Editing Resident Evil: Chronicles of Darkness (section)

===The Legacy of Evil===
But Wesker's death does not spell the end of bioterror. In 2010, whilst the world is distracted as the Eastern Slav Republic plunges into civil war, a bio-terrorist group calling itself Neo Umbrella is founded. Its goals are the legacy of Oswell Spencer; the viral reconstruction of the planet.

In the February of 2011, both the anti-government insurgents and the government secretly purchase bio-weapons for their civil war. Leon Kennedy is sent in once again to investigate, discovering that the result has been an almost zombie plague-like outbreak of a new strain of Plagas, as well as the release of several new Tyrant models and a small horde of plaga-infected Lickers. After taking down the leaders of both sides, the US and Russia intervene jointly to destroy all the infected and forcibly end the war.

Whilst the world's eye is focused on this, TerraSave becomes involved in the 

first major bio-terror incident since the Kijuju Incident; the Sushestvovanie Island Incident. It all starts when several members of TerraSave are abducted during a party and stranded on Sushestvovanie Island. Amongst their numbers: Claire Redfield and Moira Burton, estranged daughter of Barry Burton. 

Sushestvovanie Island was once an Umbrella-owned lab, and was responsible for the creation of the T-Phobos Virus as part of an experiment in immortality through viral memory transfer. At the time of the Incident, the entire population has either perished or been infected with T-Phobos. Imprisoned in a old prison turned experiment ground, Claire and Moira work together to escape, but are too late to prevent one of their kidnapped comrades, Gina Foley, being brutally murdered by the Afflicted who roam the island.

Fighting their way to the surface, they eventually encounter several other abductees; Gabriel Chavez, Pedro Fernandez, and Neil Fisher from TerraSave, and a little girl named Natalia Korda, a guest of honor who was saved from the Terragrigia Panic. As a mysterious individual named the Overseer taunts them all, the group steadily shrinks; all of them have been infected with T-Phobos, and Pedro succumbs in the middle of a village during an attack by hordes of Afflicted. Gabriel manages to hotwire a helicopter and tries to escape, but is killed by the Overseer. And Neil Fisher is seperated from the group.

As they continue exploring the island, they find the sole surviving native; Evgeny Rebic, an elderly man who refuses to trust them. Eventually, they learn the awful truth; Neil Fisher sold the group out in order to try and redeem the FBC. The Overseer, meanwhile, is none other than Alex Wesker, the last of the Wesker Children. She betrays Neil and infects him with Uroboros, but Claire and Moira work together and kill him.

Although the three girls manage to fight their way to the Overseer's lair, she captures Natalia and places her into a suspended animation chamber, planning on transferring her mind into the girl's by way of T-Phobos. She then shoots herself in the head, triggering a self-destruct mechanism; although Claire manages to escape, just barely, Moira is left behind.

Rescued by sheer luck, she eventually recovers some six months later and is able to pass on the island's location to Barry Burton, who travels to the island on his own in hopes of finding his daughter. There, he meets the newly awakened Natalia and the two begin exploring together; although the Afflicted have all perished, some have mutated into more zombie-like creatures called Rotten, and horrific Uroboros-spawned mutants are now roaming the island. 

Eventually, they stumble across the lair of Evgeny Rubic, dead for some time of natural causes. From his journal, they learn that he saved Moira and taught her how to survive, something that fills Barry with hope. As they continue exploring, they encounter the horrific, undead form of Alex Wesker, revived by T-Phobos due to the fear she experienced in her dying moments. Driven insane, the hag-like creature attempts to kill Natalia, ultimately resulting in a showdown in a hidden lab. There, Moira Burton makes a dramatic rescue, and with the aid of Claire, who rides to the aid on a helicopter, the last Wesker is slain, even after further mutating herself with Uroboros.

Neo-Umbrella finally begins rearing its head in the year 2012, when the Global Bioterror Attacks begin.

The first strike is on December 24th of 2012. The BSAA and Sherry Birkin are deployed to investigate the Edonian Civil War after receiving numerous reports about B.O.Ws being seen on the battlefield. Chris Redfield loses his entire squad when they are ambushed by a woman who deploys a needle bomb laced with what will become known as the C-Virus. The woman appears to be none other than the infamous Ada Wong...

At the same time, Sherry Birkin encounters a mercenary, Jake Mueller, who proves miraculously immune to the C-Virus that is rampantly consuming his fellows. Realising that he may be the world's best hope for finding an antidote, she rescues him from the battlefield. However, the two find themselves attacked by a horrific, Nemesis-like B.O.W; called the Ustanak, the hulking monstrosity chases them aboard a plane and then causes them to crash in nearby mountains. Though the duo make their way through snowy plains and abandoned mines, they are ultimately captured by the beast and brought before its master: Carla Radames. As she places them in her laboratory, she tauntingly reveals that Jake is actually the illegitimate son of the deceased Alber Wesker.

It is not until 2013 that the true scale of the Global Bioterror Attacks begins. 

On June 26th, a US Navy submarine reports an attack by an unidentified entity and then goes dark. The next day, Ada Wong infiltrates the "missing" submarine, learning about a series of terrorist attacks being orchestrated by Neo Umbrella before escaping.

On June 29th, everything starts falling together.

After six months of searching, Piers Nivans and other agents of the BSAA finally find Chris Redfield; driven into the depths of despair at having to put down his squad after they were all transformed into Nadpats, the BSAA Captain went AWOL and has spent this time drinking himself into a stupor in an attempt to dull his memories. Despite Redfield's hostility, Nivans manages to coax him into coming back to the BSAA for one final mission; to stop Neo Umbrella.

Meanwhile, in the town of Tall Oaks, US President Adam Benford is about to hold a press conference in which he will release previously concealed information about secret dealings between the government and Umbrella. Leon Kennedy is present as the president's acting bodyguard. This press conference is opposed by a secret political fraternity known only as "The Family", who have intimate ties with Neo Umbrella; when one of their agents, Derek Simmons, fails to dissuade the president from his plans, he makes plans of his own.

Blackmailing CIA agent Helana Harper by threatening her beloved sister Deborah, he forces her to trigger the release of aerosolized C-Virus, resulting in a zombie outbreak that quickly claims most of the city, including the President's life. Forced together in order to survive, the unlikely pair battle their way through the subway system to Tall Oaks Cathedral, where they find one of Neo Umbrella's underground labs. They are too late to save Deborah Harper, who transforms into a horrible C-Virus mutant.

At the same time, Ada Wong is infiltrating the lab, discovering that she was hired by Carla. Realizing that the woman is herself a bio-engineered mutant, transformed into Ada's physical double, she sets the lab to self destruct and flees Tall Oaks with plans to track her to China.

Simmons immediately uses his influence to label Leon and Helena as the terrorists responsible for the bio-terror outbreak before arranging for the city to be bombed in order to "contain the plague". Ironically, catacombs created by Simmons' family generations ago prove the key to Leon and Helena escaping the city before the bombs drop, determined to reveal the real culprit.

June 30th is when things come to a boil.

Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin manage to escape from a Neo Umbrella Research Facility in China, narrowly evading the pursuit of the enraged Ustanak.

Chris Redfield and Piers Nivans lead the BSAA Alpha Team to China's Lanshiang province, where J'avo, C-Viral super-soldiers, are rampaging through the streets of the city of Waiyip. Alpha Team perishes in an encounter with the serpentine B.O.W Illuzija, leaving only Chris and Piers to continue fighting on.

Ada Wong arrives in China's Lanshiang region to find the bio-terror in full uprising, narrowly escaping death at the biological chainsaw of the psychotic Ubistvo B.O.W.

Leon and Helena's plane to China nearly crashes when a Lepotitsa, a B.O.W that secretes cloud of C-Viral zombifying gas, emerges from hiding in the cargo bay. They manage to kill the creature and bring the plane to a landing. By sheer coincidence, they encounter Jake and Sherry, and they help the duo to seemingly overcome Ustanak.

The BSAA and the renegade agents cross paths chasing "Ada Wong", in reality Carla Radames. After a tense stand-off, they form a truce; the BSAA will seek to capture "Ada", whilst the agents will go after Simmons.

Chris and Piers chase Carla all the way to her private aircraft carrier, whilst the real Ada secretly protects Jake and Sherry from the return of the Ubistvo she had thought destroyed earlier. The youngsters reunite with the agents and confront Simmons, confirming his terrorist links. Carla betrays her former master and infects him with the C-Virus, turning him into a grotesque mutant; in the struggle to defeat him, Jake and Sherry are captured again and taken to Neo Umbrella's Seabed Laboratory.

The BSAA confronts Carla on her carrier, attempting to sabotage her plan to launch C-Virus missiles at targets across the world. Although the Family betrays and murders Carla, the BSAA's attempts to stop the launch are only partially successful; they fly to the Lanshiang city of Tatchi in a VTOL, but are unable to keep one missile from impacting the city and releasing its toxic payload.

Whilst the BSAA is preoccupied, Ada infiltrates the carrier and defeats the mutated Carla when the C-Virus resurrects her, before escaping back to the mainland.

Against this backdrop, the BSAA and the agents join forces again; Leon's handler, Ingrid Hunnican, informs Leon of Sherry and Jake's capture, sending them to the Seabed Laboratory.

On July 1st, Chris and Piers rescue Jake and Sherry, but are seperated from them and forced to do battle with Neo Umbrella's ultimate C-Viral Vector B.O.W; Haos. In the battle, Piers loses an arm, but makes a heroic sacrifice; infecting himself with the C-Virus, he sprouts a new arm capable of launching deadly blasts of bio-electricity, which he uses to help Chris destroy the monster and then send his captain to safety in an escape pod away from the sinking vessel.

Jake and Sherry, meanwhile, are confronted by the still-living form of the Ustanak; aboard a runaway underground train, they finally manage to kill the creature, escaping the crumbling lab in the process.

At the same time, Leon and Helena's battle to stop the mutated Derek Simmons comes to an end, with some surreptitious help from Ada Wong. The enigmatic Chinese spy then goes on to complete her own mission; finding Carla's hidden lab and destroying Carla's legacy.

In the wake of the attacks, Leon and Helena are cleared of all charges. Despite the tragedy he has suffered, Chris finds himself revitalized and vows to continue the fight as a BSAA Captain. Jake provides samples of his blood, which are used to create C-Vaccine, and then returns to the mercenary life.

The world has survived... but still, B.O.Ws remain a viable threat. Neo Umbrella is not done yet... nor is the amoral politicking of the Family...
