061 Identity Revealed?
Project Alice was a project initiated by Dr. Marcus to screen Alicia for the perfect T-virus compatibility.
However, after Dr. Isaacs took over Project Alice, it was weaponized to cultivate powerful, controllable bioweapons.
Alicia was naturally aware of Project Alice.
She remained silent.
"Red Queen, report on the status of the primary Alice," Marcus instructed.
"Yes, sir." Red Queen began reporting on the primary Alice's status. "Currently, the primary Alice has successfully bonded with the T-virus. According to research conducted by Dr. Isaacs's clone at North American headquarters, the primary Alice is very likely a perfect T-virus compatibility candidate; she possesses a series of physical capabilities far surpassing ordinary humans."
Alicia was stunned. "Project Alice succeeded?"
Marcus nodded. "Yes and no. Currently, only the primary Alice has achieved perfect T-virus fusion; the other Alice clones have shown no comparable results."
"What's your plan?" Alicia looked at Marcus.
Marcus responded, "I want to continue researching Project Alice, and through Dr. Isaacs's clone at the North American headquarters, work to replicate the perfect T-virus adaptation technology with the primary Alice's cooperation."
"You hope to become a perfect T-virus candidate yourself?" Alicia asked.
"Why not?" Marcus countered.
Alicia fell silent.
Marcus continued, "Besides that, I also want to develop a specialized version of the T-virus. By the way, the specialized version is what I used to treat you—it removes the psychic enhancement effect but greatly improves its safety profile."
Before Alicia could ask further, Marcus continued, "Although the specialized T-virus doesn't have psychic enhancement capabilities, it can be used to augment ordinary personnel, thereby improving the overall physical quality of our company's workforce."
Alicia did not object.
Red Queen was logging the directives. "Mr. Foster, if we're simultaneously working on the anti-T-virus project, the Alice project, and the specialized T-virus project, we may not have sufficient research personnel available."
"What?" Marcus was taken aback. Umbrella Corporation was a global superpower with research facilities and branches worldwide. How could they lack researchers?
"Currently, the company has too many active research projects, primarily focusing on T-virus applications. Additionally, with the T-virus outbreak, our company is facing extensive legal challenges globally. We genuinely don't have adequate research personnel," Red Queen explained.
Marcus was speechless. "Then prioritize the anti-T-virus project. That's the highest priority, followed by the Alice project, and lastly the specialized T-virus project."
Alicia confirmed, "Execute as Mr. Foster requests."
"Yes, ma'am," Red Queen acknowledged.
"Red Queen, I order you to shut down all surveillance and monitoring devices in this room. I need to discuss classified matters with Mr. Foster," Alicia commanded.
When Dr. Isaacs had convened the highest-level meeting of Umbrella Corporation, he had blocked Red Queen's surveillance and monitoring, thus preventing her from learning about the T-virus's plan to destroy the world.
Dr. Isaacs clearly understood the Red Queen's core limitations.
"As you wish, Alicia," Red Queen agreed.
As Red Queen's presence withdrew, Alicia looked at Marcus, hesitantly asking, "Mr. Foster, who exactly are you?"
"What?" Marcus was taken aback.
"I have memories of you, and I know you're an independent director of Umbrella Corporation. I even remember you casting your vote once," Alicia explained.
"And then you noticed something was wrong?" Marcus countered.
"Yes," Alicia nodded firmly. "Because I have progeria, my father implanted a bio-computer inside me. I have a system similar to the Red Queen inside me that helps me regulate my body, especially pain management." Alicia explained candidly.
Marcus immediately thought of the auxiliary system inside Dr. Isaacs in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
So this technology was also developed by Dr. Marcus?
"The bio-computer AI system within my body doesn't have network connectivity; it exists solely within my body, thus avoiding external control and interference," Alicia continued.
Marcus remained silent.
"In my conscious memory, Mr. Foster is real. If it were based solely on memory, I wouldn't doubt you at all," Alicia sighed. "But, Mr. Foster, do you know that our Umbrella Corporation possesses memory implantation technology, emotion programming technology, and advanced cloning technology?"
"Simply put, if our Umbrella Corporation clones a person, we can completely fabricate memories for them, program emotions, and make them exist as a fully functional human being, without them ever suspecting the truth," Alicia explained, looking directly at Marcus.
Marcus laughed. "So you suspect I'm a clone? And you also suspect I'm a sleeper agent placed by Dr. Isaacs, that he manipulated your memories?"
Alicia didn't answer directly; she simply said calmly, "My memories exist not only in my conscious mind but are also backed up in the bio-computer within my body. I always cross-reference my conscious memories with the data stored in the bio-computer."
"Your bio-computer has no record of me, does it?" Marcus asked.
"Correct. When I go into hibernation, it also enters standby mode. Essentially, it shuts down like a conventional computer, becoming completely inactive. Memory implantation technology has no effect on it," Alicia explained.
Marcus asked in his mind, "System, is this considered a flaw in the causality rewrite?"
"No," the Infinite Realms System responded. "The host has only invested 50 fate points. What level of integration did you expect to achieve?"
The Infinite Realms System added, "According to Alicia's explanation, her bio-computer system was in standby mode, equivalent to being powered down. It's not network-connected, so the system cannot interface with its architecture."
"The system is not omniscient or omnipotent," the Infinite Realms System reminded.
"I know, I know, I've always known. You worthless system, you broadcast such grandiose claims—like transcending all dimensions, transcending time and space, transcending everything, becoming the ultimate transcendent being—but in reality, you're just garbage," Marcus retorted.
"...Fate Warning!" the Infinite Realms System responded with impotent fury.
"Can't even solve the temporal loop prison, isn't that garbage?" Marcus scoffed.
"...Causality Warning!" The Infinite Realms System continued with increasingly severe warnings.
Marcus was too irritated to continue the argument.
"Mr. Foster, can you tell me who you really are?" Alicia stared intently at Marcus.
