Memo on the Founding of Umbrella

Lets start with the first file in RE history thats written by Ozwell E. Spencer himself! He writes about the founding of Umbrella. Highlight the text to read it.

Umbrella was founded in 1963 by three partners. Myself, my good friend Edward Ashford and preeminent virology expert Dr. James Marcus.

We all shared a common goal from the outset. We believed that virus research would play an important role in improving people's health. One day, it would even help to build a society free from the ills of decease.

The Umbrella logo is a symbol of our unwavering pledge: preserving the health of the people. Technology is the umbrella that will serve that purpose. Thanks to everyone's support, our company has grown and the Umbrella logo is recognised and trusted throughout the world. For 40 years we have followed our principles and delivered safety and peace of mind to medical facilities and homes.

I would like to thank our loyal shareholders, employees and customers for their invaluable contributions to our continuing success. Unfortunately, both Edward and James have passed on in the course of this last year. While i mourn their loss, i feel their shining example lives on in the work we do every day. I know they would be proud if they see Umbrella now.

We at Umbrella will continue to do our best to spur new innovation and make the world a better place for everyone. Humanity's future is safe under our Umbrella.

We appreciate your continued support.

Umbrella Corporation Founder,

Ozwell E. Spencer

Virus Memo

Wesker theorises that the personality of the host can determine the violence of the mutations when infected, and wonders what that says about himself. Highlight text to read.

We go way back, so I hope you forgive me cutting the formalities. I don’t have much time. I must describe how to use the item in question.

The sample you have been given is from one of the mutation stocks. It possesses a unique characteristic. It should be injected into the host at least five minutes before needed. The results are almost immediate, but they do require a few minutes to completely take effect.

Even in death, as long as some portion of the host remains, the virus can reconstruct the rest, and bring it back to life. During this process, there is a brief period where the host appears, for all intents and purposes, dead.

In experiments with animals, 70 percent of the subjects grew more powerful as a result of this resurrection. Their muscular and circulatory systems far exceeded those they had possessed in life. This virus has been designed to conquer death. Twenty percent came back to life, but with none of the beneficial side effects present in the primary group. The remaining 10 percent remained dead.

In other words, there was a 90 percent revival rate. The virus has not been used on a human yet, but that is soon to change.

I’m not sure how this will help, but I’m sure you will put it to good use! Good luck.
