Grace's Report
The Truth Of Raccoon City
INTRODUCTION
In 1998, a large-scale biohazard occurred in Raccoon City, a city in the midwestern United States.
The cause was an outbreak of a virus from the pharmaceutical company Umbrella.
Raccoon City was destroyed by the US Government's Sterilization Strategy.
The surrounding area was sealed off.
In 2004, Umbrella was declared bankrupt following legal proceedings.
Time passed without a thorough conclusion to the incident.
However, in October 2026, it was uncovered that trade in viral weapons had continued within the sealed-off Raccoon City until the present day.
This report demonstrates the established narrative behind the Raccoon Incident to be erroneous, and documents the newly uncovered truth.
1968
To explain the facts, we must go back to the year 1968.
This year saw Oswell E. Spencer establish the Umbrella Corporation alongside James Marcus and Edward Ashford.
Having witnessed two world wars and the ensuing Cold War, Spencer felt profound despair at a world repeating its mistakes, yet simultaneously bore a strong sense of duty to alter humanity.
His goal was "human evolution by means of a virus," as recorded in court documents following the Raccoon Incident.
He then pursued virus research through illegal and inhumane methods.
These facts remain unchanged to this day.
1970s
Ever since its was founded, Umbrella was plagued by fierce development and factional conflict.
The antagonism between Spencer and Marcus became particularly pronounced.
This was reported at the trial as being one primary factor contributing to the abnormal development structure.
Then, in 1978, James Marcus developed the t-Virus, which would later cause a pandemic.
1980s
This decade is vitally important for explaining the truth.
Events that occurred during this period form the causal basis for the incident.
◆ CONCENTRATING POWER FOR SPENCER & CONSTRUCTING ARK
Spencer utilized internal corporate politics to relegate Marcus to a non-essential position.
He moved the t-Virus research over to a laboratory under his own control.
Thereafter, under Spencer's leadership, Umbrella intensified research and development of various biological weapons.
The newly discovered underground facility, "ARK", was originally a centralized management facility storing all of Umbrella's research assets.
Documents outlining Spencer's plans utilizing ARK have been discovered.
――Excerpt from Confiscated Record "Long-Term Strategic Review 1980_0422"――
ARK-Centric Integrated Management Research Roadmap
Scenario 1: Concentrated investment in the Wesker Project & t-Virus Project
Scenario 2: Construction of Central Management Facility ARK
Scenario 3: Elpis Research & Development
Scenario 4: Memory Transfer & Forced Evolution
And the crucial keyword "Elpis" first appears.
◆ THE CONNECTIONS CLOSE IN
Meanwhile, intriguing documents concerning Marcus have also surfaced.
――Excerpt from Confiscated Record "Donation Receipt Record 1986_0138"――
Recipient: James Marcus
Sender: F Foundation
Amount: $30,000,000
This document shows Marcus receiving nebulous funding.
Past FBI investigations revealed the source of the funds, the F Foundation, to be a front organization for The Connections.
(The F Foundation has since been dissolved)
The Connections are a crime ring numerous government agencies have repeatedly sounded the alarm on.
This unlawful organization lies at the heart of the current scandal.
Documents reveal The Connections were attempting to involve themselves with Umbrella's core operations back then.
Additionally, documents have been uncovered pertaining to Marcus' protégé, Brandon Bailey.
――Excerpt from Confiscated Record "Telegram Log 1988_0996"――
Preparations are complete.
I wonder if they may connect me soon, awaiting contact.
From: Brandon Bailey
To: F Foundation
It is safe to assume the relationship with The Connections was inherited by Bailey from Marcus.
Brandon was claimed to be the founder of The Connections.
Yet even he was merely rank and file, The Connections are believed to have been deeply and widely entrenched within the underworld since before the 1980s.
The full scope of The Connections remains entirely unclear.
◆ PURGES BY SPENCER
Aiming to gain complete control of Umbrella, Spencer conspired to eliminate internal opposition forces and influential figures.
A newly discovered list of individuals targeted for purging, likely prepared by Spencer's inner circle, has now surfaced.
――Excerpt from Confiscated Record: "Reevaluation Target List"――
In accordance with the CEO's directive for reevaluation protocols, measures shall be implemented against the following individuals.
Candidate List
■ Cheryl Moore
■ Michael Kramer
■ James Marcus
......
(omitted)
1990s
During this period, Umbrella continued to grow and expand through collusion with the government, causing the organization to become so bloated Spencer could no longer maintain full control.
Accidents frequently occurred at Umbrella facilities in various locations due to lax management systems.
Furthermore, rampant informants leaked information to rival organizations and The Connections.
Amidst this situation, there was research Spencer thoroughly safeguarded and completed at ARK.
That was Elpis.
Most records concerning Elpis were lost in ARK's collapse, but a few fragments remain.
――Excerpt from Confiscated Record "Spencer Message 199...... (data loss)"――
TRICELL H.C.F. The Family... and Umbrella
Elpis will reduce them all to nothing (data loss thereafter)
The only information to leak out and spread was Elpis being said to be a game-changer that would disrupt the global military balance.
Elpis was then strictly controlled by means of a password known only to Spencer.
◆ WHAT IS ELPIS?
Elpis is a potent antiviral drug.
However, The Connections and parties involved in the black market have mistakenly believed Elpis to be a powerful viral weapon capable of mind-controlling humanity.
This was because the viral weapon development race was intensifying at the time, and above all, it was common knowledge its developer, Spencer, aimed to evolve and control humanity using viruses.
◆ COMPLETION OF ELPIS
Based on confiscated documents and Spencer's behavioral changes, Elpis' completion is estimated to have occurred around the mid-1990s.
From this period onwards, there are significantly less of Spencer's recorded statements in the confiscated documents.
The Raccoon City Orphanage also exemplifies this shift in activity.
Horrifically, the orphanage children are suspected to have been long exploited for Umbrella's experiments.
Spencer frequently visited the orphanage but ceased these visits during the 1990s.
It is known that by the late 1990s, the orphanage had come under the research jurisdiction of William Birkin.
Eventually, he turned against Spencer.
This became the catalyst for the t-Virus outbreak.
1998 THE RACCOON INCIDENT
The t-Virus leaked from an Umbrella laboratory.
An unprecedented outbreak occurred in Raccoon City.
The government then launched a missile strike on Raccoon City.
However, we had been misled.
The missile strike was not intended to prevent the spread of infection.
A plan was executed to cover up the collusion between the government and Umbrella while placing all blame for illegal activities squarely on Spencer.
Records have been found showing The Connections lobbied the government to launch the missile.
――Excerpt from Confiscated Record: "Access Log: 1st Meeting Minutes"――
ARK is under our control. Launch the aforementioned missile.
Let Spencer bear full liability.
Dispose of Umbrella, we'll take all its assets.
Their objective was Umbrella's assets... particularly, seizing Elpis, which would upset the global military balance.
The Connections had been monitoring Umbrella's internal affairs through Bailey since before the Raccoon Incident.
That is precisely how they were able to immediately secure ARK during the incident and instruct the government to carry out the Sterilization Strategy.
AFTER THE RACCOON INCIDENT
◆ THE UMBRELLA TRIAL
The Raccoon Incident became an unprecedented biohazard.
As is well known, a trial was held to determine responsibility for the incident.
Through testimonies of survivors who escaped Raccoon City, as well as numerous pieces of evidence submitted by the Pharmaceutical Industry Association, Umbrella's misdeeds were revealed one after another.
During the trial, evidence unfavorable to Spencer was submitted by his former subordinate, Albert Wesker.
Wesker was revealed to be involved with TRICELL, a company with strong ties to The Connections.
It is highly likely the government and The Connections lobbied behind the scenes of the trial.
In 2004, as a result of the trial, Umbrella was forced into bankruptcy.
As intended by the government and The Connections, Umbrella's leader, Oswell E. Spencer, was held liable and vanished from the public eye.
◆ THE SEIZURE OF ARK
Simultaneously with the Raccoon Incident, ARK was taken over by the government and The Connections.
Thereafter, ARK was utilized as a base for the research, development, and export of viral weapons and B.O.W.'s.
Documents believed to be transaction lists were also confiscated.
They listed Umbrella's competitors, along with corporations and organizations previously implicated in illegal activities.
However, much of the material evidence was lost with ARK's collapse.
Recovery efforts continue, but prospects appear slim.
◆ THE PROLIFERATION OF BIOTERRORISM
The viral weapons Umbrella developed were circulated following the Raccoon Incident.
Bioterrorism involving B.O.W.'s, developed by applying and expanding that technology, became a frequent occurrence throughout the world.
In 2013, President Adam Benford was assassinated in a bioterror attack.
According to intelligence authorities, the President had resolved to make public the full truth behind the Raccoon Incident.
The "full truth" President Benford referred to may have pertained to the matters uncovered this time.
◆ SPENCER'S LATER YEARS
Few records remain of Spencer after Umbrella's dissolution, but new materials have now been discovered.
An interview conducted by Alyssa Ashcroft.
During this interview, the mad scientist responsible for countless atrocities uttered words that could be interpreted as regret.
He had been stripped of everything and sought atonement.
Elpis is a powerful weapon capable of neutralizing viral agents, yet it could also be a panacea for peaceful applications.
He may have genuinely developed Elpis to rectify his mistakes.
In his final days, he remained fixated on his idealized vision of human evolution.
However, most testimonies described him as little more than an old man who lost his mind.
In 2006, Spencer died at his retirement residence.
It is no longer possible for us to uncover his true motives behind developing Elpis.
CONCLUSION
This incident has revealed the Umbrella Corporation's dissolution was deliberately orchestrated by the government and The Connections.
Moreover, they were involved in the illegal development and trade of biological weapons within Raccoon City.
Future investigations will likely uncover the extent to which both the current and former governments were involved.
However, The Connections remain largely shrouded in darkness.
Regrettably, the vast majority of records concerning them were lost, swallowed up in ARK's collapse.
Many people have fallen victim thus far.
We, as government officials, have an obligation to seek the truth for the sake of restoring the wavering trust.
I believe this will also serve as a tribute to the victimized.

OFFICIAL JAPANESE TRANSCRIPT
ラクーンシティの真実
はじめに
1998年、アメリカ中西部の都市ラクーンシティで起きた大規模バイオハザード。
原因は製薬会社アンブレラによるウィルスの漏洩だった。
アメリカ政府の滅菌作戦によってラクーンシティは壊滅。
周辺区域は封鎖された。
2004年、裁判によってアンブレラは倒産。
事件の総括が十分ではないまま時がたった。
しかし2026年10月、封鎖されたラクーンシティでウィルス兵器売買が現在まで行われていたことが発覚する。
このレポートは、これまでのラクーン事件の定説が誤りであることを示し、新たに発覚した真実を記すものである。
1968年
事実を説明するために時代は1968年に遡る。
この年、オズウェル・E・スペンサーはジェームス・マーカス、エドワード・アシュフォードと共にアンブレラ社を創業した。
２度の世界大戦と続く冷戦を見たスペンサーは過ちを繰り返す世界に、深い絶望を感じると同時に人類を変えたいという強い使命感を抱いていた。
彼の目標は「ウィルスによる人類の進化」であったことがラクーン事件後の裁判記録に残されている。
そして彼は違法かつ非人道的手段でウィルス研究に邁進していく。
その事実は今なお変わりはない。
1970年代
アンブレラでは、創業当初から熾烈な開発・派閥闘争が行われていた。
特にスペンサーとマーカスの対立が鮮明化した。
それが異常な開発体制へつながる要因の一つであったと裁判で報告されている。
そして1978年、ジェームス・マーカスによって後にパンデミックを引き起こすt-ウィルスが開発された。
1980年代
この年代は真相を説明するため非常に重要な時期だ。
この時期に起きたことが、事件の因果関係の元となっている。
◆スペンサーへの権力集中とARK建設
スペンサーは社内政治を駆使して、マーカスを閑職へと左遷。
t-ウィルス研究を自身が管理する研究所へ引き継がせた。
以降、アンブレラではスペンサー主導のもと様々な生物兵器の研究・開発が活発化していくことになる。
今回新たに発見された地下施設「ARK」は当初はアンブレラの全ての研究遺産を保管する中央管理施設であった。
ARKを活用したスペンサーの計画資料が発見されている。
――押収記録「長期戦略レビュー1980_0422」より抜粋――
ARKを中心にした統合管理研究ロードマップ
シナリオ１：ウェスカー計画・t-ウィルス計画への集中投資
シナリオ２：中央管理施設ARK建設
シナリオ３：エルピス研究開発
シナリオ４：記憶転移・強制進化
そして重要なキーワード「エルピス」の名前が現れ始める。
◆コネクションの接近
一方、マーカスについても興味深い資料が見つかっている。
――押収記録「寄付金受領記録1986_0138」より抜粋――
受領者 ジェームス・マーカス
送金元 F財団
金額 ＄30,000,000
マーカスへの不透明な資金流入を示す資料だ。
送金元のF財団はコネクションの傀儡組織であったことが過去のFBI捜査で判明している。
（F財団はすでに消滅）
コネクションとは、これまでに様々な政府機関が警鐘を鳴らしてきた犯罪集団だ。
この非合法組織は今回の疑獄の中心にいる。
資料からは、コネクションが当時からアンブレラの中枢に
関わりを持とうとしていたことがわかる。
また、マーカスの弟子であるブランドン・ベイリーの文書も見つかっている。
――押収記録「電報ログ1988_0996」より抜粋――
準備は出来た。
そろそろ彼らにも繋いでもらえないだろうか、連絡を待つ 。
送信元：ブランドン・ベイリー
送信先：F財団
コネクションとのつながりは、マーカスからベイリーへと引き継がれたと見て間違いないだろう。
ブランドンはコネクションの創設者と言われていた。
だがそれも末端のひとつにすぎず、コネクションは1980年代以前から裏社会に広く深く根差してきたと考えられる。
コネクションの全体像はいまだ何も見えていない。
◆スペンサーによる粛清
スペンサーはアンブレラを完全に支配するため社内の対抗勢力や実力者を謀略によって処理していった。
スペンサーの側近が用意したとみられる粛清対象者の一覧が今回新たに発見されている。
――押収記録「再評価対象者リスト」より抜粋――
総帥ご指示の再評価プロトコルに従い、彼らへの措置を実施します。
候補者リスト
■シェリル・ムーア
■マイケル・クラマー
■ジェームス・マーカス
……
（以下略）
1990年代
この時期、アンブレラは政府と癒着して成長拡大を続けスペンサーがコントロールし切れないほどに組織は肥大化した。
各地のアンブレラ施設で杜撰な管理体制による事故が頻発。
また内通者たちの横行によって情報が競合組織やコネクションにリークされていた。
その状況下で、スペンサーがARKで徹底的に守護し完成させた研究がある。
それがエルピスだ。
エルピスに関する記録はそのほとんどがARKの倒壊で喪失してしまったが、わずかな記録が残っている。
――押収記録「スペンサーメッセージ 199……（欠損）」より抜粋――
トライセル H.C.F ファミリー……
そしてアンブレラ
エルピスが全てを無に帰する
（以降データ欠損）
エルピスは世界の軍事バランスを崩すゲームチェンジャーとなるという情報だけがリークされ広まっていく。
そしてエルピスは、スペンサーのみが知る暗号によって厳重に管理された。
◆エルピスとは？
エルピスとは強力な抗ウィルス薬である。
しかし、コネクションおよび闇市場関係者はエルピスは人類をマインドコントロールする強力なウィルス兵器だと誤認してきた。
なぜなら当時はウィルス兵器開発競争が激化しており、何より開発者のスペンサーがウィルスによる人類の進化・コントロールを目指していたことは、周知の事実だったからである。
◆エルピス完成
押収された資料およびスペンサーの行動変容からエルピスの完成は1990年台中期と推測される。
この時期以降、押収資料からスペンサーの発言記録が著しく減少する。
またラクーンシティ孤児院も動向変化の一例だ。
おぞましいことに孤児院の子供たちはアンブレラの実験に長く利用されてきた疑いがある。
スペンサーは孤児院を頻繁に訪れていたが1990年台には訪問をやめている。
なお、孤児院は1990年台後半にはウィリアム・バーキンの研究管轄となっていたことがわかっている。
やがて彼はスペンサーに反旗を翻す。
それがt-ウィルス漏洩のきっかけとなった。
1998年 ラクーン事件
t-ウィルスがアンブレラ研究所から漏洩。
ラクーンシティで未曽有のアウトブレイクが発生する。
そして政府はラクーンシティへミサイル攻撃を敢行した。
しかし、我々はミスリードされていた。
ミサイル攻撃は感染拡大を防ぐためではなかった。
政府とアンブレラの癒着をうやむやとし非合法活動の全ての責任をスペンサーに押し付ける計画が実行されたのだ。
コネクションが政府にミサイル発射を働きかけた記録が見つかっている。
――押収記録「アクセスログ：第１期会合記録」より抜粋――
ARKは掌握した。例のミサイルを撃ち込め。
全ての責任をスペンサーに負ってもらおう。
アンブレラは処分して資産は全ていただく。
彼らの目的はアンブレラの資産……
特に世界の軍事バランスを崩すエルピスの奪取だった。
コネクションはラクーン事件前からベイリーを通じてアンブレラの内情を把握していた。
だからこそラクーン事件に際して即座にARKを確保し、政府に滅菌作戦を指示できたのだ。
ラクーン事件後
◆アンブレラ裁判
未曽有のバイオハザードとなったラクーン事件。
周知のとおり、事件の責任をめぐって裁判が行われた。
ラクーンシティから逃げ延びた生存者の証言や製薬企業連盟から提出された幾多の証拠によってアンブレラの悪事は次々と明らかになっていった。
裁判ではスペンサーに不利な証拠が彼の部下であったアルバート・ウェスカーから提出されている。
ウェスカーは、コネクションと強いつながりのあったトライセル社と関係を持っていたことが明らかになっている。
裁判の裏で政府とコネクションからの働きかけがあった可能性が高い。
2004年、裁判の結果を受けてアンブレラは倒産に追い込まれた。
コネクションと政府の思惑通りアンブレラ総帥であるオズウェル・Ｅ・スペンサーはその責任を問われ、表舞台から姿を消した。
◆ARK接収
ラクーン事件と同時にARKはコネクションと政府に接収された。
以後、ARKはウィルス兵器やB.O.W.の研究開発・搬出拠点として利用されていた。
取引リストと思われる資料も押収されている。
そこにはアンブレラの競合企業やかつて違法行為が発覚した企業・組織が記されていた。
しかしながら、ARKの崩壊と共に証拠資料の多くは失われた。
復旧作業が続いているが望みは薄いだろう。
◆バイオテロの蔓延
ラクーン事件後、アンブレラが開発したウィルス兵器が流出。
その技術を応用拡張したB.O.W.によるバイオテロが世界中で頻発する。
2013年、アダム・ベンフォード大統領がバイオテロで暗殺される。
情報当局によると大統領は、ラクーン事件の全容を明らかにする事を決意していたという。
ベンフォード大統領が言う全容とは今回発覚した事項を指していた可能性がある。
◆スペンサーの晩年
アンブレラ解体後のスペンサーについて残されている記録は少ないが、今回新たな資料が発見された。
アリッサ・アッシュクロフトによるインタビューだ。
数々の非道を行ってきたマッドサイエンティストはインタビューにおいて、後悔と解釈できる言葉を口にしている。
彼はすべてを奪われ贖罪を望んでいたのだ。
エルピスはウィルス兵器を無効化できる強力な武器である一方で、平和利用の万能薬にもなる。
彼は本心から過ちを正すために、エルピスを開発していたのかもしれない。
晩年の彼は、理想とした人類の進化に執着しつづける。
だが、ほとんど証言ではただ正気を失った老人のようであったという。
2006年、スペンサーは隠居先の邸宅で死亡している。
エルピスを開発した本心を聞き出すことは、もうできない。
終わりに
今回の事件で、アンブレラ社解体が政府とコネクションによって故意に引き起こされたことが明らかになった。
そして彼らはラクーンシティで非合法の生物兵器開発・取引に関わってきた。
かつての、そして現在の政府がどこまで関わっているのかは今後の捜査で明らかになるだろう。
しかしコネクションについてはまだほとんどのことが闇の中だ。
残念ながら、彼らに関する記録は大半がARKの倒壊に巻き込まれて消失してしまった。
これまでに多くの人々が犠牲となった。
私たち政府職員は、揺らいだ信頼を取り戻すために真実を追求する義務がある。
またそれが犠牲となった方々への弔いになるだろう。

1998年、アメリカ中西部の都市ラクーンシティで起きた大規模バイオハザード。
原因は製薬会社アンブレラによるウィルスの漏洩だった。
アメリカ政府の滅菌作戦によってラクーンシティは壊滅。
周辺区域は封鎖された。
2004年、裁判によってアンブレラは倒産。
事件の総括が十分ではないまま時がたった。
しかし2026年10月、封鎖されたラクーンシティでウィルス兵器売買が現在まで行われていたことが発覚する。
このレポートは、これまでのラクーン事件の定説が誤りであることを示し、新たに発覚した真実を記すものである。
1968年
事実を説明するために時代は1968年に遡る。
この年、オズウェル・E・スペンサーはジェームス・マーカス、エドワード・アシュフォードと共にアンブレラ社を創業した。
２度の世界大戦と続く冷戦を見たスペンサーは過ちを繰り返す世界に、深い絶望を感じると同時に人類を変えたいという強い使命感を抱いていた。
彼の目標は「ウィルスによる人類の進化」であったことがラクーン事件後の裁判記録に残されている。
そして彼は違法かつ非人道的手段でウィルス研究に邁進していく。
その事実は今なお変わりはない。
1970年代
アンブレラでは、創業当初から熾烈な開発・派閥闘争が行われていた。
特にスペンサーとマーカスの対立が鮮明化した。
それが異常な開発体制へつながる要因の一つであったと裁判で報告されている。
そして1978年、ジェームス・マーカスによって後にパンデミックを引き起こすt-ウィルスが開発された。
1980年代
この年代は真相を説明するため非常に重要な時期だ。
この時期に起きたことが、事件の因果関係の元となっている。
◆スペンサーへの権力集中とARK建設
スペンサーは社内政治を駆使して、マーカスを閑職へと左遷。
t-ウィルス研究を自身が管理する研究所へ引き継がせた。
以降、アンブレラではスペンサー主導のもと様々な生物兵器の研究・開発が活発化していくことになる。
今回新たに発見された地下施設「ARK」は当初はアンブレラの全ての研究遺産を保管する中央管理施設であった。
ARKを活用したスペンサーの計画資料が発見されている。
――押収記録「長期戦略レビュー1980_0422」より抜粋――
ARKを中心にした統合管理研究ロードマップ
シナリオ１：ウェスカー計画・t-ウィルス計画への集中投資
シナリオ２：中央管理施設ARK建設
シナリオ３：エルピス研究開発
シナリオ４：記憶転移・強制進化
そして重要なキーワード「エルピス」の名前が現れ始める。
◆コネクションの接近
一方、マーカスについても興味深い資料が見つかっている。
――押収記録「寄付金受領記録1986_0138」より抜粋――
受領者 ジェームス・マーカス
送金元 F財団
金額 ＄30,000,000
マーカスへの不透明な資金流入を示す資料だ。
送金元のF財団はコネクションの傀儡組織であったことが過去のFBI捜査で判明している。
（F財団はすでに消滅）
コネクションとは、これまでに様々な政府機関が警鐘を鳴らしてきた犯罪集団だ。
この非合法組織は今回の疑獄の中心にいる。
資料からは、コネクションが当時からアンブレラの中枢に
関わりを持とうとしていたことがわかる。
また、マーカスの弟子であるブランドン・ベイリーの文書も見つかっている。
――押収記録「電報ログ1988_0996」より抜粋――
準備は出来た。
そろそろ彼らにも繋いでもらえないだろうか、連絡を待つ 。
送信元：ブランドン・ベイリー
送信先：F財団
コネクションとのつながりは、マーカスからベイリーへと引き継がれたと見て間違いないだろう。
ブランドンはコネクションの創設者と言われていた。
だがそれも末端のひとつにすぎず、コネクションは1980年代以前から裏社会に広く深く根差してきたと考えられる。
コネクションの全体像はいまだ何も見えていない。
◆スペンサーによる粛清
スペンサーはアンブレラを完全に支配するため社内の対抗勢力や実力者を謀略によって処理していった。
スペンサーの側近が用意したとみられる粛清対象者の一覧が今回新たに発見されている。
――押収記録「再評価対象者リスト」より抜粋――
総帥ご指示の再評価プロトコルに従い、彼らへの措置を実施します。
候補者リスト
■シェリル・ムーア
■マイケル・クラマー
■ジェームス・マーカス
……
（以下略）
1990年代
この時期、アンブレラは政府と癒着して成長拡大を続けスペンサーがコントロールし切れないほどに組織は肥大化した。
各地のアンブレラ施設で杜撰な管理体制による事故が頻発。
また内通者たちの横行によって情報が競合組織やコネクションにリークされていた。
その状況下で、スペンサーがARKで徹底的に守護し完成させた研究がある。
それがエルピスだ。
エルピスに関する記録はそのほとんどがARKの倒壊で喪失してしまったが、わずかな記録が残っている。
――押収記録「スペンサーメッセージ 199……（欠損）」より抜粋――
トライセル H.C.F ファミリー……
そしてアンブレラ
エルピスが全てを無に帰する
（以降データ欠損）
エルピスは世界の軍事バランスを崩すゲームチェンジャーとなるという情報だけがリークされ広まっていく。
そしてエルピスは、スペンサーのみが知る暗号によって厳重に管理された。
◆エルピスとは？
エルピスとは強力な抗ウィルス薬である。
しかし、コネクションおよび闇市場関係者はエルピスは人類をマインドコントロールする強力なウィルス兵器だと誤認してきた。
なぜなら当時はウィルス兵器開発競争が激化しており、何より開発者のスペンサーがウィルスによる人類の進化・コントロールを目指していたことは、周知の事実だったからである。
◆エルピス完成
押収された資料およびスペンサーの行動変容からエルピスの完成は1990年台中期と推測される。
この時期以降、押収資料からスペンサーの発言記録が著しく減少する。
またラクーンシティ孤児院も動向変化の一例だ。
おぞましいことに孤児院の子供たちはアンブレラの実験に長く利用されてきた疑いがある。
スペンサーは孤児院を頻繁に訪れていたが1990年台には訪問をやめている。
なお、孤児院は1990年台後半にはウィリアム・バーキンの研究管轄となっていたことがわかっている。
やがて彼はスペンサーに反旗を翻す。
それがt-ウィルス漏洩のきっかけとなった。
1998年 ラクーン事件
t-ウィルスがアンブレラ研究所から漏洩。
ラクーンシティで未曽有のアウトブレイクが発生する。
そして政府はラクーンシティへミサイル攻撃を敢行した。
しかし、我々はミスリードされていた。
ミサイル攻撃は感染拡大を防ぐためではなかった。
政府とアンブレラの癒着をうやむやとし非合法活動の全ての責任をスペンサーに押し付ける計画が実行されたのだ。
コネクションが政府にミサイル発射を働きかけた記録が見つかっている。
――押収記録「アクセスログ：第１期会合記録」より抜粋――
ARKは掌握した。例のミサイルを撃ち込め。
全ての責任をスペンサーに負ってもらおう。
アンブレラは処分して資産は全ていただく。
彼らの目的はアンブレラの資産……
特に世界の軍事バランスを崩すエルピスの奪取だった。
コネクションはラクーン事件前からベイリーを通じてアンブレラの内情を把握していた。
だからこそラクーン事件に際して即座にARKを確保し、政府に滅菌作戦を指示できたのだ。
ラクーン事件後
◆アンブレラ裁判
未曽有のバイオハザードとなったラクーン事件。
周知のとおり、事件の責任をめぐって裁判が行われた。
ラクーンシティから逃げ延びた生存者の証言や製薬企業連盟から提出された幾多の証拠によってアンブレラの悪事は次々と明らかになっていった。
裁判ではスペンサーに不利な証拠が彼の部下であったアルバート・ウェスカーから提出されている。
ウェスカーは、コネクションと強いつながりのあったトライセル社と関係を持っていたことが明らかになっている。
裁判の裏で政府とコネクションからの働きかけがあった可能性が高い。
2004年、裁判の結果を受けてアンブレラは倒産に追い込まれた。
コネクションと政府の思惑通りアンブレラ総帥であるオズウェル・Ｅ・スペンサーはその責任を問われ、表舞台から姿を消した。
◆ARK接収
ラクーン事件と同時にARKはコネクションと政府に接収された。
以後、ARKはウィルス兵器やB.O.W.の研究開発・搬出拠点として利用されていた。
取引リストと思われる資料も押収されている。
そこにはアンブレラの競合企業やかつて違法行為が発覚した企業・組織が記されていた。
しかしながら、ARKの崩壊と共に証拠資料の多くは失われた。
復旧作業が続いているが望みは薄いだろう。
◆バイオテロの蔓延
ラクーン事件後、アンブレラが開発したウィルス兵器が流出。
その技術を応用拡張したB.O.W.によるバイオテロが世界中で頻発する。
2013年、アダム・ベンフォード大統領がバイオテロで暗殺される。
情報当局によると大統領は、ラクーン事件の全容を明らかにする事を決意していたという。
ベンフォード大統領が言う全容とは今回発覚した事項を指していた可能性がある。
◆スペンサーの晩年
アンブレラ解体後のスペンサーについて残されている記録は少ないが、今回新たな資料が発見された。
アリッサ・アッシュクロフトによるインタビューだ。
数々の非道を行ってきたマッドサイエンティストはインタビューにおいて、後悔と解釈できる言葉を口にしている。
彼はすべてを奪われ贖罪を望んでいたのだ。
エルピスはウィルス兵器を無効化できる強力な武器である一方で、平和利用の万能薬にもなる。
彼は本心から過ちを正すために、エルピスを開発していたのかもしれない。
晩年の彼は、理想とした人類の進化に執着しつづける。
だが、ほとんど証言ではただ正気を失った老人のようであったという。
2006年、スペンサーは隠居先の邸宅で死亡している。
エルピスを開発した本心を聞き出すことは、もうできない。
終わりに
今回の事件で、アンブレラ社解体が政府とコネクションによって故意に引き起こされたことが明らかになった。
そして彼らはラクーンシティで非合法の生物兵器開発・取引に関わってきた。
かつての、そして現在の政府がどこまで関わっているのかは今後の捜査で明らかになるだろう。
しかしコネクションについてはまだほとんどのことが闇の中だ。
残念ながら、彼らに関する記録は大半がARKの倒壊に巻き込まれて消失してしまった。
これまでに多くの人々が犠牲となった。
私たち政府職員は、揺らいだ信頼を取り戻すために真実を追求する義務がある。
またそれが犠牲となった方々への弔いになるだろう。

OFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSCRIPT
The Truth Behind Raccoon City
Introduction
In 1998, Raccoon City was devastated by a massive outbreak caused by a viral leak from the pharmaceutical giant, Umbrella.
The United States government responded by launching a missile strike to wipe out the infected, and erected a blockade to seal off the city.
In 2004, following a court trial, the Umbrella Corporation declared bankruptcy. A complete account of the events was never released.
However, in October 2026, it was discovered that the city had been used as a hub for the production and trafficking of bioweapons.
This report reveals that the established narrative of the Raccoon City Incident was falsified and elucidates newly discovered truths surrounding the incident.
1968
To properly understand the truth, we must first go back to the beginning of it all.
In 1968, Ozwell E. Spencer, James Marcus, and Edward Ashford founded the Umbrella Corporation.
Having witnessed the horrors of the Second World War and the dread of the Cold War, Spencer felt a sense of despair at watching the world repeat the same mistakes. He felt it was his duty to bring about a change to humanity.
As stated in court records following the Raccoon City incident, his ultimate goal was to bring about the "viral evolution of the human race."
Thus, he relentlessly pursued virus research through illegal and inhumane means. This fact remains unchanged.
1970s
From the very beginning of Umbrella, the company faced rapid change and intense internal strife— most notably, the sharp ideological divide between Spencer and Marcus.
According to court records, this conflict was cited as the primary factor leading to the unusual developments which followed.
In 1978, James Marcus developed the T-Virus, which would go on to become the cause of the subsequent outbreak.
1980s
This is a crucial period for understanding the basis of what caused the incident and the truth behind the entire case.
Spencer's Influence and ARK's Establishment
Spencer used internal politics to have Marcus demoted, absorbing T-Virus research into a facility under his own control. From then on, Umbrella began to actively research and develop bioweapons under Spencer's leadership.
The underground facility known as ARK, which was discovered during recent events, originally served as the administrative center of Umbrella's research.
Several documents outlining Spencer's plan for ARK have also been discovered.
Excerpt from confiscated records:
"Long-Term Strategic Review 1980_0422"
ARK-centric Integrated Research Roadmap
Step 1: Concentrated investment into Wesker Project and the T-Virus
Step 2: Establishment of ARK as a central command center
Step 3: Development of Elpis
Step 4: Memory transfer and forced evolution
This is the first recorded instance of a significant keyword—Elpis.
The Connections' Involvement
The following documents regarding Marcus' involvement were also discovered.
Excerpt from confiscated records:
"Receipt of Donation 1986_0138"
Recipient: James Marcus
Sender: F Foundation
Amount: $30,000,000
This document shows a suspicious flow of funds being channeled to Marcus.
Past FBI investigations revealed that the source of the funds—the F Foundation—was just one of the puppet organizations of The Connections.
(The F Foundation no longer exists.)
The Connections is a criminal organization that various government agencies have been sounding the alarm against for years. This illicit group is at the heart of all this.
Evidence suggests that The Connections sought involvement with Umbrella's central operations.
Additional documents belonging to the protégé of Marcus, Brandon Bailey, have been uncovered.
Excerpt from confiscated records:
"Telegraph Log 1988_0996"
Sender: Brandon Bailey
Recipient: F Foundation
Preparations are complete. I think it's time
they made contact with me directly, don't you?
I await a response.
This indicates that Bailey took over correspondence with The Connections, succeeding Marcus.
Bailey was rumored to be the founder of The Connections, but he may have only been a small cog in the larger machine. We now believe The Connections has had deep roots in the criminal underworld since before the 1980s.
Much about The Connections remains unknown.
Spencer's Purge
In order for Spencer to obtain complete control over Umbrella, he used force to deal with any internal opposition and influential adversaries.
A list of these individuals, seemingly prepared by an associate of Spencer's, was recently discovered.
Excerpt from confiscated records:
"Reevaluation List"
Following the CEO's reevaluation protocol, measures will be taken against these individuals:
- Cheryl Moore
- Michael Kramer
- James Marcus
.........
[OMITTED]
1990s
During this period, Umbrella continued to grow and expand through ties with the government.
The organization became so large that Spencer could no longer fully control it.
Numerous accidents plagued Umbrella facilities around the world as a result of poor management.
Furthermore, information was being leaked to rival organizations and The Connections due to moles who had infiltrated the company.
Yet despite the circumstances, Spencer was able to thoroughly protect and complete his research at ARK. The research—Elpis.
While most records regarding Elpis were lost with the destruction of ARK, a precious few remain.
Excerpt from confiscated records:
"Spencer's Message 199... [DATA MISSING]"
Tricell, H.C.F., The Family, and Umbrella.
Elpis shall bring it all to an end.
[DATA CORRUPTED]
The only information leaked about Elpis was that it had the potential to upset the military balance of the entire world.
However, a strictly managed password known only to Spencer was needed to access it.
What is Elpis?
Elpis is a powerful antiviral drug.
However, this was unknown to those who sought it.
The Connections, and other black-market groups, mistakenly thought it to be a powerful bioweapon with the potential to control human minds.
This confusion likely stemmed from the fierce competition surrounding bioweapon development.
It was common knowledge that Spencer, the developer of Elpis, aimed for the evolution and control of humanity through viral technology.
Completion of Elpis
Based on data taken from the confiscated records and changes in Spencer's behavior, we believe Elpis was completed around the mid-1990s.
After this period, the records show a marked decrease in the number of public statements from Spencer.
A similar decrease in activity was also observed at the Raccoon City orphanage.
Disturbingly, it is suspected that the children at the orphanage had long been used for Umbrella experimentation.
While Spencer frequently visited the orphanage, records indicate he stopped in the 1990s.
Furthermore, the orphanage was under the research jurisdiction of William Birkin in the late 90s.
Birkin turned against Spencer, ultimately leading to the leak of the T-Virus.
1998 - The Raccoon City Incident
The T-Virus leaked from the Umbrella research facility in Raccoon City, causing an unprecedented outbreak. In response, the government decided to launch a missile strike on the city, under the pretense of containing the spread.
However, this is where we have been misled.
The missile strike was not launched to prevent the spread of infection.
A plan was formed to disrupt the relationship between the government and Umbrella, and shift the blame for all illegal activities onto Spencer.
Found records indicate that The Connections lobbied for the missile strike.
Excerpts from confiscated records:
"Access Log: First Assembly Minutes"
ARK has been secured. Commence the missile strike.
The blame will fall solely on Spencer. With this, Umbrella will be dismantled and we'll seize their assets.
Their goal was the acquisition of Umbrella assets, particularly the thing they believed would disrupt the world's military balance—Elpis.
Due to Bailey's involvement, The Connections were aware of Umbrella's inner workings prior to the Raccoon City Incident. This set them up to swiftly secure ARK before instructing the government to carry out the missile strike.
After the Raccoon City Incident
The Umbrella Trials
As is well known, trials were held after the events of the Raccoon City Incident.
Testimony from Raccoon City survivors, along with evidence submitted by the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium, demonstrated the scope of Umbrella's nefarious activities.
Evidence against Spencer was presented at the trials by his subordinate, Albert Wesker.
It is now evident that Wesker was linked to Tricell, which in turn had strong ties to The Connections.
Therefore, it is highly likely there was pressure from the government and The Connections during the trials.
In 2004, following the outcome of the trials, Umbrella was forced into bankruptcy.
Just as The Connections and the government intended, Ozwell E. Spencer was held accountable as CEO and he disappeared from the public eye.
Acquisition of ARK
The Connections and the government seized ARK during the Raccoon City Incident.
Thereafter, ARK served as a base for the research, development, and distribution of bioweapons.
Documents believed to be transaction lists have also been seized.
These list Umbrella's competitors, along with organizations that were previously found guilty of illegal activity.
Unfortunately, most evidence was lost with the collapse of ARK. Recovery efforts continue but success is unlikely.
Proliferation of Bioterrorism
Following the Raccoon City Incident, weaponized viruses developed by Umbrella were leaked.
Subsequently, instances of bioterrorism utilizing this technology spread around the globe.
In 2013, President Adam Benford was assassinated in a bioterrorist attack. Intelligence agencies report that the president wished to reveal the full truth of the Raccoon City Incident.
It is possible that President Benford was privy to the facts revealed in this report.
Spencer's Final Years
Remaining records about Spencer after the dissolution of Umbrella are scarce, but a new source of information has recently come to light: an interview conducted by Alyssa Ashcroft.
Despite being responsible for countless atrocities, Spencer showed some signs of remorse in this interview.
Having lost everything, he sought atonement.
While Elpis is a powerful instrument that can render viral weapons inert, it also has the potential as a panacea to be used for good.
It's possible that Spencer's true motivations behind Elpis were peace and redemption.
While he remained obsessed with the evolution of humanity throughout his later years, most testimonies describe him as nothing but a senile old man.
Spencer died in 2006 at his secluded estate.
His true intentions behind developing Elpis will forever remain unknown.
Conclusion
As we can see from the records, the Umbrella Corporation's liquidation was intentionally orchestrated by The Connections and the U.S. government.
Furthermore, they were involved in the illegal development and trafficking of bioweapons in Raccoon City.
The extent to which past and present governments were involved requires further investigation.
Much about The Connections remains shrouded in mystery, and most records of their involvement were destroyed alongside ARK.
Countless lives have been lost.
As government officials, we have a duty to pursue the truth. If anything, finding it will finally offer some closure to everyone who fell victim to these heinous actions.
