[ It's rather late when the feed clicks on softly and for a moment there is silence. When Wesker begins to speak, his voice is calm. ]

Note #16.3

I am able to end my own quarantine early. Procuring those live specimens has proven to be the right choice. Plant #207 will be added to native group A, further classifications pending.

For now it remains uncertain whether they absorb or neutralize radiation as I haven’t been able to conduct further tests yet, but they clearly do something about it.

[ He pauses, making a low, pensive noise. ]

I can’t help but think. Were these plants to exist back on Earth, what would happen after their discovery? Would their existence spell the end of nuclear war? Would it mark the birth of a new brand of bio weapons?

[ Another pause. But this one ends in a short, humorless chuckle. ]

Who am I kidding. Humans love to wage war against their own kind way too much as to not waste great potential…

But I digress. The final fi-

Ah. Shit.

[ And the feed clicks off as abruptly as it started. ]

No. These things belong in comic books and tv shows for children.

[ Safe spaces where no one actually gets hurt. Or dies. ]

You are saying you are a bipedal, talking animal?

Mmmyep. I'm a hedgehog.

Now, before you say that sounds crazy, let's keep in mind that there was already a bipedal, talking turtle here before I arrived.

I am aware.

[ And he even encoutnered said turtle, if only briefly. ]

Though I doubt either of you brought their cartoon logic with them.

What does that even mean? Things just work the way they work! This isn't cartoon stuff, dude!

They may work the way they work, but there is no scientific way to prove or explain them. That's the difference towards the real world.

I can't prove or explain them in a scientific way because I'm not a scientist! Just because I take things at face value doesn't make my world any less real than yours! What even is this conversation?

Apparently one that brings into question the very concept of our respective realities.

Like which ones are real and which ones aren't? I wasn't planning on lowkey having a weird existential crisis today, but here we are.

This got weird. Let's start over. Hi, my name is Sonic.

Hm.

Dr. Albert Wesker. Virologist, bioengineering expert and former Captain of S.T.A.R.S.

Geez. You win introductions, I guess. So, the sciency stuff I get, but what's S.T.A.R.S.?

Raccoon City's Special Tactics And Rescue Service. We largely dealt with bioterrorism threats until the city fell to an outbreak.
