Alexander's Memo

My father, Edward, discovered the mother virus in cooperation with Lord Spencer, who was also a nobleman. They studied it for the purpose of military use.

Eventually their study took shape. They named a variation of the mother virus, the "T-virus". To camouflage their research, they esablished Umbrella Chemical, Inc.

I majoured in biogenetics and have been involved with a top secret project, supporting my father's research. However, my research went through a difficult phase, and my father died in the middle of the project. We are now at a majour disadvantage against the other researchers, as there is great competition in the field of T-virus research. I have disgraced the honourable name of the Ashford family that our great ancestor Veronica established.

If nothing is done, Umbrella will be taken over by Spencer. I must expedite the project to its fullest, without being detected by Spencer. After much thought, I decided to establish a large-scale advanced research facility. It will be located in the transport terminal that I created by using the abandoned mine in the Antarctic. Within the facility, I'll have a room built. It will be similar to the design of my mansion, the legacy of the late Trevor. I will be able to cherish my sweet memories there...

For security purposes, this confidential project will be given a codename. It is the same name if the beautiful ancestor of the Ashford family, "Veronica" whom I wish to receive so badly. I am confident that the result of my research will be as glorious as her name, and that honor will be restored to the Ashford family once again.
