Kane limped through the secure Umbrella base, his hastily bandaged leg leaving a faint trail of crimson drops on the sterile white floor. Each step was a reminder of his humiliation, but he obediently led Ward through the maze of corridors toward the central control room. The fluorescent lights cast harsh shadows that seemed to emphasize the pallor of his sweat-slicked face.

The control room hummed with quiet efficiency, banks of monitors displaying streams of encrypted data. Kane gestured weakly toward the main terminal, where two files glowed ominously on the primary screen: PROJECT: ALICE and PROJECT: NEMESIS.

Ward settled into the operator's chair with predatory grace, his fingers dancing across the keyboard with inhuman precision. The first file unveiled itself like a digital flower—the genetic blueprint of Alicia Marcus's perfect clone, Alice, and her unique symbiotic bond with the T-Virus. Every strand of DNA, every cellular modification, every impossible adaptation was laid bare in exquisite detail.

The second file was altogether darker. It chronicled the horrific transformation of Matt Addison into the monstrous, programmable bioweapon known as Nemesis. Page after page of surgical procedures, genetic manipulation, and psychological conditioning painted a picture of scientific atrocity that would have made lesser men weep.

Ward absorbed it all with clinical detachment, his enhanced cognitive processes cataloging every detail, every weakness, every exploitable variable. After confirming their authenticity through multiple cross-reference checks, he coolly copied the data onto a secure, encrypted USB drive.

"A pleasure doing business with you," Ward said, pulling out the drive and extending his hand toward the pale, trembling Kane. His smile was warm, almost friendly. "Don't be so serious. We all work for the same company, right?"

Kane's grip was weak and clammy as he reluctantly shook Ward's hand, his expression twisted with barely contained fury. "Hmph. Dr. Isaacs will not let you get away with this."

"I'm sorry, but my authority comes directly from Chairman Alicia Marcus," Ward replied with a dismissive wave, his tone carrying the casual confidence of absolute power. "Dr. Isaacs has no right to give me orders."

Without another word, Ward escorted a still-shaken Dr. Ashford and his daughter Angela toward the waiting helicopter. Kane watched them depart, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, fury and impotence warring in his chest.

The helicopter's rotors carved through the desert air as they lifted off, leaving Kane as a diminishing figure in the sand below. Halfway through their flight, Kane would send a detailed, furious report of the encounter to Isaacs—every humiliating detail, every moment of his defeat. He had never suffered such a crushing reversal of fortune. Deep in his bones, he swore he would make the boy pay.

As their aircraft carved through the night sky, a dazzling white light erupted on the horizon behind them. For a moment, it seemed as if a second sun had been born, its radiance washing over the desert in waves of terrible beauty. Then came the mushroom cloud, rising like a malevolent god awakening from slumber.

Raccoon City—and the millions of souls trapped within its concrete embrace—were sterilized from the face of the earth by a tactical nuclear strike. The shockwave rippled outward, turning sand to glass and dreams to ash.

The world is about to fall, Ward thought, watching the atomic fire paint the clouds in shades of orange and red. But that's a problem for another day.

Their destination was a hidden Umbrella facility nestled in the mountains, its exterior designed to look like an unremarkable government building. But within lay a luxurious, high-tech sanctuary where Alicia Marcus had chosen to spend her final years.

An assistant—a young woman with kind eyes and a nervous smile—led them through corridors that felt more like a botanical garden than a corporate facility. Thriving potted plants lined the walls, their leaves catching the warm, filtered light that streamed through skylights above. The air itself seemed to breathe with life, a stark contrast to the sterile environments Ward had grown accustomed to.

The office they were led to felt more like a conservatory than a corporate suite. Ivy cascaded from hanging planters, and the gentle sound of a small fountain provided a soothing backdrop to their footsteps.

There, sitting in a wheelchair beside a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, was an old woman. Her face was deeply lined with the geography of years, but her facial features were an unmistakable echo of the woman Ward knew as Alice. This was the original—the template from which perfection had been carved.

The progeria that the T-Virus had been created to cure had been halted, but a flawed version of the treatment had dramatically accelerated her natural aging process. She had planned to enter cryo-sleep months ago, but Ashford's news about a viable serum—and Ward's sudden appearance—had delayed those plans.

She had seen everything through the company's surveillance network. His actions in Raccoon City, the impossible armor, the electromagnetic arrows, the arc reactor glowing in his chest like a captive star. She knew his promises of bionic machinery might be more than just a young man's fantasy.

"Mr. Morey," Alicia said, her voice thin as parchment but her eyes sharp as surgical steel. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine, Madam Chairman," Ward replied, offering a respectful bow that somehow managed to convey both deference and confidence.

"Dr. Ashford has told me about your... vision. Your bionic clones." She paused, studying his face with the intensity of a jeweler examining a rare diamond. "I will give you my full support. However, I am going to enter hibernation soon. The company cannot be left in Isaacs's hands alone."

She held out a small, clear disc that caught the light like a captured tear. "This is a bio-linked retinal lens. It will grant you Level 5 clearance—the highest authority below a chairman. Your mission is to find a way to kill Alexander Isaacs. Or, at the very least, retrieve the global T-Virus antivirus he keeps for himself."

Dr. Ashford gasped, his wheelchair creaking as he leaned forward. "It's real? An antivirus?"

"Yes," she confirmed, her voice carrying the weight of terrible knowledge. "Isaacs wants to cleanse the earth and rebuild it in his own image. This antivirus is our only hope—humanity's only hope."

Ward took the lens with reverent care, feeling its weight in his palm. Such a small thing to carry such enormous responsibility. "I accept," he said, placing it against his eye. The integration was seamless, the lens bonding with his cornea like a second skin.

Days later...

Alicia looked even more frail as Ward pushed her wheelchair through the sterile corridors of the Hive, deep beneath what had once been Raccoon City. The nuclear strike had turned the city above into a crater of glass and twisted metal, but the underground facility remained intact—a monument to human ingenuity buried beneath the testament to human folly.

The silence was oppressive, broken only by the soft whisper of wheels on polished floor and the distant hum of life support systems. They were approaching the cryo-chamber when a figure emerged from the shadows like a specter given form.

Dr. Isaacs.

His face was a study in controlled menace, his eyes cold as winter starlight. But his body radiated the vitality of a man half his age—the fruits of genetic enhancement and chemical augmentation. He moved with the fluid grace of a predator, every step calculated for maximum psychological impact.

"It seems you've acquired a new bodyguard," he sneered, his gaze moving from Alicia to Ward with undisguised contempt.

"He is just a talented scientist I discovered," Alicia replied, her voice maintaining its calm despite the obvious threat. "I hope you will teach him well."

"If he proves honest, I will teach him," Isaacs said, the threat in his voice as sharp as a blade's edge. He stared at Alicia for a long moment, as if trying to read the secrets written in her weathered features, then stepped aside with theatrical courtesy.

Ward pushed the wheelchair past him, his own expression a blank mask that revealed nothing. This was neither the time nor the place for a confrontation. But he filed away every detail of Isaacs's stance, his micro-expressions, his unconscious tells. Knowledge was power, and power was survival.

After sealing Alicia in her cryo-chamber—watching as the frost began to form on the glass like winter's first kiss—Ward emerged to find Isaacs waiting in the corridor. The man's demeanor had shifted entirely, like an actor switching roles between scenes.

"Morey," Isaacs said, his tone now one of sincere invitation. "I've heard about your research into bionic machinery. It's a fascinating concept. Are you interested in working with me?"

Ward stopped, feigning consideration as his mind raced through possibilities and probabilities. "You seem to be focused on chemical weapons, Doctor. It's not a suitable fit for my work."

"She told you a great deal, didn't she?" Isaacs's eyes narrowed, studying Ward's face for tells.

"Enough," Ward said lightly, his tone carefully neutral. "But I'm not opposed to the company's approach. My job is to create benefits for Umbrella. My personal feelings don't impact the plan."

"Yes," Isaacs said with an appreciative smile that never reached his eyes. "But I have technology you could use. Resources. Knowledge. Come to my side, and you can ask me anything you wish."

"No need," Ward said, shaking his head with apparent regret. "Chairman Alicia has already granted me access to all of the company's technologies." He knew joining Isaacs would be the fastest way to learn, but it was far too dangerous. The man was a snake—beautiful, fascinating, and utterly lethal.

"That's a pity..." Isaacs's face darkened like storm clouds gathering on the horizon.

Suddenly, he lashed out.

His fist was a blur of motion, aimed directly at Ward's head with killing intent. The air pressure alone was immense, creating a sonic boom that echoed through the corridor. It was an attack that could have shattered concrete, pulverized bone, turned a human skull into fragments.

But the fist stopped—a millimeter from Ward's face.

"I didn't expect you to be a fighter, Dr. Isaacs," Ward said calmly, his expression unchanged despite the violence that had nearly claimed his life. "But you're not fast enough."

An electromagnetic arrow—a silent cobalt streak—now hovered between Isaacs's eyes, its tip pulsing with barely contained energy. The weapon had materialized from nothing, as if summoned by will alone.

"I predicted this course of action 1.7 seconds ago," Ward continued conversationally. "You are powerful, Doctor. Frighteningly so. But you are predictable."

Isaacs slowly retracted his fist, his eyes fixed on the arrow with something approaching fascination. There was no fear in his gaze—only the cold appreciation of a predator recognizing another predator.

"Is this the invention from Raccoon City?" he asked, his voice carrying genuine curiosity.

"It is," Ward said, recalling the arrow with a thought. The weapon dissolved into motes of light that faded like dying stars. "Interested in a trade? This technology for your battlesuit's combat chip data."

"Not enough," Isaacs countered without hesitation. "Add your energy device."

Ward's smile was sharp as a blade. "I don't plan on dying today." He turned to walk toward the Red Queen's main terminal, dismissing Isaacs like a servant.

"Red Queen!" Isaacs shouted into the air, his voice echoing through the empty corridors. "I am firing Ward Morey!"

A holographic projection materialized in the space between them—a little girl in a red dress, her features pixelated perfection. "I'm sorry, Dr. Isaacs," she said, her voice carrying the cold precision of digital consciousness. "Mr. Morey's employment is under the direct authority of Chairman Alicia Marcus. His security clearance is Level Five. You have no authority to fire him."

"Level five?" Isaacs muttered to himself, the words carrying the weight of sudden realization. Without another word, he turned and left, his footsteps echoing through the corridors like a promise of future conflict.

Three years later...

Ward Parker had become a ghost in the machine.

With Level 5 clearance, he had immersed himself in the totality of Umbrella's knowledge like a deep-sea diver exploring the ocean floor. Every secret, every hidden project, every classified experiment—all of it flowed through his consciousness in an endless stream of data.

The first year, he had devoured the mind of the Red Queen herself, dissecting her core programming with surgical precision. From her digital consciousness, he built his own simplified AI—Ruby—a crystalline intellect that sparkled with potential. Where the Red Queen was cold and calculating, Ruby was warm and intuitive, designed to complement rather than dominate.

The second year was dedicated to hardware. He mastered their cloning vats, learning to grow perfect tissue from a single cell. He studied their cryo-stasis technology, understanding how to suspend life at the very edge of death. He mapped their global satellite network, tracing the invisible threads that connected Umbrella's web of power. He delved into their genetic laser technology, learning to write new instructions into the very code of life itself.

The third year was for his own vision. Using the data from Project Alice, he began the first successful cultivation of T-virus enhanced tissue integrated with cybernetic filaments. Flesh and metal, biology and technology, merged into something greater than the sum of their parts.

Knowledge poured into him like a tidal wave, leaving him feeling brilliant and fractured—a god in a lab coat who sometimes forgot to eat or sleep for days at a time. The world outside fell piece by piece. The survivors dwindled to scattered pockets of desperate humanity. Umbrella's monsters reigned supreme over a dying planet.

He paid it no mind. Science was eternal. Discovery was immortal. Everything else was just noise.

Recently, however, Alicia had woken from her cryo-sleep. Her emergence from the ice was like a bell tolling, marking the end of one era and the beginning of another. He knew the time for pure research was ending. The luxury of endless experimentation was over.

He had been given a mission, and he had been given trust. He had yet to deliver on either.

For the first time in years, Ward felt a strange, unfamiliar pang of embarrassment. It was time to show his benefactor a return on her investment. It was time to hunt Dr. Alexander Isaacs.

The game was about to begin in earnest.
