04. Trevor's Diary
==================
Nov. 24, 1967
Eleven days have past since arriving on this estate. How did I end up like
this? A guy in a lab coat came with a plate of skimpy meal and said to me,
"Sorry to put you through this, but it's for security reasons." That's when it
hit me. It all makes sense now.
There are only two people that know the secret of this mansion, Sir Spencer and
myself. If they kill me, Sir Spencer will be the only person that knows the
secret.
But for what purpose? It doesn't matter now. It's too dangerous here. My
family... I hope they are all right.
I've decided to escape... Jessica, Lisa, I pray you are safe.
Nov. 26, 1967
How could I be so careless? I lost my favorite lighter -- the one Jessica gave
me for my birthday. Now it's going to be that much harder to get out this dark
place.
Nov. 13th, the date when my fate was sealed. My aunt was hospitalized just
three days before that. Jessica and Lisa said that they were going to visit
her. I wish I could be there with them.
But wait, even as I'm writing my memory is coming back to me more vividly.
Just before I passed out, I remember the men in the lab coats said something
like, "Most likely your family is already..." I pray for their safety.
Nov. 27, 1967
Somehow I managed to get out that room. But getting out of this mansion won't
be as easy. I have to get past all the booby-traps. Tiger eyes, Gold
Emblem... I have to try and remember for my own sake.
Nov. 29, 1967
I can't get out. I have tried every possible way to escape but only to be
faced with the reality that I'm trapped.
I've been everywhere. The laboratory with the large glass tubes filled with
formaldehyde and those dark, wet and eerie caves... What can I do?
At first I didn't want to believe my eyes. But that familiar high-heeled shoe
in the corridor... It was like reflex. One name came to my mind, Jessica!
I don't want to believe they share the same fate as me. No! I can't give up
hope. I have to hope they're alive.
Nov. 30, 1967
I haven't had anything to eat or drink for the past few days. I feel like I'm
going crazy.
Why is this happening to me? Why do I have to die like this? I was too
obsessed with designing this ghastly mansion. I should have known better.
Nov. 31, 1967
It was a dark and damp underground tunnel. And another dead end. But even in
the darkness something caught my eye.
Carefully, I lit the last match, I had to see what it was.
A grave! But deeply engraved into the stone was my name!
"George Trevor"
At that instant, it all became clear to me. Those bastards knew from the
beginning that I'd die here and I fell right into their trap.
But it's too late now. I'm losing it. Everything is becoming so far away.
Jessica... Lisa... Forgive me.
Because of my ego, I got both of you involved in this whole damn conspiracy.
Forgive me. May god justify my death in exchange for your safety.
George Trevor
(There's something handwritten. It's not dated)
Nothing's changed.
I never thought that this room I designed as an experiment would pay off like
this.
I can hide here safely for a while, because nobody knows about the secret
behind this painting.
Not even Sir Spencer.
Painting of a mansion... In the back of the art room.
=================
05. Crumpled Memo
=================
Today Sir Spencer told me to hide something where no one could find it.
Well, I had this idea. I figured if I could somehow have it protected by a
dangerous animal like the vicious canine that lives here, no one would be able
to get near it!
As far as I can tell, the mutt is always hanging around the second floor
balcony on the west side of the terrace, and he ought to come running at the
sound of a dog whistle.
This is where you come in. The thing is, I reckon you're the only person that
can get near that damn dog without risking a serious mauling.
Which means only you can put this collar on him. The object that Sir Spencer
wants hidden is concealed inside.
You're the only person I can trust with this. Of course, you'll get something
out of it as well. Remember that certain item that you've always wanted to get
hold of?
Well, in exchange for your services, I just might be able to get it for you.
This could work out well for both of us...

BOTANY
--Uses of Medicinal Herbs--
It is a well-known fact that there exist many plants that are credited with
medicinal healing powers. Since ancient times, mankind has been healing wounds
and diseases using various plants.
In this book, we will sample three herbs that are a native of the Arklay
Mountains and briefly outline each of their medicinal qualities. Each herb has
a distinct color and a distinct medicinal quality.
The green herb recovers physical strength. The blue herb neutralizes natural
toxins. However, the red herb has no real effect by itself. We have found
that mixing green and red herbs results in a magnified effect.
We will outline the effects of red herbs when mixed with other herbs when we
have more data. Meanwhile feel free to experiment on your own, for true
knowledge is best acquired through own experience.
=================
07. Body Disposal
=================
Special instructions when disposing dead bodies.
We have new information regarding those "beings". They may appear to be dead
but in fact they are able to come back to life. However, there are ways to
prevent them from becoming active again.
Currently there are two known methods to cease their resurrection.
1. INCINERATION
2. DESTRUCTION OF THE HEAD
If further methods are discovered, they will be notified immediately.
Meanwhile to those of you who still have the will to live, oil has been placed
on the first floor of the mansion. Take as much as you need.
You'll need something to light it with, which you'll need to find by yourself.
==================
08. Keeper's Diary
==================
May 9, 1998
Played poker tonight with Scott and Alias from Security, and Steve from
Research. Steve was the big winner, but I think he was cheating. Scumbag.
May 10, 1998
One of the higher-ups assigned me to take care of a new creature. It looks
like a skinned gorilla. Feeding instructions were to give it live animals.
When I threw in a pig, the creature seemed to play with it...tearing off the
pig's legs and pulling out the guts before it actually started eating.
May 11, 1998
At around 5 A.M., Scott woke me up. Scared the shit out me, too. He was
wearing a protective suit. He handed me another one and told me to put it on.
Said there'd been an accident in the basement lab.
I just knew something like this would happen. Those bastards in Research never
sleep, even on holiday.
May 12, 1998
I've been wearing the damn space suit since yesterday. My skin's getting grimy
and feels itchy all over. The goddamn dogs have been looking at me funny, so I
decided not to feed them today. Screw 'em.
May 13, 1998
Went to the Infirmary because my back is all swollen and feels itchy. They put
a big bandage on it and told me I didn't need to wear the suit anymore. All I
wanna do is sleep.
May 14, 1998
Found another big blister on my foot this morning. I ended up dragging my foot
all the way to the dog's pen. They were quiet all day, which is weird.
Then I realized some of them had escaped. Maybe this is their way of getting
back at me for not feeding them the last three days. If anybody finds out,
I'll have my head handed to me.
May 16, 1998
Rumours going around that a researcher who tried to escape the estate last
night was shot. My entire body feels hot and itchy and I'm sweating all the
time now.
I scratched the swelling on my arm and a piece of rotten flesh just dropped
off. What the hell's happening to me?
May 19, 1998
Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat doggie food.
May 21, 1998
Itchy itchy Scott came ugly face so killed him. Tasty.
4 / / Itchy. Tasty.
=====================
09. Researcher's Will
=====================
(There is a letter.)
June 3, 1998
My dearest Alma.
Let me first apologize for not being able to call you. A man wearing
sunglasses didn't permit any phone calls. Sorry Alma.
I sit here trying to think of where to begin, of how to explain in a few simple
words all that's happened in my life since we last spoke, and already I fail.
I hope this letter finds you well, and that you'll forgive the tangents of my
pen; this isn't easy for me.
Even as I write, I can feel the simplest of concepts slipping away, lost to
feelings of despair and confusion -- but I have to tell you what's in my heart
before I can rest. Alma, please believe that what I'm telling you is the
truth.
The entire story would take hours for me to tell you, and time is short, so
accept these things as fact: last month there was an accident in the lab and
the virus we were studying leaked.
All my colleagues who were infected are dead or dying, and the nature of the
disease is such that those still living have lost their senses. This virus
robs its victims of their humanity, forcing them in their sickness to seek out
and destroy life.
Even as I write these words, I can hear them, pressing against my door like
mindless, hungry animals.
Alma, I have tried to survive only to see you again. But my efforts only
delayed the inevitable; I am infected, and there is no cure for what will
follow -- except to end my life before I lose the only thing that separates me
from them.
My love for you.
In an hour I'll have entered my eternal sleep where there is peace. Please
understand. Please know that I'm sorry.

10. Mail from the Chief of Security
===================================
CONFIDENTIAL
Attn: Chief of Security
Date: July 22, 1998 2:13
X Day is drawing up on us. Execute the following procedures within one week.
Prompt actions are demanded.
1. Lure S.T.A.R.S. to the estate, and obtain B.O.W.'s raw combat data against
S.T.A.R.S.
2. Collect two embryos of each mutated specimens as samples, excluding the
Tyrant. Dispose of the Tyrant.
3. Ensure complete disposal of the Arklay Laboratory including all personnel
and test animals. Disguise their deaths as an accident. When the above
procedures are executed, report to headquarters for further instructions.
If for some reason you are unable to execute the procedure by the deadline,
report immediately. In case of emergency situations, report directly to the
extension number 5691.
Good luck.

11. Suicide Note
================
June 22, 1998
I had to do it. We ran from those things -- helping each other to survive.
But Robert started to show the symptoms. I had to do it. Those damn things
are pure evil.
There was no other way. He would have done the same if it were the other way
around. After I put him out of his misery I had to just leave him in the
bathroom. Now I'm probably the last one...
How could this happen? I'll never forgive myself for being part of this
project. Eventually I'll get what's coming to me, though. There's no way to
escape from this nut house. It's just a matter of time now.
Everything is set. All I need is a little courage to get it done. Knowing
that I'll leave many things undone is regret beyond words.
But, this is better than just waiting to turn into one of them. Please
understand and at least let me end my life as a person.
(There's a message on the back.)
Linda, please forgive me...
===================
12. Plant 42 Report
===================
Four days have passed since the accident. The plant at Point 42 is growing at
an amazing rate.
Although there are many unknown aspects about this plant, we know that in
comparison with the other group of plants, the T-Virus has had a substantially
stronger affect on this one.
The T-Virus has drastically morphed its host's anatomy as well as its size.
Looking at its current state, it's difficult to imagine its original
appearance. Nowhere on Earth will you find anything like it.
We've also found that PLANT 42 has two main sources of acquiring its necessary
nutrients. One source is through its root. Somehow it has rooted itself down
into the basement.
Immediately after the accident, a scientist went mad and destroyed the Aqua
Ring. Ever since, the basement has been like a pool. There is a high
possibility that it's one of the chemicals in the water that's promoting the
PLANT 42's rapid growth.
However, we have yet to determine the specific chemical.
A bulb-like body of the PLANT 42 has been sighted hanging from the ceiling of
the first floor. We are sure that it used the air ducts to reach the first
floor. Numerous long tentacle-like vines are protruding from the bulb.
We believe the vines are the second means of acquiring its nutrients. When the
PLANT 42 sense prey, it uses the tentacle-like vines to capture its prey.
After doing so, suckers on the vine drain the prey of its blood.
We've also noticed that it has some intelligence. When it captures its prey or
when it's inactive, the vines twine around the door to stop possible intruders.
Unfortunately, several of our scientists have already fallen victim to this
PLANT 42. When we heard the stories from the survivors, they all observed one
thing in common:
When the uniform petal-like flaps open and reveal its vital internals, it has a
tendency to become more aggressive.
One witness reported that it was as if it was trying to protect itself. Why it
behaves the way it does is still unknown.

====================================
13. Organic Chemistry Lab Experiment
====================================
The similarities in the cellular characteristics of the rapidly growing plant
infected by the Tyrant Virus have been reported in previous papers. However,
while repeating these experiments, an interesting new fact became clear.
We learned that a chemical in the UMB family, UMB No. 20, contains a compound
that is toxic to the cells of the plant.
We have given UMB No. 20 a new name: V-JOLT. If calculations prove correct,
when V-JOLT is applied directly to the root of the plant, the entire plant
should be dead within 5 seconds.
The V-JOLT can be made by simply mixing the VP and UMB chemicals in a specific
ratio. However, extra care must be taken when handling these UMB chemicals.
They have been known to generate toxic gases if mishandled.
The characteristics of each UMB chemical are as follows:
UMB No. 3 red
Yellow-6 yellow
UMB No. 7 green
UMB No. 10 orange
VP-017 blue
V-JOLT dark brown

I feel dizzy after that shot they gave me. I don't see Mom. Where did they
take her?
She promised that we would escape together. Did she escape alone and leave me
behind?
Nov. 15, 1967
I found Mom. We ate together. I was very happy.
But she was a fake. Not my real Mom. Same face but different inside.
Have to find Mom. Have to give face back to mother.
I got Mom's face back.
Nobody can have my Mom except me. I attach her face to me so she doesn't go
away.
Because Mom sad when I meet her without her face.

16. Letter of a Researcher
==========================
June 8th, 1998
My dearest Ada.
By the time you read this letter, I will no longer be the person you once knew.
The results of my test came out today, and as I suspected, it came out
positive.
I feel like I am teetering on the edge of reason just thinking about my
impending doom. I would give anything not to have to become one of them.
As far as I know, you are not infected. I sincerely hope things do not reach
such a desperate pass, but if it has turned out that you are now the last
person remaining alive, I want you to get the material from the Visual Data
Room.
Then, activate the Self-Destruct System in the Power Room, and escape from
here. Please do everything in your power to make this whole accident public.
If everything is still running normally, you should be able to release all the
locks using the Security System.
I have set up the terminal in the small security room so that you can log in to
the system using my name and your name as the password.
You will need another password to release the lock of the door in Basement
Level Two where the Visual Data Room is located.
As a safety measure I have coded that password into an X-ray picture; a
roentgenogram. I know you, and I'm sure you will be able to work it out
without any trouble.
There is just one more thing... and it is my last request. I hope you never
have to lay eyes on me in this state, but if you do happen to run into me in my
hideous form, I beg you to put me out of my misery. I hope you understand.
Thank you, Ada.
Yours truly.
John
=========
17. V-ACT
=========
There is now evidence that when the host loses consciousness, the body goes
into a dormant state. During this time the virus becomes active and rapidly
transforms and reconstructs the basic composition of the body.
The host eventually mutated into a humanoid creature. (We call them V-ACTs)
Its speed and amazing muscular development are particularly noteworthy. After
transformation, it becomes more agile and aggressive.
Already four of our researchers have died from trying to feed it, turning the
place into an instant blood bath. (Ever since this tragic and barbaric
accident, we have decided to call its kind "Crimson Heads")
That dangerous and precious prototype specimen can't be left there. We have to
figure out a way to deal with it. Termination is definitely not an option.
We finally decided to freeze the specimen and confine the body inside the
basement of the backyard cemetery.

18. FAX
=======
To: Sanitation Division
Attn: Manager of Sanitation
From: Racoon Disaster Contingency Committee
The contents of this fax are confidential and intended for the named addressee
only. Any copying, or disclosure of the contents of this fax to any third
party is strictly forbidden by the sender.
After reading the contents of this fax, must be destroyed immediately.
We expect significant increase in the damage done by the recent T-Virus'
outbreak than initially estimated. There are several concerns.
First concern
More than half of the researchers have been infected by the T-Virus and died.
It has also been reported that almost all of the survivors of this accident are
starting to show symptoms of the T-Virus infection.
Second concern
Our Secret Security Patrol Team has also been completely eradicated.
Therefore, our most secret research is in danger of public disclosure. Quick
actions are demanded to prevent mass media coverage.
Third concern
There is a high possibility that most of the specimens are running loose inside
the compound. We expect many casualties to follow.
However yet unfortunate, these casualties underscore the success of our
research results. Actions must be taken to prevent our research results from
being made public.
We suspect the first official intervention will come from the State Police and
S.T.A.R.S. We strongly recommend taking measures against them first.
======================
19. Security Protocols
======================
LEVEL ONE
Heliport/ For executive use only. This restriction does not apply in the event
of an emergency.
BASEMENT LEVEL ONE
Passage to Heliport/ Entry is prohibited unless accompanied by a Consultant
Researcher or the Chief of Security. Unauthorized persons entering the
heliport will be shot on site.
Elevator/ The elevator stops during emergencies.
BASEMENT LEVEL TWO
Visual Data Room/ For use by the Special Research Division only. All other
access to the Visual Data Room must be cleared with Keith Arving. Room
Manager.
BASEMENT LEVEL THREE

Consultant Researcher (E. Smith, S. Ross, A. Wesker) must be present if viral
use is authorized.
Triple Lock Door/ Entry into the room is limited to the sole person who
deactivates the lock with all of the Pass Codes. Accessing the exclusive
Output Terminals located in each section of the Senior Researchers deactivates
the lock.
Power Room/ In this room nitro compound is used as the primary fuel source of
power. Access is limited to Headquarters Supervisors. This restriction may
not apply to Consultant Researchers with special authorization.
Pass Code Output Terminals/ Use and access of the Output Terminals is limited
to authorized Senior Researchers.
BASEMENT LEVEL FOUR
Regarding the progress of "Tyrant" after the administration of T-Virus...
(Illegible hereafter...)
====================
20. Observation Note
====================
The discovery of the G-Virus was in fact 21 years after the administration of
the primogenitor virus.
The "Prototype Parasite" which we had delivered from a laboratory in France was
administered to the sample specimen. The sample specimen took in the parasite
without showing any signs of adverse reaction.
The lack of any reaction was an unsolved mystery. But now everything is clear
to me now.
The "Prototype Parasite" was incubating in the sample specimen's body for 21
years. Then from that incubating state the prototype suddenly mutated.
("Evolved" may be a more appropriate word to describe it.)
This observation gave me more insight in my research. Through further
modification and testing, I was able to derive a method to create the "G" that
surpasses the performance of the "T".
This was the breakthrough that would change the future of the B.O.W.'s history.
I can't wait to see the look on Alexia's annoying face when I finally announce
my research. But unfortunately I'll have to wait a few more years to
completely verify my findings.

For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom
here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had
the same idea.
I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to
send money, so it's here for those people.
For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in
Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some
excellent progress on a few FAQs.
If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to
hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement.
My email address is fecalord (AT) gmail (DOT) com, and the paypal address is
listed below.
For those that want to contribute, you can use paypal at the following address:

Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work!
