Sealed Letter To Sergei Vladimir
Dear Colonel,
It has been so long since we last met.
Has Summer come to Russia yet?
I realize it is sudden, but I have a request that only you can handle, old friend.
You already know from the television conference the other day that a response to the incident at Arklay has been ordered.
The mail calling for the X Day Procedure has already been sent. There are stirrings behind closed doors calling for a "disposal" of the entire facility.
However, I just cannot help but feel it is a waste, what with our guardian of Crete.
I apologize for having to make this request of you, but could you fly to Raccoon and recover the prototype for me?
There is cause for the urgency of this request. Hidden forces are at work, trying to back me into a corner.
I suspect there is more to the virus outbreak and other various incidents than is suspected. The company has decided to destroy any evidence implicating their involvement.
In the current circumstances, I fear that any correspondence sent by traditional means would be monitored and so I sealed this message.
Umbrella is embroiled in a dangerous situation and these are dangerous times. This is when those who would take advantage of such misfortune will begin to emerge.
You have always been our loyal cleaner and the time when your services are needed have come again.
Happy hunting.
(unsigned, but stamped by an old seal)
Monitor Notes
An internal espionage organization within Umbrella set up to monitor suspicious activity among its employees. They are usually placed throughout the organization and maintain the image of normal employees to help them conduct their activities. There were several placed among the U.B.C.S., one of whom was Nicholai Ginovaef.
Their orders range from spying on fellow employees and destroying evidence to cleanup operations including assassinations as required. The rewards for successful operations far outweigh the risks and monitors feel no remorse for selling out or killing their supposed comrades. Rumors are that Colonel Sergei Vladimir is the one pulling the strings behind the group.
Umbrella Russian Branch Notes
This branch of Umbrella is a research lab loacted in the Caucasus region, in the south of Russia. On the surface, it appears to be a government- operated chemical processing plant, but it has been taken over by Umbrella after the fall of the Soviet Union and maintained as a front.
Umbrella built facilities beneath the surface to perform viral and B.O.W. research. It is Umbrella's newest base and serves as Sergei Vladimir's headquarters.
Emergency Orders
Emergency Orders
As of 12 A.M. today, September 9th, 1998, in provision with article 12 of the Internal Emergency Procedures, all equipment and personnel are now under the command of the Captain of the Guard, Sergei Vladimir.
His orders are to be strictly obeyed. Any attempts to disobey orders will be punishable by death.
1) This vessel is to infiltrate Raccoon City and air drop T1 into the R.P.D. police station to take care of any possible survivors.
2) The remaining Ts on board should be dropped in the P-12A Incinerator Facility. They will be able to respond to well-equipped and well-trained U.S. Special Forces in the area. We must make sure we take all necessary steps to clean them up.
3) After completing the preceding steps, this vessel is to retreat from Raccoon City airspace as quickly as possible. After releasing all of the Ts, there will be another piece of cargo to be transported. Details will follow later.
Sergei Vladimir Profile
An officer in Umbrella. During his army days, he held the rank of colonel and is still occasionally called that as a nickname. He approached Umbrella after the fall of the Soviet Union, looking for work. He is involved in Tyrant research and his experience in military affairs has made him instrumental in the founding of Umbrella's private militia, the U.B.C.S.
He shows an ardour for following Ozwell E. Spencer's orders and makes sure that even the most radical of Spencer's wishes are carried out.
Ivan Notes
A derivation of the T-103 Tyrant line that Sergei has re-engineered to act as his personal bodyguard. Its basic combat functionality is that of a T-103, but it has been modified to better assimilate into human society. In addition to the trademark T-103 defensive coat, this model is also equipped with sunglasses that include an HMD.
Major improvements with this model include greater powers of comprehension and the ability to pass as human. It is still a T-103 and as such, can transform into a Super Tyrant when the situation calls for it.
Letter From Sergei To Nicholai
Nicholai, I apologize for the delay in responding.
Your offer definitely has the potential to turn quite a profit. However, the price I had to pay was high and had to be considered carefully.
I have not changed my mind about relinquishing them. I understand that these ten soldiers I've fought alongside with are nothing more than a number, a price tag, to Umbrella.
I'm sure you are finding this all quite amusing, Silver Fox, but this is a sad day for me. I feared the day I would have to make this decision.
After all, these men were all raised by me and are a part of me. I can't help but feel reservations about turning these thinking, feeling human beings into biological weapons and cursing them to an eternity of living death.
However, I have made my decision and will not waver. Progress is always built on sacrifice. If we are to truly restore our Mother into the great country she once was, I am willing to endure any amount of suffering and a price in blood is still a small price to pay.
If I have to cut down my very body, it is a sacrifice I am willing to make. I will wail and shed tears of blood and rend every last flesh of regret from my body if it means I can usher in a new age.
My answer comrade is yes.
Silver Fox, your wish shall be granted.
Sergei Vladimir
Wesker's Notes On Differing Mutations
I have a theory on Sergei's unique course of evolution.
I had always assumed that the variety of effects the virus brings about on its host were mere random mutations. However, witnessing first-hand the effects on Sergei combined with what I know of Marcus's transformation points to a common thread between their outcomes. The host's mindset appears to influence the evolution of the virus.
Sergei mutated into a monster whose very body is the picture of suffering as he was ripped apart from the inside by thorns. I can only imagine that his transformation represents the true mindset of the person he was inside.
While I have no proof, my intuition tells me that this must be the case. If the personality of the host can truly affect the course of the virus manifestation, where does that leave me?
Sergei Monster Notes
Sergei transformed into this monster after injecting himself with a virus. The tentacles binding his arms fuse into one large tentacle. At the end of this appendage is a dangerous claw that can be used for movement or attacking.
