Transcript[]

Master Alex,

It has truly been an honor and a blessing to have served under you these past few decades. I consider myself lucky to have been witness to your scientific genius and your vision of the future. The world does need order, and I believe it is you, and only you, who is capable of accomplishing this feat. I, as well as the other researchers, are all bonded together in this belief.

To ensure your survival, we have worked tirelessly to complete the transfer procedure. The vessel we have selected is without fault. I have every confidence that the procedure will go flawlessly. To come this far, we've had to make countless sacrifices. My faith in your vision is resolute, so I prepared myself to shoulder the mental and emotional burdens of the sins that I would be committing. But I do believe that before your plan can succeed, we must first atone for our sins.

So I have taken the necessary steps for atonement. The remaining researchers have all been dealt with. And I, too, shall soon follow. This will also help you to perform the procedure without any distractions.

On behalf of those who have served faithfully by your side, we are grateful for the opportunity to help you accomplish your ambitions.

Eternally your loyal servant,
Stuart

聖母様

「転生の儀」へ向けた実験の成功、心より祝福申し上げます。

このスチュアート、長年にわたりお手伝いをさせて頂きましたこと、
身に余る光栄でございます。

選別された“器”に申し分はございません。
「儀」の式は、無事成功すると確信しております。

新たな世界に秩序をもたらす、創造の主となられること、
絆で結ばれし同胞たちにとって、この上なき喜びであります。

しかしながら、神聖なる「儀」の式へむけた計画のためとはいえ、
数多の犠牲を払ってきたことも事実であります。

その罪、産みの苦しみと覚悟しておりました。
そして、成功にはその罪を浄化する罰が必要であると考えます。

来る「転生の儀」を滞りなく転生へと導くため、
聖母様の産みの苦しみをわかちあうため、
我が身を罰し、この命を捧げます。

心配にはおよびません。
このスチュアート、同胞たちとの邂逅が、待ち遠しい限りです。

Analysis[]

The file serves to provide background lore into Alex Wesker's reincarnation project, and explaining the disappearance of her researchers and strike team since the start of the game. The English version differs considerably from the Japanese version in aspects of the file. Stuart's language is more religious in nature in the Japanese, referring to Alex as the "Holy Mother" or "Our Lady" (聖母 (せいぼ) (さま) seibo-sama?), a religious term for Mary, the mother of Jesus. Further, the "procedure" in transferring the copy-Alex mind into Natalia is instead called the "Reincarnation Ceremony" (転生 (てんせ) () tensei no gi?), which adds to his description of the killing of others as a "sacrifice". Finally, Stuart's decision to kill himself is expanded upon, equating the necessary pain of atoning for hsi sins with the pain of childbirth as Alex gives forth new life in Natalia.
