ORC backstory
(Operation Raccoon City's backstory)


"In Umbrella's Raccoon City facility, betrayer collects the last of his life's work. His name is William Birkin and he plans to sell the G-Virus to the American Government. Umbrella Security Service has been sent in to neutrolize the threat."
— In-game description

Containment, known as Blockade (封鎖 Fūsa?) in Japan, is the opening mission to Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

Plot[]

Delta team assist HUNK in the retrieval of the G-Virus sample from William Birkin. They find that he has paid off a number of UBCS mercenaries to defend his lab while he sells the virus to the US military. Making their way through the facility, the intruder alarm is activated - being Umbrella personnel, the USS has authorized access. HUNK, therefore, concludes that the alert is unrelated to their entry. Eventually WOLFPACK links up with other members of Alpha Team outside of Birkin's lab; HUNK and another member of Alpha Team then enter the lab. After they retrieve the G-virus samples, a team of US Army Spec Ops arrive. The USS agents dispatch the enemies and escape the facility via the main lift, where GOBLIN 6 prepares to meet up with HUNK up top. Before HUNK and Delta team can meet up with them however the rest of Alpha team is attacked by G-Birkin. Birkin chases HUNK and Delta team out of the lab and HUNK forces Delta to leave him so he can go back for the G-virus sample which he dropped.

  • Any character, present in team: "Alpha leader, we're in position."

Elsewhere, Alpha team leader "HUNK" receives the radio transmission.

  • HUNK: "Copy. Standby."

HUNK exits an elevator and proceeds to kill two armed guards - the first with a knife to the chest and the second with his trademark neckbreaker. HUNK proceeds to unlock the sealed door, allowing Delta team to enter.

  • HUNK: "You guys must be the new Delta Team. Report."

The following are possible remarks made, depending on who is in your team; as such, they are in no particular order.

  • BELTWAY: "Name's BELTWAY. Nice to meet ya, "Mr. Death."

  • (Female character, priority is playable one): "You mean Umbrella's T-Virus?"
  • HUNK: "No. This is a new gene-altering compound Birkin's developed called the G-Virus. It's significantly more powerful and he's in possession of the only known samples. There's a detachement of Umbrella's Biohazard Countermeasure Service on site who will likely try to protect him. They are unaware of this operation and are considered expandable."
  • (Male character, priority is playable one): "Aren't we on the same team? Couldn't we just pick up the phone and call?"
