July 23, 1998, Umbrella research center, time unknown, the factory.

As she lifts Billy, he coughs up some water and gasps for air.

After taking his spirit again, he asked "Rebecca..where am I?"

"You're safe now. Are you ok?"

Billy notices something to the side."Hmm?" Over in the corner of the ditch is a pile of human skeletons.

She followed his look "What could have done this?

"They must have been used as test subjects in Marcus' research. He must have kept messing around with the Mother Virus!"

Billy flashes back to a time long past, images of decomposing bodies. As he recalls this memory he breaks out into a cold sweat.

Rebecca seems concerned "Billy?"

Back to their team-up. Rebecca hit the Drain/Flood switch, which opened the floodgates and water pour out of the vent into the pool. Then she used the tool on the door to opened the lock.

As Rebecca passed the stagnant pool, a familiar claw pierces the surface and latches onto the edge. As the creature pulls itself up from the muck, Rebecca turned around to face the monster once again, but this time Billy helped her.

Then, they continue and he pressed the button that sends a ladder down from the upper floor. She placed the motherboard back into the circuit, allows the gondola to return from the other side of the dam. Rebecca hops in the gondola to ride to the floodgate control room. Turning the lever raises the floodgates on the dam to clear the excess water from the walkway over the river.

Billy boosted Rebecca onto his shoulders so she can pull herself up to a high shelf. Two mutant insects burst from their capsules and rush the pair. They shoot in sync against the creature and kill them.

Billy stands on the box on the forklift while the other sends the lift up.

Rebecca and Billy enter the incinerator to find the room completely crawling with the leech creatures. The man in the cloak walks across the upper balcony and welcomes them. They gasped.

"Welcome, young ones. So glad you have joined the party. You are the guests of honor, after all, it's your wake."

"Who are you?" said Billy.

The man transforms into an elderly man.

"Dr. Marcus?" exclaims Billy.
