Just  a  little  update  on  that  last  massive  post  I  wrote  about  William/Wesker/The  G  virus +  the  old  (superior)  lore  prior  to  2009.  

I  decided to  make  this  a  separate  post  rather  than  adding  to  an  already  EXTREMELY  long  post.  So  anyway,  I   had  a  theory  about  G-Wesker  which  back  then  was  HEAVILY  suggested  via  canon  if  not  outright  stated  at  least  once  but  I  couldn’t  find  any  trace  of  this  having  existed  or  an  actual  conformation  of  this  noted  anywhere  throughout  the  wIkis  or  any  of  the  other  RE  resources  online  which  was  frustrating  AF.

But  I  was  so  certain  this  theory  of  mine  once  had  strong  roots  in  canon. (hence  the  big  explanation  I  made)  So  I  turned  to  the  old  games  &  went  through  them  all   &  finally  found  what  I  was  looking  for.  

So  the  big  TLDR  version ? Wesker  was  according  to  me  canonly  suppose  to  be  a  G  human.  William  gave  Wesker  a  perfected  sample  of  the  G virus  which  Wesker  used  on  himself.  This  was  also  why  the  G virus  used  to  be  known  as  the  “God  Virus”  &  Golgotha  didn’t  become  a  thing  it  was  canonly  referred  to  until  the  2019  Re2  Remake  to  I  guess  fit  with  the  reveal  of  the  rest  of  Wesker’s  lore  in  Re5. 

To  quote  the  summation  of  the  last  post: 

Therefore  it  all  makes  a  lot  more  sense  for  Wesker  to  have  originally  been  a  G-human  &  all  the  protoype  virus  bs  being  introduced  in  the  later  stage  games  (5-onward)  felt  really  weird.  &  IMO,  to  this  day,  its  still  better  explained  by  using  G  instead  of  brining  in  the  random  existence  of  a  “porotype”  virus.  The  stuff  with  the  Wesker  children  doesn’t  necessarily  have  to  be  removed  but  this  random  virus  that  causes  super humanity  for  a  select  few  that  apparently  Spencer  always  had  at  his  disposal  from  a  completely  unknown  origin  is  really  off  &  is  glaring  example  of  really  shitty  writing.  Also.  just  gonna  add  this;  Canon’s  idea  was  that  William  gave  Wesker  the  Prototype  Virus  &  convinced  him  to  use  it  some  how  but  again  this  is  odd  that  William  would  just  pass  it  on  to  Wesker  without  wanting  to  know  more  about  it  himself  /  it  relies  on  the  idea  that  Wesker  would  just  shoot  up  with  a  TOTALLY  random  virus  that  no  one  knew  anything  about.  Like  we  could  say  Wesker  just  trusted  William  to  that  extent  &  believed  that  hey  because  it  came  from  Birkin  it  must  be  good.  But  thats  also  kind  of  ridiculous  no  matter  how  close  the  two  of  them  were.  Wesker  was  intimately  familiar  with  these  viruses  &  Umrbella’s  research,  I  believe  he’d  trust  William’s  word  on  it  but  ONLY  if  William’s  word  was  coming  from  solid  research  like  that  he  was  doing  on  the  G  virus.  Not... Hey  buddy  here's  a  random  virus  that  no  one  knows  anything  about  feel  free  to  use  it  on  yourself.  William  wouldn’t  even  give  Wesker  something  like  that  under  those  premises  either.  Again,  we’re  talking  about  two  highly  intelligent  individuals  who  were  in  fact  trusted  friends,  who  were  very  conscious  of  Umbrella’s  betrayals.  The  canon  is  unbelievably  reckless  for  the  both  of  them  &  adds  to  the  lack  of  sense  it  truly  makes.

So  again.  If  you  replace  random  prototype  virus  with  the  G virus  this  whole  scenario  makes  way  more  sense  &  suddenly  seems  totally  plausible  IMO.  Wesker  &  William  planned  to  leave  Umbrella  together,  William  knew  all  about  Wesker’s  plans  &  though  couldn’t  step  away  from  Umbrella  at  the  exact  time  he  did  ( due  to  having  such  strong  ties,  such  as  a  family  that  Wesker  lacked  )  he  entrusted  a  sample  of  his  work  to  Wesker  before  they  parted  ways.  It  also  suddenly  makes  a  lot  more  sense  as  to  why  William  ever  injected  himself  with  the  G  virus.  He  did  so  likely  under  the  impression  it  would  actually  help  him,  however,  again  basing  this  on  my  last  post,  there  was  holes  in  the  research  of  G,  scenarios  that  hadn’t  been  tested.  William  being  so  critically  injured  at  the  time  of  G’s  injection  caused  the  virus  to  go  into  overdrive  in  order  to  repair  the  damage  done  to  its  host,  hence  stopping  William  from  bonding  with  the  virus  &  turning  him  into  a  G  mutant  rather  than  a  G  human.  That  was  the  massive  oversight  on  William’s  behalf  but  an  understandable  one  given  the  condition  /  situation  he  was  in.  Anyway  TLDR  of  the  TLDR,  my  take  on  old  resi  lore  was  superior  &  it  still  features  on  this  blog.

Also  I’ve  been  meaning  to  mention  in  regard  to  Annette  &  how  she  differs  from  William  in  his  survival  verse.  Annette  gets  so  much  shit  in  the  fandom  bc  no  one  understands  her  motives  for  how  she  behaved,  even  though  the  Remake  tries  to  make  it  more  clear  whats  going  on: Basically  Annette  was  prioritizing  stopping  the  spread  of  G  above  everything  else  because  of  guilt   &  because  she  knew  how  dangerous  G  is  &  what  would  happen  if  G  was  able  to  “freely”  spread.  ( Fortunately  for  the  whole  world,  G  wasn’t  a  quick  spreader )  Its  heavily  suggested  Annette  is  the  reason  we  don’t  see  too  much  of  G  through  the  outbreak   because  she  is  disposing  of  G-Williams  victims  before  they  can  mutate / produce  more  G. 

Personally  I  think  Annette  is  an  unsung  hero  in  RE2  because  I  do  think  she  played  a  major  part  in  containing  G.   I  know  people  seem  to  think  this  is  like,  crazy,  for  Annette  to  take  on  the  responsibility  of  stopping  the  spread  of  the  outbreak   because  obviously  one  woman  couldn’t  do  that  but  I  don’t  think  she  was  trying  to  stop  the  whole  outbreak.  It  was  G  she  was  trying  to  stop/hinder,  which  is  a  much  more  do-able  feat  again  given  G  doesn’t  spread  fast  like  T. 

Basically  Annette  takes  a  lot  more  responsibility  for  their  dangerous  research  than  William  does.  Thats  why  in  Will’s  survival  verse  hes  not  too  bothered  with  stopping  the  spread  of  G.  His  priorities  are  elsewhere.  (escaping  the  city,  finding  sherry,  fucking  over  umbrella).  Yes  he  knows  how  dangerous  G  is  but  at  that  time  its  not  his  problem. 

Which  is  a  major  difference  in  the  thoughts  &  motivators  of  Annette  &  William.  Annette  had  remorse  &  guilt  for  the  monsters  they  helped  create.  William  has  a  more  grey  take  on  it.  For  him,  its  the  same  principle  as  the  creation,  manufacture  &  use  of  guns.  Just  because  he  made  the  gun  doesn’t  mean  he's  responsible  for  how  the  gun  is  mis(used).  He  doesn’t  explicitly  intend  for  his  research  to  be  used  to  hurt  people,  though  he  knows  it  can  be,  but  that's  not  his  problem.  He’s  in  it  purely  for  the  science  of  it.  He  doesn’t  have  any  black  &  white  morals  for  what  he's  doing.  His  intentions  aren't  really  evil  but  if  his  work  is  used  for  evil  he  doesn’t  see  any  sense  in  blaming  himself  &  as  far  as  being  responsible  for  bringing  something  bad  into  the  world  he  doesn’t  see  it  that  way  either.  Again  it  can  be  used  for  bad  sure,  but  that  doesn’t  mean  it  has  to  be  bad,  it  can  be  used  for  good  just  as  easily,  &  thats  the  all  important  point  for  him.  Moreover,  if  he  doesn’t  do  it  someone  else  will. 

He’s  not  a  hero.  Or  a  really  “good”  person.  He’s  just  a  scientist.

You   know  that  tiktok  thing  where  the  girl  is  talking  about  how  casual  dudes  talk  about  trauma  /  not  seeming  to  register  trauma  as  trauma ?  thats  William  &  Annette  when  William  casually  mentions  some  fucked  up  thing  that  occurred  at  Umbrella  before  her  time. 

Anything  with  the  training  school.  Lisa  Trevor  &  almost  all  test  subjects  prior  to  1983.  

Why  do  I  think  this  would  bother   Annette  more  &  that  shes  involved  in  less  than  William  has  been  ?  Because  they  only  met  sometime  in  1983  &  most  of  umbrella’s  more  fucked  up  creations  came  before  then  for  a  start.  For  a  second  William’s  been  with  Umbrella  &  working  on  the  “top  projects”  since  he  was  16,  spent  time  in  their  personal  boarding  school”  which  was  also  a  house  of  horrors  for  at  least  a  year  prior  to  that. Furthermore  Annette  shows  a pretty  strong  revolution  toward  Umbrella  &  their  shit.  Like  I  know  she  works  for  them  but  particularly  in  the  re2 remake  &  resistance  its  made  really  clear  Annette’s  not  loving  it.  Add  that  to  pre-existing  HC  I  have  about  how  like  Annette  was  a  big  part  of  G  &  its  direction  (  ie  the  fact  the  Birkins  werent  intending  for  it  to  be  weaponised  ultimately  )  its  pretty  clear  Annette  would  be  much  less  okay  with  some  of  the  more  fucked  up  Umbrella  things  &  I  think  its  likely  there's  a  lot  she  didn’t  know  about.  Which  filters  into  my  other  hc  post  about  how  I  think  Annette’s  strong  involvement  in  &  influence  over  William’s  work  was  a  factor  in  Umbrella’s  aversion  toward  William  ever  having  a  position  of  power  in  the  company.  So  I  often  wonder  if  Annette  knew  about  Marcus  &  his  assassination. I  have  feeling  she  didn’t  somehow  or  if  she  did  it  wasn’t  something  she  came  to  learn  about  until  nearing  the  time  when  her  &  William  decided  to  leave  Umbrella.  🤔

So  I  dug  up   this  post   which  I  made  based  on  a  old  post  I  made  back  in  the  day  prior  the  reveal  of  the  “Porotype virus” Because  I  talked  to  Cam  recently  about  G /  Project  W  &  we  came  to  conclude  that  project  W  was  kinda  like  a  weird  last  minute  lore  change  according  to  us  bc  our  brains  are  big  &  it  really  made  a  lot  of  aspects  of  Umbrella  &  the  research  going  on  within  the  company  irrelevant/unnecessary  &  that  just  feels  weird  to  us   in  the  grand  scheme  of  things.  There  is  still  very  little   known  info  on  the  “Wesker / prototype  virus”  where  it  come  from,  who  developed  it,  ect,  which  just  adds  to  the  oddity  of  this  in  canon.  This  is  a  big  canon  divergent  thought  post  for  me  &  the  workings  of  G.  Dont  worry,  this  doesn’t  have  to  be  followed  by  anyone  else  cos  its  just  an  old  theory  I  stick  to !  Again  this  is  mostly  cos  Cam  ( @infxction​ )  &  I talked  about  it  being  a  thing.  This  is  my  theories  on  the  lore  of  Resident  Evil  prior  to  re5  not  canon  to  RE  in  2021.  

So  going  back  before  Project  W  became  a  thing  canon  was  doing,  it  seemed  to  be  heavily  suggested  Wesker  was  a  functional  “G  human.”  Why  you  ask ?  Wesker  showed  every  ideal  property  associated  with  what  G  was  suppose  to  be  able  to  achieve.  I.e  it  was  meant  to  create  a  super  human  or  a  “G  human”,  a  human  being  who  was  exceptional  among  others  with  ideal  traits  being  anti-aging  properties  &  advanced  regenerative  properties.  The  Resident  Evil   answer  to  Captain  America,  in  a  sense.  This  was  the  ideal  outcome  of  G   &  what  is  suppose  to  happen  when  a  human  properly  merged  /  stabilised  with  G. Not  to  be  confused  with  a  G  mutant,  which  is  the  imperfect  result.  In  this  scenario  the  G  virus  doesn’t  properly  merge  with  the  human  host  for  whatever  reason.  The  most  obvious  example  we  have  of  this  is  William’s  unfortunate  canon.  In  William’s  case   this  could  have  been  due  to  his  severe  injuries  /  near  death  state  upon  injection,  causing  G  to  instead  mutate  /  become  overactive  in  desperate  attempts  to  repair  its  host,  rather  than  properly  merging  with  said  host.  

It  is  interesting  to  note  however  that  William  is  exceptional  as  a  G  mutant  “canonly”  because  despite  the  undesirable  mutations,  William  held  on  to  his  intelligence  &  linguistic  abilities  for  WEEKS*  after  being  infected & mutated.  Its  noted  in  research  notes  in  the  remake  that  the  handful  of   test  subjects  who  were  infected  with  G  were  unable  to  retain  intelligence  or  linguistic  abilities.  The  longest  recorded  case  of  a  subject  being  able  to  hold  on  to  their  humanity  was  a  few  days.*

HOWEVER,  if  I’m  not  mistaken  these  titbits  were  exclusive  to  the  Remake  &  not  found  in  the  original.  I’m  pretty  sure  these  test  subjects  didn’t  exist  in  the  original.  Like,  I’m  pretty  sure  the  whole  thing  with  the  orphanage  was  remake  exclusive  so  I  also  wanna  note  that  said  test  subjects  were  in  fact  kids  from  the  orphanage,  which  could  also  serve  to  explain  why  the  results  of  their  infection  were  not  remarkable.  Children  are  still  developing  right ? Its  possible  the  reason  G  mutated  them  is  because  its  hosts  weren’t  fully  developed,  destabilising  G’s  ability  to  fuse  with  the  host.

Which  of  course  is  all  entirely  my  own  theory  /  speculation  if  I’m  left  to  make  sense  of  why  G,  something  that  was  promoted  as  being  able  to  do  remarkable  things  to  the  human  body,  had  such  unremarkable  results  on  all  its  test  subjects.  Like,  wouldn’t  this  work  AGAINST  the  research  being  done  on  G.  If  every  single  time  they  tested  this  thing  out  it  resulted  in  failure ? This  makes  everything  G  was  promoted  to  do  a  fuckin  fantasy  which  is  you  know,  not  good  science,  hence  my  beef  with  the  Remake  &  the  later  RE titles  after  like,  Resi4.

Because  AGAIN  this  wasn’t  a  thing  until  the  remake.  The  introduction  of  the  orphanage  & the  child  experiments  are  remake  exclusive.  I  once  made  a  post  saying  I  didn’t  like  the  addition  of  the  child  test  subjects  in  the  remake  &  because  I  didn’t  write  a  post  this  big  to  elaborate  on  why  folks  assumed  it  was  because  I  was  trying  to  de-evilize  William & Annette’s  research  but  nah  I’m  just  an  old  school  stan  &   most  importantly  it  doesn’t  really  make  sense  as  explained,  * unless  I  make  sense  of  it  my  own  self  by  inserting  my  own  personal  headcanon.  Get  good  resident  evil  lore !! 

So  going  back  to  the  original  I  don’t  believe  it  mentions  any  substantial  human  test  subjects  for  G,  beside  Lisa  Trevor.  ( It  should  be  noted  that  as  far  as  the  original  re/umbrella  lore  is  concerned  there  were  very  few  human  test  subjects  in  existence  despite  the  length  of  time  &  depth  of  research  conducted  on  the  virus(es).  Which  meant  a  lot  of  capabilities  for  these  Viruses  were  theory  based,  not  practise  based.  Because  even  though  Umbrella  was  an  evil  shit  hole  that  WAS  carrying  out  human  experimentation  it  wasn’t  being  done  to  the  extent  or  mass  as  some  might  assume.  Test  subjects  were  few  &  far  between  &  successful  products  of  experiments  were  cloned,  such  as  the  hunters  & tyrants *. The  remake  changed  this  a  bit  by  introducing  the  orphanage   &  bolstering  up  the  number  of  accessible  human  subjects  Umbrella  had  at  its  disposal ) Anyway,  Lisa  Trevor  is  all  important  to  G  because  within  Lisa  is  where  G  was  discovered  &  most,  if  not  all,  of  G’s  capabilities  are  based  on  what  it  did  for  Lisa.  So  rewinding  to  Lisa  for  a  second...  Lisa  was  one  of Umbrella’s  original  human  test  subjects.  They  tested  basically  everything  on  her  &  she  was  remarkable  because  she  alone  did  not  die  in  spite  of  the  extent  of  the  experiments  done  to  her.  Originally  they  tested  the  Progenitor  virus  on  her  which  typically  resulted  in  brain  damage  as  was  common  of  the  Progenitor  virus  ( a  trait  that  carried  over  into  the  T  virus ),  reducing  her  mental  capacity  to  an  extreme  degree.

William  had  started  experimenting  on  her  when  he  was  introduced  to  her  at  16.  At  this  time  she  was  25,  had  already  undergone  extensive  experimentation  &  wasn’t  very  functioning  as  a  human. Though  she  just  wouldn’t  die.  Eventually,  by  the  time  he  picked  up  experimenting  on  her  some  years  later,  she  was  pretty  much  unable  to  even  walk  by  herself  her  mental  functions  were  so  low.  HOWEVER  that's  where  the  big  break  through  comes.  William  injected  her  with  an  NE-type  parasite  (The  thing  responsible  for  Nemesis,  that  was  being  produced  to  try  &  combat  some  of  the  mental  degradation  caused  by  the  T-virus )  &  though  the  parasite  completely  disappeared  from  her  body,  Lisa  began  to  regain  brain  function.  She  became  mobile  again  & her  brain  damage  was  repaired  to  such  an  extent  she  began  to  speak  again  (though  not  well,  it  was  still  a  massive  thing!)   So  what  caused  all  this  in  Lisa ?  G.  Or  an  early  version  of  it.  It  had  incubated  in  her  largely  dormant  body  for  years  &  became  its  own  thing,  something  that  was  protecting  her,  giving  her  an  advanced  immune  system  &  regenerating  her.  It  accounts  for  why  Lisa  had  been  so  impossible  to  actually  kill.  Why  she  kept  living  in  spite  of  everything.  When  the  NE  parasite  entered  her  body,  G  fully  activated  went  on  the  defensive   &  absorbed  the  parasite.  This  meant  that  Lisa  was  left  largely  unaffected  by  the  parasite &   the  only  side  effects  had  been  positive (ie,  restoration  of  her  mental  ability).  Beside  a  few  retractable  tentacles  which  were  common  influences  of  the  NE  parasite,  Lisa  was  also  largely  unmutated  beyond  what  had  already  been  typical  of  her.   Unfortunately  though  the  improvement  of  Lisa’s  brain  functions  made  her  insanely  dangerous,  coupling  this  with  her  super  human  strength,  Umbrella  made  the  decision  to  have  her  disposed  of.  Fortunately  for  William  though  he  was  already  able  to  isolate  “G”  from  Lisa’s  body,  pitched  it  to  Spencer  highlighting  its  incredible  properties  for  promoting  literal  super  humanhood  &   wham.  The  NEST  was  made,  William  was  inserted  as  founder/chief  researcher  of  G. So  why  was  Spencer  interested  in  G  as  an  eugenics  thing,  as  the  Birkin’s  were  largely  focused  on,  as  opposed  to  a  bio  weapon,  if  he  already  had  a  working  super human  serum  floating  around  &  what  THE  FUCK  was  was  William  doing  with  it  lmao.

The  only  explanation  I  have  is  that  Spencer  took  interest  in  G  due  to  the  hyper  selectivity  of  the  prototype  virus  but  that  still  leaves  a  lot  of  loose  ends,  imo.  Like  why  would  William  have  this  Prototype  Virus  &  like  the  whole  little-to-nothing  about  the  prototype  virus  being  explained  at  all.  Its  just..  There.  Works  on  Weskers  only.  Alright.

It  also  makes  things  weird  for  G  because  its  so  conflicting.  One  minute  G  is  a  finished  product  &  the  finish  product  is  supposed  to  basically  make  better  Steve  Rogerses,  but  yet  G  is  NEVER  shown  making  functioning  G-humans  &  only  ever  G-mutants  which  makes  it  flawed  &  makes  you  wonder  why  two  incredibly  smart  people  like  William  &  Annette  were  obsessed  with  it  & still  promoting  its  eugenic  properties.  They  TRULY  BELIEVED  it  was  able  to  create  G-humans  but  why  would  they  if  every  time  they  experimented  with  it  it  failed ?  Why  would  they  call  it  complete  if  it  was  still  not  living  up  to  its  expectations ?  

G  is  also  NEVER  utilised  this  way  in  the  series  again.  Even  with  Annette  &  William  out  of  the  picture  I’m  suppose  to  believe  no  one  else  was  ever  interested  in  using  G  to  “advance”  the  human  race  by  combatting  illness/disease/old  age.  No  one  else  ever  thought  to  capitalise  on  these  properties ?  Even  if  G  WASNT  complete  why  does  RE  want  me  to  believe  no  one  else  out  there  couldn’t  have  continued  research  &  completed  it  ? Especially  when  they  had  Sherry,  who,  though  she  was  technically  an  incomplete  G-human,  she  possessed  the  main  desired  components  of  a  G-human  &  that  being  her  anti-aging  properties   &  highly  advanced  regenerative  properties.  The  only  reason  I  can  think  for  this,  basing  on  my  own  thoughts  here  is  that  maybe  because  G  was  rendered  Impure  after  the  Raccoon  city  (Ie,  all  the  pure  G  samples  were  destroyed  &  the  only  sample  of  G  left  was  the  mutated  sample  from  William’s  remains  or  the  “incomplete”/muted  sample  from  Sherry.  But  still,  I  think  it  could  have  been  reproduced. But  I  digress,  putting  aside  all  those  questions &  going  back  to  the  original  implications  of  the  old  games,  we’re  gonna  function  with  the  idea  that  G  was  complete   &  G  was  what  Wesker  actually  infected  himself  with.  Hence  why  William  was  in  possession  of  it. More  evidence  that  backs  this  up  is  the  fact  that  if  you  search  Wesker’s  “body”  you’ll  find  on  him  one  of  William’s  research  notes,  which  is  basically  talking  about  his  findings  with  G  /  hopes  for  G.  (what  it  actually  says  depends  on  translation,  but  that's  the  gist)

Theres  also  the  fact  the  only  sign  of  mutation  in  Wesker  was  his  eyes. Which  just  so  happen  to  be  a  direct  match  to  G-mutant  eyes,  especially  in  the  original  reeditions  of  them.

So  I  already  know  this  is  probably  gonna  seem  a  little  crack  headed  to  some  regardless  to  how  I  explain  it  & it  totally  is  for  what  we  know  as  canon  now,  but  it  worked  COMPLETELY  for   what  was  canon  prior  to  the  remakes  /  later  stage  games.  Yet  at  the  same  time  I  still  think  it  works  &  explains  things  better  than  what  canon  ultimately  went  with. To  also  cover  some  things  about  Wesker/why  he  didn’t  mutate  into  a  G-mutant:  He  injected  the  virus  a  while  before  the  mansion  incident.  Perhaps  giving  the  cells  time  to  actually  stabilise  within  his  body.  Being  impaled   &  rendered  unconscious  triggered  the  Virus  to  activate,  healing  him  completely.  Throughout  the  series  viruses  have  shown  a  tendency  to  work  differently  on  their  hosts  depending  on  whether  they’re  conscious  or  unconscious.  Typically,  unconscious  victims  have  better  /  stronger  results.  Alexia  was  able  to  tap  into  this  fact  by  injecting  herself  with  T-veronica  &  then  putting  herself  into  cyrosleep  so  the  virus  could  bond  with  her  better  over  a  slow  period  of  time. 

Why  did  Sherry  show  signs  of  mutation  previous  to  being  vaccinated ?  To  me  thats  one  of  G’s  flaws.  William  wasn’t  a  G  human,  he  was  a  G  mutant.  Its  a  fact  that  G  is  more  affective  on  hosts  who  are  a  genetic  match  to  the  original  G  host,  which  kinda  makes  sense  if  you  think  about  it  in  a  way  like,  when  preforming  blood  transfusions  you  cant  just  use  any  blood,  it  has  to  match  the  original  body,  G  seems  to  have  similar  properties  in  the  fact  that  in  order  to  be  successful  in  spreading  it  needs  a  similar  genetic  make  up  to  its  original  host.  

Sherry's  signs  of  mutation  could  have  been  simply  because  William,  a  G  mutant  was  her  source  of  infection,  not  a  pure  sample  of  G.  Point  being  that  G’s  “reproductive”  capabilities  are  not  flawless  &  that  is  the  big  flaw  of  G  beside  the  fact  that  it  has  the  capability  to  produce  a  G  mutant  in  the  first  place.  That  mutant  version  of  it  that  exists  when  the  virus  cant  correctly  fuse  on  a  cellular  level  with  its  host  is  very  limited  in  its  ability  to  spread.   Sure,  it  can  parasitize  other  humans, &  produce  other  G  mutants  but  these  are  more  flawed  than  the  G  mutant  that  came  before  them  because  unless  their  genetic  make  up  is  similar  to  the  original  these  second  generation  G  mutants  are  already  defected   &  their  own  offspring  are  entirely  infertile.  One  of  the  big  differences  in  a  G & T  is  that  T’s  able  to  spread  through  direct  fluidic transmission, ( commonly  scratches  &  bites )  & this  is  an  extremely  effective  &   fast  way  to  spread  itself  which  is  why  T  was  such  a  successful  bioweapon,  it  does  massive  damage  really  fast.  G  doesn’t  spread  this  way,  but  rather  through  asexual  reproduction.  The  flaw  with  T  is  that  its  easily  perishable  &  causes  brain  damage  in  its  hosts.  Therefore  controlling  it  was  hard/impossible.  Destroying  the  head  of  a  T  infected  host  kills  it  &  it  doesn’t  mutate  past  a  certain  point  meaning  it  can  also  be  damaged  to  the  point  of  death  fairly  quickly.  G  was  different  in  the  fact  that  though  it  doesn’t  have  the  rapid  spread  rate  of  T,  its  a  lot  harder  to  kill  because  it  keeps  mutating  &  repairing  almost  any  damage  done  to  its  host.  You  can  smash  a  G-mutants  head  & like...  It’ll  grow  another  one  rather  than  die,  lol.  Its  also  extremely  smart  &  uses  its  hosts  intelligence,  rather  than  destroys  it.  That  gave  it  good  capabilities  as  an  advanced  bioweapon  but  again,  the  Birkin’s  ultimate   &   preferred  intentions  weren't  really  to  weaponize  it  as  such. Therefore  it  all  makes  a  lot  more  sense  for  Wesker  to  have  originally  been  a  G-human  &  all  the  protoype  virus  bs  being  introduced  in  the  later  stage  games  (5-onward)  felt  really  weird.  &  IMO,  to  this  day,  its  still  better  explained  by  using  G  instead  of  brining  in  the  random  existence  of  a  “porotype”  virus.  The  stuff  with  the  Wesker  children  doesn’t  necessarily  have  to  be  removed  but  this  random  virus  that  causes  super humanity  for  a  select  few  that  apparently  Spencer  always  had  at  his  disposal  from  a  completely  unknown  origin  is  really  off  &  is  glaring  example  of  really  shitty  writing.  Also.  just  gonna  add  this;  Canons  idea  was  that  William  gave  Wesker  the  Prototype  Virus  &  convinced  him  to  use  it  some  how  but  again  this  is  odd  that  William  would  just  pass  it  on  to  Wesker  without  wanting  to  know  more  about  it  himself  /  it  relies  on  the  idea  that  Wesker  would  just  shoot  up  with  a  TOTALLY  random  virus  that  no  one  knew  anything  about.  Like  we  could  say  Wesker  just  trusted  William  to  that  extent  &  believe  that  hey  because  it  came  from  Birkin  it  must  be  good. But  thats  also  kind  of  ridiculous  no  matter  how  close  the  two  of  them  were.  Wesker  was  intimately  familiar  with  these  viruses  &  Umrbella’s  research,  I  believe  he’d  trust  William’s  word  on  it  but  ONLY  if  William’s  word  was  coming  from  solid  research  like  that  he  was  doing  on  the  G  virus.  Not... Hey  buddy  here's  a  random  virus  that  no  one  knows  anything  about  feel  free  to  use  it  on  yourself.  William  wouldn’t  even  give  Wesker  something  like  that  under  those  premises  either.  Again,  we’re  talking  about  two  highly  intelligent  individuals  who  were  in  fact  trusted  friends,  who  were  very  conscious  of  Umbrella’s  betrayals.  The  canon  is  unbelievably  reckless  for  the  both  of  them  &  adds  to  the  lack  of  sense  it  truly  makes.  Anyways  I  think  I’ve  talked  enough  so  I’m  gonna  end  this  here.  If  you  made  it  this  far  congratulations !!  Thank  you  for  entertaining  my  BS,  even  if  only  temporarily.

His  lab  was  the  only  place  he  could  think  to  go  now  ━  he    couldn’t    stay  down  in  the  sewers  but  then  he  couldn’t  say  which  was  more  risky.  Crawling  around  down  there  like  an  oversized  rat  or  scuttling  back  to  his  lab,  an  Umbrella  owned  facility  knowing  they  had  just  executed  his  wife,  making  their  contempt  for  him  entirely  obvious.  

The  NEST  had  already  begun  to  slip  into  chaos.  Evacuations  had  started,  apparently   there  had  been  a  viral  leak  here  too  ━  but  how ?  Had  Annette  caused  it  in  her  rampaging  state ?  No  matter,  the  researchers  who  weren’t  already  succumbing  to  the  infection  were  trying  to  escape  ━  or  hide,  whichever  one  of  the  two  proved  most  doable  at  the  time.  He’s  avoided  most  of  them,  slipping  into  his  lab  &  sealing  the  doors  behind  him.  Now  that  he's  here  he  can  breath  a  small  &  shallow  sigh  of  relief.  

There's  no  way  he  could  stay  here  &  he  knows  that,  but  he  feels  a  little  safer  sealed  inside.  He  begins  the  task  of  going  through  the  drawers  &  picking  out  files  that  could  be  of  use  to  him  ━  if  he  could  make  it  out  of  here  he  was  going  to  need  something  to  hurt  Umbrella  with ━  there  was  just  no  way  he  could  let  them  get  away  with  it  all. 

Compiling  them  together  in  one  large  folder  he’s  caught  off  guard  by  the  distinctive  chiming  of  the  doors,  a  tune  that  lets  him  know  access  had  been  granted  by  an  outside  force.  There  wasn’t  many  people  who  had  access  to  his  lab  like  that,  it  was  him,  Annette  or  maybe  someone  else  from  Umbrella  ━  another  USS  unit  perhaps ?  

Approaching  footsteps  &  panic  over  takes  him  as  he  reaches  for  the  handgun  holstered  at  his  side  as  he  moves  to  crouch  down  behind  the  island  counter  for  shelter.  Though  he  doesn’t  think  it’s  going  to  do  him  a  world  of  good  it  was  something. Calling  to  the  mysterious  person  he  can  only  hope  despite  all  likelihood  that  this  wasn’t  another  Umbrella  operative  &  that  he  wasn’t  completely  screwed.  ❝  Stay   right  there !  Don’t  come  any  further !  ❞

Piers :  / /  Biosnipe

Relax. How was he supposed to take deep breaths and relax when he was stuck on a table, constrained. How was he supposed to calmly allow himself to be drugged, not knowing when or if he’d wake up again? 

“Wait, wait! I shouldn’t be here. I’m not a BOW, I’m a BSAA agent!” Yelling his title could either be helpful or backfire terribly, depending on who this guy worked for.  Piers could handle being tortured if it came to that, but he couldn’t do a single fucking thing if he was knocked out. He had a feeling everyone here thought he was basically dead since he managed to wake up in the first place—a mistake that wouldn’t happen twice.

That, or someone really messed up the medication measurement and was probably getting fired.

There was also a solid chance that this wasn’t new information, that this doctor was already aware of who he was, or at least his higher ups were. The worse outcome he could possibly think of was that this was the BSAA, but just the cold inside of a lab that Piers would have never had reason to step into. He hoped with every fiber of his being that his Captain wouldn’t have let them do that, that he would have killed him himself like Piers had begged earlier, but there was no way of knowing what fucked up world he had awaken to.

He had to think quick though, because he was in no shape to fight and in no position to barter.

He tried anyway.

“What if—what if I let you do whatever you were going to do, but you let me stay awake?”

Poor  guy.   As  far  as  he  can  tell  he  doesn’t  really    seem  to  comprehend  the  position  that  he's  in.  Though  this  doesn’t  seem  to  frustrate  the  Doctor  at  all.  Honestly,  if  anything  it  was  probably  to  be  expected  given  his  circumstances  were  among  the  most  extraordinary.  The  suggestion  sounds  like  a  good  idea  of  course  but  he  remains  hesitant.  Unwilling,  even.  He  knows  what  someone  like  Piers  might  not.  After  all,  viruses,  especially  those  designed  &  engineered  under  the  direction  of  Umbrella,  were  not  as  simple  as  one  might  think.  A  virus  was  a  biochemical  mechanism  that  transformed  the  body  on  a  microscopic  level  to  suit  their  own  unique  needs.  The  viruses  William  had  spent  his  life  engineering  were  capable  of  doing  this  on a  far  gander  scale.  

He  takes  a  moment  to  move  one  of  the  small  wheeled   stools  from  its  place  off  to  the  side  of  the  room,  sliding  it  over  to  sit  on  it  at  Pier’s  side.  As  strange  as  it  was  to  hold  an  entirely  human,  coherent  &  decidedly  friendly  conversation  with  someone  he  had  no  choice  but  to  have  strapped  to  his  examination  table  in  such  a  conflictingly  dehumanising  way,  he  wants  to  remain  giving  the  impression  of  being  a  fellow  human  who  could  be  spoken  to  &  reasoned  with.  It  was  in  his  best  interest  to  keep  this  illusion  up.  ❝ Its  not  that  simple. ❞ 

❝ The  problem  we’re  facing  is  that  your  body  isn’t  your  own  anymore.  You’re  now  sharing  it  with  another  intelligent  organism.  Which  means  I  could  poke  you  with  this,  sure -- ❞  he  says,  gesturing  to  the  needle  he  was  going  to  use  before  placing  it  back  down  on  the  table  beside  the  two  of  them. ❝  --- But  Its  likely  that  the  parasite  now  living  inside  your  body  won’t  differentiate  between  pain  and  malicious  intent,  and  the  last  thing  either  of  us  wants  is  for  it  to  become  agitated.  If  you  sleep  then  so  does  it.  Do  you  understand ?  ❞

He’s  not  lying.  Of  course,  he  hasn’t  had  a  chance  to  do  any  examinations  yet  so  this  was  all  theory  &  caution,  stemming  from  the  G virus  that  he  knew  very  well.  It  had  been  a  factor  in  creating  this  new  abomination  that  some  smart  assed  louse  had  decided  to  mix  with  lady  Alexia’s  own  depute  into  the  world  of  highly  tailored  monster  viruses.  Once  he’d  be  disgusted  at  the  thought &  perhaps  a  twitch  of  annoyance  still  floats  in  the  back  of  his  mind,  but  he  can  now  allow  himself  to  be  a  little  more  impressed  by  what  the  young  Ashford  had  actually  accomplished  all  those  years  ago.  Hell,  even  by  what  had  been  accomplished  by Miss “Radames“  herself.

Albert :  / /  Infxction

     RUN.

     The only thought that stood out to the man in his current state. Between how weary he was, the panic and adrenaline, his grief at the state of his home…not much of relevance was going through his mind. Certainly nothing coherent. He’d been on a blind run for hours now, barely able to recall where it began.

    The mansion took its toll on all the remaining survivors in STARS, the abominations within leaving scars that may never heal. The worst part was no one even believed them. If only they had humored them, taken precautions…but it was too late for what ifs. The city was lost, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to see that. The outbreak hit hard and fast, two thirds of the city turned overnight and Raccoon City plunged into pure, unadulterated chaos. Abominations and atrocities against nature roamed the streets. 

    At the beginning, Wesker had led strike teams of officers through the city. Brad had done the same, leading a group downtown to locate survivors and aid in evacuation. They lost contact with Brad’s unit by the afternoon. Similarly, Wesker’s unit was terminated - a creature with one eye had appeared on a rooftop, and crashed down into the street near his team. Before Wesker could even process it, the officers nearest him opened fire, and the monster tore them to shreds.

    He himself was treated like a ragdoll. Thrown around, smacked against buildings, shot at- the thing could use weapons. It was intelligent. Knowing he had no chance, Wesker was prepared to go down swinging, when Brad rounded the corner, badly hurt; the monster uttered a single phrase before chasing him down and leaving Wesker behind. STARS. So it was after his team. Albert tried to stand, to give chase, but to no avail; he was forced to retreat to the station, to treat his wounds.

    But he was cut off. A monster that looked strikingly like a lizard had jumped him as he neared the gates, and though Albert put it down, the noise drew plenty of unwanted attention. He had to turn the other way and continue running. Running away from his last option of a securite location.

    Now he found himself charging through back alleys. Left hand clutching his right side, running with a limp. Right hand gripping his Samurai Edge so tightly his knuckles had gone white. Finger ready on the trigger. Blood dripped to the ground behind him, leaving a trail of crimson; his glasses were cracked, revealing a hint of the blue hues that sat concealed behind them. Panic flooded his entire being. Where should he go? What should he do? He was running out of options.

    A name sprung to mind. William. Clever, scholarly William. He helped create these monsters - surely he had some fallback plan? Some means of dealing with them more effectively? Perhaps even an antigen, to save these people? That solidified an objective in his mind. Let him ground himself. A quick change of direction set him running towards the Birkin household. He knew William was unlikely to be there; he was more often in the lab, after all. But Al didn’t know how to reach the laboratory William currently worked in, and his home seemed the best option. Oh, how he hoped he’d be there.

    Upon arrival, the man wasted no time. He was weakening, vision becoming blurred. Rapid knocks on the door, much more than a hint of urgency. “William- it’s Albert! Are you in there? Will!” His strength was fading. It was all he could do not to slump against the door; the cyclopsian creature had nearly done him in, that he got this far amazed him in itself. His tone was distressed, far from the cool, level-headed Wesker most would be used to. “William, I need you- open up!”

@inviral​​ Dream team? Dream team!

He  made  it  to  the  house  not  so  long  ago  in  the  hopes     of  locating      Sherry.  To  his  dismay  however  she  wasn’t  here.  She  was  probably  headed  to  the  RPD  like  her  mother  told  her  to  do  should  anything  go  wrong. Go  wrong  now  being  an  understatement.  Annette  was  gone,  the  G  virus  was  gone   with  her  &  Umbrella’s  dirtiest  secrets  were  turning  the  city  into  a  living  hell.   While  he’s  here  he's  turned  the  bedrooms  upside  down,  rummaging  through  drawers,  closets  &  even  under  the  beds.  He’s  realised  of  course  this  was  all  for  nothing,  obviously  his  sweet  girl  had  taken  her  locket  with  her.   It  was  a  birthday  present  after  all  but  she  didn’t  know  just  how  valuable  it  truly  was.   He’s  left  slumped  against  her  bed  as  the  soul  crushing  thought  of  her  demise  dawns  on  him . . .  Who’s  to  say  she  ever  made  it  to  the  RPD ?  It  had  only  been  a  matter  of  hours  but  it  was  obvious  the  T-virus  was  doing  exactly  as  it  had  been  designed  to  do,  spreading  &  expunging  all  humanity  in  sight,  leaving  nothing  shambling,  blood  thirsty  husks  in  its  wake.  She  was  only  a  little  girl  &  the  RPD  was  a  lot  further  away  than  her  school  had  been,  a  place  she  would  often  walk  herself  of  a  weekday morning. 

Frustrated  &  squeezing  a  fistful  of  his  hair  in  his  hands  an  anguished  whimper  escapes  him.  Surely  he’s  killed  them  both;  it  was  all  his  fault, but   such  a  grim,  self  loathing  notion  does  not  say  with  him  long  as  the  knock  on  his  front  door  pulls  him  to  his  feet.  He’s  quiet  until  he  hears  the  voice  &  then  he  gives  a  sigh  followed  quickly  by  disbelief  welling  up  in  his  eyes.  That’s  Albert’s  voice.  Despite  his  involvement  with  the  RPD,  William  doesn’t  think  twice  about  doing  as  he's  asked,  runshing  across  the  house  to  let  him  in.  After  all,  he  was  hardly  Umbrella   anymore  ━  at  least  not  as  far  as  he’s  concerned. 

The  door  swings  open  &  for  a  moment  it  would  be  a  toss  up  between  who  of  the  two  of  them  looked  to  be  more  physically  &  emotionally  dishevelled  ━  not  that  William  paid  any  mind  to  such  a  thing  ━  the  fact  was  he  was  almost  relived  to  see  the  other  man,  no  matter  the  state  he  may  have  been  in.   ❝ Come  in,  hurry -- ❞

He’s  practically  dragging  through  through  the  door  so  that  he  could  get  it  shut,  paranoid  what  else  had  followed  him.  Almost  all  of  these  things  were  drawn  to  sound,  having  generally  poor  eyesight.  It  was  typical  draw  back  of  the  T-virus,  but  a  keen  sense  of  smell  &  sharp  hearing  made  up  for  it  more  than  enough.

He  didn’t  come  this  far  only  to  be  shot  but  of  course    Umbrella  were  tenacious.  They  weren’t  just  gonna  give  up  &  let  him  get  away.  It  all  happened  so  fast.  The  hot  searing  pain  in  his  side  &  Wesker . . . He  wasn’t  sure  if  the  bullet  wound  made  him  woozy;  if  it  was  just  the  lightheaded  daze  a  rapid  loss  of  blood  had  caused  him  or  if  that  everything  he  had  just  seen  was  completely  real. 

They’re  not  shooting  anymore.  In  fact  he’s  quite  sure  none  of  them  are  breathing  anymore.  That  would  be  a  bigger  relief  if  not  for  the  unfortunate  bullet  wound  they  had  left  him  with.  His  hands  clutch  at  his  side,  blood  seeping  through  his  fingers.  His  white  shirt  &  coat  probably  made  it  look  worse  than  it  was,  so  easily  stained  with  the  wet  contrasting  red  that  the  materially  greedily  absorbed  in  excess.    

Keep  pressure  on  it,  keep  pressure  on  it.  Its  all   gone  awfully  quiet,  all  accept  for   Albert’s  steady  footsteps,  followed  by  a  voice  of  what  he  could  have  sworn  was  concern.  That  too  could  have  been  put  down  to  blood  loss.    ❝  I’m  --   I’m  fine - -  How  did  you - -  ?  You  were  so  fast  . . .  ❞

It  only  makes  sense  that  Umbrella  was  trying  to  find  out    what  the  hell  was  happening  in  Raccoon  city  after  the  major  screw  up  from  their  first  USS  team.  He’d  like  to  say  their  failure  had  been  a  success  for  him  but  that  was  in  no  way  the  case.  No  one  was  coming  out  of  this  winning,  not  now.  His  only  solace  was  in  the  idea  that  Sherry  would  be  safe.  She  was  with  that  cop  last  he  saw  them  &    he  promised  he  would  get  her  out  of  here.  William  believed  him,  almost  as  if,  in  some  way,  it  was  his  very  purpose.  

He  wasn’t  sure  he  believed  in  cosmic  bullshit  like  destiny  but  either  way  he’s  lost  any  will  to  argue  about  it.  He’s  here  only  because  he  knows  that  his  prolonged  survival  kept  Umbrella’s  attention  away  from  his  daughter.  Which  was  the  same  reason  why  he  couldn’t  be  with  her  right  now,  as  much  as  he  wanted  to.  Still,  he  couldn’t  stay  in  Raccoon  city  so  when  he’s  found  he  doesn’t  try  to  escape  or  to  resist.
