Dear Dr. Birkin,

It has come to my attention that we are currently experiencing a shortage of APL-14. To counteract this problem I am asking you and several other labs to donate five cases of APL-14 to our facility immediately.

For your information, we have discovered, that our base in the South Pole is primarily responsible for this shortage.

We are currently taking steps to prevent this from happening in the future. And don't worry, the Ashford's reputation is now irreparably tarnished.

Your quick response is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

ウィリアム・バーキン殿

昨日、某国より例のAPL−14の大量発注があったが、製品が大幅に不足している。現在、他の研究所にも依頼をしているが、君の所に配送した研究用のAPL−14、5ケースを大至急返送して頂きたい。

我々の調査により、今回の品不足は南極基地の度重なる不手際によるものだと判明した。今後こういった事が起こらないよう、アッシュフォード氏には厳重な注意を促した。

それにしても、あのアッシュフォード家がここまで落ちぶれるとはな…。

Dr. William Birkin,

Yesterday, a certain country with a substantial lack of viable products ordered a large amount of APL-14 as per usual. So now, in an effort to seek help from other facilities, we are requesting that you return the 5 cases of APL-14 delivered to your facility for use in research as soon as possible.

According to our inquiry, the current shortage is from the Antarctic Base, which has become commonplace due to their repeated negligence. We have issued a strict warning to Mr. Ashford and therefore will not request this on your behalf again in the future.

Taking everything into consideration, it appears that the Ashford family is on the path to self-destruction...

Further notes[]

  • The original script states that the Antarctic Base is well known for misusing research materials, in addition to not producing anything Umbrella is able to use.
  • In the official localization, Joel seems to anticipate the family's negative reputation. In the original script, they seem to already have a negative reputation and he instead suggests that the family itself is falling apart.
  • The localization gives this file a date, which is not in the original script. Therefore, the date is not considered canon.
