she was sick. she remembered that, at least. being a sick kid wasn't something easily forgettable. between the uncertainties and the medical bills, mandy knew that she was putting a strain on her family. her parents eventually divorced due to the pressures and problems, something mandy felt deeply responsible for. she had a permanent residence in the raccoon city hospital... well, until she didn't. in 1998, she remembered the attempt at evacuation, remembered being cornered by infected as she tried desperately to make her way down an emergency stairwell. she remembered being bitten. she remembered waking up.

in a government facility after racoon city was leveled, mandy awoke to familiar beeps and boops as well as the feeling of an oxygen line and an IV. but this wasn't a hospital, no. they weren't trying to CURE her here. she had been bitten by an infected person, but did not turn -- this was something that the bsaa found INCREDIBLY valuable. and confusing. they did test after test on her, but couldn't find the reason as to why she seemed to be immune to the bite. not only that, but her lifelong illness and problems seemed to... disappear. like it never even happened. like her whole life had been one terrible, medically induced dream.

the bsaa then recruited her -- and why not? her family was dead, her life now open ended. she had nothing to lose. whatever happened to her in racoon city seemed to have OTHER effects as well. she was strong, she was fast, she was sturdier than a brick wall. wounds healed faster, her stamina elongated, her power even a little frightening. they dubbed her 'blazer', a code name given after she managed to run into a burning building and save twenty people trapped inside with nary a burn or scratch on her.

however, time passed. and after decades of fighting bioterrorism, blazer felt her body beginning to... weaken. her strength dialed down slowly over time, her speed and especially her ability to take a punch. in 2026, she too realized that she was not only weakening -- but she suspected the virus was finally starting to take hold.

"Don't start. I did what I had to."

"Right. Guess I'm not talking you out of this."

"Hey, fuckface!"

"It's my turn, bitch!"

"I'm not gonna die on you and leave you in a cold, cruel, [name]-less word."

"Do me a favor and don't fuck up like I did."

"C'mon, [name]. We know how this ends."

"C'mon, don't look at me like that, alright? I'm not an infected!"

"One fucked-up thing always leads to another."

"The only safe place is in here!"

"You don't have to trust me, but I'm going to the shelter. You coming?"

"Listen, I promise you're in good hands."

"I'm gonna get you that vaccine. You're gonna be OK, I promise."

"The town's crawling with those freaks. No chance of fighting our way out of the city."

"Just look around you. The longer we wait, the more screwed we are."

"We've gotta be dreaming. How could this many people be infected?"

"How did this all happen so fast?"

"Name's [name] and I'm saving you!"

"If I die, you'll never find out the truth!"

"Where is your sense of self-preservation?"

"What were you thinking, turning yourself into bait?"

"The only life that matters is your own."

"Ballsy motherfucker."

"C'mon, let's get you someplace safe."

"Sure you don't need to stop?"

"Hey, come on. There's a helicopter waiting to take you to safety."

"We need to get you geared up."

"You're a hell of a lot braver than me."

"I don't have time to explain. You gotta get outta there RIGHT NOW!"

"[name]! Here they come!"

"Stay back! Don't come any closer!"

"You think I don't know how to fuck you up?"

"Three more days. Then I can kiss this town goodbye."

"What the hell is that thing?!"

"Hey! Hey, wait! Down here!"

"We're gonna make a run for it!"

"Sorry. We're gonna have to go around."

"I think we're in the clear."

"Alright, keep your head screwed on, Romeo."

"[name], you are amazing! Tough as nails, too."

"Your reputation is well deserved."

"I must admit, I respect your tenacity."

"Goodbye, [name]. A shame you didn't listen to me when you had the chance."

"I don't need a bleeding heart like you getting in the way."

"Alright, I'm in. But I'm on their side. Not yours."

"[name], I know we didn't get off to a great start, but... thanks for the save."

"Are we still a team?"

"Hey, what do you know about that monster?"

"Are you shitting me? I thought you killed it!"

"Look, just so you know? This is the last fucking time."

"I don't think the wisdom I've been trying to impart on you is getting through."

"Next time... take the fucking hint."

"I don't mind a little detective work."

"You're not going to stop me."

"Do you know how long I've been trying to reach somebody?"

"You can thank your corporate overlords for that."

"A rocket launcher? Really?"

"Knew you couldn't pull the trigger."

"Surely a tall drink of water like yourself can put out a few flames."

"Fucking gross!"

"Have you ever seen anything so incredible?"

"This is insane."
