Operation: Emperor's Mushroom

Emperor's Mushroom was an operation conducted by the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, under the direct supervision of Nicholai Ginovaef. It was conducted on the grounds of Raccoon University.

Plan
The plan for the operation was for the UBCS team to enter and distract the experimental Tyrant model known as Thanatos, allowing Ginovaef to obtain a sample of the creature's blood.

That part, at least, went as planned. The team engaged Thanatos in the University's Back Square, and allowed Ginovaef to plant an extrator on it's back, draining an amount of it's blood into a capsule.

At that point, though, things got out of control. Thanatos slaughtered the ground team and escaped before the blood sample could be retrieved.

Outcome
The operation was a failure. The blood sample was taken by survivors and used to synthesize the Daylight vaccine. Ginovaef destroyed the main building of the university as ordered, and all evidence of the mission was wiped out in the missile strike that consumed the city.
