Umbrella Chapter 3 - Catherine Halsey (Patreon)

Project: Sentinel and Project: Flashlight were two ideas that would propel the age of humanity into something entirely new.

Project Flashlight consisted of recreating Laser Weaponry, as Alexander had some basic blueprints; with his genius-level intellect of Mythical Rarity, it wasn't hard to create the concept for the Laser Weapon to work.

Project: Sentinel was meanwhile about creating Super Soldiers, or rather to create Transhumans of immense power. Yeah, they didn't have any supernatural abilities, but they would be like gods among men when it came to combat.

"Is it possible?"

After several minutes, Dr. Halsey asked as she pointed at the file with the letters "Project: Sentinel".

"Yes... Actually, Phase 1 would be available within a few months if I had a superior laboratory. Unfortunately, for Phase 2 and the final Phase 3, we don't have enough advanced technology, but that is only a matter of time."

Alexander stated that because Phase 1 of Project Sentinel consisted of using the perfected version of T-Virus to strengthen the overall physique of the user. It would essentially create a Superhuman Soldier far superior to Captain America from the Marvel Series.

Yet in Alexander's vision, that was only beginning because Phase 1 was the only building block for even stronger and more powerful Augmentation and that was the role of perfected T-Virus that should theoretically strengthen ordinary humans to superhuman level.

And when already superhuman, one could withstand Augmentations more effectively without any side effects and obtain even greater strength. He based most of the Augumentaition for Phase 2 after those of Spartans from the Halo.

"And testings? And a safe environment? If we make one wrong move... then this would be hell on earth with the mutagenic properties of the Progenitor Virus. And we would need 'test subjects'..."

With that said Alexander knew that she already was on the board with the Umbrella Corporation.

This was something that she couldn't just pass on. Not only would she be hailed as one of the greatest scientists in history, but the gains of immortality and power were tempting for anyone.

Right now, Alexander was focusing on the re-creation of some of the canonical Umbrella products that he would sell to the United States Military. His late father, surprisingly, had connections to them and after the presentation of his ideas, they were delighted for the cooperation.

"Everything is prepared. We have a top-notch secret underground laboratory deep underneath the Arklay Mountains in the United States of America, a pretty much-abandoned place. Only a few additional renovations are needed until we can start the experiments in full. The NEST could withstand intensive nuclear bombardment if it came to this and could be considered one of the most safe and advanced facilities of the world."

Alexander said because The NEST would be the perfect place, the only thing he needed to do was a bit of renovation, removing some weak points and strengthening them and also he needed to buy the entire area as his private property.

"Then what are we waiting for..."

With that being said, he obtained one of the craziest and most brilliant scientists possible for his endeavors...

Ashford Castle, a few weeks later

Sitting across Alexander was a man in a green military uniform, wearing a red barret. He was 45 years old with a bit of grey hair and a beard and was someone who was directly introduced to Alexander by Goro Takemura.

"So, Captain Victor, what do you think about the offer?"

Alexander asked the man...

He naturally recognized him because it was Mikhail Victor; in canon, he was the leader of Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Services Delta Platoon. Similarly enough, the backstory here was pretty much the same.

Originating from Leningrad, he served in Soviet Amry, attaining the rank of Kapitán. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Army was largely demobilized, and Viktor and many others were rendered unemployed in a country reeling from economic ruin.

Soon, the new Russian Federation experienced tense conflict as ethnic minorities fought for their independence. Viktor became involved due to his wife, who was from one such ethnic group and offered his support and experience to the rebel cause.

During the conflict, Viktor was directly responsible for a number of attacks, which included massacres of civilians.

And during this, Alexander came in and essentially bribed the Russians to give release to him and his unit of around five hundred men, all seasoned elite veterans of the Red Army.

And it cost him only a few million dollars, which was a bit ridiculous, but in Russia not, that was a country where money could buy you everything...

"Your conditions are way beyond what anyone could provide..."

Alexander wanted to build a few branches of the Umbrella's military Units, but he needed to start with the security for the facilities, and for that, he needed to create the Umbrella Security Service as the first step.

"I agree... at least it would be more stable than mercenary life."

He was decided for all of the men and women that were following him; they were criminals in Russia and, technically speaking, in the rest of the world for countless war crimes and crimes against humanity.

"Splendid, now I must warn you, Commander, this will be the start of an entirely new era with enemies you have not faced before... but fear not, you will get the best training, equipment, and for those who are loyal, augmentation possible."

With that done, the Umbrella Corporation grew bigger and Umbrella Security Service was created. With Alexander and Catherine working together, they would be quick to recreate many of the things that he wished to sell to the US military.

Now, there was only one thing left to do...

Meet the contact with the USA Military, General Peter Randall...

Yes, the same man who was the leader of the Blackwatch Special Forces, though considering that Gentek wasn't a thing in this world, who knows?

But from what he heard, Randall was a big name in Washington and his Blackwatch were one of the best black ops units...

Still, Alexander also heard that the man was on his last legs because the brutality of the Blackwatch was getting back at them, and sooner or later, they would be disbanded due to all the incriminating evidence they had left behind.
