... So you... wound up in jail because of your dad, but the jail itself--or even the whole island got this virus spread out so there were zombies everywhere and that was the same case in Antarctica?

[ It sounds... wild, honestly. But thankfully for Steve, Ritsuka's used to wild stories coming true. And also there's no way she could ever consider that as boring, frowning thoughtfully as she also lowers her voice. ]

Do you know if it's only those two spots? Or did the virus get spread out even more than that?

... Also wow, you really went through it. [ That's so much for anyone to have to go through. Even one part of that feels like too much. Being put in jail through your father's actions? Bioweapons research on the island? Explosions? Crazy people? Not even being able to escape after escaping?? ]

[ nodding!! ritsuka is smart - of course she'd get it. ]

No kidding! [ dryly exasperated. ] Uh, there was an incident in Raccoon City a few months back. That was the first one. I heard the government bombed the whole city to put it down... it was a total disaster. They've been covering it up, though - I don't know what really happened, just the rumors.

[ he sighs, shaking his head. ]

But if you ask me... I bet there's gonna be more. This whole operation Umbrella's running - based on the stuff I saw, it runs really deep. They make a lot of money selling that research.

[ it wouldn't be his problem, except he's hoping to come back to life shortly... ]

[singurarity]

Money's not really going to matter if the whole world's overrun by zombies. From the sound of it, this virus also sounds really contagious...

[ She's just wrinkling her nose, disgusted. ]

Assholes.

[newlugers]

[ he shrugs his shoulders. ]

They think they can control it - even if getting to that point means killing a bunch of people. It's stupid.

[ from what he could glean from the documents left behind, the zombies were accidents, and the actual products were the hulking creatures that they only ran into occasionally - like what he turned into. Steve frowns. ]

... We got really close to getting out of Antarctica. We managed to find an all-terrain truck that was working, so we were gonna drive to the closest research station, but... the crazy sister, she was still alive and caught us, and... [ how much detail does he want to go into here? probably not a lot - not while the cameras are rolling. He keeps a low tone, sounding a bit stiff. ] Um. Claire got away from her, but I didn't. And... now I'm here.

[singurarity]

...

[ That's easy enough to guess what happened next--at the very least, that the events following his capture led to his death. Ritsuka hesitates for a minute, before scooting her chair a little closer to his. ]

So you'll be reuniting with her after this, then?
