LABORATORY DIRECTOR BRANDON'S DIARY
1998
November 16
The lab's to be shut down.
Oddly enough, I don't really feel like I care.
Come to think of it, I felt the same way when I heard the Arklay Laboratory and Raccoon City were annihilated.
I wonder how long I've been like this?
I devoted every waking day to nothing but extracting and studying the Progenitor Virus.
It was all for Dr. Marcus.
...That's right.
Ten years ago, from the day I heard the doctor was dead, I became numb to everything.
No anger, no joy, no surprise, just a daily routine of isolating the Progenitor Virus and shipping it to each of Umbrella's laboratories.
I was a mere machine, evaluating research results my subordinates brought and reporting anything that could be of use to headquarters.
I'm already dead.
And soon, this lab where I've spent half a lifetime will be gone.
I no longer have any regrets.
I guess it's about the right time.

研究所所長ブランドンの日記
1998年
11月16日
研究所が閉鎖されることになった。
不思議と、どうでもいい気分だ。
そういえば、アークレイ研究所とラクーンシティが消滅したと聞いたときも同じような感じだった。
こうなってしまったのは、いつからだろうか？
始祖ウィルスの抽出と研究に明け暮れた日々。
全てはマーカス博士のためだった。
......そうだ。
十年前、博士が亡くなったと聞いたあの日から、私は全てに対して鈍感になった。
怒ることもなく、喜ぶこともなく、驚くこともなく、ただ始祖ウィルスを抽出し、アンブレラの各研究所に送る日々。
部下がもってくる研究の成果をただ評価し、使えそうなものは本社へと報告するだけの、ただの機械だ。
私はすでに死んでいた。
そして、私の半生をかけて育てたこの研究所ももうすぐなくなる。
もう、未練はない。
そろそろ潮時だろう。

RESEARCH CENTER DIRECTOR BRANDON'S JOURNAL
November 16
We've closed down the research center. It's strange, but I don't really care. I'm indifferent to the whole thing. I feel the same way as when I heard that the Arklay facility and Raccoon City were destroyed. When did I become so apathetic? I've spent every waking moment research and extracting the Progenitor virus. Everything I did was for Dr. Marcus.
Actually, when I think about it, I probably stopped caring the day I heard he had died all those years ago.I didn't feel angry or happy or even shocked; I felt nothing at all. It was as if all my emotions just shut down. I just kept sending out samples of the Progenitor virus to all of Umbrella's laboratories.
I was just an automated machine reporting to Umbrella's headquarters every time one of my subordinates made a breakthrough or discovered something new. I was like a zombie ambling through life. No thoughts, no feelings.
And now the Research center where I've spent half my life is closed.
I really don't care one way or another.
It's probably all for the best.
Perhaps it is too late to have any semblance of a life again.
