september 30th, 1998. it's a day i'll never forget. the cop inside me died that day. and that night, raccoon city was wiped out, thanks to the bioweapons created by umbrella. somehow, i made it out. but too many others... weren't so lucky. i was «asked» later to join a top-secret government program. not that i had a choice. the training, the punishing missions nearly killed me. but at least they kept my mind off everything. if i could just forget what happened that night, the pain — even for a second. this time, it can be different. it has to.
