Raccoon City was in the news earlier this year when a series of
unusual murders rocked the community. These were apparently
unmotivated slayings, of extreme violence, and several involved
cannibalism; already, tentative connections are being made by
local press near Raccoon between the eleven unsolved murders

point is that it doesn't seem to have been airborne, and that the
final result was rapid cellular disintegration and death; we still
don't know if it was bacterial or viral, or what the symptoms were,
but we won't rest until we've exhausted all of our resources.
Whatever the findings, and whether or not Umbrella materials
were a part of it, we're committed to seeing this through to the
