metabolism is slowed down significantly with some B.O.W. species undergoing tissue decay, making them not particularly pleasant to look at.
In addition, the Clay Virus fundamentally functions as an intermediary for genetic combination between different species that would normally be unstable, appearing to make it relatively easy for complex genetic manipulation to be performed in conjunction with the Clay Virus.
August, 1998
The incident that occurred in Raccoon City was a result of the release of biological weapons and a bioweapon-grade pathogen that were being covertly developed by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, turning workers at the research facility as well as civilians near the facility into casualties. This incident has already been resolved thanks to the intervention of S.T.A.R.S.

BIO ORGANIC WEAPONS LIST
ZOMBIE (p.044)
The Clay Virus ε-strain variant that leaked due to an accident in the Raccoon facility also infected the staff. These Zombies were caused as a result. Hearing Zombie, it might give the impression of a group of dead from hell brought back from the grave, but they are not precisely dead. For humans afflicted with the Clay Virus ε-variant strain, the cerebral neocortex necrotizes, something of a brain dead state, their behavior limited to nothing but simple-minded survival activity, acting in accordance with their instincts. As a result they are driven by a sense of starvation, pathetic beings that merely roam in search of food. Moreover, although an unusual secretion of growth hormone causes the body to grow in size, outward appearance becomes that of a decomposed corpse itself due to a remarkable decline in metabolic functions.
Some of their habits prior to infection apparently remain as they prowl focusing on areas they had a connection to. They also appear to be capable of performing simple actions such as opening and closing doors.
If infected with the ε-variant strain, the neocortex portion of the cerebrum which controls higher order functions such as memory and language will necrotize. Based on the found diary of a researcher afflicted with the Clay Virus, we can grasp that cerebral necrosis progresses gradually. The diary records a state in which memory and human thought were lost each day.
ZOMBIE as a Weapon
Although humans who lose the sense of fear and become insensitive to pain due to the Clay Virus are ideal, the biggest problem's that nobody's able to control them as expected. A Zombie attacks by approaching an opponent, then holding them down and biting them to the extent they vomit gastric juice. Like other B.O.W.'s, a Zombie's value as a weapon's practically nought, as they don't have the intelligence to follow commands.
Interestingly, they preferably attack humans. Whether it's an effect of the Clay Virus or an inherent hidden dark side of humans themselves, Zombies always exhibit a dark, deep obsession for raw human flesh. According to reports, horrifying situations of Zombies attacking Zombies seem to occur.

CERBERUS (p.045)
A B.O.W. created by rewriting the DNA of a dog using the Clay Virus βI-strain. Outwardly it is not so distinct from somewhat large dogs, but the virus dramatically augmented its muscular strength and combative instinct. Since it also lacks any sense of fear, its tolerance towards pain and gunshots is higher than regular military dogs, so it attacks ferociously until it kills its opponent.
This Cerberus is even capable of tactical-like applications by applying the dog's inherent social nature, putting it in the most successful rankings among test subjects using animals as hosts. Although clone production as MA-39 was performed for the type using the Doberman pinscher as the host, a highly capable military dog by nature, variations using other dog breeds were also planned with deployment of the Cerberus series together in various intended applications being considered. A test on group practical use was conducted in the facility courtyard, but they escaped from the facility after the accident and became wild in the surrounding forest.
They mainly hang around the courtyard of the Raccoon facility and the mansion facing the courtyard. It's they that let out strange howls.
Cooperative attack by several Cerberus'.
An example of a cooperative attack. One pounces at the target and while it's already being attacked, the other rushes from the ground while it's disturbed.
Experimentally administering the Clay Virus to various dog breeds was planned. This is a conceptual drawing of a Saint Bernard base.
CERBERUS as a Weapon
The greatest feature of Cerberus is being able to harness coordinated activity with its companions, originally dogs. If Cerberus is trained, it can be made to act on several commands at once. Its weapons are its speed and sharp nails and teeth. After running around the target and disrupting them, they pounce, imposing their entire body weight. Then they push down the weakened opponent and eat away at their throat. When more than one Cerberus deal with a single target, they cooperate and commence by assaulting it in waves, attacking it in sequence without providing any intervals for it to rest.

SECONDARY INFECTED CREATURES (p.046)
Secondary infected creatures. Each of these creatures preyed on the dead flesh of Zombies and Cerberus afflicted with the Clay Virus which began leaking in an accident, then malformed under the influence of the still active virus. As is often the case with creatures controlled by the Clay Virus, their personality becomes violent and their bodies become large. Although it's rare for them to actively attack, they pounce on men without any fear if their territory's intruded upon or they're attacked. Of course, although all were creatures lacking in practicality as a B.O.W., they're reported here as samples of the Clay Virus' effects.

CROW
While the omnivorous jungle crows inhabiting the Raccoon outskirts pecked meat such as that of Zombies, they were secondarily infected with the Clay Virus. Although there's almost no apparent change, the crows go mad and attack without fear of gunshots. Once noise is made, it cooperates with others and attacks from above with its strong, thick beak.

WASP (p.047)
Bees which fed on Plant 42's pollen were affected by the Clay Virus. They boundlessly grew larger due to the abnormal secretion of growth hormone, usually ending up possessing bodies ten times their original size. Toxicity also increased with enlargement. They pounce mercilessly on foreign invaders approaching their hive.

ADDER (p.047)
Adders which inhabited the forest area of Raccoon preyed on creatures carrying the Clay Virus and were secondarily infected. Although there's barely any observable change in appearance, the hemorrhagic venom it originally carried became intensified. They live in tree tops and underground passages and attack prey by sensing body temperature.

WEBSPINNER AND OTHERS (p.048-49)
Since gene manipulation can be easily performed on organisms with primitive body structures, research using spiders and insects was actively conducted for a time. This Web Spinner is one such B.O.W. developed in this early stage. Growth-related DNA was rewritten causing the spider to grow exponentially, but it lacked any promising practicality as a weapon so the research was terminated. However, the Clay Virus prototype which is inseparable from the success of later B.O.W.'s was discovered from these test subjects.
The Web Spinners were disposed of with several subjects kept for data purposes, but one subject managed to escape and survived in the basement, continuing to grow. Furthermore, this Web Spinner grew even larger and started attacking humans, making it feared among the researchers who nicknamed it Black Tiger.
Baby Spiders are the offspring of Web Spinners which have egg sacs inside the womb and grow to some extent in the belly, but crawl out as soon as the parent dies.
It hangs on ceilings waiting patiently for food. If prey passes by, it will suddenly pounce from above.
It's huge but the spider's original characteristics haven't changed. After the accident, it's believed to have mainly preyed on wild animals in the forest area.
WEB SPINNER as a Weapon
Although it has become large and aggressive, its behavioral pattern's that of a spider. External control's ineffective. Since it has a characteristic to supplement its diet using prey that happens to pass by in its territory, if it were to be used as a B.O.W., a method of releasing it into the field of operation and letting it attack as dictated by its instinct could be considered. Its repulsive appearance would also have the effect of causing opponents to panic. It has a strong and toxic digestive fluid, and after vomiting it and weakening prey, it presses down using its forelimbs and eats. It may directly strike it with the large nails on its legs. According to the name Web Spinner, it possesses a spinning gland to make thread, but it fundamentally can't spread nests. According to the only report, the Black Tiger spread a considerably large-scale nest in a room of the Raccoon facility's underground passage.

YAWN (p.050)
It was originally a creature created for experiment purposes genetically engineered from a species of reptile (perhaps a large scaled reptile), but escaped and later became huge and berserk under the influence of the Clay Virus ε-strain variant which leaked in an accident. Although it looks like a large snake itself, remnants of the gene manipulation are scrupulously visible on several parts of its body, so it could possibly be referred to as a creature possessing both reptilian and amphibious traits. It is violent and aggressive, as is typical with other Clay Virus infected creatures. It turned the Raccoon facility's mansion into its stronghold and, apparently, some of the researchers who survived after the accident fell victim to it.
It has a large body a little less than forty feet and can swallow a human in a single gulp. Its moves swiftly for its large size and seems like it could've become a powerful B.O.W. if put to practical use. Incidentally, Yawn's a nickname given to this creature by the researchers and originates from its wide open mouth which fully looks like it yawns.

NEPTUNE (p.051)
An early B.O.W. developed using the Clay Virus α-strain on Great White sharks. With the results of the experiment however, the Clay Virus was discovered to not be immediately effective with regards to ancient forms of organisms such as sharks, consequently proving no substantial enhancement could be anticipated either, so the test subjects were discarded midway and disposed of, save one for observation purposes. Although not particularly successful as a B.O.W., it should be specially noted that a second generation was born from this Neptune. Sharks are ovoviviparous creatures. Perhaps the test subject conceived prior to being infected with the virus. Having been transformed due to the Clay Virus, the mother shark gave birth to dozens of offspring, but all juveniles died as they were unable to withstand the drastic changes in their bodies, with only two remaining. However, changes due to the Clay Virus similar to the mother were confirmed in the remaining two. They provided valuable data on the Clay Virus' influence on fetuses through the mother's body. Although B.O.W. production is dependent on cloning, there is a possibility bioweapons capable of self-reproducing could be created in the future.

PLANT 42 (p.052)
The Clay Virus ε-strain has also demonstrated its effects on not only animals, but plants as well. When Umbrella Corp. researcher Henry Sarton injected the Clay Virus ε-strain into a foliage plant in a room in the dormitory out of curiosity, he discovered it had powerful influence on this kind of plant. Sarton named this test subject Plant 42 and continued observation, but when a few days passed it grew unimaginably huge, in the end simply being left unattended. Afterwards Plant 42 continued growing rapidly without limit and became a monster that actively moved like an animal, attacking humans with long ivies. Escaping somewhere its attacks can't reach is ideal. Caution's required when confronting it, attacks with live rounds such as a Beretta or shotgun don't deal damage and have meager effect on the mysterious plant. Using flame grenade rounds can deal serious damage to Plant 42. Moreover, allowing its roots to inhale interphyletic weed killer is also an effective attack. According to Sarton's research, Plant 42 could be especially weak to the scientific chemical V-JOLT of the UMB series, which can cause its functions to cease completely or sharply decrease its vitality.

MONSTER PLANTS (p.052)
Roots are said to have spread all over and around the dormitory of the Raccoon facility, with researchers who passed by frequently being caught and having their blood sucked out. Research material held many interesting but unconfirmed portions such as their unidentified method of recognizing prey, along with the presence or absence of intelligence as a plant-based B.O.W., but unfortunately Plant 42 has been disposed of by S.T.A.R.S.

HUNTER (p.053)
A human-based B.O.W. created out of development of the Clay Virus βII-strain. Following fertilization, a three-week-old embryo was genetically engineered using the Clay Virus and the DNA of other creatures was incorporated, strengthening it. The test subject was adjusted through repeated administration of a growth promoter, becoming a complete organism after a period of approximately one year.
Although it's fundamentally a humanoid creature, muscular power and reflexive speed are equivalent to those of large carnivorous animals due to the Clay Virus' effects. Its body reached a level of perfection as a weapon with thick keratinized skin covering its whole body which is as strong as Kevlar fiber used for bulletproof jackets.
Although its intelligence is on the level of apes such as orangutans, with training it can understand and execute over a dozen commands. In addition, since it cooperated with other Hunters and hunted with brilliant teamwork, it was given the name Hunter. A small number of clones were mass-produced prior to the incident.
HUNTER as a Weapon
The Hunter's weapons are its hard, long claws extended on both hands and feet. Its basic tactic is hand-to-hand combat after rapidly closing in from a target's blind spot. Specifically, it first dashes to approach a target from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters). It abundantly uses varying attack patterns of either closing to a suitable distance from the opponent's chest and tearing it up with its sharp claws, or significantly jumping to attack its opponent's head. When two Hunters cooperate, they specialize in teamwork, as while one makes a great leap behind the target and trifles with the opponent, the other one swiftly closes in, interjects and strikes, causing fatal injuries.

CHIMERA (p.054)
As part of the B.O.W. development project, genetic synthesis between two or more creatures was frequently conducted since the middle of the project. By combining the characteristics of each individual creature, they succeeded in creating other creatures with superior abilities. Normally the combination of creatures in different species groups at the gene level would be unstable, especially the more advanced the organism, but they were supported by the Clay Virus which facilitates abnormal evolution, making acts of God possible. This B.O.W. Chimera is a product of this process, named after the hybrid creature Chimera from Greek mythology possessing the heads of a lion, goat and dragon. It was created through the rather insane method of copying the gene structure of an insect (in this case, a fly) into an artificially fertilized human egg and allowing it to develop inside a human female's womb, then making her give birth to it. The birthed prototype grew rapidly at roughly the same rate as a fly's growth cycle and became an adult after eclosion.
A comparison between the skeleton of a human arm and the skeleton of a Chimera arm.
A newborn Chimera prototype. Since data was destroyed, this is a conceptual drawing.
CHIMERA as a Weapon
The Chimera, in which a fly was fused with a human at the gene level, was brilliant. It was able to to latch onto and move along ceilings with the strength of its sharp nails and powerful limbs. It covertly crawls over its prey's head before making a surprise attack. Its skeleton is warped, giving it destructive power and agility both exceeding the Hunter as a result of large muscles, and the level of its combat ability's considerably high.
However, although several clone subjects were cultured, its intelligence was unfortunately extremely low and practical use as a B.O.W. was shelved. In replicated clone types, the ability to hold onto ceilings and make large leaps was lost, but movement speed on the ground rose.
As a result of the fusion between an endoskeleton human and an exoskeleton insect, the Chimera's skeleton inherits the nature of both half-and-half and is complicatedly intricate.

It covertly crawls over its prey's head before making a surprise attack. Its skeleton is warped, giving it destructive power and agility both exceeding the Hunter as a result of large muscles, and the level of its combat ability's considerably high.
However, although several clone subjects were cultured, its intelligence was unfortunately extremely low and practical use as a B.O.W. was shelved. In replicated clone types, the ability to hold onto ceilings and make large leaps was lost, but movement speed on the ground rose.
As a result of the fusion between an endoskeleton human and an exoskeleton insect, the Chimera's skeleton inherits the nature of both half-and-half and is complicatedly intricate.
TYRANT (p.055)
Although many bioweapon development experiments were conducted in the Raccoon facility, considered top-secret among them was the Tyrant Project, the development of the ultimate B.O.W. utilizing the Clay Virus ε-strain. Since the incident regrettably occurred before the research was completed however, the definitive report on the Tyrant Project wasn't made, leaving only data submitted just before the incident. Although the Clay Virus ε-strain had the revolutionary property of instantly evolving a creature it assimilates into, practicality was initially regarded as questionable since creatures administered with it were unable to endure the dramatic physical changes and often died.
As a solution to break through the dead-end research, a method was devised to use an adult male with physical strength and immune system resistance as the host of the Clay Virus ε-strain. Healthy prisoners were selected as the hosts and body strengthening surgeries were collectively conducted with them. Among the four test subjects, three subjects died, but the surgery on the remaining one succeeded wonderfully and displayed favorable progress.
T-002 possesses several cardiovascular systems. Although it looks quite complicated, arterial blood and venous blood aren't mixed, and its metabolism's also active.
TYRANT as a Weapon
Favorably developed within the adjustment tank, the Tyrant's biggest feature is its several independent cardiovascular systems. It's distinguished by the huge sub-hearts visible on the surface of its body. Since strong cardiopulmonary function was achieved, its mobility and reflexive speed greatly exceed the record numbers of conventional B.O.W.'s, with metabolic decline caused by the virus also suppressed to some extent. In addition, its intelligence is high for an individual using the Clay Virus and includes a power of understanding almost equal to a human. It can carry out various commands more easily than the Hunter. Its main means of attack is stabbing using the claws on its left hand. It destroys targets in melee combat utilizing power and speed.
As a bioweapon possessing both performance and intelligence, the Tyrant was to become the ultimate B.O.W. Afterward, it merely awaited completion while adjustments were repeated, but the project was regrettably interrupted in the accident.

Umbrella B.O.W. Research Memos (p.056)
So far, no noticeable changes have appeared in the financial condition of the Umbrella Corporation, the ringleaders of this incident. It's not because the full extent of the incident has yet to be told to the general press, but the fact only one Umbrella Corp. facility caused the explosion accident is superficial. Naturally, the criminal investigation following the incident was socially responded to as an "accident" and concluded with the result of only having minor influence on the stock market.
In future, even if the situation changes and develops into the arrest of executives, we should refrain from acting too rashly considering the magnitude of Umbrella Corp.'s influence (according to information from a reliable source, they appear to have some support from senators and even presidential aides). In any case, further future criminal investigation is pending.

FILE2: S.T.A.R.S. REPORT
R.P.D. Secret Document THE BIOHAZARD INCIDENT Report
In the early summer of 1998, horrible cases in which entire families were slaughtered by intruders of unknown identity occurred one after another in the Raccoon City suburbs. It appears this series of continued bizarre murder cases have now tentatively calmed down due to the police's announcement they were "committed by stray Dobermans which escaped from an Umbrella Corp. facility." In some civilian reports, it seems that theories of "alien experiments on human bodies" and "immortal killers" are still rampant, but these rumors will no doubt be forgotten soon. If needs be, we're ready to leak to the media about the collusion between congressman K and the criminal drug organization in question, but it seems this measure is unnecessary at this time.
At any rate, only we the top brass of the police and the few surviving S.T.A.R.S. officers who experienced the case directly know the whole picture. Properly speaking, we normally would've immediately requested a criminal investigation from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), but we needed to independently install an incident investigation squad in consideration of this incident's peculiarity and the former connections between the police and Umbrella Corp.
Prepared here are reports by the parties involved with the incident who'll become the core of the investigation. Although the actual reports were conducted via oral statement, they've been summarized with few exceptions. Of course, even if there were pros and cons regarding the reliability of these unbelievable case reports, as indicated on the attached sheet, the reporters' psychiatric examination results were completely normal. Investigation for further truth must await the results of the compulsory investigation of Umbrella Corp., but future correspondence should first be urgently determined based on this report.
*NOTE: Stubbornly, this report only documented the occurrences of the incident and not Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine themselves. Actions not in this record were carried out and they specified Chris and Jill possibly obtained some sort of findings.

CHRIS REDFIELD report vol.1 (p.059)
...That's right. That incident was a nightmare for all involved. The ostensible mastermind's dead, and the investigation of that goddamn pharmaceutical company hasn't made much progress. I can't see the whole picture of the real incident at all. It was better when I was in the military. It was clear who our enemies were.
I want to clarify why Enrico, Richard, and everyone else lost their lives. That's why we're also cooperating in this pain in the ass of an investigation. I need to take measures to prevent this from happening again. I'm begging you.
Where should I begin? On that day, we hadn't received word from the Bravo Team and were immediately dispatched by helicopter. I was the one who spotted them. It began here... (omitted)
From C•Redfield's First Testimony
JILL VALENTINE report vol.2 (p.083)
...I escaped from the mansion and passed through the courtyard, it seemed all I could think about was to survive and find Chris. However, I think my sense of justice was finally awakened by figuring out the scale of what was being done there in that dormitory. You have to leave this area alone, it's an evil place.
...it's bizarre. You should already realize it's the truth when you look at the keeper's diary or researcher's will in the mansion. It's all true. My sense of justice, no matter what human ideals are in the face of a giant power... I'm sorry. I must get back to it. After I left the courtyard. There in front of me was the shadow of a dark dormitory...
From J•Valentine's Second Testimony
CHRIS REDFIELD report vol.3 (p.95)
...then I found a broken radio on the way back from the dormitory. I think if I didn't have this, I wouldn't have been able to escape. But if I could send a signal from this place, we could've escaped faster. Well, that would've been a great result.
There were problems afterwards though. Like that green gorilla... terrifying, I can't describe it well. Let's call it a Hunter since it was stealthy. It's actually a name I uncovered later. This guy came after and attacked me. This evening my aim was too good.
I understand now. That guy deliberately released them! To fight with us. Since then, the mansion had become a real crisis zone...
From C•Redfield's Third Testimony
JILL VALENTINE report vol.4 (p.109)
...I was facing the elevator in the courtyard with the battery I got at the mansion, and finally I found the entrance to the basement hidden behind the waterfall. When I got down there, the underground passage was dark and damp. So... sorry. Just the thought of Enrico. Well, I don't think there was anything I could've done differently. But if I had a little more ability and a little more insight into the incident, he might not have died... After all, he was the only victim who was directly murdered in this incident.
Let me tell you about my time. In the basement I couldn't feel any signs of friends or foes alike. However, it seems that "man" had been monitoring me since then. I was completely out of luck.
From J•Valentine's Fourth Testimony
CHRIS REDFIELD report vol.5 (p.117)
...Now it's all over. It was a long night, but all the evil in this lab's gone. I looked back on the incident as I told you, but I'm dead inside... It was a horrible case. Just looking at S.T.A.R.S., Joseph, Enrico, Kenneth, Richard, Forest, Edward, there's no one else. Myself, Jill, and Rebecca were in a situation where we could die if we messed up. To say there was really only one person to die...
I'm not going to be intimidated, but it can't be helped. Because I know all the creatures in the lab, the Zombies and Hunters I fought as foes, and even that Tyrant, were victims. Well, let's keep talking. First, that fountain mechanism...

AFTER THE BIOHAZARD INCIDENT (p.131)
Sequel to the event
The Arklay Mountains laboratory was completely destroyed by the previously mentioned explosion. The ensuing fire also spread to the neighboring trees. Local fire department and national guard troops struggled to contain the fire, but a large area of about 750 acres (approx. 300 hectares) of forest had burned by the time the fire was put out. However, the one saving grace of this disaster is that the true source of the fire has never been revealed. It should also be noted that the four survivors haven't been cleared of suspicion of virus infection, and their whereabouts remain unknown.
List of Biohazard Incident Victims
...Stabbed in stomach by the Tyrant in the research lab basement and killed instantly. Cause of death thought to be shock due to internal organ trauma.
Joseph Frost (A Team)
...Bitten to death by Cerberus in the mountain forest. Direct cause of death was a broken spine suffered in the attack.
Enrico Marini (B Team)
...Instantly killed by gunshot wound to the chest in the central courtyard (garden). The killer was determined to be Albert Wesker based on circumstantial evidence.
Kenneth J. Sullivan (B Team)
...Heavily injured body found in the mansion on the first floor. Cause of death was Zombie-inflicted head and neck injuries.
Richard Aiken (B Team)
...Died shortly after being found in front of the mansion attic. Body was covered with claw wounds, severe scratches and bite wounds from the left shoulder to the right leg. The direct cause of death's thought to be "Yawn" shock.
Forest Speyer (B Team)
...Body found on the mansion's second floor terrace. Direct cause of death: blood loss due to claw attack.
Edward Dewey (B Team)
...Only right wrist and below was found in the Arklay Mountains. With most of the body missing, unlikely to be able to determine the cause of death.
...Became Zombies due to viral infection and most were shot dead by S.T.A.R.S. officers. However, from documents discovered in the mansion, at least one suicide was confirmed.
25 Laboratory Personnel (estimated)
...Nearly all died from attacks by other workers who were infected with the virus and turned into Zombies. Perhaps because they had early knowledge of the news the virus had leaked, a higher number of workers committed suicide than in the mansion.
7 Researchers Visiting from Headquarters (estimated)
...These are all missing and unaccounted for, with no bodies found. In some cases, they could be held in isolation by Umbrella, so verifying their whereabouts must be carried out urgently.
22 Test Subjects Type A (names unconfirmed)
...People turned into Hunters through virus injection. Nearly all were shot dead by S.T.A.R.S. officers. They're thought to have been homeless people or people with an otherwise irregular place of residence, so verifying identities would prove extremely difficult.
1 Test Subject Type B (name unconfirmed)
...A test subject who became a Tyrant through experimental treatments such as virus injection. The body cannot be found due to the lab explosion, making identity verification impossible.
Victims of attacks by Zombies or Cerberus escaped from the research facility.
Travelers from Other States - 7 people (estimated)
Believed to have been attacked by Cerberus while mountain climbing. All but two were lone climbers.
The victims indicated in the above list are only an estimate based on an ongoing investigation. The number of victims is expected to increase as details of various documents produced by the forced investigation of Umbrella are verified. Also, due to a sudden increase in the numbers of lost or missing persons reported to the city police since the spring, there are believed to still be many potential victims.

BIOHAZARD INCIDENT INVESTIGATION FILE (p.132)
Summary of Investigation Files
Above are all the results of the investigation. However I can't help but hold back a swelling anxiety as the full picture of the incident is elucidated like this. In other words, would virus contamination really end like this? This is what I've heard.
What has become clear due to the criminal investigation of the Umbrella Corporation is that there are still unknown portions when it comes to the properties of the virus which contaminated the Arklay Mountains facility. The microbiology advisor in our committee is of the opinion that it may be a P3 level virus with extremely low infectious capacity (similar to the AIDS virus), but that's a mere guess. Currently, there has no verified contamination of facilities outside the site and the situation has seen no progress, but we're withholding prejudgment for the time being. worst but thinking about the possible contamination of Racco n C y, we should take future countermea ure ......
*The above document was discovered on the desk of an official on this case who suddenly went missing. It seemed to predate a clean copy and typos in the latter half are significant, but we have dared to place the original in recognition of its association with the case.
