Here are the most interesting Ethan files from the game. Mia has some of her own that don't carry over to Ethan so I'll have to replay to transcribe them. The majority aren't interesting, so I picked out the ones that are:
Full files as well as translations coming soon.
E-NECROTOXIN DOCUMENT
E-Necrotoxin
Destroys cells of any subject based on the E-series bioweapon model.
Use only for disposal of E-series assets.
The toxin must first be stimulated before use.
Do this by placing a sample of an E-series' cells into the necrotoxin container.

INFECTION REPORT
This report details the symptoms that appear when the bacterium* that grows inside of the E-Series infects a human.
Be sure to read this document thoroughly before dealing with E-Series weaponized assets.
*Hereafter referred to as "mold."
Initial Infection
The mold ingests nutrients from the subject's body to propagate itself, and slowly takes over cells within the body.
As a side effect of this, the infected subject gains remarkable regenerative abilities.
During experiments, we removed arms and legs from test subjects and found that they were able to coapt the amputated limbs in a manner of minutes.
Mid-stage Infection
Once the mold reaches the brain, the subject's thoughts become "in tune" with those of the E-Series asset.
The subject starts to hear things and experience hallucinations, and soon comes under complete control of the E-Series asset.
If this state continues, the host will lose all sense of ego.
Complete Infection
After every cell in the body has been taken over by the mold, the subject begins to lose their human form. Physical mutations differ from case to case, but all result in him or her acquiring incredible physical strength.
Containing a subject at this stage would be extremely difficult.

R&D REPORT [1/2]
This project was instigated in 2000 as one of several concepts for the company's NEXBAS (Next Generation Experimental Battlefield Superiority) initiative, working with technical assistance from H.C.F. to develop a bioweapon for neutralizing combatants en masse with minimal direct contact. NEXBAS was later folded, and all its assets diverted to this project.
What makes this project markedly different from conventional weapons is its ability to turn enemy combatants into allies; converting hostile elements into willing servants.
Since this effectively eliminates the costs of not only POW handling but also combat itself, it's no wonder we had the XXX and even XXXX's XXX organization chomping at the bit to get on board.
The project would never have existed were it not for the discovery in XXXXXX of XXXXXXXXXX, the remarkably progressed "vicariant evolution" fungus that we commonly term the "mutamycete."
The fabrication method for each bioweapon was to introduce the mutamycete genome to a pre-Stage 4 human embyro and perform cultivation in a controlled environment over a period of 38 - 40 weeks.
The resultant organisms were referred to as "candidate specimens" and graded based on usability, from the impractical and faulty Series A through D, to the perfected E-Series.
A common appearance was selected for the bioweapons; that of a roughly ten-year-old girl, to ensure ease of blending in with urban/refugee populations.
The first E-Series specimen, named Eveline, has proven capable of secreting the mutamycete XXXXXXXXX from her tissue at will.
It is also of note that Eveline's mutamycete imposes a profound control over body and mind when introduced into a host organism.
We still have a lot to learn about the mechanisms by which Eveline achieves and maintains this control, but the working theory is that the vector is similar to the autoinducer pheromones used for quorum sensing in pseudomonas bacteria.
Eveline's control is exerted in a series of discrete stages, the first of which is hallucination.
Almost immediately after infection, the subject begins to see images of Eveline (though she is not in fact there) and even hear her voice (which is inaudible to anyone else).
Auditions with infected subjects throughout the stages of infection reveal that at first, the phantom Eveline appears to be a normal young girl, sometimes desiring companionship or assistance. As time progresses, she begins making more and more extreme demands, including self-mutilation and attacks on other people.
The psychological shock this induces helps to break down the mind's natural barriers to Eveline's brainwashing effect, and by the time mental control is achieved, the mutamycete infection has progressed throughout the body's cells, so the body XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

R&D REPORT [2/2]
Eveline's functions also include the ability to form organisms from mycelia, the fungal filaments.
The term "organism" is used loosely here; strictly speaking, they are superorganisms formed of countless mycelia. What's important, though, is that they exhibit a strong survival instinct and will defend themselves ferociously with the slightest provocation. Their fungal toughness and remarkable strength give them significant battlefield potential.
The researchers have been calling these super-organisms the "Molded"; made of mold, and also molded as in "shaped." The name has a certain elegance to it.
For the treatment of accidental infections, performing XXXXX on samples of Eveline's body tissue produces a unique fungicidal serum.
Administering the serum to an infected subject will cause the mycelia to calcify, but if the subject's cells are already invaded, the serum will be fatal. Since the treatment window is so small, the serum's primary use is therefore disposal of infected subjects, rather than a cure.
In exploring the serum's potential, we found that subjecting it to XXXXX would enhance its effects to extreme potency, becoming a compound we now call E-Necrotoxin, which XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in even tiny amounts.
What's been interesting to observe in Eveline's behavior is her obsession with the concept of family.
In experiments, we found on multiple occasions that infected subjects were compelled to act as her "mother" or "father", treating her as if she were really their daughter.
Why did she settle upon family as the theme for her mental control?
This is just speculation, but it could be that she instinctively understands that a family unit is better suited to blending into social groups than a lone girl.
On the other hand...well, a sentimental sort might suggests that she's making up for a perceived lack of "love" in her quarantined upbringing. A parent's love.
