September 26, 1998
It's already been two months since that mess with Umbrella. Thanks to the suspension, investigations haven't progressed exactly as I'd hoped. Perhaps this written record of what I've found will prove to be my final duty as a S.T.A.R.S. officer... I can only hope that it helps lead to the truth.
The T-Virus
Those infected by this virus seem to become literal zombies. It appears to be communicable via several different avenues, outlined below:
- Bite from an infected individual, allowing the mixing of bodily fluids
- Contact with crows which have eaten infected carrion
- Due to the strength of the virus, airborne infection cannot be discounted
It should be noted that those who survived the incident have not yet developed symptoms.
It's unclear whether this is because the virus has a long incubation period, or because we just happened to be resistant to the infection. We ought to remain vigilant, even after this investigation period ends.
As for me—aside from my minor difficulties sleeping—I seem to be in fine shape. Still, I shouldn't get too hopeful. After all, this could just be an extended incubation.
