Editing Resident Evil: Chronicles of Darkness (section)

===The Birth of Bioterrorism===
With so many of their facilities falling into chaos due to biohazard outbreaks in such a short span of time, Umbrella is haemorrhaging on a financial level. However, with the data from the outbreaks proving the soundness of their concept, they turn to illicitly selling viruses to criminals across the world, beginning the dawn of a new era in terror tactics.

Perhaps the first documented case of this occurs in the summer of 2002, with Operation: Javier. American agents Leon Kennedy and Jack Krauser are sent to South America in pursuit of Javier Hidalgo, leader of the Sacred Snakes drug syndicate. When they arrive, however, they find the village overrun by zombies and B.O.Ws.

The seeds for the Javier Incident were planted in 1991, when South American crimelord Javier Hidalgo is sold samples of the T- and T-Veronica Viruses under the suggestion that they could help save his dying wife. Although they failed to preserve Hilda's life, instead transforming her into a grotesque amphibious monster, when Javier's daughter Manuela became infected with the same disease, he put his knowledge into practice. He infected Manuela with the T-Veronica Virus and began a regime of abducting young girls, vivisecting them to provide organs to transplant into Manuela so that she would have the time to adapt to the virus rather than being overwhelmed by it. This had been what drew the US Government's attention in the first place.

In their investigation, the two agents encounter and ally themselves with Manuela, who has fled her father's captivity. During their travels, Leon explains to Krauser something on the nature of B.O.Ws and Umbrella's mutagenic viruses, talking about his own experiences in Raccoon City. Cornering Javier in his lair, the two agents and the young girl fight their way through a small army of zombified criminals and B.O.Ws, eventually confronting and defeating the mutant Hida. In the process, she cripples Krauser's arm, which he realises with dread will result in his release from service to the military.

Javier attempts to destroy the agents by fusing with an experimental T-Veronica B.O.W, the V-Complex; a massive plant that could potentially disperse the virus across most of South America. However, Manuela reveals that she has bonded to the T-Veronica in her own system, endowing her with similar flammable blood projectiles as displayed by the mutated Alexia. With her help, the two agents destroy the V-Complex and return to America.

Soon afterwards, Wesker, who had secretly observed the battle, contacts Krauser, offering him restored use of his limb and eternal battle through the power of his viruses. Krauser, already anticipating his dismissal, eagerly agrees, and soon after fakes his death in a helicopter crash.

The second major B.O.W Terrorist incident occurs on September 22nd of 2002; Morpheus Duvall, a disgraced Umbrella researcher officially blamed by the company for the Raccoon City Incident, attacks the Spencer Rain, an Umbrella-owned cruise liner, and releases T-Virus and a secret cargo of B.O.Ws aboard the ship. Once in control, he broadcasts an announcement threatening to launch T-Virus laden missiles at America and China. He had stolen the samples some four days earlier from a French Umbrella Lab.

On the 23rd, both America and China respond; US-STRATCOM agent Bruce McGivern and Chinese agent Fong Ling are deployed to the Spencer Rain, where they strive to defeat the mad agent. Eventually, they crash the Spencer Rain, conveniently close to the abandoned Umbrella facility where Morpheus worked. Although the madman doses himself with the experimental T+G-Virus, this is not enough to stop the agents, and they succeed in destroying him and his missiles.
