Letter from Sergei to Nicholai

''Nicholai, I apologise for the delay in responding. Your offer definitely has the potential to turn quite a profit. However, the price I had to pay was high and had to be considered carefully.''

''I have not changed my mind about relinquishing them. I understand that these ten soldiers I’ve fought alongside with are nothing more than a number, a price tag, to Umbrella.''

''I’m sure you are finding this all quite amusing, Silver Fox, but this is a sad day for me. I feared the day I would have to make this decision. After all, these men were all raised by me and are a part of me. I can’t help but feel reservations about turning these thinking, feeling human beings into biological weapons and cursing them to an eternity of living death. However, I have made my decision and will not waver. Progress is always built on sacrifice. If we are to truly restore our Mother into the great country she once was, I am willing to endure any amount of suffering, and a price in blood is still a small price to pay. If I have to cut down my very body, it is a sacrifice I am willing to make. I will wail and shed tears of blood and rend every last flesh of regret from my body if it means I can usher in a new age. My answer, comrade, is yes. Silver Fox, your wish shall be granted.''

Sergei Vladimir
