In Resident Evil, But It’s Slightly Different…? (Temporary Hiatus Until The 1st) - Chapter 5
It’s been about Six months working here in the S.T.A.R.S office…
It’s honestly been the most boring six months in my life
I expected there to be action and shooting criminals and stuff! Paperwork is supposed to be for the normal officers!
I sighed, Getting back to signing off on this newest report
Necro explained to me the specifics for why I’m doing this a month or two ago
~~~ Flashback ~~~
[ Stop Complaining, This is the life you will have to deal with. At least you are earning money, right? ]
I ġrȯȧnėd “Yeah, but this is the bane of excitement! I want to shoot something!”
I had grown really attached to my guns that I bought
The shooting range turned out to be a training Dungeon as well, so my accuracy has gone from amateur to a veteran level very quickly
[ You’re going to have to deal with it Jack. You won’t have any action until the Forest and Mansion Incidents start rolling around. Police don’t just go around shooting things either. You need to chill out or I’ll erase your memories of going to the range ]
I shivered and got back to working
I hadn’t really complained much after that, but it was still quite boring to fill out paperwork everyday for 8 hours on end
To top it off, Wesker came back a week after I joined and finally told me what I was supposed to be doing
~~~ Flashback ~~~
I was standing in a small office, back straight and eyes forward
In front of me sat Albert Wesker – Captain of S.T.A.R.S, Umbrella C.E.O, Mastermind behind the T-Virus epidemic, etc…
“…So you’re the new recruit?” He finally asked me in a ‘Don’t give me any shit’ voice
I nodded stiffly “Yes sir..”
He stood up and slowly walked around me, examining my every movement
Only my training with the hologram kept me from running straight out of there
“Good. I might have made the correct choice in Recruiting you” He sat back down as I breathed a small sigh of relief
“You are to train the others in hand to hand combat in your free time, and Research anything that Barry or I sends you, is that clear?”
I nodded again “Yes sir”
“Good” He dropped a folder in front of me
“That’s your first task, tell me I made the right choice in taking you in”
I took the file and left the room, breathing out yet another sigh
“Holy shit, that was scary..”
~~~ Flashback End ~~~
The files were filled with data and random DNA sequences
I was quite sure he was secretly giving me different samples of the T-Virus data to work on when he handed me the folder, which was why I decided to start filing it away on a separate server Necro provided
I have to admit, Necro is really quite OP. He’s provided everything I’ve needed so far in this world, and for free as well
I’m sure there’s a catch to his help, but I’m going to abuse it while it’s free, and not when it costs 20000 Dollars for a piece of lettuce..
Anyways, from what I could tell – the data was only slightly different from human DNA, having a single different sequence from normal
From other various folders he’s handed me, I’ve pieced together one thing that was quite interesting
Some of this was data from someone named Alice
I don’t know if it was THE Project Alice, from the movies but it still got me thinking
‘If this is the gaming verse, then why the fuċk would Alice be here?’
Necro didn’t answer that when I questioned him, so I ȧssume it’s either a mixup or a special event for later
On another note on the folders though, I got an alert when I translated enough of the data into Necro, confirming my suspicions
~~~ Flashback ~~~
My eyes widened at that
‘STABLE T-Virus?!? What??’
[ I figured you needed some sort of power boost that isn’t too bad, so I chose one from this world. It won’t be easy to complete though, you will have to put in some effort for it ]
I got excited at that prospect
‘If I can dodge bullets and shit like Wesker, then I’ll take it!’
~~~ Flashback End ~~~
I really don’t care about losing my ‘humanity’. I lost it already when I was brought past an infinite number of universes to be dropped here with a wise cracking ancient artifact from the gods
Necro wasn’t kidding, however, when he said I needed to put in some work to get it
I was only at around 23% Completion, even after 5 and a half months of various clues that Wesker gave me for some reason
I suspect that if I want the largest percentage boost, I’ll have to either enter the Mansion and access their database, or get some samples from infected
Jill and I have been getting on quite well at the Dojo, on another note
I go down there every day, and she joins me sometimes when she’s not on shift
Jill is actually quite a nice girl to talk to
She’s a real bubbly girl, with a happy go lucky personality
It kind of saddened me that it was going to change after the incident, but it was something out of my control still
She also acted as my training partner sometimes, when she felt I wouldn’t utterly destroy her
The training Dungeon down here is honestly a little too OP…
Legit, after 4 Months I became a Senior Black Belt, unlocking the Taekwondo and Muay Thai instructors for me
It was either the grounds were OP, I was OP, and/or Necro was OP, and I was still doubting the second a little
“Jack, we got a new ȧssignment!” I was snapped out of my flashbacks as Barry walked in my office
I looked up and rose a brow “Details?”
“We’ve got a kidnapping case a little west if town near the forest that the police can’t handle themselves, we need your Forensics experience” He told me, handing me a file before leaving
I grinned ‘This should be the very start of Umbrellas schemes…’
