This strange man - Chris, led her downstairs into the lab through numerous passageways. The mansion was dead silent - nothing else alive nothing else dead. They walked through in silence , Chris eventually deciding to break this, "So Shiloh, you said you spent the night here when you were younger?"
"Yeah..."
"Did you ever find anything weird just laying around?"
"Nothing like this.... I always thought it was just a normal home..."
"Yeah that's what I thought at first."
"What the hell happened here?"
"I can't really-"
"It's the end as we know it, it really isn't worth hiding anything from me."
"You're right... We heard reports of strange creatures in the woods here, we didn't really know about the lab at first either. We thought it was just some mutation on animals. Then we got here and found the 'zombies', but there's other mutated creatures here too that are much more powerful... We quickly ran low on weapons but luckily found many around this place. When we finally got down to the labs and underground passages, we started to realize what happened. They have been conducting sick experiments here with many viruses for years. When they gained access to the T-Virus, everything changed. It was a true medical breakthrough, it's unclear if they fully knew what the consequences would be. The virus broke out and escaped. We thought we could isolate it and cover everything up - but the virus spread into Raccoon City."
"What kind of experiments did they do?"
"They were seeking what many have for years , immortality. The T-Virus can bring dead tissue 'back to life' , but with that the victims become violent and blood thirsty. If you're bitten or scratched , you'll turn too. There were other experiments done clearly... But I really don't know exactly what yet..."
"Wow..."
The two silenced themselves again, the older man leading her into one of the isolated lab rooms. He pulled out a large folder from one of the desk drawers, clearly he had been in here before. With a slight hesitation, he handed it over to her.
Right at the top of the folder read 'Project Alice X' . She quickly opened the folder, a picture of herself around the age of 4 right in the front. Her mouth dropped, fingers carefully tracing the image.
"I knew you looked familiar..."
Shiloh quickly ruffled through the papers, multiple medical files and charts she could not really decipher.
"What does this all mean?"
Choosing to answer her own question, she finally found a file that looked of importance.
Project Alice X:
Patient: Shiloh Waterson
Parent 1: Maria Waterson (Umbrella Corp.)
Parent 2: Albert ——————
Infusion: T-Virus
Notes: Shiloh's cells successfully bonded with the T-Virus. No current signs of infection - will follow up with an additional dosage. DNA has adapted to the virus, and changed its course. When activated we expect a change in strength and skill. Psionic abilities could also be expected as Project Alice has shown. We can expect incredible abilities and complete immunity to the T-Virus.
Shiloh stood in complete shock, hands shaky. She could not even fathom what this all met - Was she simply an experiment her mom wanted to keep hidden? So many thoughts raced through her head. Noticing her fear, Chris placed a hand on her shoulder, "I guess there's a lot your parents have never told you ..."
"H-How could they..."
"Hey for all we know this could just be a coincidence, you're not infected or anything you're just a normal girl."
Normal - She wondered if that word could ever apply to her again. Moving the folder to the side, a small tablet was revealed , similar in appearance to the laptop she discovered in her mother's room earlier. She placed her index finger on the keypad, the device instantly unlocking itself. A large red button appeared on the screen reading ACTIVATE PROJECT ALICE X. Reluctantly, she pressed down hard, her body instantly feeling as if she were paralyzed in place. Eyes wide open she stared out into the glass windows, her reflection showing a quick change in eye color. Her once baby blue eyes reflected the Umbrella Corporation logo for a quick second, then turning into a more pale shade of blue , almost white at first glance. Still unable to move she held her place, collapsing onto the ground with a thud.
