Albert Wesker and Anette Birkin have been charged to conduct a prelimnary field study with the goal to formulate recommendations for a full on practical field study. The production of higher tier B.O.W.s based on human DNA has proven to be cost and energy intensive with a high failure rate. Especially the operation of the incubators are burdening the Umbrella‘s balance. In a pitch to considerably lower the corporations carbon footprint and reduce cost the ESG pannel has forwarded a motion to find more ecological ways of production. Following a promissing first theoretical study by Umbrella researchers it is now time for a first test to verify and validate certain assumptions. Wesker is in charge of recruiting suitable „willing“ participants to form the focus group. Birkin is charged with the virological and medical aspects of the study. They are thrilled to have found three perfect specimens as „volunteers“ for this important work to evolve humanity to a higher level.
