 * Birkin searches through research documents of the Ebola virus which had been discovered in Africa.


 * Wesker notes how 90% of people infected with the Ebola virus will die, and how frightening it would be to be used as a weapon. Spencer on the otherhand, is already planning on mass-produced B.O.W.'s (Bio-Organic Weapons)
