[ a gleam within unnatural visionaries , a smile prodding the corner of red-painted lips . languid strides carry her to a nearby worktable . a drawer opens , black gloves withdrawn from sterile environment . ] 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 . now be a good boy & come forward .

I require a test subject .

did he ? well , it never hurts to have a second opinion . shall I examine you ?

now here you are , speaking to me . a partial cure to stabilize while we undo the damage caused by city council . a truly generous gift — all medical expenses shall be covered .

indeed . a temporary set-back . as a patient , you retain cognitive ability & consciousness ; the same cannot be said for others exposed to the city’s collapsed infrastructure .

all is back under control . the company will do what it must to ensure your prosperity in the wake of raccoon city’s negligence .

your compliments are appreciated . umbrella is here to help you weather the storm .

[ she stands , a sweeping arm motioning to a hologram of the island’s layout . the AIMs do as they are programmed ; surveillance drones cut out one-by-one as each target is marked & eliminated from the sky . her words translate to text . ] 💬 : are you frightened , ingrid ?

surveillance shows a decoy room has been set up . send him there . here are the coordinates you must go to once he breaches . [ an address ; a young agent’s inconspicuous burrow , whose onboarding commences today . ] eliminate the target . do it quietly , leave no trace .

📲 : [ incoming : ᴘᴇʀᴇɢʀɪɴᴇ ] [ she swivels in her chair , writing down the drone number onto a notepad . AIMs activate across the island with a flick of a button . ] 💬 : death is not the end . 💬 : enjoy my gift .

📲 : [ outgoing : ᴘᴇʀᴇɢʀɪɴᴇ ] 💬 : rest well tonight . @beh1ndscreens

' family ' is a generous word ; to make assumptions is to open yourself up to untruths . imagine if albert had considered your blood when you came under his wing . daughter of a 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘧 .

come little sparrow , into my talons .
