Canon Entry 0.3 - Beginnings 1 (RE: Umbrella Chronicles)

Summary
While Rebecca and Billy continue to dick around the URC, it's time for Wesker to leave and execute his plan of luring S.T.A.R.S. to the Spencer Mansion for combat data. Barring a little retcontinuity in dialogue and where Wesker ends up (in RE0 he's taking the A-2 elevator in NEST but in Beginnings he starts outside the Monitoring Room), Beginnings hashes out and fills in a few small blanks from the overall story of RE0.

Middle of the Night, July 23, 1998

Wesker strikes off from Birkin and is heading back to the training facility to depart back to Raccoon. RE vets will recognize this starting area as the Marshaling Yard in RE2, and Rebecca will later pass through this area as well, flirting a pass through with NEST (the underground lab from RE2). Wesker has to turn on the power to use the tram car. The zombies here are remnants from the investigation units, who had attempted to retreat back to safety from the training facility and labs. I'm not quite sure why there are BOWs closer to NEST but you gotta have a game somehow I guess. Wesker turns on the power and heads back, but encounters the Proto-Tyrant on the way back up.


The Proto-Tyrant, as the name suggests, is the first attempt at a Tyrant, deemed a failure due to a heavily exposed nervous system and lack of intelligence. Despite this, this prototype was fast and hit hard, and although it was to be disposed of, was inadvertently released during Marcus' outbreak. Wesker belittles the experiment however and makes short work of it. Wesker proceeds on to the training facility.

Personal Thoughts
This is obviously a short chapter and not very important in the grand scheme of things. It all rather seems pointless actually and a lot of events here don't even really line up that cleanly with RE0, but I personally make it fit by explaining how the tram car got back to Marcus' labs and leaving Proto-Tyrant by the Marshaling Yard train elevator for Rebecca to encounter again later. When it comes to RE canon, sometimes your head canon works better than the actual games!

I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back.
