July 14th
Orders came from the boss today.
Looks like we're in charge of investigating the remains of the Arklay Mountains laboratory.
We're moving in two groups, with us as the initial group, assigned to stand checking what's left of the abandoned experiment.
July 16th
Unfortunately, the test production of the B.O.W. (Type–Y139) had to be suspended because of this investigation.
It's the same with the Type–Y139. There's still so much we don't know about responses to the crustacean t–virus. There's a lot of interesting research left...
Depending on the species and nurturing conditions, only minute doses of "t" bring about remarkable changes in solidity, size, multiplication of internal toxins and brain development. If these effects can be controlled, a weapon could be produced.
But the sudden development of the shell results in corresponding fragility. Certain areas become exceedingly weak.
Problematically, one of these areas is the head carapace.
This lab we are going to–Were they pursuing the same research? It would certainly help to find data and samples that help us in our research.
July 19th
The day is finally approaching... I am growing more anxious.
The Raccoon City newspapers and TV stations are full of reports about the bizarre murders in the suburbs.
It can't be the virus. Can it? If it is...
No, I can't think of that now. I have to concentrate on this investigation and make sure it runs smoothly.

今日、上司から指示があった。
アークレイ山中の研究所跡の調査が必要になり、我々が担当する事になったらしい。
移動は二班に分かれ、先発隊は遺棄実験体や廃棄物の調査を始めているそうだ。

残念なのは、この調査のために、試作BOW「type-y139」の研究を、一時的にでも中断せざるを得なくなった事だ。
「type-y139」もそうだが･･･
甲殻類のt-ウィルスに対する反応は 未知の部分も数多く残されており、研究対象として、実に興味深い。
極少量の「t」の投与でも、種類や育成環境によっては、全身の著しい硬質・巨大化、体内毒素の異常繁殖、知能の発達など、うまく制御すれば兵器として成立しうる変態要素を兼ね備えているのだ。
だが、急激な甲殻の発達は、同時に強度の低下という問題も引き起こす。特定の部位については、意外な程に弱くなってしまうのだ。
その部位が、頭部の外殻だという事も、大きな問題と言える。
目的地の研究所でも、同種の研究を行っていたのだろうか？
研究データやサンプルなど、以後の実験のヒントになりそうなものがあれば良いのだが。
7月19日
予定の日が近づくにつれて、不安が増す･･････。
ラクーンシティのTVや新聞は、連日のように郊外で 発生している猟奇殺人事件を報道しているらしい。
まさかとは思うが、ウィルスが？
だとすれば･･･。
いや･･･、今は考えてもしかたがない。調査を予定通りに進められるよう、準備に専念しよう。
Passenger's Diary
July 14th
Today we received instructions from the boss.
An investigation at the site of the laboratory in the Arklay Mountains is needed, and it looks like we're the ones in charge of it.
We'll move in as two teams, with the advance party investigating abandoned experiments and waste first.
July 16th
Unfortunately, in order to continue the investigation, research on the prototype B.O.W. "type-y139" had to be temporarily suspended.
Even "type-y139"... There's still so much we don't know about crustacean reactions to the t-Virus. It's such an interesting subject to study.
Analysis[]
The file is from the perspective of an Umbrella researcher from another laboratory (presumably the Underground Research Facility)[Note 1] who is set to investigate the remains of the abandoned training school laboratory. He expresses curiosity over what was being researched in the past, as well as concern over Umbrella's connection to the recent homicides in Raccoon City.
The file also teaches the player how to defeat the Stinger by aiming for its weak point on its head.
The English version of the game contatins a translation error. It claims the diary is written on June 19, however, a direct translation from the Japanese version indicates this should read July 19.[1]
