In 1998, the events of the Ecliptic Express Incident (as depicted in Resident Evil 0 and The Umbrella Chronicles), Mansion Incident (as depicted in Resident Evil and The Umbrella Chronicles), Raccoon City Destruction Incident (as depicted in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil Outbreak, Resident Evil Outbreak File #2, The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles), Rockfort Island Incident (Resident Evil CODE:Veronica) and Sheena Island incident (Resident Evil Survivor) take place.


Undated

  • Joseph Kendo presents the original prototype of the S.T.A.R.S. handgun to Brian Irons and the S.T.A.R.S. team. The design is met with approval, though a few further modifications are requested.[citation needed]
  • Phase 2 of testing begins for Kendo's S.T.A.R.S. handgun design. The design is tested by four members of Alpha team: Chris Redfield; Jill Valentine; Barry Burton and Albert Wesker. [citation needed]
  • At some point before 15 March, Dr. Al Lester visits the abandoned hospital in the Arklay Mountains, and begins feeding it to make it grow. It rapidly grows and takes over the building. He names this plant "Dorothy". Dr. Lester is mutated by contact with t-JCCC203, and begins murdering animals and people to feed the plant.
  • The Queen Leech, having gained the memories of Dr. James Marcus in the ten years after consuming his body, now believes itself to be Dr. Marcus, and plans to attack Umbrella facilities in vengeance.
  • The Raccoon City Zoo comes across news of delinquents and hoodlums destroying toys and memorabilia of Raccoon City mascot Mr. Raccoon for "target practice", leading them to publish a public advertorial campaign against the trend.

March

Sunday 15 March: A botanist explores Raccoon Forest and finds the ruins of the Arklay hospital, believing it to be a dilapidated house of some kind. Inside, he finds Dorothy, which he believes to be an unrecorded species of tropical, insectivorous flowering plant.[1]

Wednesday 18 March: The botanist returns to the hospital with his friend Rick to collect samples, and the two set up camp within the building. They tell no one of their trip, cautious about competition.[1]

Thursday 19 March: "Dorothy", the mutant plant, locks the botanist and Rick inside the hospital by tightening its vines around the storage room door.[1]

Friday 20 March: Hope dwindles for the botanist when he breaks his mobile phone, cutting him off from any rescue. Rick starts to suspect they are being watched, but the botanist passes this off as hallucinations. They are able to create a herbicide with chemicals in the Pharmacy, but though they have success in harming Dorothy they are killed by Dr. Lester.[1]

April

Thursday 2 April: The Daily Raccoon publishes a report on Raccoon City's rivers and sewers being found to be dangerously polluted, far exceeding environmental regulations.[2]

Monday 6 April: The secretary to Police Chief Brian Irons writes in his journal about verbal abuse from Irons, after he accidentally moved a stone statue.[3]

Tuesday 7 April: Chief Irons' secretary begins to question how he can afford the art collection which has been accumulated over the years and placed around Raccoon Police Station.[3]

Saturday 25 April: Umbrella is close to completing the Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A, a facility designed to process biological waste from viral weapon tests. Its managing director is assigned to oversee the facility on this day, and celebrates his 30th birthday.[4]

May

Saturday 9 May: A poker game is hosted at the Arklay Laboratory's recreation room. The lab's animal keeper plays with security guards Scott and Alias, and a lab worker named Steve. Steve wins, but the animal keeper suspects he is a cheater.[5]

Sunday 10 May: Brian Irons purchases a portrait of a nude woman being executed, which is hung in the Raccoon Police Station's operations room. His secretary writes his disgust of the artwork and Chief Irons' taste.[3] At the Arklay Laboratory, the animal keeper is assigned to feed a pig to an unknown B.O.W. test-subject he describes as looking like a skinned gorilla.[5]

Monday 11 May: The Arklay Laboratory reaches the final phase in the Tyrant Project, and infects the test subjects with the ε strain t-Virus before performing surgery. At least two candidates survive the process: T-002 and T-011. During this process, the Queen Leech causes the ε strain to leak out into the facility, though the manner is unexplained.[Excerpt 1] By 0500 the staff are made aware of the accident and don HazMat suits to protect from exposure; Scott wakes people up and hands them these suits.[5]

Tuesday 12 May: The animal keeper begins exhibiting signs of t-Virus infection, which he assumes is due to the uncomfortable conditions of the HazMat suit. Frustrated, he decides not to bother feeding the Cerberus B.O.W. subjects.[5]

Wednesday 13 May: The animal keeper is told by the Arklay Laboratory's on-site GP he doesn't need to wear the HazMat suit anymore. His back is showing signs of necrosis, but this is passed-off as a result of being in the suit and bandaged.[5] Meanwhile, an Umbrella prisoner begins writing a journal about his time at the concentration camp on Rockfort Island, which he understands to be somewhere in the southern hemisphere.[6]

Thursday 14 May: At the Arklay Laboratory, the animal keeper's leg begins rotting, causing difficulty in moving. He discovers some of the Cerberus test subjects have escaped following his insufficient feeding.[5] Meanwhile, work is completed at Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A, though the managing director is critical of the overall reliability of a corrosive gas used to process biomatter.[4]

Friday 15 May: The animal keeper discovers that telephone privileges have been rescinded, and he is unable to contact his partner, Nancy. Later that day, a lab worker tries to escape the facility via the helipad elevator, and is shot dead by the security guards to prevent the spread of Epsilon.[5]

Saturday 16 May: The animal keeper realizes his sores are actually necrotic flesh.[5] At the concentration camp on Rockfort Island, the Prisoner learns that his bunk mate, Robert Dawson, used to be a secretary for Alfred Ashford, 7th Earl Ashford, who is the camp commandant.[6]

Sunday 17 May: An unexplained accident at the Arklay Laboratory's dormitory building causes a Monster Plant to bloom. Its vines dig deep underground, where it begins to feed from the Aqua Ring, flooded when a lab worker ruptured the tank.[7]

Tuesday 19 May: The keeper's mental state deteriorates as a result of Epsilon infection, and writes in his journal about eating dog food to quell his hunger.[5]

Wednesday 20 May: The manager at the P-12A plant is inadvertently locked into the treatment room, which he finds cannot be opened from the inside even with his security pass.[4] Nearby, the body of a 20-year-old woman washes up on the banks of the Marble River in Cedar, having been killed by the escaped Cerberuses in an attack so severe that two arms and her left leg were removed.[8][Excerpt 2] At the Rockfort Island concentration camp, Dawson is taken out of his bunk by the guards to the medical cabin. He becomes concerned when he hears claims from other prisoners that body bags are frequently taken out of the building after prisoners are taken away by the guards.[6]

Thursday 21 May: The animal keeper meets Scott, who has also psychically deteriorated from Epsilon infection. He kills him and eats part of his body.[5] Meanwhile, Dr. Henry Sarton writes a report on Plant 42, a Monster Plant that has grown since an accident four days prior and has already consumed the blood from several victims who tried to destroy it.[7] At the Rockfort Island concentration camp, the Prisoner sneaks out to the medical cabin and finds the camp doctor torturing him with vivisection without anesthesia.[6]

Wednesday 27 May: The Raccoon Times reports a police press release regarding the coroner's report of the woman killed on the 20th. She is deemed to have been a mountaineer killed by a grizzly bear or similar large animal due to the power and ferocity behind the wounds, and her body washed downriver to Cedar.[8] A the Rockfort Island concentration camp, the Prisoner is now the only one left in his cabin following the murders of the other bunk mates.[6]

June

Monday 1 June: A Raccoon City newspaper publishes an article written by Alyssa Ashcroft, which accuses Raccoon Zoo's Deputy Director, Elliot Martin, of illegally obtaining rare Orchids.[9]

Wednesday 3 June: Dr. Martin Cluckholm writes a letter to his wife Alma. Many of his co-workers at the Arklay Laboratory have turned into Zombies and, knowing he is infected, he intends to kill himself to prevent it.[10]

Monday 8 June: Dr. John Clemens, the Arklay Laboratory's Chief of Research, writes a letter to his girlfriend, Ada Wong, instructing her to destroy the facility if she ever returns.[11] Meanwhile, Brian Irons' secretary begins to fear for his safety.[12]

Wednesday 10 June: The Raccoon Today publishes a story referring to an art ring, which as supposedly sold items banned from auction and so the police plead that the buyers list down their newly-bought items. Unbeknownst to them, Brian Irons has bought many of the items for his private room.[13]

Monday 15 June: Chief Irons' secretary writes one last time in his diary, writing on his discovery of Irons' secret.[12]

Tuesday 16 June: Raccoon Weekly publishes a story related to the increasing deaths in the Arklay Mountains. Once theorized to be grizzlies, eyewitness reports instead suggest vicious wild pack dogs are responsible.[8]


Monday 22 June: An Arklay Laboratory employee trapped in the dormitory building writes a suicide note to a woman named Linda, having drowned his friend Robert for showing signs of Epsilon infection. He then hangs himself in an attempt to prevent Zombification.[14]

Sunday 28 June: Don, an employee at Umbrella's sewer facility near Raccoon Police Station, comes in to work displaying symptoms of t-Virus infection.[15]

July

Tuesday 7 July: Chief Brian Irons comes to his weekly meeting with Dr. William Birkin. He becomes highly stressed at the doctor's seemingly impossible requests.[15]

Thursday 9 July: The Raccoon City Police Department has a number of roads to the Arklay Mountains closed due to the number of murders; animal attacks and missing persons cases in the area. During this, the police make public their intentions to have S.T.A.R.S. investigate the area, which continues to be reported as a hotbed of activity for "mysterious creature" reports.[8]

Tuesday 14 July: Dr. William Birkin and Dr. Albert Wesker, charged with the re-opening of the Umbrella Executive Training Center, send a team to investigate the facility. They are split into two groups, with the first having orders to search for any surviving experiments and check for bio-waste.[16]

Thursday 16 July: One of the investigation team members writes his regrets of being assigned, as work on the Stinger has been temporarily halted.[16]

Sunday 19 July: The investigation team member hears about the recent incidents in the outskirts of Raccoon City, and is disturbed as the possibility a t-Virus strain was responsible, the incident at the Arklay Lab being kept a secret.[16]

Tuesday 21 July: The manager of Umbrella's sewer facility complains about working the night shift, as it prohibits him from drinking.[15]

Wednesday 22 July: Aware that S.T.A.R.S. will be sent to investigate the area, Umbrella HQ sends a fax to Dr. Albert Wesker, giving him orders to lure the force to the mansion and allow them to be killed by rogue bio-weapons and Zombies as a means of gathering combat data.[17] The same day, Marine Second Lieutenant Billy Coen's court martial ends with him being found guilty of the murders of twenty-three civilians by his unit in an African village. For this crime, he is sentenced to death.[18]

Thursday 23 July: Umbrella's private train, the Ecliptic Express, is attached shortly after 8PM by leeches while transporting the second investigation team to the executive training center. The passengers and crew are infected, and the train comes to a hault.[18] Nearby, 2LT Coen escapes from captivity when the MPs are killed by leeches, and takes shelter in the train.[18] Meanwhile, the first investigation team is set upon by leeches at the training center and, attacked by Cerberuses at the front door, are forced to travel to an abandoned factory via a cable car.[19][20] Drs. Birkin and Wesker order the USS Delta Team to commandeer the train.

Two hours after the initial attack on the Ecliptic Express, S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team crash lands in Raccoon Forest.[18] While searching the area, Rebecca Chambers and later Edward Dewey get on board the Ecliptic Express while Delta Team restarts it. RPD helicopter pilot Kevin Dooley is killed in his cockpit,[21] and the other Bravo Team members escape into the Spencer Mansion. During the journey, Dewy turns into a Zombie, and Delta Team is infected by leeches, forcing Chambers and Coen to work together to prevent a train crash. They arrive at the executive training school, itself infested with Zombies and escaped B.O.W.s.

Friday 24 July: In the early hours, Chambers and Coen search through the training school and make their way to Dr. James Marcus' derelict underground laboratory. Coen is attacked by an Eliminator and falls into an underwater river, sending him to the water treatment plant. In the meantime, the survivors of the second investigation team are attacked by more leeches when Queen Leech attacks the water treatment plant.[20] Chambers arrives at the factory to find Enrico Marini is also investigating the area, but she continues on her own and, after fighting the Proto-Tyrant, journeys to the water treatment plant where she rescues Coen. During this, Dr. Wesker heads out through the factory, intent on searching the executive training center while Dr. Birkin makes preparations to destroy the entire complex; he fights the Proto-Tyrant as well during his search.[22] The Tyrant heads to the water treatment plant, where it is finally killed by Chambers and Coen, who soon run into the Queen Leech itself and fight it. During their fight, Dr. Birkin activates the self-destruct system as Dr. Wesker fights one of Col. Sergei Vladimir's custom-made "Ivan" T-103 bodyguards in the training center, but the only death is Queen Leech itself, which is killed in the explosion. Chambers and Coen part ways, and she heads over to the Spencer Mansion to search for Bravo Team.[23]

In the evening, Chambers is discovered sleeping in the dormitory by Richard Aiken. They start searching through the complex for Captain Marini, but fail.[24] During their search, they spot Col. Vladimir and his Ivans carrying the T-011 test subject out of the mansion.[24] While exploring the second level of the mansion, Aiken is bitten by the Yawn and poisoned.[24] Meanwhile, the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team investigates the Bravo Team crash site for any clues as to their whereabouts. When they are attacked by Cerberuses, losing Joseph Frost, they locate the house and go inside for safety.[21] During the investigation of the mansion, they find Kenneth J. Sullivan dying from a Zombie bite wound,[25] and Forest Speyer having mutated into a Zombie on a balcony. Chris Redfield finds Chambers in the west storeroom,[26] while Jill Valentine and Barry Burton stick together. Unbeknownst to the others, Cpt. Wesker has forced Burton to destroy incriminating material on his behalf on the threat of his family's lives. Aiken's fate is uncertain.

Saturday 25 July: During the early hours, Cpt. Marini is shot by Cpt. Wesker, having discovered during his investigation that Umbrella planted a mole within S.T.A.R.S., but failed to identify them.[27] Entering the lab, Cpt. Wesker infects himself with a prototype t-Virus strain, hoping to fake his death and hand over the lab's bio-weapons data to the Organisation rather than to Umbrella as was originally the plan. When the other four arrive in the lab, he releases the T-002 Tyrant and is impaled on its claws.[28][28] T-002 chases the S.T.A.RS. members to the helipad, where it is killed by a rocket launcher, and they escape on the Alpha Team helicopter back to Raccoon City. Meanwhile, Cpt. Wesker discovers the bio-weapons computer data has already been copied and wiped by Col. Vladimir. With no time to gather live samples as the facility begins to self-destruct, Cpt. Wesker uses his new abilities to race through to the mansion, where he fights Lisa Trevor. After Trevor is subdued, Cpt. Wesker escapes the explosion thanks to his enhanced speed.[29]

Wednesday 29 July: The P-12A Plant director discovers that the antiretroviral drugs used by the staff to protect themselves from t-viral infection are now useless against a new mutation in the virus. The staff are now infected, and the director keeps a handgun with him at all times, ready to commit suicide.[4]

August

Saturday 1 August: The Daily Scoop reports on Joel Clemens' bid for the upcoming Mayoral election, claiming to have a solution to unemployment problems left-over from the early 1990s recession.[30]

Wednesday 5 August: Sergant Nikolai Zinoviev, a Monitor planted within the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, reports to Umbrella HQ on the recent developments following X-Day. Though it appears the destruction of the Arklay Laboratory and subsequent wildfires wiped out all trace of the t-Virus, he urges caution. Sgt. Zinoviev also reports on his spying on the S.T.A.R.S. survivors, and understands they are planning to go public on the Mansion Incident.[31] Meanwhile, on Sheena Island, a worker at the newly-operational Tyrant mass-production facility writes in his journal his disgust at the violent manner he is required to extract B Hetero Nonserotonin, a hormone needed for the T-103 culture, and how the island's governor, Commander Vincent Goldman, has no sympathy for the teenagers abducted and killed for the process.[32]

Friday 7 August: Valentine writes in her diary of her emotional condition. She is still having nightmares involving zombies.[33]

Saturday 8 August: Redfield talks with Chief Irons about the Mansion Incident. As all evidence of Umbrella's wrongdoings was destroyed along with the Arklay Laboratory and mansion facade after his escape in July, they cannot be charged with any crime.
