MOTHER VIRUS REPORT

The Mother Virus was first discovered by Ozwell E. Spencer. And it was him, who founded Umbrella Inc.. As time passed, Spencer's research was succeeded to Dr. J. Marcus. However, Dr. Marcus abused his power and had to be fired.

Following Dr. Marcus came Dr. William Birkin. Dr. Birkin's experiments delivered many outstanding results including the T-virus. It is presumed that he will be finishing work on the more powerful G-virus in the near future.

Currently, research on the Mother Virus takes place at our laboratories all over the world. In the near future, we hope to discover many new viruses.

The Progenitor Virus was discovered by Umbrella founder Oswell E. Spencer. The research by Spencer was taken over by Dr. James Marcus, who was not extraordinarily passionate for the study. His erratic behavior became noticeable, and he was expelled from the company.

Subsequent studies would then be left to Dr. William Birkin, who has led it to its current state.

The research findings of Dr. Birkin's are well known.
He discovered the t-Virus, and furthermore also succeeded in creating the more powerful G-Virus.
Today, research on the Progenitor Virus is not only left to Dr. Birkin, it is carried out in laboratories in various parts of the world.
The potential for further developments of new virus strains will also come in the future.

アンブレラ創始者オズウェル・E・スペンサーにより発見された始祖ウィルス。スペンサー達による研究はジェームス・マーカス博士に引き継がれるが、彼のその研究に対する熱意は尋常ではなかった。常軌を逸した行動が目立つようになり、社を追放されることになる。

その後の研究はウィリアム・バーキン博士に委ねられることになり、現状に至っている。

バーキン博士の研究成果は周知の通りだ。T-ウィルスの発見、更にはもっと強力なG-ウィルスを創り出すことにも成功した。

現在では始祖ウィルスの研究はバーキン博士だけではなく、世界各所の研究所で行われている。今後は更なる新種ウィルス開発の可能性も出てくるだろう。
