                          ALL ITEMSWhen you obtain a new item, always remember to look at
                          it with the "Check" command on the status
                          screen. Remember, it's always best to rotate the item
                          so you can check it from different angles.
 TRY TO PUSH OBJECTS
 If you face an object and then press and hold up on
                          the directional button, sometimes you will be able to
                          push it.
 You may find hidden rooms and items this way.
 USE THE QUICK TURN
 You can turn 180 degrees instantly by pressing the
                          Cancel button while holding the directional button
                          down. This is a very effective move when you attack
                          the enemy and then want to turn around and run.
 USE THE MAP SCREEN
 When you are lost or are unsure of what to do, check
                          the map screen. You can easily tell where you've never
                          been and can see which doors you have unlocked.
 CLIMB/DESCEND
 You can climb/descend some objects. To do this, face
                          the object and then push the Action button.
 SECURITY BOXES
 The items you store in a Security Box in the prison
                          area cannot be accessed through an Item Box. Make sure
                          you remove all important items from a Security Box
                          before exiting a room.
 I CAN'T TAKE THE GOLD LUGERS FROM THE PROJECTION ROOM.
 You cannot release the trap by yourself. After certain
                          events occur, you will be able to release the trap and
                          obtain the Gold Lugers.
 I CAN'T ENTER THE BIO-EXPERIMENT ROOM
 Once the shutter near the bio-experiment room shuts,
                          you can't open it until the ventilation process
                          completes due to the in-room air pollution problems.
 I CAN'T CLIMB THE LADDER IN THE BEDROOM.
 You will need to place a pair of items onto the two
                          music boxes. Then you will have to...
 I CAN'T SEND LOADS PROPERLY WITH THE SORTER
 The sorter judges which room each load will be sent to
                          by an item that is posted on the load. You should
                          check an already sorted load in the room you would
                          like to send your load to and then...
 CHARACTER SWITCHING
 When your player character changes, make sure to leave
                          enough weapons and ammo for the others.
 REUSED ITEMS
 While you are playing as Chris, there's an occasion
                          where you'll need to use the same item you used when
                          you played as Claire. If you get stuck, remember what
                          you did in Claire's story.
 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TRAPS
 During the game, there are many traps that may
                          jeopardize your life. These traps can possibly work to
                          your advantage if you know how to use them...

 Our new product, the "3D Duplicator"
                          consists of two parts.
 3D Scanner Portion
 This portion scans a 3D object. Simply place the
                          material that
 you want to have scanned onto the tray of the scanner.
                          The scanned object will be processed into 3D data,
                          which will be transferred to the duplicator portion.
 Duplicator Portion
 If you place the material you wish to have converted
                          on the machine, you can begin conversion based on the
                          3D data that was created by the 3D scanner portion.
                          The conversion will be executed with complete data
                          accuracy. The result will be an object precisely true
                          to the original.

                           The
                          emergency door lock system in the biology experiment
                          room can be released with the 4 digit pass number. I
                          hope you haven't forgotten about that already. I have
                          just received an order from the system administrator
                          requesting us to change the pass number periodically.
                          What bothers me is that you often lose important
                          memos, pass numbers or even chemicals... So, in an
                          attempt to solve that problem, I came up with an idea.
                          You know the red human skeleton picture at the back of
                          the biology experiment room? I have decided to use the
                          number signed on the picture as the pass number. If
                          you happen to lose the memo, just look at the picture.
                          Well, I don't think you would ever need to use the
                          emergency pass number, anyway. But just in case, now
                          you know. Take it easy, Mr. Careless!

                           Sir
                          Alfred,Congratulations on your succession as master of the
                          Ashford family. I hereby present you with an
                          earthenware vase, according to the Ashford family
                          tradition. As you may know, this tradition first began
                          when a butler presented a golden tea cup as a
                          commemorative to Veronica. As founder of the Ashford
                          family, her intelligence and beauty are legendary. The
                          second and third masters, Stanley and his son Thomas,
                          were also presented with similar tea cups. It was
                          their hope to achieve glory as Veronica did before
                          them. The position of family master then shifted from
                          Sir Thomas to his twin brother Sir Arthur. It then
                          went to Sir Edward, your grandfather. That was when
                          the Ashford family enjoyed its golden age. It was also
                          Sir Edward's achievement that established the large
                          chemical enterprise, Umbrella Inc. However, when Sir
                          Edward passed away and your father Sir Alexander
                          succeeded the position, the glorious Ashford family
                          gradually began to sink...I sincerely hope that the
                          Ashford family regains its glory with your guidance,
                          just as this vase continues to shine eternally.

 The Ashford family's
                          most important secret is kept at this lab. As a safety
                          precaution, I have installed a self-destruct device in
                          the control room and have placed the activation code
                          inside the computer. Once inputted, all door locks
                          will be released to provide easy access to escape
                          routes. By using the elevator that directly connects
                          to the hangar, one should be able to escape from the
                          lab easily. Please remember that I have used the name
                          of my beautiful ancestor for the activation code.
 Glory to the Ashfords,

 Although we planned
                          to utilize the enhanced anti-decay alloy called
                          "Deploid" to create the storage capsule of
                          the new B.O.W., we have had to cancel the plan. This
                          is primarily based upon the fact that despite its
                          excellent resistance to all kinds of liquid including
                          strong acid, it easily dissolves when soaked with a
                          mixture of the two chemicals, "Clement A"
                          and "Clement E". Due to the lethal nature of
                          the new B.O.W., we cannot be too careful in choosing
                          the material for their storage capsule. We have
                          instead decided to use Deploid to create the plate
 portion of the "Eagle Plate", which shines
                          in indigo-blue.
 CLEMENT INFORMATION
 The a type is used for gun maintenance and possesses
                          no conspicuous characteristics. However, the E type
                          will change its color to blue at a certain
                          temperature.
 (It is an odd coincidence that the temperature is
                          exactly the same as the date of completion of this
                          training facility.)
 Based upon our analysis of the E type, we believe that
                          Clement possesses more features. As new information is
                          learned, we will update this file.

 This room stinks of death. Based upon the information
                          I've found, I believe that I'm far south of the
                          equator.
 Lucky for me that Bob in the bunk below me, is one of
                          those interesting types of guys...
 May 16th
 Today Bob told some crazy story of why he was put this
                          place with me. Bob said that he used to be an
                          attendant of the head of this place. This
                          "boss" named Alfred supposedly placed him in
                          here because of a tiny little mistake.
 What does that mean? What's going to happen to me?
 May 20th
 Without warning, a group of military men took Bob to
                          the building behind the guillotine stand. At midnight,
                          I'll sneak out of here to see him. I've been hearing
                          that anyone taken to that building never comes back.
                          On top of that, there are these REALLY large plastic
                          bags constantly being removed from that place. I'd
                          better pray for Bob...
 May 21st
 I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone there. What is
                          going on in there?! All I could hear was some insanely
                          creepy laughter and the sound of Bob screaming! I
                          don't know what to do. I can't stop thinking about
                          it...
 Is that going to happen to me?! I can't let it... I
                          just can't...
 May 27th
 Since my last entry, all of my fellow inmates have
                          been taken to that building! I know that I am next...
                          It's obvious that we were all here to be used as
                          Alfred's guinea pigs. There's no way out! What am I
                          going to do?!...

 There is a demon in my mind. I can't control the
                          fierce impulses that the demon sometimes drives me to
                          act upon. It is a brutal ceremony. With the demon next
                          to me, I enjoy watching people agonize in pain,
                          screaming and convulsing repeatedly as they die...
                          But, Sir Alfred was kind enough to acknowledge me, and
                          has given me the facilities, chemicals, and
                          "equipment" necessary to study everything. I
                          must never betray Sir Alfred's kindness. It is
                          especially critical that no one discovers the sacred
                          place that only he and I know about. I swear, the
                          basement of this medical building will be kept secret.
                          Of course, I keep the  key to the sacred place
                          with me at all times... Even if an outsider sees it,
                          they will never be able to tell that it is the key. I
                          must remember that my life ends when I lose Sir
                          Alfred's trust.

 Four years have passed since I began serving Sir
                          Alfred. He doesn't trust anyone! Even though I am his
                          attendant, I am still strictly prohibited from
                          entering his private house! What is his problem
                          anyway?! They say he lives with his twin sister Alexia
                          in his private house on the hill. Occasionally, I've
                          seen someone standing by the window of the house. It
                          might have been Alexia, whose extreme beauty is often
                          talked about. I once asked Sir Alfred about
 this, but it only enraged him. Even though I am his
                          attendant, he will not show me any lenience. If I ask
                          about her again, I could put my life at risk. After
                          all, it is a mystery why he so desperately tries to
                          keep his private life with Alexia a secret.

                          12-D.I.J. Diary --
 
 December 27th
 Today, a woman in red was taken to my home on Rockfort
                          Island. I wonder what she did to deserve such a fate?
                          I've lived here for so long and have seen so many
                          people taken to the prison, but rarely have I seen
                          someone released alive... Out of nowhere, these
                          strange soldiers appeared with weapons in their hands.
                          I suppose that the master of the island is being
                          attacked by an opposing organization. Since I was
                          worried about that woman in red, I ran to her prison
                          but she was not there. I wonder if she is related to
                          the attack on the island... When I reached the
                          military training facility, the master of Rockfort
                          Island was chasing the woman in red. I got careless
                          and was almost killed under a shutter. However, thanks
                          to my natural agility, I managed to escape from the
                          danger and went outside. I guess I should be thankful
                          for my nature skills... When I heard the self-destruct
                          announcement and saw the emergency signal, I knew that
                          I had to get off of the island. Was this all HER
                          doing? I didn't have time to think about it because I
                          had to hurry to the hanger of the transportation plane
                          to escape... On my way to the transportation plane, a
                          huge monster appeared in front of that woman in red.
                          It broke through the fences like they were made of
                          paper! Although I wanted to see what happened to the
                          woman in red, I decided to run to my destination...
                          Even with all the explosions and fires, the
                          transportation plane took off with us on it. I thought
                          that I was safe. But somehow, that huge monster got
                          onto our plane. With help from me, the woman in red
                          was able to drive the monster out of our plane. She is
                          indeed a woman to be respected... I can't believe it!
                          Our transportation plane landed at an Antarctic
                          transportation base. Worse yet, the crews who took off
                          with another transportation plane before us, have
                          scattered the T-virus here. Now this base is just like
                          the island, where zombies and monsters wander
                          around... I won't be able to survive long in a place
                          like this! I must find a way to escape from here as
                          soon as possible!! I will give up on that woman in red
                          and will start searching for another way... As I was
                          resting in the darkness, I sensed someone approaching.
                          They're right next to me! The door was closed and I
                          couldn't escape, so I just kept banging on the door
                          like a maniac. Suddenly the door opened, so I ran for
                          it! But then I realized that I should not be afraid,
                          so I looked back. I found myself staring at the woman
                          in red... Finally, I found a blond haired man in sun
                          glasses. It seemed he was going to escape in a
                          submarine. I felt that it was my last chance to escape
                          from this crazy place of white terror. So just before
                          the submarine hatch closed, I successfully sneaked
                          into the submarine. That is my story of how I survived
                          from that insane world of horror.

 My dear brother, I
                          firmly believe that the glory of the Ashford family
                          will be revived through your courage and strength as
                          an honored soldier.

 Attn: Mr. Alfred
                          Ashford, head of the facility.
 Today at 16:32,
 I arrived successfully from the Umbrella transport
                          base with the large-scale B.O.W. capsule. Extreme care
                          was taken during transport, and all 108 check points
                          were confirmed condition "green", in
                          accordance with standard procedures. It is currently
                          being stored in a freezer. There's one thing that I
                          don't understand. We are normally assigned to special
                          missions. Why were we ordered to transport a frozen
                          capsule this time? I understand that this may be
                          classified as top-secret, but without knowledge of the
                          contents, our safety could be at risk during the
                          transport. This is especially important if the
                          contents are potentially harmful.
 We would like to ask you to provide us with more
                          information, should we be assigned similar missions in
                          the future. I still remember the good old days that I
                          spent here in the military training center. Nothing
                          has changed since then. We will gear up for the next
                          mission, today at 23:00.

 October 30th
 When I joined Umbrella Inc., I thought that I would be
                          able to live care-free for the rest of my life, being
                          employed by this huge corporation. It's a joke that I
                          ended up being a driver at a place like this. I asked
                          for a position change, but they completely ignored me.
                          It feels more like a prison! Work is extremely
                          demanding, and there's nothing fun about it. I'd
                          rather be dead!
 November 3rd
 My hard-earned vacation was canceled suddenly. I heard
                          they failed to secure enough manpower due to a mistake
                          made by the facility head, Alfred. That fool doesn't
                          deserve forgiveness. He doesn't even treat us like
                          human beings!
 November 5th
 I heard an interesting story from a guy who's been
                          working here for over 8 years. He must be awfully
                          patient...
 He says that there is a man who has been confined for
                          over 10 years, locked up in a cell located deep below
                          here. People call him "Nosferatu" and are
                          deathly afraid of him. What an absurd story!
 November 10th
 At midnight I woke up to an ominous growling sound
                          that seemed to be coming from deep under ground... I'm
                          so pathetic to have been frightened by such a foolish
                          story. Then again, I suppose anyone would have a hard
                          time maintaining their sanity if they were confined in
                          a place like this!!

 My father, Edward,
                          discovered the mother virus in cooperation with Lord
                          Spencer, who was also a nobleman. They studied it for
                          the purpose of military use. Eventually their study
                          took shape. They named a variation of the mother
                          virus, the "T-virus". To camouflage their
                          research, they established Umbrella Chemical, Inc. I
                          majored in biogenetics and have been involved with a
                          top secret project, supporting my father's research.
                          However, my research went through a difficult phase,
                          and my father died in the middle of the project. We
                          are now at a major disadvantage against other
                          researchers, as there is great competition in the
                          field of T-virus research. I have disgraced the
                          honorable name of the Ashford family that our great
                          ancestor Veronica established. If nothing is done,
                          Umbrella will be taken over by Spencer. I must
                          expedite the project to its fullest, without being
                          detected by Spencer. After much thought, I decided to
                          establish a large-scale advanced research facility. It
                          will be
 located in the transport terminal that I created by
                          using the abandoned mine in the Antarctic. Within the
                          facility, I'll have a room built. It will be similar
                          to the design of my mansion, the legacy of the late
                          Trevor. I will be able to cherish my sweet memories
                          there... For security purposes, this confidential
                          project will be given a code name. It is the name of
                          the beautiful ancestor of the Ashford family,
                          "Veronica" whom I wish to revive so badly. I
                          am confident that the result of my research will be as
                          glorious as her name, and that honor will be restored
                          to the
 Ashford family once again.

 Sir Alfred,
 Please forgive me, as I must tell you of my abrupt
                          departure by leaving this letter. I first served your
                          father, Lord Alexander, and have for so long shared in
                          the joys and sorrows of the Ashford family. Lord
                          Alexander disappeared unexpectedly 15 years ago, then
                          an accident during an experiment took the life of our
                          dear Alexia. You were forced to become the master of
                          the family at a very young age, and nearly lost your
                          sanity from the sorrow of having lost all of your
                          family members at once. There was nothing I could do,
                          and I felt powerless.
 I first thought that I should kill myself to
                          apologize. I then realized that it would be an insult
                          to our dear Lord Alexander and Alexia, in the other
                          world...

 Alexia, my sister, is
                          a genius and possesses unmatched beauty. She is
                          everything to me. I would overcome any obstacle and be
                          willing to risk my life for her. For Alexia, I must
                          revive the glorious Ashford family which fell during
                          the era of my father, Alexander. Together, we will
                          restore our family name. Once that has been achieved,
                          I'll build a palace where only nobles may gather. I
                          cannot allow the unwashed to see my dear Alexia, to
                          whom my life is devoted to. She reigns the world as
                          queen, with I as her servant. That is my dream, and
                          how sweet it will be. Those accomplishments will be
                          the proof of my love toward Alexia. It is the purpose
                          of my existence. All other people are meaningless, and
                          they shall soon prostrate themselves before Alexia and
                          I.

                          live, has been badly damaged. Although I can never
                          allow the unwashed to see Alexia, I cannot go on using
                          the underground waterway that those local people made,
                          either. Oh yes... I think I'll have those prisoners
                          build a bridge. It must be a gorgeous bridge that
                          befits the perfection that is Alexia. Of course, I
                          must kill everyone who's involved in the construction
                          of the bridge after it is done, so that no one will
                          know about the existence of our mansion. But that is
                          okay, as I have no problem executing such matters.
                          Once the bridge is completed,I'll seal the mansion
                          entrance door at the end of the under-ground waterway.
                          The entrance of the waterway is locked by the diorama
                          trick, ensuring the secrecy of our mansion.

 After many long years
                          of research, I finally identified the inheritance
                          element that administers the intelligence of man. I
                          even succeeded in manipulating the absolute value of
                          intelligence artificially, by recomposing the base
                          alignment of the element. I then sampled the gene of
                          our great ancestor, manipulated its element, then
                          implanted it into the unfertilized egg of a surrogate
                          mother. What I didn't expect was that twins, a boy and
                          a girl, were born. The boy had higher intelligence
                          then normal, but not high enough for him to be
                          considered a genius. However, the girl had unmatched
                          intelligence that easily allowed her to be classified
                          as a genius. She was exactly what I had been looking
                          for, the revival of our great ancestor. I already
                          determined their names; the girl's name, Alexia, and
                          the boy's name, Alfred. I'm certain that Alexia will
                          elevate the name of the Ashford family to extreme
                          glory.

 January 30th
 There's a sealed room in the hallway located inside of
                          the Antarctic facility. I don't know what is hidden
                          there, but I do know how to get in. I can use the
                          three jewels that each one of our three family members
                          wear as proof of being a legitimate descendant of the
                          Ashford family. The only problem is, I do not know how
                          I can gain possession of my father's proof.
 February 17th
 I finally succeeded in entering that sealed room. I
                          never could have imagined that such an insane secret
                          existed regarding the birth of both Alexia and
                          myself...
 I hate my father. That fool, Alexander... Now it is
                          obvious that we were merely created in an attempt to
                          cover my father's blunder. I can never trust him
                          again. I must regain the glory of the Ashford family
                          with my sister. I have nothing to be afraid of, as
                          long as Alexia is with me.
 March 3rd
 Alexia carried out the experiment on the human body
                          that we've been talking about. Our useless father must
                          be happy now, since he can finally contribute to the
                          Ashford family. The only thing we should be careful
                          about is that the butler, Harman, does not become wise
                          to our activities.
 April 22nd
 The experiment resulted in failure. Our father was
                          useless after all. Even worse, he turned into a
                          dangerous monster that is completely out of control.
                          We tied him down and locked him up in an underground
                          prison cell. However, Alexia seems to be close to a
                          solution. Beyond all my expectations, she now says
                          that she wishes to conduct the experiment on her own
                          body. On top of that, she feels she must be kept
                          asleep for 15 years in order to accomplish the
                          experiment. Thanks to that idiot, I can't see my dear
                          Alexia for as long as 15 years. Alexia is going to
                          sleep, with all of her trust relying upon me. Now, I'm
                          the only one who can protect Alexia.

 After discovering the remains of an ancient virus
                          within the genes of a queen ant, I have been
                          concentrating on the research of ants. The ecosystem
                          of the ants seems truly ideal to me. There is one
                          queen ant in each anthill, and the soldier and worker
                          ants are the queen's slaves. They dedicate their lives
                          to the queen. The death of the queen ant means the
                          doom of the entire anthill. However, the soldier and
                          worker ants can be easily replaced as
 long as the queen ant is alive. This is exactly the
                          same relationship between myself and the other
                          ignorant masses. I have succeeded in creating an ideal
                          virus by implanting the queen ant's gene into the
                          mother virus that Spencer found. I used my otherwise
                          useless father as a test subject. However, as I
                          expected, the virus caused a rapid change in his
                          cells, triggering the complete destruction of his
                          brain cells and body flesh. Furthermore, a special
                          type of poison gas was generated inside his body, that
                          the blue herb had no effect against. Because of this,
                          I created an antidote in in case of emergency, and
                          stored it inside of the weapon/chemical warehouse on
                          the B2 floor. I have decided to name this virus with
                          unimaginable potential, the "T-Veronica"
                          virus. When I find out how
 I can utilize the power of this wonderful virus, my
                          great research will finally be complete.

 Work continues on the "T-Veronica" virus
                          which I extracted from the queen ant. The more
                          research I conduct on it, the more I am impressed by
                          how much potential it has. I have finally implanted
                          the virus into my own body, and discovered how to
                          utilize its power. I will avoid making the mistake
                          that I made on my father. I will suppress the activity
                          of the virus at an ultra-low temperature, so that my
                          cells will change slowly. My calculations indicate
                          that it will take 15 years before my body will gain
                          immunity, and become able to coexist with the virus.
                          Until then, I have no choice but to trust the capsule
                          that I will be in, to that inept but loyal soldier ant
                          who is my brother. For me to obtain unlimited power,
                          some risks need to be taken. When I awaken, I will be
                          the queen... And the "T-Veronica" virus will
                          be unleashed upon the entire world by my children.
                          Every last creature on earth will exist to serve me.
                          At that time, the world will achieve the perfect
                          ecosystem. Just like the anthill, but on a much
                          grander scale.
