RE virus chart (draft)
This was inspired by the new RE9 demo and the curious combination of sounds sampled by the Hag stalking Grace. It looks like it incorporates elements of lickers (T-virus), the Bella sisters (Las Plagas), and Lisa Trevor (Progenitor). (Thanks to @colesabi for pointing those out!) The light sensitivity is also something we've seen with previous T-virus variants like the leeches in RE0 and Uroborus is vulnerable to fire. (Perhaps Wesker's propensity for dark glasses is also a result of him being experimented on as part of the Wesker project.) There are a lot of failed viral/parasitic agents and I was trying to create an overview of how they all connect to each other. (Any mistakes are on me - any corrections are welcome 😅)
Spencer's original plan was to use the Progenitor virus to make his eugenics fantasy a reality but the derivate viruses Umbrella and its various off-shoots developed never quite succeeded. They either destroyed the subjects' cognitive abilities, killed too many people, were unstable, or just made a necrotic mess. There is a running theme were combining the virus with either a parasite or suitable anti-bodies gets you closer to something useful like the G-virus, Nemesis, Dr Marcus' leech copy or someone like Albert Wesker or Alexia Ashford. I'm guessing that someone connected to Umbrella (like Spencer or Dr Bailey) is trying to finally complete the Progenitor Project, and they need Grace's blood (which may contain the Daylight anti-bodies from her mom Alyssa) to do so. There are hints in Re5 that Las Plagas may have a similar origin as the Progenitor virus so perhaps that's the other ingredient that's needed (and that could connect to Leon who is a Plagas survivor). I have no idea if the mold has any connection to all this - Miranda did use the cadou parasite to control the mold - so perhaps she gave Spencer the idea to try combining the two .
