Your support makes Blue Moon possible (Patreon)Jill Valentine's attempt to escape from Raccoon City would have come too late. By the time she'd made her preparations the city had already been sealed off and overrun. The RCPD's last stand had failed and the dead now ran rampant across the city, though the zombies were the least of the problems she was facing. Creatures that hadn't been at the mansion were now roaming the city as well, preying on the survivors wherever they might be hiding. Although Jill had managed to evade most of the creatures so far, and any zombies that had gotten in her way had been taken out easily thanks to her STARS training and experience with the Spencer mansion, every escape route she tried seemed to be more dangerous than the last, more overrun with creatures she had never seen before and had no way to overcome. More and more she was being driven back deeper into the city, through side streets and back alleys to avoid the dangers lurking in the streets, but finally her luck seemed like it might have been running out. A small horde of zombies had managed to spot Jill, driving her to run blindly into an alleyway, only to find it was a seeming dead end with no escape. With the horde approaching, their pained moans echoing in the alley, only drawing the attention of more zombies, it almost seemed like Jill would need to resign herself to the inevitable, perhaps even turn her gun on herself to avoid a fate worse than death. But at the last moment was when she saw it. The discreet tell tale signs in the wall, not unlike the hidden doors of the Spencer Mansion. This alley wasn't a dead end after all! This might have been it, her escape!
And indeed it was. The fake wall had moved aside easily, and the metal door behind had been left slightly open, allowing Jill easy entrance. Sure she didn't know what was inside but it couldn't be worse than the certain death outside. The door had shut and sealed behind her easily, more than strong enough to hold back the zombies until they lost interest.
As she explored Jill would soon discover that she was in a hidden Umbrella laboratory, their emblem all over the equipment. It seemed all of the personnel had long since evacuated though, probably getting out of the city at the first sign of trouble, and whatever they were working on at least seemed unrelated to the T-Virus, so there weren't monstrous creatures to escape. As she searched for an exit though Jill could come across it, the central research lab and what seemed to be another survivor.
The woman was suspended in a tank full of liquid, eyes closed as if she were in some kind of suspended animation. At the base of the tube was a control panel, filled with readouts that seemingly indicated she was still alive. On one of the panels was a control marked "Emergency release", contained behind a clear covering box, and for perhaps the first time in Jill's recent life the box wasn't locked with some overly elaborate mechanism, just a simple flick switch to open it.
