Can't wait for the translation of those Famitsu scans, they sound interesting for sure!!

I've got more Japanese scans of 1.5 that could use translations if you desire, News Bot.

[News Bot]

Definitely OKei, send them over.

From the first scan:

July 25, dawn. The chopper of the missing S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team returned. The conditions of the protected surviving officers were weak and seriously injured, and they were immediately transferred from local police infirmary to the state general hospital.

According to their witness reports, an investigation into the giant pharmaceutical company "Umbrella" was started, revealing the truth of their biological experiments.
2 months after the outbreak in the forest area. The whole of Raccoon City is now overrun by countless wandering zombies and has turned into a city of death. A strange dermatitis comes upon the city and spreads at an unbelievable speed. Almost all the people in this town start to turn into a zombie.

Located in the center of Raccoon City, the Raccoon Police Department has nothing different with other places. Attacked by zombies, its functions are completely terminated. In a room on the top floor of this station, some Raccoon police officers are trying to survive this. Somehow, they managed to defend themselves from those zombies, but they are almost running out of food and ammo, and have reached the limit of their stamina. The city has been overrun by zombies, and the number of the dead keeps rising rapidly as time rolls.

As one of the survivors, the rookie cop Leon who just assumed his position has determined to enter the police station, in order to discover a new path for his escape. In the meantime, the main gate of the station is broken through by a girl riding her motorbike. Her name is Elza. And she also came here to find a way to survive.

The investigation is actually published in one of the BIO HAZARD Directors Cut guide books. Here's part of it:

"EYES ONLY WARNING

Notes regarding viewing research memos seized from Umbrella Pharmaceutical:

August, 1998

The incident that happened at Raccoon City was due to a release of bioweapons and bioweapons-grade pathogens that were being secretly developed by Umbrella Pharmaceutical, and produced casualties of workers who worked at the research facility and civilians nearby the facility. This incident has already been resolved by S.T.A.R.S. intervention.

In this bioweapons leakage incident which happened over a period of several months following the spring of 1998, Umbrella concealed the incident from the beginning and except for a handful of workers, no Umbrella workers knew about the incident. Furthermore, instead of attempting to better understand the incident, the company forced researchers to report data from time to time about the incident in order to advance development of further bioweapons. The research memos related to bioweapons shown on the next page are information that was reported to Umbrella headquarters over a period of several months from the time of the beginning of the incident until S.T.A.R.S. intervention, and that was ultimately collected by this committee. These memos contain information about bioweapon characteristics and there usefulness as weapons. Most memos are shown in their original form. Furthermore, in order to be ready for any similar future incident, information on how to deal with bioweapons disposal is provided with the cooperation of S.T.A.R.S.

Some of the information in these memos indicate bioweapons that were not intentionally developed, but instead were created by chance as the result of an accident, etc. We can see how the company completely disregarded common morals as it forced workers to gather information and work to commercialize bioweapons, even though they were subjected to great risk.

Biohazard Incident Investigation Committee

B.O.W.

B.O.W. stands for and refers to Bio-Organic Weapons secretly developed by Umbrella Pharmaceutical. The aim of this B.O.W. research project was the production of powerful soldiers exceeding the strength of humans, and was a crazed plan that entered the realm of "playing god" in order to develop various bioweapons by modifying the DNA of animals and humans. Apparently still in the experimental stage, the ultimate B.O.W. remains incomplete. Continued investigation should further the truth.

Clay Virus

One unavoidable and important factor in Umbrella's B.O.W. development is the pathogen called the Clay Virus.

The Clay Virus takes up residence in the cells of the host, just like a normal virus, and self-propagates by using the synthesis properties and energy of proteins. In other words, the protein and nucleic acid synthesis program of cells that have been infected with the Clay Virus is rewritten based on the nucleus of the virus, resulting in growing numbers of new Clay virus nuclei. The most significant attribute of the Clay virus is in how the infected cells themselves are subjected to mutated evolution.

After infection, the Clay virus spreads throughout the victim's body and affects its systems, starting with internal secretory systems, spreading to nearly all organs making up the body, such as the skin, muscles, nerves, circulatory, respiratory, digestive and skeletal systems. One major transformation is an unusual increase in growth hormone and the tendency for the body to increase in size. The effect of the virus on the muscular system - to multiply the strength of the host organism - is particularly surprising. For the nervous system, the virus dulls sensations of pain and fear, while at the same time significantly increasing aggression. These are all important characteristics a bio-weapon - B.O.W.

On the other hand, metabolism is slowed down significantly. Some B.O.W. variants undergo tissue decay, making them not particularly pleasant to look at.
The Clay Virus is also thought to play a role in enabling genetic combinations of different variant types that would be normally unstable, making it easier to perform complex genetic operations together with the Clay Virus.

Clay Virus types

The Clay Virus prototype was discovered during an experiment using a primitive arthropod. Various subspecies were created from the prototype through combinations with various living organisms, with several virus types currently known to exist today, from A-E. Of these, the E type most closely resembles the complete Clay Virus, and is also known by the name of t-virus (Tyrant virus).

Infection Route

According to reports received, first at the time of its leakage during the incident, the E- type Clay Virus spread through the air, but it has since mutated into a form that spreads via direct skin contact (percutaneously). This is believed to be true based on documentation indicating that protective wear was required when handling the original E- type virus during the early part of the incident, based on the fact that two organisms captured by infected people became infected during the middle part of the incident, and that S.T.A.R.S. personnel were not infected even when injured by zombies and other infected individuals during the later part of the incident. It appears that the E- type virus evolves over time due to the external environment and over time, gradually growing into a more stable form from the E- type virus that spreads through the air, infects and multiplies in the host organism, turning into a E-type variant that spreads through the skin. It can be said that the Clay Virus is a type of virus that gradually grows less infectious over time.

After the Biohazard Incident

Sequel to the event

The Arklay Mountains research facility was completely destroyed by the previously mentioned explosion. The ensuing fire also spread to the neighboring trees. The local fire department and national guard troops struggled to contain the fire, but a large area of about 750 acres (about 300 hectares) of forest had burned by the time the fire was put out. However, the one saving grace of this disaster is that the true source of the fire has never been revealed. It should also be noted that the 4 survivors have not been cleared of suspicion of virus infection, and their whereabouts remain unknown.

List of Biohazard Incident Victims

<>S.T.A.R.S.

Albert Wesker (A-Team)
...Stabbed in stomach by a Tyrant in the research lab basement and instantly killed. Cause of death thought to be shock due to internal organ trauma.

Joseph Frost (A-Team)
...Bitten to death by Cerberus in the Forest mountains. The direct cause of death was a broken spine suffered in the attack.

Enrico Marini (B-Team)
...Instantly killed by gunshot wound to the chest in the central courtyard (or garden). The killer was determined to be Albert Wesker based on circumstantial evidence.

Kenneth J Sullivan (B-Team)
...Heavily injured body found in the mansion on the first floor. Cause of death: zombie-inflicted head and neck injuries.

Richart Aiken (B-Team)
...Died shortly after being found in front of the mansion attic. Body was covered with claw wounds, severe scratches and bite wounds from the left shoulder to the right leg. The direct cause of death is thought to be "Yawn" shock.

Forest Speyer (B-Team)
...Body found at the mansion 2nd floor terrace. Direct cause of death: blood loss due to claw attack.

Edward Dewey (B-Team)
...Only right wrist and below was found in the Arklay mountains. With most of the body missing, unlikely to be able to determine the cause of death.

<> Umbrella Pharmaceutical

25 lab workers (estimated)
...Nearly all died from attacks by other workers who were infected by the virus and turned into zombies. Perhaps because there was early knowledge of the news that the virus had leaked out, the number of workers committing suicide were greater that of the mansion.

7 researchers visiting from headquarters (estimated)
...All of these were missing and unaccounted for, with no bodies found. In some cases, they could be held isolated by Umbrella, so confirmation of their whereabouts must be urgently done.

22 Experimental subjects Type A (names unconfirmed)
... People who were turned into hunters through virus injection. Nearly all were shot by S.T.A.R.S. forces. They are thought to have been homeless people or people with otherwise irregular place of living, so verification of identity would be extremely difficult.

1 person - experimental subject type B (name unconfirmed)
...An experimental subject who became a tyrant through experimental treatments such as virus injection. It was not possible to find the body due to the lab explosion, making identity verification impossible.

<> Civilians

Raccoon City residents 4 families, 13 people (estimated)
Victims of attacks by Zombies or Cerberus escaped from the research facility.
Travelers from other states - 7 people (estimated)
Thought to have been attacked by Cerberus while mountain climbing. All except two were lone climbers.

The victims indicated in the above list are only an estimate based on an ongoing investigation. The number of victims is expected to increase as details of various documents produced by the forced investigation of Umbrella are verified. Also, due to a sudden increase in the numbers of lost or missing persons reported to the city police since the spring, it is believed that there are still many potential victims."

The 'Clay virus' (the original name for the Progenitor virus, I'll be doing a detailed overview of it in another topic) was almost certainly going to be in BH 1.5, and was actually still in BH2. It's mentioned in at least one file extracted from the trial edition of the game.

INVESTIGATION REPORT ON GAS

Follow-up investigation report on P-ε

- This is an urgent research report -

When P-ε gas is used against Clay virus B.O.W. of ε -base, it was found to weaken the subject's resistance. The gas was decided to be applied under urgent situation to put down those B.O.W.s which are out of control,but according to the following investigation, an unexpected defect was confirmed. In order to avoid inhaling P-ε gas, the ε-base B.O.W. would keep away from the area, which could minimize the range of its activity. The result is, after inhaling the gas, it was put into a state of suspended animation. But because of the prolonged exposure to P-ε gas, the antibody starts to generate in its body, which quickly made it adapted to the poisonous environment. The B.O.W. could dissolve and absorb the P-ε gas as nutrient. Besides, it is confirmed that there is also a variant which can extract poison in this course, and use it as a weapon to kill the enemies. At present, the botanic ε-base B.O.W. "Plant 42" is confirmed almost uncontrollable, so the research and production has been terminated, but the other researches using plants as bases are still carrying on in the facility. In short, this shows that it is advisable to avoid the use of P-ε gas. An immediate review of the P-ε dispersion mechanism is demanded from the above-mentioned thing.
